Recently, I had one of my lumberjacks (curiously) go into a fey mood for bones. However, having just used up all of it for crafts, I had four choices:

1. Grave-robbing from my tombs.
2. Kill wildlife, which would interrupt/damage my plans for an eventual wildlife preserve to counter extinction.
3. Kill my current trophies-in-waiting, two caged wild elephants.
4. Drop a stone cieling on the elven traders and harvest from their donkeys.

After the first option failed, the choice was pretty clear.

How many more times can I do this before war starts?

As far as I know, elves will never war with you. At least I have never gotten them to, and I have slaughtered elves by the dozens. Eventually they just stopped coming.

Destroy all the trees in the area, and place the logs around the trade depot, all the while, you trap them in there, as you unload a ton of water to blast them into an arena, with animals being viciously slaughtered, as they are helpless to save them because they can't shoot through windows.

That plan will hit all the anger points of the said "oriental" "DRUIDIC" entities, and if you want them to war with you, let them leave after the animals die, and use a water cannon to free them.

wow, thats a good story. btw, by "rationing" do you mean "give food to some dwarves, and lock all the rest in a room to die"?

Or use the patented "Dwarf DESTROYER Lever"*, it is made with the finest killing mechanisms to ensure a painful death, that destroys all the remains of the dwarf, and sweeps it away in the patented "Hydro-Ejection System" to make sure there is nothing left.

*Needs to have the lever on a level higher than the DOOM LEVEL, so that those pesky Nobles shan't be seen again.**

**We mean use a drop mechanism, they pull it, then they fall, then they die.

Bridges as floodgates!

I dare say, what about the crushing effect; Wall Grates.

If we want realism, we're going to need some sweet mine carts that takes mined rock somewhere.

All games need to have a sufficient level of unrealism.  It's what lets a 20th level D&D character move faster than the speed of light.  Yes, it's not real, but no one wants the rules changed because it's too fucking awesome.

If we add "rock realism" are you going to support the removal of the water-wheel-and-pump-perpetual-motion-machine?

erm, yes?

also, it's not awesome, it's an unfortunate consequense of a broken rules set.

I found a way to bypass this, pumps, pump make uber amounts of flow, and bam, you get a perpetual plant.

Realism chops your chops.
So Urist's Moving Castle is possible, and you need be an retard not know that if you know how to make sauna, you're peoples should expect steam power, but not really developed.

Coke is good for a reserve smithing grounds, who knows when Urist/Megabeast gets in there.

I don't really know how to use them, they hold stacks of things.

Eh? Dwarves love to wear anything, that's why we forbid it, so they drop it, then you reclaim it, then you send it to the Depot.

Minting coins is good for somethings, like trading for expensive things, if you encrust it with rare gems, you just got a buy ticket.

Meh, the game naturally runs out of nearby baddies.

The f'tarded Dwarves are really bad at changing clothes, I recommend 'Unit View > Inv > *Select Object* >  *Select Dump* ' then he dumps it, and without any choice, he gets something new.

It's simple to not allow them to bitch about their leechery, make an executionary lever, you decide how they die, a fall, or a drownery, or an ejection system filled with massive pressure towers ( from the lowest z, to the highest z ) , maybe a sacrificial arena duel.

Society will be happy if you kill any nobles, excluding the positions that don't invest in economic leechery.

I support the Nobles for Exuction prop ( N4E_Prop)

What about the sources of magic.

• Through a medium ( eg. orifice of a temple )
• Free mana ( eg. This tropical Jungle is flowing with rivers of free mana )
• Stored Mana ( eg. This race can only use magic if there is immediately access to magic, like a manastone )
• Willpower and Mental Strength ( eg. Through mental training, you can cause an effect by focus and concentration )
• Other...
