DF2014:Struck down

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about an older version of DF.

When the message "[dwarf] has been struck down" appears, some dwarf has received an immediately fatal injury in combat, namely : the brain being damaged, the head being chopped off or the lower/upper body being cut in two. Too much of this message and your fort may experience large amounts of fun.

If a dwarf is not seen dying by another dwarf there will be no announcement of the dwarf dying.

More specific death messages for other scenarios include the following: shot and killed, burned to death, drowned, encased in ice, encased in obsidian, melted, crushed by a drawbridge, fell into a deep chasm, crushed by a cave-in, died after colliding with an obstacle, and, most commonly among nobles, killed by a spike.
