DF General Discussion / Re: what is more dwarfy?

IIRC; the 13 dwarves in Tolkein's The Hobbit actually used an assortment of knives, swords, and bows.  Not a single mention of either axes or hammers
Actually, they used a lot of weapons. In the movie at least, and I'm far too lazy to check the book.

Now that's just awesome. :D
Bonus points for stock ASCII. Not some ugly tileset.
Agreed, on both points.

Wow, a three way voting battle. People, cast your ballots! This means war!
Dust off your alternate accounts! Cheat to win!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Exploits and honor

Honor is for elves.
Are... Are you... This is blasphemy! What are you, some kind of kobold!? ELVES, HAVING HONOR, AND DWARVES NOT!?!?

Actually, considering the behavior of hammerers, Counts/countesses, brokers being met with steel-clad psychopaths... doublestrafe may be on to something, here.
Hmmm... You may have a point... However, I always play with honor, especially if some diplomat... insults my courage/bravery, and therefore must be executed, to uphold my honor.
Sure, the game might not tell you when the diplomats are insulting you, but I know that they are...

Wait. Annoyed by microcline? Microcline is awesome! It's like, almost adamantine, except the only common trait is color! Therefore, they are basically the same thing.
Anyways, this was weird because I was looking at the Warhammer 40k Wikipedia page, and then I thought, "I think I'll check what's happening on the DF forums", and the first topic I opened was this one.

The controls do exactly what you expect them to at all times if you know what they do.
Well, can't argue against that...

I'm casting my vote for Bralbaard.

Mooses (meese?) are freaking scary! Even the non-forgotten beast kind are deadly. 620 pounds of antlered monster charging at 55 km/h... I wouldn't imagine that's anyone's idea of fun.

Actually, on second thought, that's probably everyone's idea of fun, on the dwarf fortress forums.

We have like 50 and only two dead dwarfs.  The military just slaughtered all of the ratmen with no casualties or serious injuries.  By the way, where is the hospital?
There isn't one. I was more worried about getting housing going, rather than a hospital, because if necessary, a bedroom can serve as both. I would definitely suggest making one quickly though.

Yeah, it's too big for DFFD, if the size of the last save says anything.
Oh that's why.
EDIT: lol it's 107 Mb.

OOC: Oh well, it was breached with only one lost life. Not too much of an inconvenience.
~~~~~~~~
Unknown to me, we had no farms, so I had to cook a bunch of seeds into biscuits to save our lives. Then, we ran out of beer. *facepalm*. Fortunately, all is well now, with no loss of life due to hunger or thirst.
Our leatherworker had a strange mood, and he made a backpack out of cow leather. At least we have a legendary leatherworker now.
The dwarven trade caravan came, and we sold many of our crossbows, along with the near useless wooden crafts, for a bunch of leather and some more anvils.
We have created a very sketchy wooden wall; it will be next to useless against archers. If I cannot finish the rest of it by the end of my reign, I highly encourage the next overseer to complete the construction.
We ran out of ores, so I designated a large area for mining. A warning to the next overseer: placement of rooms near the caverns has left us vulnerable to attack from flying Forgotten Beasts. Be wary!
With this, my reign is ended. May the fortress prosper in the reign of its next leader.

DFFD is being very slow, so the save probably won't be up 'til tomorrow.

What? You mean Australia isn't completely populated by criminals? Who'da thought?! Next you'll be telling me that us Canadians don't drink straight up maple syrup, all live in igloos, and ride polar bears through the streets!
