DF is just so awesome...

[Cthulhu]

I'm going to freak out when this new version comes out.

[Toady One]

Further fun facts:

Cequova Crabcherished from the main story was Ricote Beanjade's father.  Although they don't think in these terms at this point, we can fudge and say that when Cequova led the failed attack on Gemtruss the same year Ricote was taken, he hoped to get his baby back (they do free slaves that used to be members of their civ if they get a chance).  When he was enslaved the following year, they were reunited -- or at least in the same town.

Ricote's mother, Cequova's wife, was Queca Dawnplaited -- Cana Sharkbold's daughter!  He he he, these pocket worlds are all twisted together...  she was a clothier in the elf town (Snakesbolt), though she became a guard later.  She was not enslaved in the first attack, and when her mother Cana returned from slavery to retake Snakesbolt (and give her husband to the humans as a slave), she remained and continued living there with her mother instead of going with Cequova into bondage (and eventual demon execution).

Her father, and Cana Sharkbold's husband, Ceca Clearedlobster, was killed when the elves attacked the humans in the year 8 after being the leader of the elven site for only a year.  They went through quite a few leaders before Cana became the long-term ruler.

If we look over to Ricote's spouse, Pari, (I can only tell the gender of parents right now...) and look at his/her parents, we see that one was enslaved in the original attack (and so later executed when the demon attacked) and the other was killed in the original attack.  The killer, Aquos Lucidbronze, a human died in the same fight, killed by Amala Howlrocks.  Amala was enslaved and later killed by the demon.

The other elf baby, Dipane, was born to Ditari Seasonbore (mother) and Amu Coastalchances (father).  Ditari was struck down in the first conquest of Snakesbolt (and had killed a human in a failed attack the year before).  Amu killed a human in the defense but was enslaved and worked leather in the human town for more than a decade before being executed by a goblin.  Amu was Pari's older brother by 14 years.

Incidentally, the human culture (as opposed to their site civ) was called the Union of Tummies, and they worshipped Ciko Suppermuffin the Sugary Cakes, the goddess of food.

what pale fruit dangles from its limbs?

That kind of plot interweaving could only be seen in an episode of Seinfeld.
And that is the most epic civ ever.

Imagine in a standard world... any farmer you meet in a city would have a background more detailed than in any other game ever designed.

Farmer Stronbelt: Gino Strongbelt was my father.
In 980, he killed Stu, the demon, at the Battle of the Pregnantedlakes.

And Gino, if alive, would have stories to tell, not only about himself, but stories from his father and grandfather, up to the 10 starting couples of his civilization.

I love the way DF allows you to weave narratives around the events that occur naturally in the game.  The fact that the game so often conspires to make them entirely plausible is part of its brilliance.

About the whole "no creature is immune to being chopped in half..."
Do NOT make a giant worm civilization.  'Nuff said.

That's actually a myth.  Number of live worms resulting from cutting a worm in half <_1.

[Impending Doom]

Actually, I think he's referring to the other form of colossal worm.

If my Dune knowledge hasn't failed me, each and every segment of a Shai-Hulud has its own brain, heart, and digestive system.

I'd just like so say that the reason I love DF so much is that nowhere else on the internet will I find phrases like "Ciko Suppermuffin the Sugary Cakes" and "human child burned alive by goblin" together in the same place.

[general comment on DFs, Toadys, and this threads incredible awesomeness]

[Kagus]

This, will, be, GLORIOUS.

I had no idea of how spectacularly amazing the next release would be.

[pepeshka]

I'm really friggin' impressed.

Will civs attack other same-race civs?

Wrong, since you're speaking of all worms rather than a specific type. With most types of worms, you would be correct. Flatworms, on the other hand...
