Good Lord.  I cannot describe how sickening this is.

PLEASE LET US DO THIS I WANT CORPSE TREE PLOX.

Maybe if you make something amazingly gruesome in fortress mode, all attackers will be demoralized and fight less effectively, or just flee like the bloody cowards they are.  That would be so much fun to watch.  Add in screaming goblin sound effects and the lulz shall flow.

If we're allowed to build corpse sculptures, corpse gardens, skin murals, what have you, I still hold out a hope that when magic comes along we'll be able to make golems out of body parts and mud.  

I've ALWAYS wanted to play Dr. Frankenstein.

We have several "fed to beasts" messages.  :D

On the other hand, this is what makes DF so utterly amazing. Every creature's fate mapped out in sickening detail - not just some generic message "five killed". But where else could you even generate a fantasy world? Where else could you look up who lead a battle seven hundred years earlier in that fantasy world? Where else could you look up that on exactly what kind of rope was a common dwarf infantryman hang on seven hundred years earlier?!?!... And this is just a tiny fraction of a part of the game!!!

**** ShunterAlhena runs around praising DF and futilely trying to express just how impressed he is ****

They prefer to use local woods for the pikes, but if they can't find any, they'll go through the trouble of importing some of their cheaper materials.  The trees they hang from are all local (if there are no trees, that option goes away).  "Fed to the beasts" is disturbingly generic, and I've only written a note down to make beheading check for a head, without actually doing it yet.  Same goes for burning alive, buried alive and drowning (they might be immune).  I don't think there are any creatures that are immune to being chopped in half though, so they'll always have an outlet once I add that in.  Perhaps they could try different things until they get it right, but most of the immunities should be obvious.

I noticed in the log that two elven babies were enslaved and brought to the human town.  Then when they were teenagers and the demon attacked, they were both executed, one of them by the demon.  It was quite unfortunate.  Let me look them up...

Baby #1:  Dipane Nutsdreams.  Born.  Enslaved.  Takes up residence in an apartment in Gemtruss.  After coming of age, becomes a ranger.  Forced to work in the fishery a year later.  Flips between fishery and farming a few years.  Executed.  Never married.

Baby #2:  Ricote Beanjade.  Born.  Enslaved.  Takes up residence in an apartment in Gemtruss.  After coming of age, marries Pari Weathervoices and moves into that apartment and becomes a farmer.  Becomes a mechanic a year later.  Three years later, executed.

Let's look at the marriage too:

Pari Weathervoices.  Born two years before Ricote.  Enslaved at age two in the same attack.  Took up residence in an apartment in Gemtruss.  Was a fish dissector for six years until being fed to the beasts by the demon.

Well now that's disturbing.  I do love how it goes into detail on the execution method, what material was used in the execution, and who carried out the execution, as well as what things are done to the body after the execution.  Maybe when dwarves, elves, or humans do goblin-like things in a war, other non-evil civs could take offense?
