Obsidianising them's still more consistent. Plus it's fun.

No--your spleen, stomach, pancreas and kidneys are all in your lower body.
You'd be surprised at just how high up your liver is
Just... fuck it.

Oh, I came back just to say a few more things I forgot:
>KATANA BEST ASSAULT RIFLE
>TRIGGER DISCIPLINE
>DEAGLE BRAND DEAGLE THAT SHOOTS DEAGLES
I think that's all of them. If I missed any /k/ memes, then I'm sorry.

Yeah, outside of manually keeping track, you're out of luck. You should change their surnames to make things easier. I really don't understand why dwarves don't take their spouse's/parents' surnames upon marriage.

Will you make candy blocks? Why not use candy blocks? What about statues? Will there be statues? Will you make an inverse pyramid that spans underground as well? Boxers or briefs? What do you think is the best solution to combat corruption in third world and developing countries? Is the European recession an indication of a coming second Depression? And lastly, are you peeved off because of NRDL's nosy questioning?

Except Athena's main thing was wisdom and not necessarily war, unlike Ares, who was straight up Laconian in his stride. And fine, Cronos was an elder god. He still doesn't have any conflict with Hades, since he was either imprisoned, somewhere else entirely or doing something completely different, depending on who you ask.
I see your point though. Since Death or Fire is such a broad topic, we could get a lot of gods handling different aspects. God A could be the god of oxygen atoms, god B the god of ignition, god C the god of hydrogen, god D the god of combustion and god C the god of flashpoints, for (an extremely ridiculous) example. I think, however, to keep things simple we should just stick to one god per topic. Imagine if you had seven gods for seven aspects of warfare. Imagine how annoying conducting war would be.

Isn't that how our current system works? If you don't like to die with a blow to the head, you can bleed to death, suffocate, get shot, drown, and so on and so on. You keep on seeing headshots because that's the quickest way to die in DF.

DF Suggestions / Re: Deities
« on: June 06, 2012, 09:41:31 pm »Hades was a god, not the god of death, but more technically the god of the Underworld. I'll give you this one.QuoteThere should only be one type of each deity, if possible
In Greek Mythology there was Hades, Cronos (who later took control of the Elesium fields), and Death (who I forgot the name of).
And those arn't all the "death sphere" gods in greek mythology but it gives you the idea of multiple gods of the same type. Though a more well known combination would be Ares and Athena who are both gods of war.
Cronos was a titan, and he was usually either still imprisoned in Tartarus (you can think of this as Hell), ruler of Elysium (Heaven) or King of the Cyclops.
Thanatos was the demon personification of death, think of him as the Grim Reaper.
As for Ares and Athena, while they might be both gods of war, Ares focused on the actual warfare aspects while Athena was more of a god of wisdom and intelligence, which included military strategy and not being dumb enough to do dumb shit during wartime.
My point is, gods don't really conflict themselves. There might be two gods in one pantheon who are both "gods of X" but only in the most general sense, if you go to the specifics you'll see that they're not the same at all.
On the topic of the Egyptians and their many sun gods: I don't really know a lot about Egyptian mythology, but I would assume that the case is the same as the Greeks, or they worshiped different sun gods at different eras (like, Ra back in 1000BC then he went out of style and people worshiped Bast instead, that thing).
I like OP's idea. We really should do more with religion. I'd like to see monotheistic cults too, since that's actually a thing (i.e. Christianity is a thing).

Do you have a jail? In my forts, nothing happens if I don't have a jail. Once I make one, then suddenly everybody's Dostoevsky.
