Legend tells of a fort besieged by a dragon. When 79 brave recruits fell to its breath, the last dwarf of the fort took up arms. He sprung from his sickbed and claimed an adamant one sword before he bulrushes the dragon. A clean swipe severs the head. But the dragon claws him in the lower body and burns him alive. As he melts into a pile of booze and fat, I rename him Ronnie James Dio and change his profession to dragonslayer. He will forever be immortalized and worshipped as a dragonslayer God.

Far as the Fist of Urist goes, what's the human equivalent of Urist? Fist of Dosheb?

Fist of Ettad.
Is there any way to be able to retire him at Silverysects as well? Or even play as him to pick up the final Dwarf adventurer as a sidekick.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Fist of Ettad.

Fist of Ettad is just a fancy term for Choppity Death via Halberd. Also, I don't know if Ettad is a generic enough human name to be their equivalent for Urist.

That was brought up earlier. There used to be a glitch that would allow you to switch bodies with others; utilities are another, more direct way of achieving that.

You definetly should, after all he has proved himself to be a worthy companion and let it not be said by the elves that dwarves don't give honor to those it is due.....

I first downloaded DF about 2 years ago, played it a little bit (didn't really get it) and just back into it a lot more recently. I made an account just to say that this is the most awesome thing I have ever witnessed. Truly an epic saga.

I've done this quite a few times before; it really limits your embark options since the choices are restricted to the biome of the only existing city. More importantly, the early nature of the civilization means that a disproportionate amount of your historical figures are weremigrants/vampires so be prepared for waves of Friendly Migrants that camp out on the map edge. This can also mean that migrant waves take months or entire seasons since the next dwarf won't appear until Friendly McWerevole moves off the edge, which can take a while. Multiple weremigrants stretch out the process forever,

Not the case, though. Since it's the dawn of time, nearly no dwarves have been bitten/cursed for profane acts/cursed for the lulz/become obsessed with their own mortality.

This came up once before and I'll give the same response I did last time.



That's after a few years of game time as that fort started around year six or seven. It's a different world than Licevaarthira, but earlier in its history as well.

From what I've seen, a necromancer needs a while to gather enough dead to construct a tower, but my current game had a necromancer that became obsessed with extending his life at year seven in game and succeeding in become a necromancer by year fourteen.
