::Well, until Toady lets carp and elephants fight each other to settle this once and for all, perhaps carp should be King of the Sea and elephants King of the Land. Eagles can have King of the Air.--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 19:53, 3 November 2007 (EDT) | ::Well, until Toady lets carp and elephants fight each other to settle this once and for all, perhaps carp should be King of the Sea and elephants King of the Land.

::::All the other types of hostile fish (e.g. longnose gar, pike, etc) are just as dangerous as carp, or were the last time I had a fort on a river infested by them (it was a "major river" which was only 4 or 5 tiles wide, had about 3 different kinds of hostile fish, and no carp). --[[User:SL|SL]] 12:06, 29 July 2008 (EDT) | ::::All the other types of hostile fish (e.g. longnose gar, pike, etc) are just as dangerous as carp, or were the last time I had a fort on a river infested by them (it was a "major river" which was only 4 or 5 tiles wide, had about 3 different kinds of hostile fish, and no carp). --[[User:SL|SL]] 12:06, 29 July 2008 (EDT) | ||

:I did a test in order to refute a claim made on the [[Fishing]] talk page (suggesting that carp were no longer dangerous) where I sent seven dwarves fishing by a carp-infested river - the carp (and pike and gar and sturgeons) would immediately swim away (while my dwarves would cancel fishing but then '''immediately''' resume - fishing is ultra high priority, for some reason), occasionally swimming in closer but then usually fleeing again, only rarely going in for an attack. However, once I tried the same with a murky pool containing several carp, each of the dwarves got torn to shreds almost instantly (the first one was reduced to 36 chunks and a severed lower left leg). Given that carp are not defined as predators, it makes sense that they were behaving like other animals such as elk and groundhogs, only attacking when provoked (or, in this case, cornered). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:28, 3 November 2009 (UTC) | :I did a test in order to refute a claim made on the [[Fishing]] talk page (suggesting that carp were no longer dangerous) where I sent seven dwarves fishing by a carp-infested river - the carp (and pike and gar and sturgeons) would immediately swim away (while my dwarves would cancel fishing but then '''immediately''' resume - fishing is ultra high priority, for some reason), occasionally swimming in closer but then usually fleeing again, only rarely going in for an attack.

::Good point - I'm convinced. But you should run the same experiment it with 1 dwarf, not 7, and a river. Animals sometimes can sense "the odds" if outnumbered. I have full confidence the outcome is predictable - but'' pro forma'' it should be run anyway to be thorough.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:04, 3 November 2009 (UTC) | ::Good point - I'm convinced.
