Who's murdering children?I meant in-game children. EVERYBODY IS!!! Maybe even YOU! Murderers...
THAT would suck...Stonefall traps are basically worthless --I call them stone-fail traps, due to the rumors of them doing NOTHING to even rabbits.they might deter some enemies (especially wild animals) or soften something up, butthey have no real stopping power.
That bad? I haven't bothered building them in ages, and just use a cage-based defense until my military is up to 10 or so with at least novice weapon skill. I think back when I did use them, they clobbered a snatcher once. Granted, that was TWENTY of them, and it may have been the dogs chained at the end that dealt with the goblin.
While massed cage traps really do trivialize matters, I absolve myself of using them for two reasons
1) use only light caging to soften up enemies and obtain PoWs for nefarious uses
2) Squads with a caged leader won't flee, and will in fact cluster around said leader. this can be lots of ‼fun‼ when they don't walk into whatever other bloody hell you had prepared for them and have to send out the problem solvers. double plus fun if it was a marksgoblin squad led by a melee guy and ONLY said melee gobbo got caged...
Really? Maybe it's not my age but myMaybe. Perhaps it's my intolerance for bright light in general.cavecomputer adaption that protects me from the pain others feel at microcline, then.
You lost your thread to flame on, don't try to get other threads locked, UristMcHuman.Bah, these people HONESTLY need to STOP posting about MURDERING CHILDREN. Sorry, I'm quite easy to anger IRL.

In other words, killing every dwarf that you don't think deserves to live. CHILDREN DESERVE TO LIVE.Answer to all of the above: The Necro910 Method.Nope. But nice try, though.I'll top that!For some reason I'm picturing seven dwarfers with various skillsets wheeling a cart laden with supplies out to a place in the middle of nowhere they were told has clay, shallow and deep metals and an underground river and starting to dig...
Soon after:
'The Mechanized titan Delta Force has arrived! An armored vehicle, filled with heavily armed soldiers! It has a heavy machine gun and advances quickly. Beware it's 20 mm cannon!'
The Atomic Bomb Fat Man has arrived! A great round metal ball. It is filled with atomic energy and a device that can split the atoms. Beware its deadly radiation!
But seriously, can we go until New Year's Day 2013 without posting about butchering puppies, killing nobles, and drowning migrants??
And especially, STOP POSTING ABOUT HEARTLESSLY MURDERING AND BUTCHERING BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Babies, both in DF and in the real world, are as equal as an adult. Take this: Would you like it if you had a kid and some stranger murdered and butchered him/her? And it's just because he said he/she "was a useless part of life and deserved to die". Would you like that?
I SWEAR TO ARMOK that I'm going to ask Toady to make babies/children impervious to ANYTHING POSSIBLE IN THE GAME until they reach adulthood.
OR, to ban you monsters from posting EVER AGAIN.
Does any of the above sound reasonable?
Chill, you take this too seriously..
Are you by any chance related to this guy?
You know what, fine. You do your own little baby-killing and macabre ways of using their bones as raw materials. You go and frolick off in your murderous ways of killing off the local (dwarven) population, and I'll sit here, watching you, no longer caring about what you do. Go ahead. And SEE IF YOUR DWARFS CARE. Your seemingly useless King can befriend the whole fort, and when you kill him, the whole fort will erupt in a tantrum spiral.
ABOUT EQUALITY: Take in effect the part of the Constitution Of The United States. It states that "We hold these Yruths to be self-evident, that all Men are created Equal..." "...born with certain inalienable Rights..." "... and that among these Rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness". Think. Men not only means in real life, but should mean in games like this, too. Just, think about it.
Side-note: Your dwarves have thoughts, you know. Killing their children or their noble spouses can lead to a VERY BAD THOUGHT in the mother/father/wife/husband. But you won't care, and then they'll start a fortress-killing tantrum spiral which you also won't care about.
Really fix'd.Purchased turtles yield no bones or shells. You need to butcher an animala babyto get bones for him.Fix'd

?Oh, and yes I do.Tell me, do you REALLY want to suggest this to us?I dunno, Malcador did have a point.Down with sociopathism!!! (sociopathic ways)
....
WE NEED TO UP THE SOCIOPATHIC DORF KILLIN
You guys are already evil enough with the already-evil goblins! Why be evil with your own kind?!?!?!
As a challenge to test your sociopathic ways IRL: Why not kill YOUR OWN KID, butchering him/her, and using his/her bones as crafting materials?
You should be killing babies, pets, and country rulers by now, "dwarf".
*Or whomever currently rules the country you're in right now.
Really?
