Forum Guidelines
I'd like to join as a male warrior of some kind, preferably a reckless one. A macedwarf or somesuch, trained in both unarmed and his beloved goblin-crusher would be great. Just call him Krash, sounds dwarven enough.
Looking forward to the next update!

Also, an interesting note: The Obin I'm basing this story off of got pierced through as soon as he jumped down there. But fear not all you reading(yes, both of you), I will make a new Hammerman at the same town with the same name. The epic tale of Obin Hipfist shall not end here.
Hehe, this might happen more than once so some savescumming might be in order. Anyway, nice little tale.

My idea of fun is chopping off someones arm and beating them to death with it, bonus points if they're a small child or elderly.
Were still talking about df, right? Right?

You do also have to remember that bows are generaly very powerful and most are designed to kill in one shot. I like the bows the way they are now because I think its more relistic than say Oblivion where I can have an arrow sticking out of someones eye and they run to go tell the gards.
Even in medieval times, most arrows (even bodkin arrows fired by longbows) were unable to pierce plate armor (unless you got an incredibly lucky hit, which you get if you fire thousands of 'em). This is why later medieval knights often didn't even wear shields (or very small ones).
There are records of crusaders fighting muslims, looking like a porcupine from all the arrows lodged in their clothing. And yet, most of them weren't badly wounded. Also, a wound from an arrow is often not enough to completely stop someone if it doesnt hit a critical spot. The bleeding and/or infection is pretty nasty in the long run though.
And Oblivion is the antithesis of realistic combat.

I still think it's overkill though, for every goblin bowman and his mother to be able to run an arrow through a fully armored legendary dwarf's heart with one single shot. I'm serious, I've had this happen like five times. They always pierce the damn heart.
Them kobolds are nasty. I mostly avoid them.

hey guys, i realise this wont go down well as i dont post often, and am a relative nOOb, but maybe instead of calling him a liar,fake, scallywag, entertain the idea that maybe he made an honest mistake?
A voice of reason? Not in my forum you don't!
(I agree 100%)

after reading that JFK post, I had to look up the assassination, that really was a crazy bullet. The one thing I"m confused about, is if it was fired from the book depository, how did it go in his back and out his neck? That would've required... MRS. KENNEDY!!!!!!!
This has only been debunked/explained about a trillion times allready. Shame on you! :p

BTW, could you post the seed and location of your fort? The location looks pretty damn nice.

Oh, and are there any major bugs I should know about?
There's a bug right now that makes traps target merchants, liaisons and the like. But it's fixed for the next version. Other than that? Dunno.
War is just a way for them to relieve population pressure!
