Actually, dropping enough dwarves on a planet might do some damage... (to the planet, that is.)

[Remalle]

We already have orbbombsats.  They're just not worth the effort, so of course their totally dwarfy.

[Dimitri]

That's ok
It generally means that the person saying it has been caught doing the wrong thing I.E: altering quote and seeing if anyone would notice.

As for your song? I don't mind it. It's certainly... interesting, but it does have a number of redeeming features.

Good to know.
The fact that they're all laughing through the entire thing definitely lightens the mood. Ridiculous turned to 11.

Well, dropping a tungsten crowbar from space has roughly the effect of a 50kg bomb due to kinect energy. One could assume a 70kg dwarf would have a decent effect. Times that by seven for a full payload and viola! Instant dwarven kinetic weapons.

In game though. Do creatures take damage from having other creatures fall on them? Does armour get taken into account? Can I mod in lead armour and call the whole thing a full metal dwarf and simply drop him frm a high platform onto a goblin?

EDIT: I've just woken up so my writing is wrong. Put him in lead underclothes and then encase him in copper armour and call THAT a full metal dwarf.

Falling on creatures just softens the impact and stuns the thingy underneath, no matter the weight or height. If you orbital bombard with dwarves... all you'll get is a mess, a big mess.

[Shootandrun]

No, falling objects or living beings don't affect the living beings they fall onto, so that idea would'nt work.

Also, it would be really messy.

Sooo, in a corridor filled with cage traps, I could, in theory, sacrifice a couple of dworfs to get my grubby mits on a FB? I like those odds
Also, yes mess is an annoyance but it is damned interesting to watch.

[NotPete]

Any living thing, not just dwarves. Dwarves would be funnier tho.

[jamesadelong]

And easier to organise onto the mechanism. Burrows anyone?

[NotPete]

Pastures make it equally easy for animals.

[jamesadelong]

Excellent point. But then, at the end of the day, you have to find a use for a migrant dabbling cheesemaker and kittens, horses and tamed GCS are all valuable as meat and leather (on that note, I recieved a giant cave spider chitchen helmet menacing with spikes of steel with an image of my dwarfs killing a small creature at somepoint ).

[RAKninja]

say, am i the only one to play DF while listening to "entry of the gladiators"?

[jamesadelong]

I listen mainly to the music that reflects what I'm doing. Classical for major architecture, trance for micro-management and industrial metal for those times just before a caravan where your simply pumping out as many *(*short sword*)*s as possible

[Gatleos]

trance for micro-management

Because when I think of mashing the same two keys over and over, I think of hardcore techno music. How stupid do you-

*tries it*

OH MY GOD IT WORKS
