To be fair, exploiting the followers is pretty much part of the definition of a "cult".To be fair I think christianity is...
NO RILDER STOP IT, DON'T START IT DON'T.. JUST DON'T...
There's a good book: The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene.
Don't look at it as a 'guide to pick up chicks'. It's a nice read, with a lot of interesting stories, meant more for the intelligent types of people. If you guys enjoy arguing with people on forums and making up theories about how to seduce people, I'm sure you'd enjoy the book
So we can bribe a farmer to get the secrets from a high goverment official?
I know a few filipino farmers.
Maybe thats why when I left one of them stole my rooster.
So where are janitors?
I've raided a few dragon hoards. I found a few socks, some bones, a cup or two and a left arm. Magical.Dragons gathering magical artifacts would give us a reason to kill the bloody things. As is they're not much of a challange and they don't give us jack when we beat them.You read a lot about dragons hoarding items in the legends pages but never anything useful
Well anyway I believe the question has been answered, as well as the unasked question of "Burial or Cremation?"
so it doesn't strike you as odd that a HUMAN ate a demon? Elves do that kind of thing
Well, did you kill the goblin rulers?
When that happens, no more gobbos (from what I remember)
Hmm... That is a possibility, do they ever come with a siege or squad? And if so, how would I go about subduing them without killing them? If I cage them do I still get to experience sieges and ambush squads? It's not like I want them to stop ENTIRELY, I would just like to be adequately prepared before facing 6 ambush squads each possessing 10 goblins.
When your fortress is wealthy enough and has repelled a load of sieges, the local leaders will show up, and eventually the goblin king (who will sometimes be a dwarf, apparently). As far as I remember they do retreat when wounded or if you pulverize their forces, but it's really hard to prevent the local leaders from dying.
Also they tend to be Elite Marksgoblins/Swordmasters/Hammerlords, so if you intentionally allow them to survive, you're risking losing a load of dwarves (at least until you have champions).
What if I put them in a cage or lock them in a jail? Would there still be sieges and ambush squads then?
I recall someone having a dwarf with no throat survive, which certainly tops this.
Well... This one will probably die, but if it DID live, I would have to disagree with you...

The other creature is now dead, and wasn't considered important, so got culled from the logs to save on memory or somesuch.
