Nope. Not as far as I know, though I hope to be proven wrong.

Nope. The buff that war animals get is a hardcoded doubling (I think) of their attack ratings.

Dump some booze onto him from the level above, designate a booze stockpile over him (after deconstructing the bed) and unforbid the booze?

The Distracting Truth of Anvils... What a nice name. Does anyone else get the mental image of anvils dropping on people's heads?

Oh, so that's why magma doesn't spawn on constructions the the magma pipe. Hm. It shouldn't be too tough to remove those choke points with some careful digging and caveins...

Give us a picture, if you would? (In case you don't know how... Press printscreen on your keyboard, above the arrow keys, go to paint or some other convenient image editing program, press ctrl+v. Save it upload it somewhere, post us a link.)

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: How do objects move during bridge flinging or water displacement?
« on: November 18, 2009, 12:52:06 am »
Woot, someone else posting that topic. Anyway,
1) Not sure. Shouldn't think water gets thrown, though.
2) Waterwheels can't move water, sadly. Pumps can create flow, but only, as you said, by changing the watershed.
3) Interesting question. Now, I'm not exactly sure how much flow a grate provides, but it's no more or less than unimpeded vertical flow. As such, a single grate is insufficient to drain a pump; pumps are frighteningly efficient in DF, and will cause water to spill everywhere unless carefully contained. This applies for any other water invoking Kanddak's second law of DF hydrodynamics. (The teleport rule.)
4) Little, I'm afraid. But we have assurance that it is known to Toady One.
5) As long Kanddak's first law holds true for that body of water, it will push the item.
6) Yes, yes and no if by 'lowered' floodgate means retracted. (See the answer to Q5.)

Because kitten bombs are inherently funnier. 
Noble bombs may be funner, but kitteh bombs are funnier. Admittedly I can't see a reason why not both, other than that kittens are easier.
