Greatest/Worst embark ever.
« on: September 18, 2011, 08:41:41 pm »

So I just embarked. There is tons of bituminous coal, magnetite, limonite, soil, a giant mountain perfect for a fort, trees everywhere and a large river. There is also flux stone and shallow and deep metals. I see clay near by as well.

However, the river is full of tiger fish (which, judging from the description, appear to be the new carp.) Near them is a horde of hippos and peacefully grazing near by attempting to surround and destroy me are a throng of elephants. Any advise?

Capture the fish for an aquarium, slaughter the elephants to make skull masks, and ride the hippos to war against the elves!

That would be all's well and done but I just started and the elephants are storming my fort generously showering with gifts since they are superior to us. I am not being held hostage.

-2 for sigging yourself.

And Necro is right.  What was I thinking?  You should, of course, be throwing magma at the carp and then mining out the corpses, because there's no dwarfier way to go fishing than to go mining.

I see no problems here. Fish are no longer dangerous, elephants are no longer dangerous. Maybe the hippos might cause a problem.

And that's only fair, considering hippos are one of the most dangerous real animals out there.

Did you know that a panda can crush a grown man's skull in its mouth?

That didn't last long, huh? Shame, cause binary's cool. Anyway, an important message: I will be changing my names on every username based thing I use to ASCIt on/around 10/1. Consolidating, I guess you could say.

Yep.  And a hippo will run you down and trample you flat.  The panda is a lot less aggressive - you still wouldn't want to try to pet one.
