Urist Mcminer:  its a good thing I know aquafers don't stretch over whole regions indiscriminantly, and even uf onw where to happen to a thousand years of coping with them let's us dwarfs nerf or circumvent them easily.

Player: It's so hard to figure out who to put in the miliatry -- all these migrants are so useful.  It would be a sacrifice to lose a single novice beekeeper/soapmaker/rock carver/etc.,.  (said in absolute sincerity)

Through the forge of war are heroes crafted...

and one thing df has absolutely, completely realistic is its tendency to encourage the player to draft peasents to fill the numbers...  we do this even today, accepting Johnny McFatfuck in hopes of molding him into a cost efficent expendable.

heavy things+good aim=gibs abound.

every so often you hear about some sicko stashing his kills in a coffin and chucking it at foes, or going bta on elves with a stone slab.  Even hear stories of willies and toungues being used as demented ninja stars...

If you can move through a berry bush, why not a tree?  Its <just> a bigger bush...

Why doesn't 'history' proper continue as you are playing a fort?  10 years and nothing happened that wasn't connected to your fort?

Why are dwarven nobles so dumb that they don't even exert all of the power that, say, the King of All Dwarvenkind should exert?

And consort with a common outpost overseer?

I have a.mountain hall listed as a neighbor n the embark screen.  How do I uncover its name?

Urist McArmoredBearRider - "FOR ARMOK! WE RIDE TO VICTORY!!"

humans ride horses, goblins ride cavern beasts, elves ride good creatures, dwarves RIDE WAR BEARS WITH ADDY ARMOR!

Russian dwarves?  No!  communist dwarfs!  Not too far off the mark...

They eat their young, because in the 1050 years it takes for dwarves to make it undrground they grow famished...

Why doesn't the king tell the fortress overseer what to do with complete authority?

-Many enemies are war vetrans, meaning they have survived and lvled up their combat skills.  They will lope off a novice's head no problem.

-Throwing rocks is about the best thing ever, esp. against humanoids.  Cracking a skull or fracturing a leg is a huge help.  Sharpen them by holding one (or many) in each hand, pressing X and selecting the appropriate option.

Put him in charge of the kingdom.  Dwarf experience a sort of reverse intoxication.  Alcohol speeds up their metabolism, rejuvenating them and increasing cognitive function.  Same as how I feel when I drink...

Where are the airships?

The quality is pisspoor, and those shrieking women do not help...  Song is a good one though 7/10.

This should be the Navy's theme song... I may have reenlisted if it was.
