DF General Discussion / this might get me banned...... Is it feasible for this thing to get to 1.0 and h
« on: September 01, 2012, 02:57:23 am »

I often work in various offices all over and ended up in one near a programmer today, he was swearing every 15 mins or so.  Totally brought out my potty mouth later.  that might explain this silly thought.


So for some silly ass reason I wondered how many lines of code does this game currently contain?  Just straight stuff not the mods or anything else pure bay12games code.  Then I wondered how many lines do they produce in an average day, and then if you could figure that out how long till release.  Just purely based on the data we have.

So I ask/ponder.  Is it feasible for this thing to get to 1.0 and how old will I be?

DF General Discussion / parabolic arcs = new life for catapults and/or minecart ramps for dwarf squads?
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:31:24 pm »
I have been lurking and trying to read others posts waiting for a sign that catapults might be improved to something in the useful as a weapon area and dreaming of how best to weaponize minecarts.  So far I think I read that we won't be seeing catapults with parabolic trajectories yet.  Which is fine, I can wait....  How many of you are also dreaming of how to send mine carts flying at objects?  After seeing the post today I was soon envisioned mine carts filled with fully armored dwarf squads sailing into combat at high velocity like some weird mash up between a Calvary charge and that scene from jack ass where they are all in a giant grocery cart going down hill.

Oh what fun!  Any thoughts on making this even more ridiculous?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Is it possible to start a war?
« on: March 19, 2012, 03:52:46 am »
I recently created a small dark world where it seems the goblin groups have been dominated by an elf or dwarf leader so it looks like one of the two dwarf civs when you start actually have a goblin city as part the civ.  I have never seen this before and now I want to mess with them, even if they are lead by a dwarf.  Is it better to start as part of the civ with the dominated dark fortress goblin civ and then attack the caravans that arrive or is it better to start as the other dwarf civ?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / random dwarfs falling unconscious all over the place

So I can't figure out why my dwarfs keep falling down unconscious in the mess hall or hallways or front gate.  What causes this?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / world gen information for a world gen junkie
« on: October 29, 2011, 04:04:47 pm »
Aloha Folks,

Does anyone know a good source for information on world gen?  I have done some digging and searching on the forums etc.  i have read the wiki but one question remains.  why do some world show gobins civ and others don't on the map?  Is this a bug/feature?

My current quest is to generate a tiny world with as many goblins, caves etc and be at war with everyone...  I am close to a perfect formula but not yet.

I did learn that pink goblin sites are more populated that grey, but what does it mean if some of them don't show?  too small or just hidden?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Firing down on goblins? Is this possible?
« on: April 26, 2011, 03:54:48 pm »
So there was this one siege and the goblins brought some hurt on my dwarfs by firing up hill at them...  Now I want to return the favor and the marksdwarfs just stand there not firing?  Can they only return fire on different z levels?  No walls or fortifications in the way...  have ammo and they practice on the targets just fine...

DF Gameplay Questions / imported tigermen tame (herbalist) died in cage due to thrist?
« on: January 07, 2011, 07:56:41 pm »
Elves brought me something cool I thought... So I was waiting to figure out what to do with this guy and bam he/she dies... The cage has a dead body in it and its in my stocks...  How do I move the item or body?  Also if the animal is tame from the elves could I have just freed him?
