No worries - this is the place to ask this stuff.  Just be prepared for people to answer the HELL out of your question!

Wouldn't tantrums be non-lethal, ideally?

I dunno, I kind of like the mental image that my dwarves are all potentially murderous psychopaths who are always a bad day away from from losing it and going on a rampage, kept in check only by a REALLY nice dining room.

Well sure, the tantruming dwarf would make wild and powerful attacks. But that's par for the course for a dwarf, and not an excuse to kill one. Unless it can't be helped of course.

Also, tantrum spirals are planned to be nerfed.

So does this mean that fishing is a low priority job now?

Also I'm pretty sure somebody already asked the hammerer one, and the answer was something like "no, that shit's supposed to be lethal." Too lazy to find a quote OR do a better imitation of Toady's voice.

This, and just to emphasize I'd just like to add my crayon reward (since it's completely awesome!) ^^

Oh wow.  I'd always imagined they hammered the chest.  Are the dwarves at the bottom cheering or pleading for clemency?

A mix of both, I'd say, seeing as immediately after the fort will descend into a tantrum spiral.

Say, if hammering is supposed to be lethal, that makes all nobles draconian prissy dictators who order the most skilled and valuable craftsdwarves killed for failing to produce 100 adamantine condoms.

Are less draconian punishments planned for failed production orders, or will Dwarven nobles always be Vlad the Impaler? Since we're getting non-lethal combat in this release, it sounds like flogging is not too far around the corner.

Right now for production orders the game prefers to had out jail time, but if there is no open prison space they default to hammer time. SO they aren't exactly nuts but things can escalate quickly.

See, I thought, like me, the dwarf would be incredulous at the manner of the hammering.


For the love of Armok, not the head!  Not again!

Sorry, end of off-topic for me.

I don't know...the hammerer always ends up hitting random spots. I kinda figured they played pinata with the prisoner.

As it seems the dwarf being punished is usually doing something at the time of his beating, it always looks like a hilariously lethal Benny Hill skit to me.

It never ceases to amaze me how often Benny Hill is brought up on Bay12.

Right now, due to necromancers and so on, the world keeps going from Age of Myth to Age of Legends and back, so you often get something like the 8th Age of Myth. Do you ever plan on changing up the Ages, or adding more of them?
