Forgive this heresy folks, I know losing olis fun and all, but what about a way to actually WIN the game?
No.  Winning is relative, and losing is inevitable.  Turns out thats how life works too.

The deepness deepens...

Thank you! Though I fear that some of this "research" will go to waste when the next version with its 119 emotions rolls in. I'd guess at least the combat hardness value will be scrapped at that point.

I wonder if the emotion calculations will be retroactive? In that case I'll probably have a fortress full of frothing insane super soldiers, driven berserk by childhood traumas. What FUN!!!

I'm hopeful that it just adds another layer we have to overcome, but doesn't do away with all our !!SCIENCE!!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: I'm going to hell - how & why my dwarfs now kill their own babies

This is deliciously evil, yet useful.

I'd like to one day see a mod where dwarves could equip babies as armor. Like baby helmets, gauntlets, shin guards, etc.

All strapped on with a bit of rope =D

I think this would be awesome. Plus, your god could call you to a crusade against another civilization that has another god. Although this may lead you to being attacked by other dwarven civs.

You could however, join up with a crusading army and fight in their grand battle once they reach their destination.

Like, you talk with the leader of the group, and may be allowed to join (if they permit you to). Maybe you'll have to prove your dedication to their god. I'm not sure.

On the other side, maybe it's well known in the world that there's a crusade occurring, and that they say "the army of Urist McLionheart is marching on a glorious crusade to the fortress of xxxx" and you decide to defend the fortress. So, you travel to the fortress, and speak with the leader. Then you can join the defense when they come!

Then get rewarded or something. i'm not sure. Just an idea!

Its not like you have sterile tools or even a god way to stop the bleeding.
Yeah, gods don't really answer prayers right now. Though, I guess fast travel could be considered supernatural healing.

The last time I cried out to my god, he crashed the game. I don't know if that was an answered prayer, or not.

I think actual heresy would be interesting. For example, it leads to your Dwarf being cursed, as it says in the Legends Mode. So basically, there is always a threat of a vampire or were-beast.

I don't want that, honestly, but I feel like that would be a possible implementation.

I like this idea. Would make more sense to have guards posted everywhere, as well.

I always figured it had something to do with Cthulhu...
Oh, thought rewrite?  Yeah, there's a new skill added to the doctor group called Brainwashing.
Didn't Toady fix the bug where dwarves would try to clean missing body parts?

I see what you did there....

Canine Kung Fu.

Why don't Forgotten Beasts attack each other?

I actually had a Forgotten Beast kill another Forgotten Beast on my Glacial Tundra Fortress.

I forgot to check this for a week or so. That last update was giving me some Heinlein vibes there.

Aw Plumpy's hand :'(

Replace his fingers with plump helmets, it'll probably work.

I'm sure it will grow back! :)

« on: September 24, 2014, 02:47:56 pm »
What really ticks me off is how dwarves have to bring the bin in question to the item they are picking up. Same with those dang plant barrels. It makes no sense.

Granted this is Dwarf Fortress, I know, and Dwarves do dwarfy things...

inb4 The Elves are actually stealth weremammoths!

I do +1 having a stealth weremammoth involved at some point, though.

Dude...what if Reg Pashmad is the stealth weremammoth and even she doesn't know it? It would be the last thing we'd expect.

What if our littlest cheesemaker has the beast blood? What if that's why her father didn't want her to leave? He could control her transformation at the mountainhomes, due to some "magic" or something. Or that he could contain her, as he himself has the beast blood, but can control it better?

Or maybe he just had her locked in her room on the full moon or something.

That said, not a fan of the whole werebeast idea.

I was joking originally, hoping that someone would have gotten the reference to another forum from a few months ago... but I'd be rather pleased to see something like this eventually haha. Even if it's just a random picture, not part of the story.
