No, I mean as differentiated from just "Lost a friend to tragedy." like "Struck down a friend."

Is it just me, or are some of the artifacts, especially the clothing ones, a bit really tacky?

I once ended up accidentally flooding a flooding a just started fortress with magma. My second or third level, I was trying to shave the cone as close as possible, and I think I hit a diagonal by mistake.
My last two or three Dwarves made it to the enclosed dining room/statue garden on that floor and sealed the doors. Unfortunately, they were entirely surrounded by lava, the stairs were blocked, and my pickaxe disappeared with the miner.
I ended up abandoning and reclaiming, but the dwarves were dead by the time I drilled down. I figured it was a bad omen and permanently abandoned the site.

Nice.
Hey, do Dwarves get a particular unhappy thought for being the one striking down the loved one?
"Lor Jewelchamber has been conflicted lately. She took joy in slaughter lately. She lost a loved one to tragedy lately."

Hey, how does vials liquid fire stack up as a trade good?
I figure, I'm going to build a bunch of traps, give my trappers and dissectors something to do, and give my glassmakers some practice. Though, it seems that the vials will be more valuable than the contents.

Ah, thanks.
Now, if have an artifact stolen in Dwarf mode, will I ever be able to find it in Adventure mode?
Which actually reminds me, if I get a child stolen in Dwarf mode, will I see them (hostile or otherwise) in Adventure mode?

Hey, do artifacts ever pop up elsewhere, or is your Dwarf Fortress the only source of them?
Like, if I go into adventure mode, am I going to find other civilization's artifacts?

I thought Dwarves got drunk when they didn't drink. Kinda like Futurama robots.
Maybe their biology uses alcohol as a reagent/enzyme.
"You don't drink the Dwarven Ale."
"You don't drink the Dwarven Ale."
"You don't drink the Dwarven Ale."
"You are now incredibly sober."
"You fall down and throw a tantrum."

And whether or not they can get more bone crossbow bolts from killing them than it takes bone crossbow bolts to kill them.

« on: March 19, 2009, 07:49:05 am »
Hey, is it possible to catch cave/phantom spiders, and then have them wandering around and creating webs? Will they do this if they are pets (to keep them from being eaten)?
And would it be possible to do the same with a giant cave spider?

Just had Nish Idekmebzuth "Brainoar" was just a regular Urist Doe Planter, distinguish herself.
She was out and about near the end of my first big ambush (about a dozen goblins or so), when a child snatcher popped up near her.
I drafted her, and she just started wrestling the goblin, bashing up his upper torso, head, and leg, and getting stabbed in the leg herself. They're fighting and rolling around for about half a dozen spaces, when one of the war dogs runs up and bites the gobbo's leg clean off, so hard that it flew another half-dozen spaces and off a cliff.
I just liked...I think it was the struggling. They surprise each other, and then they're rolling on the ground, desperately trying to kill each other.
