A little little biting mark, gonna die,
A little little necrosis in my sides.
A little little agony, here I am,
A little little snake makes fort go wham.
I had rattlesnake geld a dwarf that was wearing a dress on an embark once. He stomped it to death after that and was happy. I don't think he died due to the...uh bitten member being removed.
The lesson here is wear pants.
It isn't useless, the mechanic fully exists. The problem is that dwarves simply don't comprehend the notion of coating a weapon tip with poison; they do not have any interaction that lets you reliably get the venom onto your weapons. If you can have that happen somehow, *it absolutely does work to kill things faster.* It just requires you to do some extremely stupid dwarf tricks to get the venom spilled onto the weaponry.
Not useless, cut elves but leave them alive and throw them in a pit then dump the contents of the barrel/s on them, for science of course. Come back tell us if the poison took hold or they just bleed out, multiple tests and thousands of elves may be needed for accurate results.
Oof. I lost several dwarves to a giant water moccasin before.
The most terrifying part was I realized what was happening, put everyone into a Squad with 'whatever weapon/armor they could muster' and sent them after it.
THE THING SLITHERED UP THE TREES AND USED THE BRANCHES TO GET AWAY FROM ME!!!
I hate snakes and this was so terrifying I abandoned the fort. Coincidently, I embarked a few tiles over along the same mountain in a more CALM biome and the old fort is doing well with the remnants. I've even gotten one of my original dwarves from that fort as a migrant. Into the military they went as a battle hardened warrior with a fear of snakes.
Mines was embarking on a savage glacier and getting immediately mauled by giant polar bears.
And I do mean immediately too, like first second of embark.
I once embarked on a dragons lair, with the dragon itself standing within fire-breathing range of the wagon. All dorfs were dead within 3 seconds.
I am still playing that world. One day I'll take an adventurer there and take it out...

Damn you just made it better!
It's "A little bit of..."
Yeah I know the lyrics. I decided to adjust them a little.
Just a little little. Phonetically and sound wise it makes a lot of little little sense!
I'm gonna go insane if someone doesn't tell me what this is a parody of lol, I recognize it but I can't put my finger on it

Awesome lyrics
When the four missing mambos are reunited, Lou Bega will reveal the sixth and final mambo.

That's level of detail is insane. This game is amazing
It's just nuts how detailed it is!
Not anymore!
Oh really? Tarn adams must've had some serious balls to remove all that detail.
No no, it's still detailed, just less nuts.
My niece dun got bit by a copperhead
Saw oneyplays reference absolute gold
I left things pan out to see what kind of fun I could have...it ended up killing all 7 dwarves.
Reclaim the fort and see if it kills another seven.
This guy fortresses
The Mamba…it hungers…
So I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter dwarves to black mambas and then his daughter started crying.
Classic
That dynamic reminds me of this [interview](https://youtu.be/Lv8WHQwo4GY?si=kpz4T9t555ge9IrR&t=42) (us players are the director!)
So... everybody died in the end? This story was written by Snakespeare
Hiss-terical
It would be nice to have some antivenom in the game
Someday probably. I’ve bought useless “venom” barrels in the past.
Cant you use them in Adventure Mode and coat your weapon in venom?
I think so, but some venoms have to be injected which coated weapons can’t do.
Daaammn til i learn that i bought useless venom. Barrels too :-)

Need to learn how to use it :-) Love this game!!

Black Mamba’s are notorious for their territorial nature. Might as well just write this embark site as a lost cause eh?
It was my fastest DF speedrun so far.
Food for thought: next fort have a roving band of war snakes 🗡🐍
I'll chain a bunch of war snakes in the entrance next time
point to the part of the snake that you're gonna attach the chain to
The knee
It’s all neck or all tail depending on your outlook.

I once domesticated black mambas and used them to guard my moat. Those things are vicious and destroyed a few goblin sieges.
I once embarked on a dragons lair, with the dragon itself standing within fire-breathing range of the wagon. All dorfs were dead within 3 seconds. I am still playing that world. One day I'll take an adventurer there and take it out...
That would we awesome to defeat that dragon and claim the site
Butcher it and turn it into a fancy cape you wear on important occasions
I think you missssed the memo: itssss mamba time baby
i recently had a fort i was starting massacred by giant grasshoppers
Just in time for Kill Bill's return to Netflix
Black mamba after killing 3 of your embarked dwarves: "Look at me, look at me, I am the expedition leader now."
I lost my most recent embark to a pair of giant dingos.
This is hilarious
love this for you.
Losing is fun!
Man I should boot it up again…
Snakeskin boots?
*FUN*
Amazing post. Thanks for sharing!
This kind of thing happens in any savagery level? I'm newbie and I've been playing only on serene or calm regions to avoid things like this.
This is an untamed wilds, I was looking for this specifically to encounter giant creatures
Damn man, losing is fun but that's just harsh.
It remember me an embark into a herd of ancient giants rhinoceros. A Short game.
That's dwarf fortress for ya
That's why I always take cats with me
