Outlaw Star is the reason I'm into Scifi at all.  Well, and Reboot.  We need Toonami back...
I got digital channels back two weeks ago and the first time I watched Adult Swim it was during the Aril Fools toonami prank thing. I thought they were doing midnight run again, then I got sad and started shouting.

Everyone will die.
Don't you know those things are lethal?

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

So I found out that Vampirism stops Attribute gain..... :'(

But, I bet you already knew that.....


All this really does is delay when they receive Vampirism until their attributes are high

I think it might be a good idea to raise all Attributes and try and give the super-soldiers a grounding in virtually all non-speech, non-artisan and  non-food skills

Make them able to build fortifications, mine quickly, operate a balista, build a balista, make armor/cloths treat wounded and various other such skills.

The chief goal being to make your Troopers independent from Civilian aid preventing "fraternization" which might otherwise make it necessary to "pacify" your own populace, or increase the rate of "unfortunate accidents".

Furthermore it would allow your Troopers to replace used munitions, or to create a new weapon to equip if their current ones are less effective.

That way if you reach those  "Infernal" neighbors of yours you can send in the Super-Troops, and  collapse the cave behind them so your pathetic peasants are peaceful.

Also it would be for the best to segregate your Squads by gender, to ensure that no romantic attachments form.

So did some arena testing

Test parameters

(Armor)
Leather: pants, shoes, shirt, coat, gloves and hood:
Steel: chain-mail, helm, leggings, High Boots, breastplate, gauntlets

(Equipment)
Steel: Sword, Shield

(Skills) All Grandmaster

Test #1
1 vampire Dwarf Vs 1 Mundane Dwarf (tested 10 times)

Result:
In only one test did the vampire lose and only two did they receive real injury's (Cut's/gashes)

The Vampire that lost failed because he got his blade stuck in Dorf McMadeofSteels guts and then got his arm carrying his shield hit hard enough to drop it.

McMadeofSteel died of blood lose after winning, likely from losing his foot (ripped off), losing a eye( no clue, couldn't find how), his teeth ( I think all of them), and having several broken bones( all but his last remaining arm, which had the sword) {Oh, and Did I mention a sword stuck in his guts?}

I had a total of 10 separate test's each time adding another mundane dwarf to team #2
Each was done ten times, with the same parameters

The Vampires where roughly equal to 4-6, mundane dwarfs
Once they engaged 5+ Dwarfs they began losing limbs.

At 8-10 Dwarfs they could be reliably be counted on to kill 5-8 and too maim/injure the remainder

Combine vampirism  with the Super Soldier programs, and we shall make the elves and the stupid "infernal" neighbors  Tremble!

Somewhat off topic since this is the childcare thread, maybe redo your test with an actual fort and see how many children your vampire can kill?
You may need to trigger a loyalty cascade or something to force this to happen.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

This is the childcare/super-solder thread, so eventually turning them into vampires is on topic.

ITT: People worshiping girl in hat as a god

In place of the Blood God you will set up a Queen. And she shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love her and despair!
Don't forget the artifact ring called "Nenya, the Ring of Adamant".

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)
"And so, after many deaths and much sacrifice, someone turned their fortress into a fully functioning self aware carpet that actively sought after sources of fresh blood."

Ah, I take it that this is the first time you've laid eyes on the Outlaw Star. Be thankful I didn't have a picture of it sumo-wrestling other grappler ships, as being exposed to such awesome/ridiculousness so immediately could likely cause brain damage.

one way to harden a child up is to put hitler in a cage and give the adult weapons and shields after
puting an army of female dogs in the cage ... well eclosed room with masterwork engravings
