AS I was going on a rampage in my own human town (ruled by elves...those bastards)

I noticed it said "the child has ben struck down" when attacking him yet I only cut his arm off or hit a lung and didnt decap him or split him in two.


'What gives?

[Toybasher]

Oops! wrong forum, can an admin kindly move this for me? thanks.

[Silleh Boy]

You should have the means to move it yourself, assuming that hasn't been disabled.

It should be on the left side, as a tab at the very bottom of the page.

[Toybasher]

GRRRRRR. moving topics is hard as heck!


I guess I will leave it at bug reports

Wow, left your mark in announcements.

Wow, left your mark in announcements.

Yea, sorrey, first time I didnt see the drop down box for where for it to go.

[LASD]

Wow, left your mark in announcements.

And then the thread ends up in a section where you can't make new topics any more.

At least this reveals two forum bugs.

Hi!

Well, setting aside the mysteries of the forum software, the "struck down" message is, as far as I know, always used when an attack immediately kills a creature. It merely marks that the creature was directly killed by violence (by another creature or a trap, as far as I know). I am not quite sure, but it may even occur when a creature is killed by a cave-in or by falling into a pit (I have been looking after my dwarves, so it has been a while).

There is also "bleeding to death", "suffocating", "has died of old age", but I don't think there is even a generic "has died".

This is a very strange announcement.

And I assume it's because the child lost a lot of blood after you cut off his arm and impaled his chest.

Can an admin come and move this topic to gamesplay questions? Thanks, I am worried about screwing up again in trying to move it.

I first though no amouth of bloodloss or mangling should result in the stuck down message, but if this is whats been happening it might be that the blood being strewn around by the attack might have been enough to bleed the child out, thus killing it directelly from the attack.

Falling in pits and dying from cave-ins both have their specific message by the way (I dont allways look after my dwarves, hehe)
And lets not forget the drowning, bridge-crushing, colliding-with-obstacle, burning, dying-in-heat, freezing, encaing in ice or obsidian, starving and dehydrating.

DF does have an awful lot of those... but yeah, no non-specific ones like 'has died'.

It gets weirder, there "has melted""collaspewd" "executed by being left out in open air "(wtf)? and my favorite...beheaded. (what causes the "been beheaded" message?

Really? I don't think he'll be mad. He might be interested in finding out about this bug.
