Title: HFS, without any real Fun?
Post by: dood_ on August 22, 2009, 09:54:52 pm: Ok, so, I've found the HFS for the first time. Completely by accident I might add. Pierced it,

and out spills dozens if not more of raving lunatics of Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Orcs. Walled up the tunnels that they spilled out to and stuff, HOWEVER, it's been nearly half an hour now, and no SoF, Tentacle dudes, or Frog guys yet. How longs the delay? I was under the impression it was instantaneous. The Wiki says that there's a chance there are no demons. Is that correct?

Also, Once a Dwarf, Always a Dwarf, right?

I'm trying to figure out how to catch those 'From The Underworld' dudes and, I don't know, let them die with honour on my Temple To Armok or in The Area or something. What do you do with them?

I don't think the demons appear if all access points to their pits are sealed off. And I'm not sure what you can do with the demons, seeing as I never caught any.

Ohh, cheers. Won't open it up till I can cause a cave in and pave the ground with cave traps. And the 'From the Underworld' guys are the Dorfs that were in the pits! They're marked as 'From the Underworld' on the unit list. What do you guys call them? Or is there even a name?

Comment, all HFS creatures are trap immune unless knocked out. Also, SoFs burn wooden stuffs.

As well as your legendary non-marksdwarf champions. Doesn't matter how much armor they're wearing - if they're fighting up close, they'll be burnt to a crisp in seconds.

It's worth noteing that Demons start out invisable.

Yes. So they are probably there already, they just aren't showing up because no creatures with an alignment other than "from the underworld" have come within 1 tile of them.

Prisoners, full of 'unknown substance' most likely. Heads certainly full of the horrors carved around them.

I wonder if they have engraving skill.

Post by: Kietharr on August 23, 2009, 09:29:42 am: This spoiler stuff is ridiculous, makes reading the thread a chore. Anyways, the clowns start off invisible, send a mangled military dwarf or an equally worthless unit into the fun house to get them visible. But be ready, because once they're visible they start creating massive amounts of fun.

It's also possible to dig in under the level of the fun and not find any of those happy clowns, the first one I uncovered was about 10z levels below the funhouse and only one clown came out, then I assaulted the fun house and had a lot of fun which created a dark age in my fort where my population was constantly declining and the migrants were afraid of having too much fun so they didn't come. Lasted a few years, until I put all of that delicious funstone to work increasing my wealth.
