DF:You should be scared.

DF: it doesn't have graphics. why? because you don't need to know what a C is, you only need to know it doesn't like you and you should probably kill it.

You can't in DF, only with creatures even smaller than rabbits. (Rabbits aren't vermin, see.)

People have killed Colossi with rabbits and kittens.

How? I'm interested to hear. Oddly enough, I find the concept of killing a bronze colossus with a rat more likely than with a cat.

95: normal games pit you through a set story, stock enemies, and a set of levels, in dwarf fortress you are pitted through a randomly generated story, randomly generated enemies, and randomly generated worlds, spice with insanity at needed
How entirely true.

100. Rats are a more likely device to kill statues with than cats. And that is awesome.
101. The only success is an awesome failure, so you don't need to be perfect.

102: In your standard dungeon crawler, you form a group of adventurers to delve into the depths of horrible fortresses, kill everything, and grab everything you can carry. In DF, the inverse is true.
103: Also: In your standard dungeon crawler, you're expected to mop the floor with early enemies on your own. In DF, you need body guards before you even think of doing this.

104: Our combat system will make you cry.
105. If you're crying, can I have your eyeballs?

Cats and rabbits kickboxing colossi off cliffs :P

Makes sense, given how the dodge mechanic is the bane of everything that fights on a cliff.

yeah, hows this for a conflict,

im fighting a dragon at the edge of a cliff, if i dont dodge it, it will eviscerate me. if i do dodge it, 50% chance i take a 12 Z-level freefall.

Of the two big cripples at Gemsquashed right now, one was surprised and severely injured by goblins during an ambush.

The other was spooked off a cliff by a rabbit.

I think that we've gotten as much mileage out of this thread as we can, so I'm going to stop it before it becomes a bloated, overfed monstrosity like the Happy thread.
