Scientific breakthrough(?): Undead can drink
« on: January 06, 2015, 12:58:09 pm »
As I discovered 2 seconds after unpausing right after embarking at a great location, a mountainous Sinister era with a volcano.
More precisely, a mob of undead dark gnomes stormed through 5 of my dwarves and guzzled my booze. (If you're curious, they then walked away, leaving unscathed the two dwarves left, even though they were pretty close and ready to be killed. Don't know why the sudden mercy. Must have been drunk.)
Another step in dwarven science.
Unless it was already confirmed that the undead could drink, in which case, fuck dark gnomes, fuck the undead, and double-fuck undead dark gnomes, tiny hatted rotting bastards.


That is all.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

I remember there being an undead bear somewhere guzzling booze, so yeah, it has been discovered before.

Alright. I'd made a quick search but found nothing indicating that.
Fuck you, dark gnomes, fuck you with your hats.

Yeah, I think the 'guzzling' action doesn't depend on actually needing to drink. They're just pouring it into their stomaches, to be passed through as something undrinkable later.

I made a quick search too (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dwarf+fortress+guzzling) and found for example these two notes:
Undead-ness doesn't seem to stop them from guzzling, it seems then.

Well, yeah, I knew about guzzling and about dark gnomes, not about undead guzzling anything.
I guess today's lesson is that vampire dwarves, who are dreadfully slow due to alcohol withdrawal, are wusses.
