"Can you kill a person with water from your waterskin in the real world?"

Yes you can... in many ways too... Could you kill someone with the impact of throwing it? Most likely not.

Though Sexual Slaves may be a yes or no issue... Id still kinda would like to assign Servants and Slaves to individuals if you can't already. They would bring food and water as well as take care of other needs of the individual. And if you assigned them to a Military unit the Servant becomes known as a Squire (useful for feeding them)

Hmm... actually... I like that idea... Suggestion Boards here I come.

I kinda hope that this stuff is reduced in probability, rather than completely removed. The real world is full of some wacky and unlikely events. And having stuff like crazy generals turning on their homeland, etc, every once in a while would greatly add to the depth of the game.

Where are you guys getting all these historical logs from?

You want porn, download porn.  You want a game, download Dwarf Fortress.  Pardoning the pun, sex doesn't need to be intimately detailed.  It might be possible to have a slave in the Teutonic tribe sense -- where female slaves were required to sleep in the same bed as their masters, but were otherwise just domestic slaves -- but turning out slaves purely for sexual purposes screams "teenage perversion" more than it screams realism.</STRONG>

Yeah man, the Japanese during the conquest of mainland China and North Korea were fine upstanding soldiers.  Same with the Russians in Eastern Germany.

Real life is fucked up.  We don't need to see every possible perversion in DF.  I'm sure Toady will add enough to satisfy the subset of players that wants the darkest, grittiest game experience possible.

Let's get the actual fighting to work first intead of what soldiers do after battle. Also, In DF, there is no gender distiction, so we either need to allow evreybody to become a slave or disable it entirely. The first option will loose us the support of the religious anti-gay movemnts and the second will reduce the support we get from the pervert crowd. One of these doesn't send donations anyway. Guess.

Actualy, i still prefer my "Gruesome Sculpture Block Walls" over "dwalfs, erfs or whatever you call dwarf/elf hybrids.

Mmmm....   Bonegrinder workshop.  Collect the corpses of all your enemies and mash them together into lovely little blocks to build your fortress out of.

Perhaps the ground bones would make fine concrete. The survivors would then get a nice set of bone concrete low boots, perfect for swimming.

grinding bones actually makes bonemeal, which is a thickening agent akin to starch.

building bone sculptures and making bone blocks to build things out of is a good idea though.  you'd probably have a crafttdwarf make the blocks as a bunch of bound-together bones or something.  they certainly wouldnt be as strong as stone or anything, but might be more decorative.  i dont know if you should be able to make load bearing systems out of them.  

a bone wall or bone tower would be great, but theres no way a bone wall should be able to hold up a larger stone structure.  and without a way to model that kind of load bearing system, i dont think that bones will be able to be used for anythign short of decorative functions.

which isnt to say that we shouldnt have bone statues.

Dwarves are master architects; I see nothing wrong with them building a fortress held aloft in the air with a single well-placed femur.
