Playable dragons must also be able to wear hats.

Do masks and helms count? :V

In any case...I should NOT be able to effortlessly clear out a necromancer tower just by lashing them in the face with my tail.

Pffft, starting another fort in a near-freezing taiga, just noticed one of my dwarves "absolutely detests worms," yet "When possible, he prefers to consume giant earthworm."

Well clearly giant earthworms are sexier.

Easier to make hats for them when they are large.

Due to certain... complications, my starting seven have become the starting one. I... I'm not sure what to do about that. For now, I've assigned every war animal I grabbed during embark to him for protection. This place has proved to be home to creatures both fearsome and powerful.
edit: abandoned due to bugs

I started a new fort in some badlands. A necromancer showed up before the end of the first year with a full compliment of 25... hungry heads. Each one equipped with a full suit of armor. The armor was promptly dropped upon unpausing the game. There are teeth everywhere, as my dwarves were unarmed but fully capable of punching the ever loving shit out of the undead hungry heads.

Heres a picture of the aftermath.

Huh.

In older versions, I observed that reanimated heads were nigh-unkillable, both in experience and on Youtube. I took inspiration from a video back when I was a necro in adventure mode, used to cut a head off, throw it at enemies, then reanimate it right after it hit them. They'd tear people apart, limb from limb, and shrug off basically all damage. It was crazy.

Meanwhile in Kobold Kamp...

Anyway, the updatening. I'd say that 80% in favor of reverting the faked stone fix is impressive, but it was only 5 votes. We return to the land of mugs being called goblets.

You know, I'm a bit surprised that you only managed to collect 5 votes. The DF forums are fairly active and I was under the impression that kobold kamp was fairly popular.

Kobold Camp as a whole, yes. But given there are multiple versions of it, including one absorbed into the all-devpuring Masterwork mod, my version of it is just kinda there being smol like kobold. :V

Would you guys have any interest in doing a community fort? I just started one the other day, and it seems fun, but the guy before me managed to kill the whole fort except for two dwarves and I suspect the place won't live till the end of my turn. Not much replay value for me there.
Gone. Cheers guys.

We tried that once, but not sure what happened to it. I think it's dead though. Feel free to do it. Seems fun.
I am no longer legitimately considering leaving this forum

It died out when lorknis took the fort and then never came back. It's still there if someone wants to pick it up. Probably better to start a new one though, it's one of the older versions of DF and as I recall it's on a version that will crash if you try to update it to a more up to date DF. Best to start a new one.

If you start a new fort Apethetic, I will be in.

Tempting, maybe we should. Poke me when a thread for it is up, and figure out how we're going to handle who does it when.

Thread is up. If it goes nowhere, would anyone be interested in doing a Cata Community Survivor? It seems like a fun idea to me, but I'm not sure how to really get it going. I know the game takes a little less well to it, but we could buff up starting stats a little to give a good chance of survival and then trade off weekly (ingame) or something.
Gone. Cheers guys.
