DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Worst Injury you have survived?
« on: November 19, 2007, 10:57:00 am »
Lost my arm several times in the old version, but never got out of the area before dying of thirst or starvation. In the current version I could just (T)ravel away without worrying about one action -> unconsciousness, so I guess I'll see a few one-armed adventurers soon enough.

The mayor should first say "Amazing, you succeeded! You are a champion." or something like that, and then give you a new task if you talk about service. Not immediately when you report.

Yes:

If you walk around a corner in a dungeon, and see TWO giant cave spiders next to a disembered & mutilated swordsman's body, don't take that one more curious step forward.

You can somehow navigate in towns by checking the place-name at the lower panel. If the name of the town changes to something else, you're going to wrong direction.

As for finding caves and dungeons:

At least narrows the search a bit.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Some towns severely overpopulated?
« on: October 31, 2007, 07:20:00 pm »
This is the second time I've stumped upon this, might be a migrant group? Tens of dwarves, maybe well over hundred, in a human town. I'm surprised that they can support that many. Couldn't get a clear screenshot of it, but...

All the other towns seem to be underpopulated, though, with only ~one recruitable party member.

Ah well, it took a long time to find the entrance, but at least it can't be missed that easily anymore when it's finally on the screen.

I did walk there with the T-map, but when zooming to the area itself where the cave should be, there's no clue where to go. The position where the character appears there seems to be random, so how exactly can you look for a central O?

Edit: Might be just bad luck though, I tried the adventurer mode only once.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Finding a cave in the new version
« on: October 29, 2007, 06:02:00 pm »
Just downloaded the new version and started a game in the adventurer mode. With my character starting straight from the inn, I offered my service to the mayor, and got the regular cyclops slaying quest. The problem is that at these "Mines of Focus", I can't find the cave entrance! There are no clues of it's direction in the area itself, and with these new seamless transitions I could easily wander to other sites instead of carefully exploring the specific zone like in the previous versions.

Yeah, I'm sure that everyone is new to this version, but when someone figures it out, it would be nice to know. Also, sorry if this is supposed to be in the Gameplay Discussion -category.

'kay, didn't see any reports in the first few pages of bug reports, and wasn't sure.

I created a new 65x65 world, and came across this:

That or temporarily removing all of the stone stockpiles should help.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: We, as dwarves, need to treat our prisoners better
« on: March 08, 2008, 05:03:00 am »
They don't actually sleep in those beds, do they? Nor eat anything if you give it to them? I wonder if these sieging/ambushing goblins could be made to eat/sleep like normal beings. Would be cool if the sieging army "camped" outside your fortress, and after that you could ambush their flank.

But hey, great idea. This has really opened my eyes!

Seems that it isn't.  :(

Oh well, those goblins were too much already.

Goblin ambush threatened to stop my careful experimentation, but I managed to cause the cave-in. It didn't drop any solid stone on the lower passage though, only loads of dug microline. Can that alone stop the water?

Interesting. I'll try that, thanks.
