*cue something similar to start of this one, start up requiem for a dream or some such tune*
dwarves digging into mountain, usual things with farm and such, fortress gets bigger
(as music builds up bit more, dwarves hit the chasm)
*cut to those scenes of moria in fellowship of the ring, with the bucket falling down into that huge cavern*
(unwitting dwarves get owned by passing elephants, as music builds up a bit more)
*goblins show up and ambush the human caravan, maybe a scene straight out of dow with tacs ripping the snot out of some grot squads, complete with force commander batting them outta the way *
(final scene starts up, cue montage-y type scene)
-the mark of chaos intro - that bit where the elves gatecrash the chaos battle, running in firing arrows everywhere and killing everyone
-more scenes from lotr, this time with oliphants running down the rohirrim, and goblins swarming in with the balrog to dispatch the dwarves
-(final bit of tune with that dun dun dundunDUNDUN bit), legolas sliding off the oliphant's trunk *fade out*
*fade in* gimli: still only counts as one....
eh, I needed to put more into it, but you get the idea :p
IT"S THE FINAL COUNT-DOOWWWNNN...
EDIT: dododoo-doo, dodo doo-doo-doo, dododoo-doo, dodo doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo...

That and the 1st-gen essence engine (as opposed to the 2nd-gen one in CoH) woulda sold a lot of people, being able to actually see your characters battle up-close as opposed to, say, almost every other strategy game bar dungeon keeper and a couple other possible exceptions*, seeing the FC/Bloodthirster sync-kill was always fun to watch
g Kill the goblin
Drown the noble
E BURN THE ELEPHANT
ok, so it doesn't tint colours but you get what I mean

But then they'd get paid for just standing around changing clothes all the time

*cue fade in of law-and-order: svu logo*
In the dwarven justice system, some crimes are considered especially heinous, and are of the highest order of punishment to the perpetrators. These are their stories *koo-koooooohh*

CROSSbow.</STRONG>
but crossbow doesn't fit into the lines that the heavy has. It's a poetic licence used as a single-syllable word like bow gets the message across (of what it is) and rolls off the tounge better.
It weigh 150[dwarven weight symbol here] and fires 150 dwarfbuck custom-carved bolts at 10,000 bolts a minute. It cost 300,000 dwarfbuck, to fire this weapon, for twelve second.
[insert lolz here]
*picks up xbow, finds engraving on it by melbil mesbethsodel of dwarves and goblins fighting*
oh armok who touched urist...*looks up* WHO TOUCHED MY BOW?!
Some goblins think they can outsmart me. Maybe, *sniff* maybe. But I have yet to meet goblin who can outsmart BOLT...
*cue heavydwarf gunning down gobbos by the dozen*
BoooAAAHHHH HOOOOAAAAAHHHH!!! AAAHHAHAHAAHAA CAN I HAVE SOME MORE!
no really, I ran out of bolts they only came in stacks of 25

dwarves seem to be scientologists, they don't practice the evil pseudo-science of this "psychology" claptrap :roll:
