Anyone else ever have an injured baby? He's got a Red leg. Just never seen that before.
-
Is his mom a soldier? Then you've got a babyshield there.
Other possibilities include that his mom died and the kid tried to suicide or the kid and his non-soldier mom got attacked by something
-
This is a masterfully constructed babymail armor. It is made from masterfully concieved poop factory. The diaper is wet.
-
Another possibility is that the mother got under dropping floor (from cave-in) while carrying baby. Happened to me once, Mother was bed ridden for years. The baby had head injury, grew to child normally, then decided to run towards orc ambush (which was loooooong distance away) even though I had ordered dwarves to stay inside. Suicide, of course.
I like to think that the head injury caused the child to behave that way... :D
-
I had a baby lose a few chunks once while his mother was pumping out a river to make an obsidian cast. One of the remaining sturgeon decided to have a bit of baby bacon. Nasty wound, trail of blood for 10 or so squares. I didn't think babies had that much in them!
-
The baby will probably heal up. Its just a red wound which is severe but can be healed. Just make sure you have some water and a few spare buckets and the baby will be fine.

I don't think babies need or even CAN drink water (or booze), they get all the liquid they need from Mom in their first year.
-
If the mother is dead dwarves will bring food and water to the baby like any other injured dwarf.
-
I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.

You, sir, have just given me one of the most epic images ever.

we need someone to draw this.

I hda a baby with two mangled hands and a mangled right upper leg a bit ago, a result of a fire imp attack on her mother. She crawled around injured for a while, grew into a child, then got drug into a bed, where she sat until she healed. Healed before she even reached maturity, though.
This is the same dwarf in the "Whats going on in your fort?" thread. Both her parents are dead.
If only my map had bats on it.
-
My major achievement is wehn I had a tunnel leading to my magma forges, just let the lava loose and a baby crawled in and couldn't get out.
It was funny
-

OK.

Well, if they don't go insane that is. In one of my old aboveground megacities, not one but TWO babies suicided by jumping from the top floor of a 12 Z-level high skyscraper (highest of the three skyscrapers I had constructed) and splattered all over my prison's roof. I only found the first baby's remains after the second one died, before that time it was a mystery how the "Baby has collided with an object" death message happened. I constructed a ramp and the dwarves took the remains (first baby was bones and second was a fresh corpse) into their tombs from the prison roof.
They suicided because their parents got killed in a siege.

sig'd
OT: Babyshields are the number 1 cause of baby injuries.
-
I got sig'd! Sweet! ;D
if only the idea didn't break down when we throw female baby dorfs into the equation, what with their beardlessness. or maybe they're born with a beard and it later falls off? Either way.
also, love the pic supermikhail!
-
female ... dorfs ... what with their beardlessness
Excuse me?
-
If I recall correctly, I believe toady has established this at some point. I'm not sure where, though.
-
That was Scamps talking. Deffo not canon.
-

No, Toady was talking about the fact that there is now a tag in the raws for dwarves (in the next release) which you can toggle on and off to set whether females have beards or not, the default I believe is to have females beardless, but you can turn it back on by just putting the brackets in.

if that's the case, mine are definitely going to be bearded. Sorry for causing confusion, I could've sworn it was cannon. My bad.

Mine definetly aren't, and I like it that way.

Why stop at making them beardless? Give them all D-cups, Barbie-doll waists and make them all 170cm high. Also: blue eyes.
-
except for the assorted noble consorts. if they're gonna be whiny little bitches anyway, might as well give them a good reason to be. give them a scale-faced, rancid-breathed, hairless, horned harpy she-dwarf who is far burlier and definitely more barrelchested than their pampered royal selves.
-
I don't really care whether you make the females like that, what I do isn't your problem. So don't have an attitude over it.
-

More for the carp to grab hold of even if they are flotation devices?

unless they explode when punctured. that'll teach the fish not to mess with dwarves. Especially if they're somehow filled with magma.....I wonder if that's going to be possible in the new release...
-
Meh, if you can't handle a little teasing don't go OTI.
-
Meh, if you can't handle a little teasing don't leave the basement. Ever.
fix'd that for you.
-
Sarcasm doesn't go accross the internet very easily, was hard to tell whether you were having an attitude or not.
Also, OTI?Meh, if you can't handle a little teasing don't leave the basement. Ever.

Speak for yourself.
-
On the Internet.
-
and for the record, the leaving the basement thing was sarcasm.
in case you didn't notice, if you deal with other people at all you're going to get teased for something eventually. kind of hard to avoid unless you're perfect.

Theres also the fact that sarcasm doesn't go accross the internet very well. Lets just drop it as a misunderstanding, ok?
-
fair enough.
I think it's safe to say this thread has been derailed....
sooooo.... injured babies...
-
Yes, back to the appropriate material ::)
-
Yes yes, babies which have been injured.
-
And perhaps stuffed into barrels.
-
the only injured baby story I have is when both mother and child waded into battle and came out with the same injuries. namely missing middle fingers and a damaged leg each
-
That'll teach her not to show the baby how to flip off the gobbos.

Although it is a bit wierd that they both got the exact same injuries.

Those goblins must have been stealing their beer. They weren't just seeing double, they became double.
