DF Modding / Re: How might I make my dwarves into cannibals?

If you just wanted them edible, you might be able to make them out of plump helmet man tissue.

Since dorfs regard that as food.

I must admit the temptation to mine out square rooms to fit things in is overwhelming at times, but I've resisted so far! I know it's a highly disorganized and inefficient way to build a fort, but it had a reason and the inefficiency is greatly overshadowed by the fun.

I haven't met a dragon in any of my DF games... I'm kind of scared to. >.>

Don't be. They're the weakest of megabeasts by far. Their only dangerous quality is their firebreath, as,w ell, dogs can take them out. Not sure if the dog biting the dragon in half in the best embark ever thread was a fluke or not though. Or rather, how big of a fluke it was.

"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the wagon as it fell was 'Oh no, not again.' Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the wagon had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now."

That.... that right there is win. Pure, absolute win. So the wagon for every embark is the same wagon, reincarnated by Armok simply to illustrate the futility of trying to branch out from the mountainhomes?

Really, it's more like the happy fun box that Armok sends to entice perfectly normal dwarfs away from home and reprogram them to his whims before releasing them into the wild.

As for siege weapons... last I'd heard, a metal-tipped balista bolt lightly bruised a dog.

What about a

slade
catapult stone?

I didn't think you could get that in fortress mode at all. ...And if you have it, you're clearly capable of far more deviousness than I. Since what you have to kill to get it is generally worse in terms of unkillability, isn't it?

what is it that makes PHM so interesting? I've yet to see any other sort of -men thread like this one. I am playing advocate of the HFS though, I've always loved the idea of mushroom-folk.
Imagine if Americans found a sentient race that was made out of cheeseburgers.

Sweet. I just stumbled upon the thread and read it start to finish. Haven't yet watched all the videos, but I think I'll get around to it.

Though I'm now feeling the need to see about playing a version on my mac...

I have weak willpower.

Then you have more problems than her logging onto your email and facebook.

Like, your personality needing to be restructured.

and what it means for the potential for any future relationship you're in to be stable/healthy.

I mean, if you're that easily cowed and controlled, what's to keep the desire for optimal genes from you ending up the chump raising some other guy's kid?
