DF Community Games & Stories / Awesome Legends Story Short
« on: November 29, 2017, 11:23:24 pm »


Just thought it was worthy of a share !

Thoughts / Comments / Cooler stories? :)

Sorry for the double-thread, but I just noticed that the sun moves around the planet differently depending on the size of the world!

I'm 100% certain this is the case, the larger your world the longer daytime lasts.

Let's discuss? Am I late on this discovery?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / The Value of Stoicism
« on: January 18, 2016, 08:55:41 pm »
It had been a long day on the hunt, a sasquatch had gotten the jump on us and almost hurt Boshkuc, my friend and bowman.

Luckily, a clean shot to the Sasquatch's head knocked it unconscious, and I gave it a quick death.



When I got back to my village, I shared some of the meat to the local home tree villagers (We're humans living in a forest retreat, kind of embarrassing but it's a long story.)

After that, we were so tired. We went to home tree and began to get ready for rest. Everything was pretty! And the night was so peaceful.

There was only one issue.

A goblin, talking to an elf that CLEARLY didn't want to talk to him.

After minutes of talking about his feelings, I'd had enough.



Hello



I'm sure it is, jerk, we're trying to sleep though!



Oh, you think you overindulge sometimes? Overindulge in CONVERSATION maybe?

The goblin would turn his head quickly, speaking to both the elf who didn't speak to him and me.

I'd had enough!



Clearly offended, he said somewhat timidly, "I don't know what to say."



I repeated myself again, hoping he would get the hint.



He did, and agreed to be quiet.

I said goodbye and turned my head over, and heard not a single PEEP from him for the remainder of the day. Ah, silence is golden.

[Authors Note]
So the story is exactly as I'd told it, the goblin was SO annoying so I thought "Maybe making it value stoicism would cause it to shut up about his feelings?"

It did, and thus a new appreciation for values was born in my mind!

Funfact, the last picture's captchta was "Silence is golden." What a coincidence!

Thanks for reading !

DF General Discussion / Community Preservation - [URGENT]
« on: January 16, 2016, 10:08:23 am »
Fellow dorfers, we have a situation on our hands here on the forum homelands.

Stories, even from the hall of legends, are having their pictures deleted. I'm hoping someone can explain why, but as far as I know they're going to be gone forever.

We should focus our efforts on preserving these stories with their images and putting them into PDF, but if I'm completely wrong about all this feel free to tell me.

DF General Discussion / AdvFort Succession? [Interest]
« on: January 14, 2016, 02:16:50 pm »
Hi!

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in creating an Adventurer-Fort Succession game?

Basically, you start an adventurer, go to the site we pick out (I suppose it'll be an abandoned fort?) and then we can spend like, a real life week, doing what you can to expand our adventurer-fort to glory? A game year in adventurer mode is too long, so that's why I chose 1 Real Week as a time limit.

So yeah, any interest? Let's discuss!

Hi! I'm a HUGE fan of legends mode, and I occasionally enjoy making huge worlds, letting them run until lots has happened, and then going into legends mode to explore it.

I've done this before, but this story is so much better.
I traced a family tree from the year 1642 all the way back to the first of its kind in year 0. I figured it would be interesting to see how this family lived and such.

Although not any old family can do, it HAS to be the family of the woman who killed a dragon!

A few things you should know..
*Heavily modded raws, I removed all races except human and made humans work for fort mode. This shouldn't affect the story much though.
*The information isn't formatted to look amazing, but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to read it easily.
* "*Lived and died" - Means they were boring and had no significant life.
*Lineage is based on mothers only. So, for example.

[EXAMPLE]

(Urist McDaughter) - Start here, the highest is the most recent and is the daughter of the person below them.
^
(Urist McMother) - McMother is mother to Daughter, and is the daughter of grandma.
^
(Urist McGrandma)

Anyway, start at Cusal Brandtest, and work your way down.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Honestly, not sure if anyone will care about this, but I just thought it was very cool to trace Cusal's ancestry only to discover her family has contributed science, technology, and was even royalty before.

Thanks for reading? Questions greatly appreciated and encouraged, a few things struck me as interesting. I didn't know people could discover things new to the world, and I didn't know that the game could trace 2000 + years of family history. :P

DF General Discussion / New "Divine" - Force(s)
« on: December 21, 2015, 11:21:35 am »
I think this might be new? I found this while browsing legends.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Regardless of whether it's new or not, I have a few questions

1) Who worships this "force of nature?" The elves? Anyone in the world?
2) Most likely not, but does this force have any temples or sites dedicated to it?

It's really cool that there's forces that permeate entire regions now.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Bandits - New Experience!?
« on: December 19, 2015, 11:49:49 pm »
I'm witnessing bandits actually robbing a farmer on the streets of a hamlet!

I've never seen them do anything, but just now I dumbfoundedly watched the goblin bandits spit at a farmer, take their pouch of coins and empty it, and then tell me everything is fine. They turned to the farmer again, punched him in the face, and wandered off..

This is so cool, never seen this before. :D

DF Community Games & Stories / The Legacy of Ebbak Hoistedbooks
« on: December 17, 2015, 06:51:44 pm »
Ebbak Hoistedbooks certainly hoisted many of her own books around the library of Pageprices back over a hundred years ago, not limited to her ability to win competitions in the annual "Festival of Birth" thrown by the Bright Empire, but what does this famous book writer have to do with a crazy elf found deep within an abandoned Fortress?

The current year is 256, and just recently in a reclaimed fortress known as Jungletour, an elf found in the abandoned halls named Eliye Tonerisethe was found and killed by the dwarvern militia, curious as the fortress had been ruined for quite some time, and without any known cause ever revealed, the quest for reason began.

The first order of business was to compile modern day evidence sources, which has already been done.

WARNING: Wall of Text, raw copy, may be hard or incoherent.)

(( So far, this is just a little thing I'm doing that I'd thought I'd share. I'll post more as I discover more, and hopefully I can find out why Jungletour was abandoned without looking too much into legends mode? :D ))

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Tavern / Church / Library Design Discussions!
« on: December 01, 2015, 08:12:51 pm »
Taverns and churches and libraries are so amazing, I thought we should discuss them!

My vision for my Tavern is something like a medieval hall of some sort, something like this??
(http://www.folger.edu/sites/default/files/003248_0.jpg)
Same kind of layout but with a long section of tables, on one side and the other side for performances, I'm working on the second story now.
I'm going to make one side with no balcony and that side will have a huge wall of masterwork engraves! :D

I love to see them singing and dancing!!!

I wanna have a huge circular library that spans several Z-levels, something like this?
(https://gigaom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/2011/04/87885327_b0db9347cf_z.png)
So excited for scholars to show up and research! ^-^

I could use some ideas for a church, since I can't think of a beautiful underground church being a thing.

;)

Jokes aside,
Who else is excited?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / First FUN Experience With Water
« on: June 16, 2015, 08:54:14 pm »
 :'(

I finally got my first magma forge area established, and thought that a quick way to the forge area would be a fantastic idea. (Too lazy to make a pump stack, they have to travel around 80 z levels to get to the forge)

Well this was going good, about 8 people picking away at the forge area while another is making the shortcut to the surface, when all of a sudden "You've discovered an expansive cavern deep underground!"

I thought I'd planned through all this, and it just so happened to have been right above my up down staircase, the beautiful underground ocean that then proceeded to flood the shortcut. I quickly tried to channel the water into the magma lake below, but they didn't do it fast enough and water poured in. Everyone evacuated but two people struggled and one person got swept into the water output area, so I had to disable the magma pump to get them out.

Very annoying, I lost all my progress on this area now and it's not economical to try to unflood the place, I just have to accept my loses and move on I guess. As long as it doesn't flood into the power section I can still recover my magma pump.

EDIT: It flooded over minutes after, I lost the magma pump. Back to step 1  :'( :'(

EDIT 2: Scratch that, somehow someway the system exploded and then began pumping. Power is running despite the entire floor being flooded. I guess if it's not broken, I don't have to fix it. Yay!

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Gelding Strike!
« on: May 20, 2015, 08:53:19 pm »
Today I was just rampaging in one of my cities when a mechanic guy decides to assault me back. We get into a truffle and he throws me to the floor and is on top of me. Out of desperation, I grab my spear and aim for his lower body and do a swift strike with my spear.

 :o

 :o :'(

Dear Christ.

I didn't at all intend for that to happen. Wow.

In the look screen, he's literally been gelded. It shows the "x o^ x" thing, which I didn't even know was possible. I feel so bad.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / My worlds SUCK!
« on: May 17, 2015, 12:09:27 pm »
Every single world I generate always is stuck in 1-2 ages, either "Age of myth" "Age of *megabeast*" or "Golden age."

No matter what I do I always end up with lackluster worlds! I want a world that goes from myth and cycles through lots of ages and may end up at civilization age, fairy tales, or something of the sort. Help!
