Played a genesis mod werewolf, and was hunting in the wilds. I found some horses, and I thought, "I'm a werewolf, they're horses. This should be easy." I was very, very wrong. I soon learned that the horse's main attack is its kick, and that can do a LOT of damage. By the time I finished off the horse from hell, my werewolf was bruised all over. I don't mean light bruising, I mean the kind that leaves deep imprints like scars. Not a single part of my wolf's body was unscathed.hey they're 650kilograms why would you excpect an easy fight?

in unmodded game, cornered horses stomp over entire goblin squads!.. sometimes.
I was stabbed in the ear through my chest armor.
You can't explain that.
I just made a new world and it seems that every fortress save one in the current area has been abandoned. The only one that isn't only has a lord.
According to the wiki, this happens if the civ has been taken over by a demon, but the lord should be a demon; he's not. He's a human and his description is typical of a weak noble type.
:/
COMBAT. REPORTS. >:(agreed. in pics.
as far as I know it is IMPOSSIBLE to have someone attack themselves.
i killed 5 bandits, killed their leader, began waiting for my team to catch up, looked away from screen.What the hell...? That's just... freaky.
i looked back i was dead and there were 3 turkey gobblers and a goat next to me and all of my dead companions.
I was exploring an old fortress when a horse kick me in the head and I died.
I carved a path of bloody carnage to assassinate the king of the dusk elf empire. When I got there I snuck inside his chambers, revealed myself and prepared to fight him. First shot I whack him in the head with my pommel and knock him out. I find it so funny that instead of killing him I take all of his clothes cut off his phallus and leave.
Once again, this occurrence is more common in Dwarf Fortress than it may seem.I know it's fairly common but I killed 180+ people in his civilization before I went after him. I was kind of hoping for something a bit more substantial than a sucker punch and penis theft.

Anyways, my own WTF moment was when I was facing someone with a copper scimitar, and I had a silver longsword. I whacked him with the flat of my blade, and it bruised the skin. The whole ordeal went down like this:
You slap The Swordsman in the head with the flat of your silver longsword, bruising the skin!
The Swordsman strikes You in the head with the pommel of his copper scimitar, bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!
You have been knocked unconsious!
You have been struck down.
WTF. I thought that blunt attacks for a silver sword would be as effective as they would be from a normal attack from a blunt item. Guess what? APPARENTLY NOT.
Though it has very little grounds in realism, I believe I can in fact explain how one gets stabbed in the ear while the weapon passes through the chest armor.Especially if your a woman and the weapon is a spear or something, if you were wearing leather it could go through one of your tits and hit the ear on the other side
Standing to the side, crouching, at a STEEP upward angle. It would enter the armor just below where your ribcage is, slide across your flesh, come up in the neck-hole or through the pauldron-area, and pierce said ear.
I was stabbed in the ear through my chest armor.
You can't explain that.
FTW
That's so epic, that's gonna be my new signature.
I can. You modded ears to appear on your body. Otherwise it's impossible because an attack can only target a single main bodypart, and an ear is attached to a head and thus cannot be hit when you hit a chest armor. Unless you wear it on your head :).
@toxiciron: You CAN kill someone (in DF) by using nothing but your hands. (Other than strangling/breaking em) You can wrestle their own clothes off and throw it at them, it will travel at the speed of sound and break them.
That happens, try getting an appendage removed and throwing it back at the one who removed it. Vengeance.
What surprises me most is that the coat not only had a blunt impact into his rib, but it STUCK inside him! I just can't picture a coat being stuck in like that after being thrown... I guess it might break a rib if it was, for example, shot from a cannon, but it being left sticking out of him? So crazy...
I believe this is the second or third time I've posted a comment about throwing phalluses but that won't stop me.Aw dude it's gay if they touch.
"The spinning Adventurer's phallus strikes the fish dissector in the phallus, bruising the skin.
The Adventurer's phallus has lodged firmly in the wound!"
I'm not actually entirely sure that would be possible but even the concept amuses (and worries) me.
WTF. I thought that blunt attacks for a silver sword would be as effective as they would be from a normal attack from a blunt item. Guess what? APPARENTLY NOT.You expected slapping someone with the flat of a sword to be as lethal as clonking someone with a mace? ???
I'm guessing it must have been one of those old chainmail shirts that had the chainmail hood. IT waould protect stuff ont he sides of the head bu I imaagine if you actually went for the head, you could just stab them in the face. Or there's strips of chainmail in a loop on the head.That would make sense but aren't there also chainmail hoods? (I play genesis so much I can't remember what's vanilla)
Did I say that?WTF. I thought that blunt attacks for a silver sword would be as effective as they would be from a normal attack from a blunt item. Guess what? APPARENTLY NOT.You expected slapping someone with the flat of a sword to be as lethal as clonking someone with a mace? ???
"WTF. I thought that blunt attacks from a silver sword(slapping with the flat of the blade/hitting with the pommel) would be as effective as they would be form a normal attack from a blunt item (mace/hammer/crossbow)." Unless you were talking about corpses, barrels, or AnyOtherHeavyObject? I think the effectiveness of blunt attacks is determined by the weight of the weapon.Did I say that?WTF.

Actually heavy objects work too. My favorite thing to do in adventure mode is fill a backpack with someones blood and cave their skull in with it.

I once bit off a childs phallus after I fed his family to alligators. Macabre is how I roll.
Bit macabre, don't you think? :o
Bit macabre, don't you think? :oWhat are you complaining about? This is Dwarf Fortress. In the subforum above, we're trying to rot soldiers' eyes out, having ghosts beat up their relatives, and slowly amputating megabeasts of their limbs, teeth, and extra heads. For no good reason*.
so what is the moment that made you go wtf??? the most
mine was when i was was sent to kill...a helmet snake really i was expecting something big and scary not a regular snake that was one shotted by my maceman
Duck gets a title.gunna tell what the title was?
Legendary fully armed and armoured adventurer. I go to strangle a duck for training, duck dodges, bites my neck, I die. Duck gets a title.
Next adventurer goes on a wild goose chase for the Duck, I actually find him! I go to kill it sadly it dodges my spear and causes fatal heart damage with it's bite, somehow.
Next I get an archer to take out, it dodges all of my arrows and hops into a lake. I follow it and the Duck gets of the lake at the other side, as soon as the Duck gets out of the water the lake freezes! Cunning bastard.
Finally I get an adventurer swordsman gathers a bunch of soldiers that somehow get there asses handed to the BY A DUCK!

Gimme the save! I want to *talk* to that duck in the name of DWARVEN !!SCIENCE!!... It's probably a relative of the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog (From Monthy Python and the Holy Grail)
Nah, it died, I hunted it at night so that Bogey Men would spawn and let the Bogey Men kill him.
I want to see the complete legends entry for that duck.... 'cos it sounds like a badassNah, it died, I hunted it at night so that Bogey Men would spawn and let the Bogey Men kill him.

I swear there aren't dicks in the game ??? Unless it's a mod of course
At one point I managed to cut off a bandit's cock. Thinking that was funny I picked it up and stuffed it in a bag. I spent the next hour beating Bandits into an unconscious state, cutting off their phallus and stuffing it into the bag.
When the bag was full I went on a rampage, smacking people down with a bag full of dicks. It took me a while but eventually I thought "What the FUCK am I doing?"
When the bag was full I went on a rampage, smacking people down with a bag full of dicks.Bandit: Go eat a bag of dicks, you asshole!
There's something wrong about this bridge that I just quite can't put my finger on...No kidding. "The Bridge of Music?" What were they thinking?

My biggest wtf moment was at the start of the game :)Maybe the spear was meant as a really big arrow?
I started out my new adventurer as a grand master archer. And they gave me a copper spear
can anyone help explain why this happened? i rage quit when i saw that :)

So I retired an epic adventuress, and started an adventurer for breeding purposes. After letting the male equip himself off the female's spoils and clean up her leftovers, I retired him and returned to Ivanka.Umm...the link led to a picture of a frozen golden frog. Wait...her hands were full of poisonous frozen toads?! :o
She spawned outside. All of her weapons and shields were in her backpack. Her hands were FULL of... well, you'll see. I started to drop them at first, but then realized that HOLY ARMOK IVANKA WAS RAISED BY DWARVES.Spoiler: "what the..." (click to show/hide)
*Creates adventurer*
Sweet, spawns with full iron armour.
Walks out of town, takes an arrow to the eye.
FML
I had an adventurer today who I think spawned without an arm or something. I went to fight a night-creature (heavily wounded, as he had taken out 3 adventurers with full parties before-hand. I had paid close attention to the combat log, but in the middle of the fight, I went to put my spear away to free my hand to grapple, and I notice that he's holding both his shield and sword in the same hand and the other seems to be missing.
This was a weird one from 40d:
I decided to mess with all the world gen parameters at random. So I look at the map, cold world, all ice and tundra except for little islands of warmer areas, and of course the mountains. So I roll up an adventurer in a human civ in an interesting area.
"You dodge the jet of steam."
I'm like what!? Why is everything on fire?!? Turns out, when DF says it's burning it means literally. With further exploration I found places where one tile would be burning hot, and the next deathly cold. Most environmental deaths I've ever had.
I passed out from exhaustion after throwing a turkey around. That turkey pecked at my head for 3 days while I faded in and out of consciousness. I eventually bled out.
My biggest what the fuck moment was grabbing a bronze colossus and throwing it(on a massively overpowered char) wondering where it went, taking one step away, then it landing behind me and kicking me into a tree.
apparently i somehow threw a bronze colossus one Z level. i also survived that incident with *only* 12 broken bones and massive bleeding.
*whistles*So how did you know that was what caused you to suffocate if you never noticed? ???
wait, what? I suffocated?
a yak bull gored me in the chest, puncturing my lung, and I never noticed.

The temperature is based on the time of day. In a lot of temperate regions or colder, the water spontaneously turns solid en masse when it becomes night in adventure mode. As you may have noticed, this causes instant, unavoidable death to every living thing in the water.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Got ambushed by bandits and leader died of old age. wtf?
ps: i would post battle report but im not sure how...
I don't know how you can swing someone hard enough using just their toe to make them explode, but it happened.
next time try climbing out (alt-move) onto the ice instead of trying to outswim nightfall
"The carp bites you in the..."
I thought they were nerfed...
Create adventurer.
Go north for no reason.
Stop fast traveling to swim across a river.
First step next to the river:
"YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN!"

"The carp bites you in the..."
I thought they were nerfed...
My WTF moment was very recent. I had just started an adventurer, and after a busy day of throwing stones at wild animals and fish I went to town and slept in a house. When I woke up, I was on the roof, with no way down. In hindsight I should have tried to fast traveled, but instead I decided to try to jump off the roof.
I suffocated quickly.
Not one was about necromancy.
When I made a new world, walked around for a bit and suddenly, it started raining blood...
No word of a lie, it was early years, like, year ten or something, can't remember.
It is raining.
A dark, menacing cloud towers above you, crowned by an anvil.
The sun is high in the western sky behind the clouds.
Hello everyone!
Yes, I know that this is necroing, but for one thing, I think there may be some gems in here you may remember, and secondly, I just had such a moment in the game and sought a fitting place to share it.
Just after assassinating another dragon, I travel back to civilization through a normal (neither evil nor good). Still, experiences with earlier adventurers with evil rain made me cautious when I saw the rain animation. So, I pressed 'W', and this is the message I got:QuoteIt is raining.

I hope Armok isn't mad at me for killing those dragons (^_^;;

Pretty sure it was a glitch, however a while ago, i was wandering over a frozen ocean, my game started to lag, and suddenly i surrounded by ice walls on all sides, i didn't fall threw or anything ether.

This happened to me too. I think the ocean was melting and freezing over and over again. I don't know if I was just lucky, but I somehow managed to run away without getting walled in or encased in ice. I advise against walking across an ocean in a temperate area...
