lol this post reminds me of a funny situation that happened on a downloadable game (outside of WC3) called Dwarf Fortress... A herd of about 13 blood-crazed elephants are sitting outside the dwarfs fortress, and are ambushing any woodcutters and herbalists that run out. Then some other dwarf runs out to get the dead guys pants or whatever and the elephants kill him too. The rest of the dwarves in the fortress, seeing the riches on the dead bodies outside of the gates, make a mad lemming rush of death for them.

The guy playing the game hurriedly tries to lock the doors, but, showing incredible coordination, a Monarch Butterfly flew into the space the door occupied and died somehow. Maybe a cat killed it. Anyway, since there were so many things going on at the time no one was doing such a simple job as cleaning up bug remains. Since a corpse is jamming the door, there's nothing to stop the dwarves from going lemming rush into the elephant herd to get the dead peoples items. in a last resort, the military is deployed to attack the elephants. TOTAL SLAUGHTER!

and guess what happened next? by the gods! the river floods, and drenches the entire surrounding area. In a mad desperate attempt to save themselves the leader opens a forbidden floodgate, releasing massive quantities of boiling magma into the outside world to evaporate the water on contact. what he didn't count on is the overwhelming amount of scalding steam that is produced by such an action. The end result of this carnage was dwarves and elephants drowned and burned to a crisp, an ashen wasteland and bloodstained gates.

bleak, eh? but all that stuff and more can happen in Dwarf Fortress. some guy even seems to have made a comic book about the magma death scene. PULL THE DAMN LEVER!!! ;D

another interesting scenario is fire in general. the AI of your dwarves doesn't really handle being on fire very well.

Step 1: dwarf gets hit by fireball from fire imp at magma forge
Step 2: dwarf runs to barracks to rest and heal his wounds, he dies along the way and another dwarf comes along and picks up his burning socks and puts them on. His clothes ignite, and he heads to the barracks to take a rest since he is wounded by the fire.
Step 3: His bed lights up, and spreads to nearby beds. Dwarves that sleep in those beds light up too, and spread the fire wherever they go.
Step 4: A flaming dwarf runs into the alcoholic drink storage area and blows it to hell. Now a fair portion of the fortress is on fire.
Step 5: Dwarves run through the coal stockpile and ignite it as well, as well as any wood or wooden objects that they happen to encounter. The fire spreads from dwarf to dwarf and animal to animal.
Step 6: Any cave supports that happen to be made of wood catch fire and collapse, along with the roof they were holding up.
Step 7: All your dwarves are dead because none of them fell into the river.

Now wasn't that fun?? ;D
