« on: April 16, 2009, 04:06:17 pm »In adventure mode I killed a named Giant Eagle.yeah... most weapons tend to become blood crust clubs after a few days use.
One-in-a-million-moment:
the murder weapon was a short sword I traded for at a local town. Engraved in jewels was an engraving of the same Giant Eagle earning its name. Wouldn't even notice if I didn't have the habit of admiring multiple pages of multi-species blood on equipment.

« on: April 16, 2009, 10:30:08 am »Me tooI once had a siege, that ended with the first ballista arrow i fired, it took out their leaders eye, leaving him unharmed apart from losing his left eye. He freaked and ran, everyone in the siege followed him.
I'm picturing a goblin running around with a HUGE LOG SIZED ARROW sticking out of his eye, completely unsupported... it's hilarious!
.also, he came back a few years later.... again catching a ballista arrow... this time losing his other eye, and his head, and most of his upper body... the arrow flew onward exploding most of his squad. and, less fortunate, one of my champions.

« on: April 15, 2009, 03:09:17 pm »According to the stats, that paticular dwarven child could take on a goblin wrestler...And win easily ( if you could draft in children, There's a thought...) What a sight, a goblin wrestler being pinned down by a child and having its bones broken one by one. And probably convince the goblin it's a "massage".*CRRRRACK* ohh yeah... thats the spot... *CRUNCH* ohhh.... im so relaxed now i can bend my arm the other way

« on: April 15, 2009, 02:58:43 pm »Let me tell you: Never give your champions artifact weapons. They will spar with them, and tear your military apart. I mean, my champion cut one guy clean in half, and removed two arms, and a leg from a military before I stopped him.That dwarf IS your military! also, let him rip up every new unwanted immigrant for practice.

yes, magma powers forges indefinitely.
no, the economy does not do anything useful for you.
no, there is no way to sell artifacts, they do however make everybody very happy.
