Then the rest of us will fight on in the proud and honorable Dwarven way.  Wrestler Rush.

Leather shields and war dogs for all!  Well, at least we're not fighting fire imps.

Not to mention that any nuclear explosive actually designed to blow up will generate an EMP field no where near as big as the explosion proper.  Unless it's an actual EMP bomb (hence, otherwise harmless), any computer actually in danger of frying would be well inside the blast radius anyway.

Unless I'm mistaken, the EMP thing is not the same as a normal power surge.  When it hits a circuit board, it makes stuff arc all over the place, completely ignoring grounding or surge protectors by being pervasive and really powerful.  Good wiring won't save you when the surge is flying through the air.  However, all it takes to "harden" a computer against that is a Faraday Cage.

None of that post was serious except the appeal for time.  It's not like anything is really on track around here in our little refugee camp.

Hello, hello...  Is anybody in there?

EDIT FOR ALL GAMES: We're calling the shakeup Wathathafatha now, the Siege of Battles.  Uh, that means, everyone be cool about all the succession and story games.  They survive on in cryogenic form, in Toady's archive, and will be back with the forum.  Hopefully.



Aqizzar here, current turn-meister of Powerwork, making a thread in lieu of Dadamh not being here, maybe.  Just maintenance and place-holding really.

I didn't get started until today and probably won't finish this weekend, but I assume that in light of the whole flee-to-the-hills, forum-in-exile refugee group thing, I'll have an extension on my turn time.  Being master of the thread now, that's my say so.  Ha!

Aqizzar, Potash Maker has immigrated to your fortress.
Aqizzar, Potash Maker is throwing a tantrum!

So this you people have been hiding yourselves!  Anyone know how much of the old forum's threads are going to survive the transfer?  I'd hate to lose all that.
