I don't know if your adamantine colossus would've done anything to change it, but did you use x and then aquired abilities? That's where the animate corpse option is.

Is there any way to control a dwarf like in adventure mode, but in fortress mode? I'd love to chain this guy up, make sure he's on one spot, walk over with my axe dwarf, and cut off a hand, switch over to the vampire, and place him in the water. Infinite blood, since I've never seen a vampire die of blood loss. I was a vampire adventurer once, and lost a leg and an arm, didn't die of blood loss.

So I just put a hole through this guys upper body twice for no reason? Damn. And nobody wonders how this guy is alive. Both his lungs have exploded in gore, his heart is cut open, and all his ribs are broken.

Update: The iron ballista bolt through the chest barely made any blood, and the vampire is still happily alive. No blood was spread through the water, so I'll try placing him directly beside the river, then sending another bolt through his chest. Without lungs and a heart, he's totally fine. Dayum, vampires are tough.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Vampirum Fortress?
« on: September 08, 2014, 10:52:14 pm »
So, I've been told it's possible to make a fortress of vampires. I'm trying to set it up now: I have a vampire near the canal, which is pumping from a river, the canal is for a well, and the vampire is surrounded by fortifications, with a ballista aimed at him. So if I forbid all beer, will the thirsty dwarves come drink the vampire infected water? I'll stop letting them drink the vampire water once I have 100 vampire dwarves, I'll unforbid all the alcohol,  so any blood sacks useless migrants I MEAN NORMAL PEOPLE show up to my fortress, containing the well of immortality, they'll be a food supply. My fortress is extremely rich, full of steel, gold, bismuth bronze, and cotton candy, not to mention tons of emeralds, sapphires, multiple diamonds, and rubies. I have a magma facility running, and really, everything else, even defense, is being rather neglected, for a booming metal industry. All I have for defense is a five z's deep, four wide ditch with cage traps and stray grizzlies in the bottom. So who thinks it's a good idea to have a metal rich vampiric fortress?

They can drop things for your fortress on that grounds! I just embarked on the same spot where my adventurer went down fighting an ambush with an arrow between his head. I checked around, and found one still alive companion, apparently guarding my corpse.

Alright. I guess that'd make it look less choppy. I miss having 100 FPS....

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / I've been betrayed by myself.
« on: September 08, 2014, 07:16:44 pm »
I made a rather strong dwarf adventurer, and went around slaughtering every goblin in every town, hamlet, hillock, fortress, and city I could find. When I'd gone to every one of those, killing every goblin, I charged a few dark pits. Killed the goblins in these. My biggest achievement was to be charging through a dark fortress, cutting through the goblins with as many companions as possible, and killing their leader/demon king. FPS dropped horrendously near the Underworld Spire, mostly because some army was departing. I started killing them, losing half my companions. When I finally killed about a fifth of the army, my FPS was about five. So I retired. Then I go on, assuming my dwarf was basically struck down as soon as the AI took over. But no. HE'S LEADING THEIR ARMIES!!! I have been betrayed by myself, and I may have to strike myself down. In a time before time, I killed myself.

DF Suggestions / Re: Have stuff be invented and be unique in that world.

Well having only be slight deviations from the normal set would actually be good. I thought you meant they start from nothing, and try to work their way up. But starting with the basics, like a short sword, bow, pickaxe, axe, shield, and some basic armour, and have different routes for them to take based on resources, preferences, and events, this would work great.

Don't go with the Acer or Lenovo. I have both of those, 50 FPS is the normal max.

A tough demon is stronger than a siege, with a bunch of cave dragons... And some people have conquered Hell. It's too bad we can't tame and train captured demons.

Every single migrant who showed up for the first two years were shoved into either plant gathering, mining, or masonry.

He said himself multiple times that Dwarf Fortress is not on Earth. Each planet has completely different natural resources. Maybe the planet/plain of existence has a higher amount of aluminum than Earth? Stop thinking of it like Earth, and just accept that aluminum belongs, because not every world is exactly the same as Earth.

He was either possessed or in a macabre mood.
My best artifact(s) were a steel long sword, with an image of a steel shield in platinum, and a steel shield, with an image of a steel long sword in platinum. Matching sword and shield!
