DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Inadvertently tamed Giant Olm
« on: June 20, 2015, 09:35:16 pm »
So I was looking through my units list when I noticed that there was a named Giant Olm. I zoomed to him and he was in the middle of my fortress and no one was attacking him or running from him. I was confused so I examined him and



He's able to walk right past my militia and they won't attack him either. I guess he got so terrified that he joined the fortress? Despite being overcome by fear he continues to wander around my fortress

You could theoretically seal a werecreature/vampire in the chamber with the reset switch

My mayor has refused to meat with the liason for the past 6 months despite having no labors enabled. So I'm going to launch him across the map with a bridgeapult and hope his successor shows more competence.

They still haven't found the mayor I think I might have flung him off the map

Yeah I've noticed that instead of running from combat certain civilians will rush into battle. This is not a smart thing when dealing with werebadgers so I've had to wall in one of my hunters



Also I noticed that aforementioned Militia commander had lost two children to werebadgers.

Doesn't explain why he brained the random engraver and the former militia commander though

So my militia was out killing a child who turned into a werebadger when suddenly he bashes one of his captains through the skull with his hammer. Then he kills an engraver in the same fashion. After examining him it turns out he was responsible for the death of my last militia commander under similar circumstances.




Anyone else experience something like this?


edit:

Oh god I just realized that one of his children was the werebadger the militia captain had killed. Maybe it was an act of vengeance? Although that still doesn't explain why he killed the previous militia commander or the engraver

My first experience with fun was the time the goblins came with over 100 cave dragons

So my hunter saw one of his friends get killed by a wereiguana. The wereiguana turned back into an elf and promptly got his head cut off by my hunter in an apparent act of vengeance.


Now he keeps canceling tasks because he's too horrified.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Giant burning zombie sperm whale causes corpses to explode.

I sent a group of four elephants after it and two of them exploded in such a way that their companions started to both melt and get caught in boiling elephant blood before they reached the !!zombie giant sperm whale!!

Any blood this thing walks over instantly explodes into boiling blood. the tiles it lingers on for more then a few moments are hot enough to cause smaller creatures to combust from stepping on them.



I wonder what would happen if this thing walked on a glacier....

Further notes:


The boiling blood of the last dwarf that got lit on fire by the sperm whale cause a cougar to asphyxiate.



Update.


I tested a theory I had by letting the burning zombie whale kill an ettin. The ettin corpse caught fire and I moved the sperm whale away.

Then I spawned in an elf and kept it next to the ettin corpse. The elf started to melt from being moderately close to the ettin. The elf died and his corpse caught on fire and exploded, however the ettin is still burning. The effect seems to depend on creature size; smaller creatures explode much faster while larger creatures burn for a long time and then explode. It's like an FB syndrome that causes creatures to burst into flames and then explode!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Giant burning zombie sperm whale causes corpses to explode.
« on: May 03, 2014, 07:08:20 pm »
So I was testing to see how long a sperm whale zombie takes to burn to death and I noticed something.

Any creature that engages the !!sperm whale!!  ends up catching on fire and then promptly exploding a few turns later....


So my first question is... How can this be weaponized? From what I've seen it could be useful for getting rid of goblins as it causes the corpse to explode but leaves metal behind.

What version are you using?

6.4
Quote from: MarcAFK on February 18, 2014, 01:21:31 am
Because they know your AMM's only go 19,000 km/s ? :P


Close actually, my AMM's were going 20000. Which means that maybe one in 6 was getting intercepted.

Why do precursors insist on using giant salvos of size 6 ASM's going 40km/s?

Why......

Why do we assume that we can't use both this AND danger rooms to make the perfect dwarf?

Use the Danger room to increase attributes and as a right of passage use the spear fall to massively increase their already legendary weapons skill.
