I think a spike-trap lever will do for these ***holes. One likes shields, the other gauntlets and boots.

Edit: with only one wooden spike, of course. Of course, my carpenter is a badass sooo.....

Then again, impaling someone is so medieval there's no way I can resist!

Ah, good old Vlad the Impaler. Many immigrant blenders are based on his work.

Wait, Vlad Dracula the Impaler, known for his many executions by impalement, who was eventually killed by impalement, and then became the legendary Count Dracula, King of Vampires?

I do believe he is the one. His most famous work was when he invited all of the poor peasants to his manor for a feast. He then killed them all to make his countdom more "rich". He would have been the most epic dwarf noble...

Count Dracula has set a new mandate: 10 human bone objects...

Yes. Vlad loved impalement, even when he was held prisoner by the Ottomans he impaled rats and other vermin critters that made the unwise journey to his cell. I learned this from the History channel.

I just got an image of Snake crawling around in tunnels spearing rats for food with a spoon.

In his defense, he was thought of as "hard but fair" by many of his citizens; most of his ire was directed at the nobles under him, or actual criminals. Hell, he's a national hero in Romania, as a man who stood up to and smashed down enemies foreign and domestic.

[Rowanas]

See, that's the difference between good and evil. Vlad crossed it with the deadly fake feast.

True dat. It was said that he could take a golden chalice and place it in the middle of a town by the well - where everyone went. NO ONE dared to take it, because they knew that even the pettiest of crimes resulted in impalement.

 Though he could be a real dick. I heard that a noble or merchant or such was in his castle attending a meeting and Vlad had a few old corpses impaled outside. They stunk real BAD - so the noble frowned. Vlad asked "what is the matter?" and the man told him that the stench from the corpses bothered him.
 So Vlad had the man imprisoned and ordered an EXTRA TALL stake to be fashioned, upon which the noble was impaled far above the others. Grinning, Vlad said to his guards "now that he's up there he cannot smell the stench anymore!"

 ... but in reality we have to ask ourselves what the truth in all this is. People love to make up stories and the noble-impalement-thing doesn't exactly sound "fair" at all. If we look at other historical figures like Joseph Goebbels, I read in a history book that after a great speech that sent patriotism and pride into the hearts of nazis.. he said to one of his personal men "What an hour of foolishness! if you tell the people to jump off a cliff they will do so!" or something.

 I just have to ask myself. What the fuck? Why would Joseph go and say something stupid like that? Not only does the quote imply that he didn't believe in the cause, but it implies that his personal men didn't either. They were only "bad men" who manipulated the population - and they spoke freely about it too which isn't the best idea since half the world is trying to get spies into their midst.
 Hearsay and exagerations that someone later puts into their memoirs without questioning sources, and later history books adopt this as truths ... that's what I think. So let's take it all with a pinch of salt.

I thought you'd made a way to actually mill dogs into dog flour.

"I'll grind his bones to make my bread!"

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:BONE_FLOUR]
[NAME:make flour out of bones]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BONES:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:DOG]
[PRODUCT:100:1:POWDER_MISC:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:DOG] (I'm not sure that reaction will work)

[Edit] Even if that does work the powder will not be in a bag and thus not usable and I don't think that will make a powder you can cook with...

[The Architect]

I know everyone currently uses the smelter to do all their custom dirty work, but could you assign bones to be millable, with a reaction at the mill producing a bag of dog bone meal?

Not currently. Only plants are millable. Reactions only work in the Smelter (next (big) version though some of the other workshops will allow reactions and you can also build custom workshops), it does all the dirty work because it is the only one that can do it.

You can however make a smelter reaction that will turn bones into a plant and you can make that plant millable (just be sure to not give said plant seeds or a biome other wise it will spawn in said biome and be farmable).

This causes silly whithering bone plants though... I allways find that such things kinda break the feel of the game.

Looking forward to the next version, can do sooo much more neat stuff in modding in these smaller game mechanics then. (and with tons of other stuff...)

[Satarus]

Maybe teh next update will let BONECARN races mill bones to flour.

He also worked for the Pope.

Hmm I'm getting an education on Vlad. And not only do I not care, but without substantiation I doubt the veracity of most of it!

Anyway, back to cruelty:

I have these rulers/local leaders in cages, both orcs and goblins. And I'm wondering what ta do wit em. Soooooo...

I have spent two years constructing a gigantic glass-window-walled maze, which I am now installing the windows in and setting the traps in. I have a Titan, on whom (if he isn't hostile to them) I will put the pet_exotic tag before I drop him in behind some glass walls. The Titan should always be able to see the orc/goblin, who will run the maze, complete with its dead-end-makers and its little spike pits of doom, as the Titan tries to catch him by also running the maze.

This should be one hell of a treat. Unfortunately, it's taking forever to construct because I am trying to really do it right.

On the other hand, I am completing a multi-level arena with glass viewing platforms (dwarves can see through glass windows as if nothing were there) and I may prematurely begin executions there. Titan Tests, if you will.

[Quietust]

Regarding your glass titan maze, you might want to remove the BUILDINGDESTROYER tag from your Titan first, or else he might go and break all of those windows in an attempt to path to the goblins and orcs.
