Cacame should go on a quest to resurrect the one who killed his wife, so he can kill them. Yeah, that'd be pretty friggin sweet.
I second this decision. ;D maybe a two or three story bit? like the odyssey?

That would be literally epic.

I like the story. It was very good.

Two things, though. 1) His last name is Awemedinade. I remember it by thinking "Awesome Medicine Lemonade". Or something like that.

Ah, fixed that easily enough (Awemadinale, what I originally wrote, turns out after looking it up to mean "Admiration-elevated vegitation".  Take of that what you will.)

And I believe the local leaders are the leaders of one of the sub-groups within a civilisation; so they tend to rule a site of their own.  That informs too many things to easily change it, though, post-facto.


And I very much agree with the quest idea.  ;D

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

By the way, Cacame is now a Legendary Hammerelf.

Call it artistic expressionism (Still don't have my tablet, so I can't do much complex right now).

That's actually pretty sick.

Of course, it begs me to imagine that the demon 'really' is a gangster with a mohawk, shank, and tank top. :)

I imagine that Egngun looks something like this:

Also, I think my modded up MegaBeasts are working. I just had a Titan show up. She did quite a number on my champions, even after one of them cut off her left hand. She proceeded to rip the legs off another and use his greaves to beat him to death, then beat an Elite Wrestler to death, then splatter a war lion, war jaguar, and a war monitor lizard against the ramps beneath the colossus, all while under assault from 3 other champions. I thought I was going to lose another one, when Themiyi, the elf I turned into a Royal Guard, came flying in (a perfectly agile elf moves incredibly fast) and killed it with her spear.

Guh.

I think Cacame has an aura of awesome +5.

It turns even other elves into war gods.

Actually, the other-races-turned-Royal-Guards are all pretty badass. I turned another Goblin into one, because I felt bad for my original one not having anyone on her friends list, and she essentially fought off the last elf siege all by herself. I stationed my champions on the bridge, because that makes cleanup easier, but she ran outside the walls chasing down elves and hacking them to bits, despite coming under constant arrow fire.

She ended with 10 elf kills and 21 horse kills, without taking a bruise herself, and earning herself the name "the Crazy Chasm of Souls", which sounds awesome even though I have no idea what it means.

Oh, and speaking of nicknames (my fortress has a lot of good ones, though there are a bunch of utterly terrible ones as well), the Hammerer earned herself the name "the Influence of Genius".

I'm seriously starting to wonder if the other-races-turned-dudes thing is causing them to become unnaturally tough.

Not really. They are still sparring and are all legendary Wrestlers/Shield Users/Spearwomen with perfect displayed stats. In random tests I've run with them and Cacame I've watched them get hurt and/or killed when facing real threats that are turning their full attention to the targets.

They certainly aren't doing anything my actual Champions couldn't do and couldn't do faster and better than them. When I suspect an elf siege is lurking around, I generally only station one champion on the bridge, because they're no threat with wood weapons and armor. The Titan kill was enabled by the fact that it had already spent two or three minutes fighting half my champions before she randomly decided to come over and help.
