I quite fancy being responsible for the many ballistae - siege engineer please...

thats kinda scary...

possibly a typoed GCS.

this is more less cool than werewolves inserting pig tail gloves into the brains of dwarves.

This is an attempt to make plump helmet farm gone horribly wrong. At first it was a 7x7 square. They were filled up to 3/7 almost instantly. Then i tried digging drainage channels. There were little effect (my dwarves becoming novice swimmers). I grossly underestimated the rain- on this embarkit rains 24/7, 7 days a weekthe whole year. I finally constructed floor above the lake, though with well-timed merchant caravans, black bear attacks and water freezing and unfreezing it took too long and expanded reservoir was full once more. Even when water at last was 1/7 it showed no sign of drying. Then there were more expansions of reservoir and now it seems plump helmet farm will be finished.

But the goddamn rain isn't stopping.

water locks. that is all.

Remember the 2 rules that many people follow...

1: If something is hard its not worth trying.

2: If you arent good at something straight away, then quit.

This is why there are so many games out there that are generic, formularic, derivative and ultimatley unfulfilling. Count how many first person shooters there are as a good example.

there is a mythbusters style thread (in general discussion i think) that would be interested in this - it seems that allowing your military regular clothes under thier armor seems to reduce the effectiveness of thier armor (as if the game assumes one layer being pierced means all of them must). when assigning uniforms, ensure you set it to be instead of clothes (replace) instead of over clothes... option is in the top bar of the assign uniform screen. i can confirm without much scientific rigour that nude + armor (i use a lot of bronze) suffer signifigantly fewer casualties than clothed and armored.

well, not so much "trying" as assuming if they wanted a big shiny great axe, they may forgoe the shield without my input...

thats really not that bad a looking injury - just a largeish cut. no guts are popping out, and no bits are missing. check the heath screen for that dwarf, and check the relvant info on any diagnosis, treatment or outstanding problems...

anyway, why wrestlers? even traning weapons would be better...
