DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Missing companions
« on: June 19, 2017, 11:55:19 pm »
Usually, on the map screen, left behind dwarves will have an * on the map following you, if they aren't there, chances are they actually died offscreen. If they live, then sleeping actually helps as a dwarf managed to chase across an entire ocean just to reach my adventurer, but they can die off screen if they ran off.

That's what I thought would happen, but I found if I leave them behind in a town, they would stay in that town and not try to follow me for whatever reason. I had this happen previously, and that time they were relatively close to housing, so they were easier to find.

I also already confirmed they are definitely alive (made a backup, retired the adventurer and checked legends to see whether they are alive at all). I have also slept in a mead hall multiple times already, and they still won't show up.

Also, they're humans. :P Not that it matters, really.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Missing companions
« on: June 19, 2017, 01:43:17 pm »
I started playing DF again recently, and so far have been enjoying adventure mode. However, after I chased down a bandit, I had outrun my companions, and they are not listed in the companions menu anymore. They are definitely still alive, but I have not been able to locate them at all. The townspeople in my current location say that they are in the town somewhere, but they "don't know where to look". ??? I asked someone to guide me to my companions (mostly because I would be constantly harassed by bandits while I try to sleep), but he's just as unhelpful in finding my missing companions as the townspeople. I put up a save if anyone wishes to help me find the disappeared companions. :'(

TBH I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up teleporting underground somehow.

I found a roaming entity in a human town, so I decided to check what it was. I found out that it was a goblin maceman, who was also "hostile" towards me (as in, trying to flee from imminent justice).

While I was chasing the goblin down, I noticed an unrelated fishery worker was injured somehow. I thought the goblin had assaulted the poor fellow in a bid to escape my and my companion's wrath. I watched the citizen get into safety... Only for him/her? bolt back out, chased by a frail werecoyote.

Seeing this as an opportunity to train my adventurer's skills and gain fame, I ignored the goblin in favor of stopping the werecreatures assault. The werecoyote attacks, but fails to hit me. I slash the beast in the center mass with an +iron long sword+, and the werebeast goes down instantly. Huh, guess it must have been weak to iron, or it could have been very wimpy.

I chased down the goblin maceman moments later.

Spoiler: Well, this happened. (click to show/hide)

This is currently the best run I've ever had. There were a lot of close calls mostly pertaining to lack of ammo and not-so-good weaponry (I arrived at the palace with a splinter pistol and an auto shotgun with very little ammo), and also last-minute saves (I got Rabbit Paw as the second-to-last mutation, and the weapon chest at the throne contained an auto flame shotgun (which promptly slaughtered the throne)). I took damage nearly every single level. Every time I got to 0 health, I would stop moving to figure out where I was, then move over any medkit that had dropped.

When I died, the weapons I were holding were a Hyper Launcher and a Plasma Cannon, and I had Crown of Explosions at the time. I had gotten a total of 4 (5?) crowns (in chronological order: Crown of Destiny (which got me Impact Wrists), Crown of Blood (for silliness) and the last ones were Crowns of Explosions to go with the Hyper Launcher).

Fun facts:
  • I stayed above 0 health during all throne fights, and didn't get hit once during Throne's final form.
  • Sharp teeth did a lot of work for keeping me alive. Every time I got hit, a lot of lower health enemies died and at least one dropped a medkit to restore what healh I lost.
  • Plasma Cannon is a godsend during a loop (firing the thing into a good spot meant a lot of enemies dying, and I would often walk into a huge pile of drops).
  • What got me in the end was that some offscreen enemies managed to get me to 0 health and I couldn't get a medkit to drop onscreen. I was at full health (12/12 HP) when I entered too.
  • My previous best run was with Plant, where I got to the second loop. I died when I walked into a reflected gatling slugger round.

Other Games / Re: Forsaken's Gaming Servers (Take 2)

forsaken, could you add this ship to the list of ships pirates can use? The blueprint already exists on the server (named 'KDI Wisp R2'). From what I've gathered it's slightly more powerful than the standard Isanth (167 dmg cannons vs. Isanth's 130-ish, faster accel). Also, I've heard some people are having problems with the standard pirates, so others should probably voice their opinion about this (I don't have trouble with them myself, then again, I use a somewhat powerful ship).

Had a really fun game today, as there was 8 people on a server at the same time. I got to repeatedly blow up Wayward Device, until he blew me up by ramming into my ship, after it was heavily damaged.

Here's the ship I used to blow up Wayward Device if you're interested:

FAKE EDIT: Somehow, I totally forgot that the design had liquid rocket motors installed. Oh well...

I just caught a vampire red-handed. The interesting thing here was that he was currently the mayor of the fortress. I wonder if he still lives after 50 strikes from a silver hammer...
Well, he survived the initial strikes, but as it turns out, vampires aren't immune to infections.

Also, I equipped my prison cells with dwarven atom smashers. Those will deal with the vampires much more efficiently than putting them in jail for x days.

Also, another thing that looks odd to me, that one of my carpenters has a long name and six notable kills, but no combat skills.

Enter "The Shattered Fortress" (without the quotes) as the seed and go to -191,124,23 for some mountains. ;D

In case you're wondering, that location is on top of a tree.
