DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: most embarrassing death
« on: January 10, 2007, 11:05:00 am »
The most worse death was mine! It was my first adventurer, after four months (IRL) of dwarf fortress, on the SAME fortress (and I even do not crossed the river, great fortress  :) My dwarves got tantruming and I decided to finally "test" the adventurer mode...

I used the "Start Now!" thing, walked to my farm, pushed the lever, and started to walk on the water, to see how the game behaves...

Result after walking around for some time:
You drowned.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Gruesome Deaths And Successful Saves
« on: January 10, 2007, 10:50:00 am »
Well.. First off: This death was not mine, it was from the most amazing "normal" axeman that I ever saw...

The ruler of a human kingdom, asked me to kill a skeleton (in a funny phrase...)

There are a place named Paperwell
In 1063 the Frameletter from Paperwell killed Enum
Kill Odominak from Paperwell

I went to hunt the Odominak... With a single Axemen to help, he was crazy, fast and insane, he started to run around killing everyone, we nearly cleaned everything, with me killing only about 2 zombies and 3 skeletons, he killed WITHOUT help 7 zombies, and 13 skeletons (I do not know how...)

I entered the tower, and he went around running and killing things outside of my view...
Then I saw the messages of he attacking a zombie, and getting his axe stuck on the zombie...

Then he started to twist the axe, while I was desesperate searching for him before the zombie kills him...

The zombie do not made any damage to him, I knew that I was close (later I discovered that he was in the floor below) and then this message:

A <Iron> fly though Axeman.
Axeman was been struck down.

Then I imaginated: Damn... WTF was that?
And then i saw it... The Odominak, was a Elite Skeleton Bowman...

He saw me, and shot me at the head, and MISSED!

Then he shot my leg, and nearly ripped the leg off, I then done only one move, and my axe chopped his head off, I saw a item on the ground, walked near it, and the game crashed after 2 hours playing without saving...


Now the second history:
I was killing everything on a sewer (cave named sewer), then a giant mole apeared, and in his first attack managed to rip off my left arm, I then hacked the front leg of the mole off, the mole ripped my foot off, I hacked another front leg of the mole off, then the mole got latched in my lower body, then I latched my axe in the mole upper body, I started to twist the axe, and the mole to shake me, after some turns the mole went uncounsious I removed the axe, and came to the finishing blow, I hacked another leg off...
Then he mole got "alive" again (in the next turn, yes!) and got my throat, and ripped it away...

:(

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Training Military Dwarves
« on: January 10, 2007, 07:32:00 am »
Well... My first post after lurking around in the forum for some time...

I was wondering the same, my novice marksdwarves never got beywond that. I had plenty of marksdwards and some axedwarves and a  single wrestler that was in fact a swordsman that got the wrestling skill more highter than his swordsman skill.

Then it happened: I never saw a siege, but kobolds and goblins started to invade my fortress over and over, only thieves, snathers, etc...

This made two marksdwarves go beyond novice, and stop on skilled...

Then it happened: I got 4 snakeman ambushes in a row, they killed all the butchers, that was near the river hauling things for the miners in the winter... And I do not noticed that...

After some time, I ran out of meat, then I ran out of plant because I do not know why, but my dwarves are lazy to harvest (they fill in plots with seeds, and do not harvest until the winter comes and everything go away) so dwarves started to tantrum, a dwarf crossed the cave river without a bridge (I still wonder how he done that) and died at the other side by lack of food before I could make a bridge to save him, and my lazy military dwarves continued lazy, without training, and now ignoring completly the thieves and snathers that mananged to kill all my childs...

Then a giant toad came, I assigned all dwarves to kill him, and the lazy military stood behind and allowed the recruits to attack him first... 10 dwarves died before the marksdwarves arrived to kill the toad.

The cave river then flooded, and two of my legendary artiact maker dwarves and the two most important dwarves in my fortess, both of them were day one dwarves, and both of them made together 30% of my wealth, and they both knew how to butcher and plant and produced 20% of all the food died in the flood...

I knew that this fortress was beyond repair and left it...

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: What have you learned from playing Dwarf Fortress?
« on: January 17, 2007, 01:24:00 pm »
Naaah... Bowmans suck... Giant Serrated Disc throwers are more evil...

If you are a legendary thrower, a Giant Serrated Disc can kill ANYTHING in his path, with only a single blow that will make body parts fly everywhere (fun!)

I learned, that when you break the brain of someone, the person still thinks like before the brain got broken...

DF Suggestions / Evil Last Pit Demon Suggestion
« on: January 10, 2007, 11:46:00 am »
Instead of ending the fortress, make digging adamantium, really spawn the demon in dwarf fortress mode  :)

The demon will be strong enough to kill about 30 legendary uber powerfull dwarves with lengendary equipment.

If you survive, the dwarves that saw the demon will get insane or in any mood  :)
This mean: You can get a couple of arts, and a couple of deads too...  :) ) after 10 years, the "Nameless One" will show up, all the dwarves that see it will have 50% of chance on the first time to get panicked and flee to the outside, if he beats everyone, or if 2/3 of your dwarves to panicked, you get the "too deep" message. If you survive, you can continue playing forever  :)

I am sure that these can be intersting fights
