The witch goes to the cottage to give Snow White the poisoned apple, walks up to the front door, and steps onto a weapons trap that has ten masterwork steel serrated blades. The dwarves spend the next week picking up pieces of her in their front yard.
You forgot the magma!

I wonder if heaver animals trample the grass more, and that is part of the problem?

That's an intriguing possibility. I nominate Science be done!

Search the forums, the science has been done already. There has been a few threads on the grazer issues. TLDR; goats or sheep provide the best ratio of meat/stuff to grass eaten, at least until Toady re-balances grazing so elephants can eat faster than they starve.
That's sad. Do wild critters need to graze? If so, cheap-and-easy elephant meat!
If not, meh.

DF Modding / Re: .20--unusual egg laying
« on: March 15, 2011, 06:33:34 am »
In theory, you should be able to mod an animal to lay anything on there.  I've only tried stones, bars, and anvils so far.  I see that EGG is actually an item token after all, so maybe you can mod cats to lay dragon eggs, but I really doubt they'll hatch.
What about modding cats or whatever to lay DWARF eggs?

So, either make the bunny made of chocolate instead of skin, or make a custom plant type (plant would be easiest) that doesn't grow anywhere and doesn't have seeds (but chocolate booze might be fun!).
Cacao bean trees!


This is almost making me want to go to the new edition! I think I'll wait for more of the caravan arc, though.

DF Modding / Re: Strangest, Wierdest thing you ever modded into DF

-Modded bones and skulls to be turned into furniture. Skulls thrones and bone pillars for real now!
HOW?!?
It sounds awesome! And useful!

Dear Ezum Gillcraft,
Mrs. Gillcraft, I understand you are "socially crippled by thoughts that everyone is watching and judging" you, and that you "dislike contracts and regulations." However, the fact that you "prefer that others handle the leadership roles" plus a minor amount of brain activity would indicate that it is a bad idea to form a grudge against the expedition leader/bookkeeper/broker/future sheriff/butcher/leatherworker and the militia commander/woodcutter. Both of them can make your life very unpleasant.
EDIT2: And when you are on break, do NOT, repeat NOT, go into the bedroom of the aforementioned expedition leader.

EDIT:
Dear Ushat Snarlingdyes:
Please do not fall asleep in the mining tunnels until you dig out a route to the surface. My bad that the way was cut off, but still...

EDIT3:
A note to all woodcutters in all universes:
You may have ranks in axedwarf. Whether or not this is so, your battleaxes are useful for more than killing trees-they kill monkies, too!

Here's the raws, if you're interested:
I am. Do you have a non-download version?
Also, what happens when a bronze colossus punches you in the anger and it goes flying off in an arc?

This has already been said, but it can't be said enough.
AWESOME.

Age and skill will beat youth and treachery every time.
Steel isn't much better than treachery.
DF is cinematic.
In cinematic media, age doesn't matter.
Therefore, in DF, age doesn't matter.
Therefore, skill will beat steel every time.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Egg-Thief ... literally

About the title: A literal egg thief steals eggs. This is...not that.
It is still cool, though.

DF General Discussion / Re: DF to DnD
« on: March 14, 2011, 06:28:46 am »
As a D&D player who also likes DF, this sounds like a great idea.
If anyone makes a program like this, let me know...I've been thinking of having my players visit a fortress with a slow-working water-logic calculator or something.

Dear Urists McMiners:
Use the nice silver picks I just made so that Urist McDraftedMechanic can make a mechanism so that someone can assemble the other silver parts into a well so that no one has to die.
Sincerely,
GreatWyrmGold.
PS: Sorry about only embarking with only 7 drinks in what turned out to be a saltwater biome.

55152
Also inform Urist McMiner that her death has permanently made sure we can not breach the aquifer, and that I will execute her as soon as she dares to stand up.
So...You're executing your miner for dying?

Channel above the area and tell civilian dwarves to stay inside.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What do I do with all these rocks?!
« on: March 13, 2011, 10:24:19 am »
Mechanisms. Lots and lots of mechanisms.
Or statues.
Or furniture for your dwarves' bedrooms.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: The king is dead. Long live the...?
« on: March 11, 2011, 10:35:24 pm »
My royalty seems to have died out as well. Such a sad state my civ is in. I checked the legends and sure enough they kicked a few goblin asses, but they got theirs handed to them by elves. Often multiple times in a row elves sacked the same dwarven cities. Must have been a new king/queen elected every year or so.
Are you sure they were dwarves and not mutant or undercover elves?
