Summary0001790: Nonsensical combat messages
DescriptionWhile I like the combat system in general, a lot of the messages it generates don't make sense, and that hurts immersion somewhat.

Examples are tearing tendons in a mountain goat's skull, and a deer grabbing a dwarf by his third left toe using its right lower hoof and spinning him around (or some such).

I noticed the skull thing myself awhile ago, and looked it up before reporting it; turns out there actually *are* tendons in the skull, so that message is in fact accurate.

Yeah, skull tendons are realistic (your head does have muscles after all), and the wrestling is just crappy, not buggy in this particular instance. Toady knows wrestling is crap.
