There is no steam in DF>
Sure there is. It's even dangerous like RL.

THat's not steam, that's deadly dust/magma mist (whatever it's called)

Just pump salt water through a screw pump into an artificial reservoir that has never touched salt water, and you will have fresh water that you can drink.


Not that you need to drink water, you filthy elf.

Hordes of wild boar corpses, the skin of butchered animals coming to life, and on this latest embark, vile soot that causes instant death. Luckily for me, I don't have undeath on this map.

I have something similar to a husk - a 'creeping gloom zombie', created by walking into a cloud of creeping gloom (in an otherwise non-zombieing map). They're ridiculously, insanely tough. Two of my dwarves were zombied and slaughtered about 50 others before I walled them off.

Here's where things get kind of interesting. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain that the bastards are healing. One of them was nearly dead (I presume - dark red and dark yellow on all parts of the body - yet still moving and still killing). Now, however, there's much less red. The detailed description shows a great deal of old scars which I doubt were there before.

They also don't behave quite as I'd normally think zombies would - for a long time it ran away from my military instead of fighting. Only when it got into the fortress did the indiscriminate slaughter of everything commence.

So, can anyone with dwarf husks/other weather-induced undead confirm the healing?

That is fascinating! I'll see if the mists on my map do anything similar by chucking a turkey out of the bridge-a-pult airlock.

Mogun are about 10% shorter than dwarves, and lack some of the dwarven precious technologies, but make up for it with their own ingenuity and blunt-force approach to things.

blunt-force approach to things.

dwarves

There's a huge difference between "blunt" and "Dwarfy".

Blunt implies doing the simplest thing imaginable to get the job done.

Dwarfy implies finding the most complicated way to get a job done, just because they can.

I recently embarked again in an evil area, and I get MASSIVE clouds of evil soot that regularly travel all the way across the map.

Nothing has gotten caught yet, but needless to say, I made a multi-door airlock as soon as I found out that it showed up.

Necromancer: "Apprentice, what do you supposed they're building this time?"

Apprentice: "Why are they making a drawbridge in the middle of that field? And why is that dwarf grabbing two shields and and a bunch of iron armor?"

Necromancer: "They're up to something and I just can't figure out what it is..."

I thought Strawberry Wine was stagnant water stained with Elf Blood?

Wait, what?

Brand new world.

But it's ok, the moment they attack my dwarves seem to know what to do...

You know, I was going to comment about the same thing.

I just noticed there's an engraving of a Dwarf on the crown.

It cannot be unseen.

1 miner died, the other proceeded to kill the rest of the uncaged attackers.


Miner militarys are just beyond epic.
