I am currently immersed in the image of dwarven veterans imbibing 'red beer' which makes them berserk and 3 times as fast if they've got 5+ kills while the entrance chokepoint is flooded with poison gas which only affects elves and goblins. Or heck, why not make the gas give superstrength to dwarves while making goblin muscle rot?

Yeah, while you can already do a selective-killing poison gas, adding in positive effect for dwarves certainly has an appeal.

So you are trading away the irreplenishable, extremely useful resource, which, incidentally, provides means to military superiority. If you used it properly, you would not have to rely on dogs to beat a FB.

I must go visit my legendary dining room before I slip to madness from the massive unhappy thought this gave me...

I dislike TES.
DF is much more pleasing to the eye than Morrowind. And I never went past Balmora anyway because of the horrible lag.

I think the best profession would be a vampire surgeon. No need to feed on the innoccent, just sip a few drops here and there when someone comes in missing a leg. I mean, who's going to know? You'll be covered in blood anyway, why not have a quick snack while you're there.

You ever played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

Exactly what I thought too.

...the elf going melancholy and the donkey going berserk. The donkey then killed my weaver. Now the donkey is chasing a giant moose around my map..

Now you will know why you fear the night ass demons.

Anybody else randomly play early versions of DF? What interesting things have you found? (Better yet, were any of you around for the first 3D version of the game? What did you think of having to build your freaking stairs down at the time?)

When 31.01 came out, I was like, "WTF? Ramps on channeling? Raaawr! Stupid ramps! Whyyyy?!"
No, I don't play 40d anymore... I used to, but got over it.
One thing I royally miss is the true full-time military/fortress guard. I just hate the way current militia turns off to civvy the moment you set them to inactive. Of course I can modify their profession titles to be able to pick them out, but they are still oddly-colored, ungrouped in the units list and behave like civilians if they see an enemy. Even if you tell them to keep armed while off-duty.

The other thing I miss is the chasms.
Hmmm... that gives me an idea for a community fortress...

They raped noserubbed you to death?
