It only takes one, and once the economic benefits of DF are realised there will be way more than one...

But that would flood the market, driving the prices down to nil...
Maybe give me minions instead? I'm more interested in minions/test subjects than metal.

That's hilarious. Next version, they'll leave cerebellum marks in the ground, too.

Long, sharp teeth and/or magic.

DF Suggestions / Re: Mercenaries & Inter-racial employees
« on: November 04, 2012, 08:45:44 pm »It's different in DF. All sentients are sentient. They're all pretty much equally so. Differences seem to be more cultural than physiological.No, you didn't. I was confused because you just didn't address the stuff about them being machine-like at all. I suppose the biggest question is just how sentient antmen really are.It all depends on this. Not all creatures can learn everything. You can learn a gorilla sign language, but so far they have only managed to repeat, not to form their own sentences.

As for frogmen being good fishers. Frogmen are obviously, a semi aquatic animal folk. As such, they will always be found around rivers and swamps. One usefull food source near rivers is fish, and considering their affinity with water, it's logical they will exploit it, and on general be better fishers than dwarves, who panick when they stand in kneedeep water.Technically, it's closer to chest-deep water...and that's a cultural difference, which I agree with, not an unexplained inherent difference, which I don't.

DF Suggestions / Re: Heads are too fragile
« on: November 04, 2012, 08:42:42 pm »In the raws, the brain has a relsize of 200, much larger than the skull (20). That's probably why there's all this brain jamming. However, the raws also say this is temporary until hollowness is implemented.Actually, they always go for the head once the opponent is unconscious. Although they will keep wrestling with other parts if they grabbed those parts beforehand...
Also, if someone is unconscious with mortal wounds in a battle, their attacker should assume they're dead, or finish them off with one quick blow. Right now, they seem to gradually break every bone in their body, or methodically disembowel and dismember them like some sort of psychopath.

I think it would make more sense to just have catapults loadable with any object.

DF Suggestions / Re: Fell moods give legendary medical skill
« on: November 04, 2012, 08:35:34 pm »Dev pages. Maybe one of the FotF posts mentioned it, too.Having your dwarves be Frankendwarf is planned.
Delicious. Where did you read that? was it a three-toe story?
Considering what fell dwarves do, wouldn't they get butchery or bone carving? Or at the most, a few levels in surgery? Certainly not unquestionable medical talents.Depends. If they're hewing their corpse (the corpse they "own") into an item, sure. If they're shaping the still-living body into a new tool like I suggested a while back...
