DF Adventure Mode Discussion / World of evil

« on: December 29, 2009, 09:30:27 pm »

Imagine a world without dwarves...or humans...or elves. This describes the pocket world i recently generated. I set the parameters to have the maximum number of evil squares, and turned off the requirement for playable civs. I ended up with a world in which the only civ is goblins, led by the demon Uslot. Also populating the world are a significant number of giants and cyclopses, as well as a hydra. I can't play fortress mode (as there were never any dwarves to begin with!) on this world, but I can play adventure, as either a human play now or a goblin. I picked a goblin, Usbu Devildanced, and made him a knife user. The game didn't start me with a knife, so i was ripped apart by harpies. Now I'm playing as Strodno Sinprison, Axeman. I've been looking for Uslot in the goblin capital of Lullspider, i will post again if I ever do.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Your epic deaths?

« on: December 28, 2009, 02:50:00 pm »

Sometimes the end of your adventure is the most memorable part of all. My Human, whose name i forget, killed 180 people, mostly by sneaking into their houses at night and choking or chopping them to death. His last kill, a high priest, mortally wounded him before being killed. Looking at the priest in legends, he was nothing special: former farmer and ranger with no notable kills besides me. But then I looked at his wife: turns out, I had killed her a year earlier! So it's a sort of double revenge: he kills me for killing his wife, I kill him for mortally wounding me. Post your own epic deaths!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / The mad muskox

« on: July 03, 2009, 10:02:03 am »

Recently, something happened that I never knew was possible.

My Fortress TallTower hasn't been doing too well. After an ambush I definately wasn't prepared for, 6 dwarves died and several others went insane, including my clerk. Later, the Dwarven caravan arrived, and was ambushed. The merchants decided it was best to run away, and all of them apparently escaped. Except for one: a single merchant with a muskox. I'm surveying the land, and come across the two of them, flashing with blue exclamation marks. Both have been stricken with melancholy. I looked through the announcements and found a message that said "Muskox is stricken with melancholy!"

So, has anyone else come across an insane animal?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Farming in icy areas

I'm sure this is common knowledge, but I didn't see it in the wiki, so I'll post it here. There are a few different ways to create muddy tiles in an icy area, but the easiest one i know of is to build constructions (stair, floor ect.) made of ice all over the area you plan to farm, and then deconstruct them. they will melt, creating muddy tiles. I can't guarantee this will work in every fortress, but it worked for the two I built in glaciers.
