I still think the best way to kill the sponges is a magma pipe.

Not nearly a good enough singer for the Choir Invisible, and the Basement Room With A Synth Invisible is much less prestigious.

Dunno. They were here when the map was settled. They don't really move so much as they glare at you with anger hot enough to fuel several supernovas.

I know real life sea sponges procreate some how.

Before we lava pipe our very narrow river and screw up the map we should first try dropping rocks on the little bastards and see if they go splat. Or someone can rig up the infamous killer floor trick and try that.

Hey, could I possibly be added to the turn list? It's been a while since I've played a DF succession game, which should be !!FUN!!.

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Well I of course meant DF sponges. Lack of movement shouldn't be a problem going by what I heard of breeding system in the game.

Capturing one in a pool (somehow) and breeding more is very dorfy :V

New save after Tuefel's turn.

I will try and organize the things later.

Fish; This the fort I just finished with or a new map?

The problem I see with sponges is I don't know if they even procreate. I also see no reason to breed them.

I'll be starting my turn later tonight.

Would there be any issues if I used a tileset with it?

Tile sets can produce odd visual glitches so i would avoid using them.

[up]With our luck, permanent. Still, at least we will have to spend less effort renovating the rivers and such in order to repel invaders, what with the natural spongy defense grid.

I take it the place isn't temperate? Sponges, giant or no, die at first freeze.

That said, hell yes go for magma. Magma itself is overrated, but obsidian kills everything.

Last time I played a succession game where we allowed tile sets it did permanently alter appearance. When someone not using the graphics pack played, it left random graphics from the tile set on, one case had graphics that got changed around, and there was one other glitch that was merely annoying but I can't recall what it was.

Aye, then. I shall brave a dangerous land full of S, W and g. Our letters of the day, no doubt.

Let us hope that I don't mess up the rest of this.

Mura: It is in a desert. It is a hot Savage Biome.

Between the various hostile animal people tribes and steady stream of Goblin snatchers (which means an ambush or invasion will be happening soon) we are in no danger of lack of fun.

The sponges are pests but the Wolverine people are actually dangerous to common dwarves.

Dorku: You mean Wolverine Man.

Why not keep them then? If they like just sitting in the river that's water runs fast enough to kill you anyway, why not just leave it there?

1. They distract the hunters who will dump entire quivers into them to no effect.

2. They scare the fishers who are one of our chief sources of meat.

3. It is far more dwarven to find a way to kill the unkillable little shits.

I am all for using a gravity drop kill device to crush them under the pedastal of a statue of an dwarven god.

Dropping a statue on it will do nothing. You'd have to do an outright cave-in.

That said, I recommend keeping them as training dummies. Armok loves extraordinarily prolonged suffering just as much as death.

Just assign the hunters wooden bolts so nobody cares if they train Archery for a while, and make a Fishing Zone somewhere far away.

How about we dig holes under them that lead straight to Hell!

The sponges will kill everything down there, and be stuck there at the same time.

Just assign the hunters wooden or bone bolts, and use the sponge as a live fire archery range.

Give it enough time, and our bolts will block out the sun.

The hunters already use bone or wood bolts. (the miscreants grabbed the metal bolts first chance the got from the caravan donation) The problem is they could be hunting other critters or killing wolverine people instead of wasting time shooting at sponges. I suppose I could have walled off their section of river to reduce the hunters distraction.

The sponges won't kill anything. They just sit there filled with hate and rage. Just like your average internet forum user.
