You need a magma-safe screw and a magma-safe mechanism. Other than that, I think you could build it out of ice. Stone certainly works.

"Urist McWizard, I need a healing potion."
"I toss him a potion."
*DM rolls dice and checks table*
"You break his left leg."
Anyway, I think the reason they tend not to make it realistic is that in really life, the fact that you're an experienced mercenary fighting a few badly trained security guards doesn't guarantee that you'll survive. Also, If you're hit, there's a good chance it will kill you no matter what, and even if you're not you won't be fit to fight, so a realistic game would require storming the dungeon without taking any damage whatsoever.

DF Modding / Biblical Cherub and Ophan [PEACH]
« on: February 05, 2009, 12:33:28 am »Quote from: Ezekiel 1
6. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
8. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
10. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
It doesn't actually use the word 'cherub' in Ezekiel 1, but it does when it describes them again in Ezekial 10.

This is my first mod. It hasn't been tested. The joints are as you'd expect, and you can add them to antmen or whatever other four-armed humanoids you think should have joints. The four-armed flying humanoid is as you'd expect, except it only uses its first wings to fly, its hands are attached at the elbows, and it has four chunks of fat instead of three. I did the first because one pair of wings is described as covering its body, and thus clearly isn't used. The second because the hands are under the wings, not at the ends of them, and the third because there are four cherubim, each of which has four heads and four arms, so four seemed more fitting.Edit: I forgot to add ears to the faces.
Quote from: Ezekiel 1:
16. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.

[MUNDANE]That quote doesn't tell you much. Much of the design I copied from this picture. Also, it has 16 (four squared) eyes and spokes. In the picture, it looks like it has 40 eyes and 16 spokes.
Apparently, it's the color of beryl, but Ezekiel didn't say what kind of beryl, and it seems to come in every color.

I have developed a clean and efficient method of disposing of dwarfs with strange moods.
That being said, why don't you just build a new forge and get a new blacksmith to build the bars?
- If the tile directly under them has been dug out, build a wall there.
- Dig out the space directly above them and the four adjacent spaces if they haven't already been dug out.
- Channel the four tiles adjacent to the one above them.
- Floor over the space above their corpse.
- Deconstruct the wall built in step 1.
- Rebuild the workshop they claimed.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Trade Depot Execution
« on: December 05, 2008, 08:32:02 pm »If you do that, you don't kill them with water.Drain your magma pipe.I just drop the cistern.
Build a trade depot inside.
Refill the magma pipe.
Build a cistern above the depot.
Fill the cistern.
Wait for the Elves to come.
Empty the cistern.
This way you get to kill the elves with water, magma, cave-ins, and dropping them off of the edge of the world! Does anybody have anything else to add?
How do I add wild animals to the mix? I guess you could make the death area outside of the trade depot, and release the wild animals to scare the elves into the death area. Or you could use a wild gremlin to pull the lever that empties the cistern. Or just use a pressure plate and allow any animal to do it.Does anybody have anything else to add?
You missed killing them with wild animals, but don't worry, I got your back.

Lying? Our dwarves are all the same. Look at our entry:

Dwarf Fortress is essentially built around this trope. There's even a system in place to automatically generate dwarfy names.
- Dwarven children drink as much alcohol as their parents and those damn elves are always coming around to bug us about the stupid trees. What they don't know is that we cut those trees down just to spite them.

DF Suggestions / Re: Lighting arc discussion
« on: December 01, 2008, 08:48:36 pm »
I suggest only having fixed light sources. When a dwarf carries a torch, it would just mean that he wouldn't be effected by darkness. Realistically, other dwarfs should be able to see by his torch, but they'd be a fool to follow him into the darkness and risk getting lost. It's better this way.
