Modding dwarves so that they're made completely out of adamantine...

I haven't actually done it, but when I manage to figure out how mats work... Mark my words, I will! They'll be better than your silly cripples! MUAHAHA!
Not in unarmed combat they won't, unless they now have super OP scratches and bites

Adamantine is meant to be OP, since it's end game material that's hard to acquire.

Pretty sure throwing did get nerfed, but definitely needs more. Really there needs to be a carry limit so dwarves can't just hurl giant sperm whale corpses.

Tactical lead stockpiles on all major routes for emergency dwarf powered blunderbuss. It'd give throwing a use in dwarf mode beyond tantrums as well.

DF Suggestions / Civilian combat options
« on: January 05, 2014, 12:32:34 am »
I think in the military screen you should be able to set civilian responses to combat. For example pick up and throw nearby objects attackers, flee, or carry small weapons (knives, daggers etc. the way humans do in adventure mode). And perhaps not all dwarves would obey these, simple opting to run away. It'd make it a trade off since you'd gain a useful defensive resource, but they'd be inaccurate, could injure others and simply make a mess.

DFHack has a "fixdiplomats" command that makes the elves bring a diplomat, I'm fairly sure you can order pets from them like any other good.

I'm playing a 4th year fortress on a world with a huge number of megabeasts, just got my first dragon. Several werecreatures and sieges prior.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / An observation of fluid behaviour
« on: December 29, 2013, 10:52:24 pm »
I noticed just now that if you drain a small amount of magma from a larger amount (the magma sea) you obviously get a few lower tiles, displayed as 6. The thing I noticed was as the game tried to even out the 6s, it tried to do them all in the same direction. This may be hard to visualise so

7777777777and so forth, for a seemingly random, but prolonged duration, until it would change direction. I assume the game decides every ~20 frames a random direction to level the liquids in, applys that to all tiles, and chooses another. Has this been found before/explained?

DF Suggestions / Re: Make leather armour useful
« on: December 27, 2013, 09:37:58 pm »
I knew you could wear large amounts of cloaks, and doing so does indeed reduce the effect of blows. However a steel short sword skill-less dwarf vs an iron clad, armour master w/6 cloaks and iron sword resulted in a result that favoured the armoured dwarf slightly, but they would still often receive cuts down to bone and/or organ damage.
My complaint is mostly about the gross negligence of shape that the df combat system has, ie. a piece of armour is not a flat surface, it's sloped, so blades should glance off based on that, instead the combat system calculates it based purely on material. Leather is about as good as skin at stopping attack, so I think that needs a rebalance.

I like the idea of being able to tell someone to create statues and engravings about someone in particular.
Good idea in general as well.

I think AIs already use any available interaction all the time.

dragon leads a siege
breathes fire
1/3 of the siege is dead from fire or lack of shield

My addition does indeed alter the dragon's living abilities.
Teeth use a different material than bone, so to alter that as well you need [PLUS_MATERIAL:TOOTH]
Weapons and armour should be between steel and iron, and very light. I haven't tested this yet though. Additionally if you made the bones very heavy it would make the claw strikes throw opponents very far.
