Not sure where to put this. I was digging though legends and found a goblin couple who had 12 sons and no daughters. That's a 1/4096 chance!

Given how many thousands of histfigs are created each worldgen, it's actually not that unlikely that someone cane along a couple like that. Or maybe the random number generator derped somehow.

That's true, but I don't look through every figure in a world. I only noticed this because the father killed 7 people in one battle.

my first few attempts at creating a military I was individually applying the uniforms. one piece of armor at a time. changing the material of each item one at a time. FOR EACH DWARF. finally i learned that i can just change the uniform and apply it to the entire squad.

.. and this one is more FUN ;-p

FP: I finally started to play around with the "new" version, which started to include temples and whatnot - and there is a new release about a month later.

I don't care. I have discovered that if you spawn elves this way, cats will chase them down and eat them.

Fought a snail with a deadly gas, gas didn't seem so deadly, we killed it pretty easily. Walking back to he fort, everyone dropped dead in near unison...

could those be modded into the game? an item that makes the wearer temporary immune to any gas/miasma would be

You could probably mod a material that causes a syndrome, which gives the [NOBREATHE] tag. Time for !!Science!!.

But then they'd die of suffocation rather than gas, would they not?
