Just add [trAINABLE] to their raws and you can make War Lions, as long as you tame them with the dungeon master first.

[COMMON_DOMESTIC], I think, will allow you to buy them at embark.

Ah yes. I once went ahead and added the trainable tag to everything.

my War Unicorn army was eventually destroyed by the octoclowns. Piercing damage hurts.

They may harvest but they won't plant it.
They will if you alter their labours via an external program. 'Course, if modding isn't an option you could always stick a planter in with the Hammerer and hope that the planter doesn't draw the short straw when it comes to random punishments.

Just Forbid the short straw to make sure no one draws it. For best results, don't even bother producing hay to begin with.

Oh god. I did not know that could happen like that. "THE THINGS YOU DID JUST BECAME CRIMES! YOU ARE NOW GUILTY!"

Artifacts are a huge source of amusement for many.

Combat specifics are fascinating

Learning more about the physics of DF would be great

Genetics are always fun

THIS CAN ONLY END WELL

Toady Pic

At first I was like "Why is there a giant arrow pointing at his crotch?" but then I remembered it's the icon for thirst.  Best card.

Currently my forum settings (the default, I assume) show 9 stickies and 11 nonstickies.

That is to say, we're exactly one stickied thread from them taking up half the front page.

DF talk 5 was significantly less "fluent" than his other podcasts, which don't have nearly the amount of "ers" and "likes" and "ums" in them.

They've all had lots of ers, ums, etc.  Toady would have to utter a solid string of ums for there to be a noticeable drop in "fluency."

I think like, 50% of his speech is Ums anyway, so if we assume random distribution, then statistically, sooner or later a long chain is inevitable.

Can you explain? I can imagine only one situation with a goblin in front of me, and I hope it's not the thing you mean.


I was referencing this

to quote the princess bride: "you keep using that word. I'm not sure if you know what it means."

I can clearly not choose the goblin in front of me

He needed some bone for his fey mood.

This is version 41. It is crafted from human sweat. All coding is of the highest quality.

There is an image of a Fortress in human sweat. The fortress is Fun. This image relates to the creation of Version 41 by Tarn "Toady One" Adams, Codecrafter, in 2009 "The Briganded Eels"

Not like there's anyone behind toady pointing a gun to his head while he codes anyway.

why do you think i only type with one hand?

But homosexuality is still generally a blight on the people whose lives are consumed by it. It's a psychological disease. I accept the people, I love the people, but I don't have to love the disease.

In what fashion does it serve as a blight or a disease? While I might agree that in some cases be CAUSED by trauma or damage, it does not appear to me to have any inherently harmful effects in the way stealing or alcoholism would.

Have you seen the Bible? If that was written after the discovery of the West Indies then I'm the President of Spain.

Of course, merely existing doesn't mean that it was the primary indication of culture. On the other hand, it does show the author's opinion of the subject, which would give you a bit of insight into the cultural status of the time.
