Honestly, I've just talked to a friend that I've known for a long time, and he started explaining to me for no reason whatsover on how the entire holocaust was some sort of conspiracy, and that the actual death toll was something around 600, as stated by some dubious official record.

I do not get how people can be incredibly ignorant about this event, and still find some way to support their claims despite the overwhelming evidence otherwise. This is making me lose my faith in humanity.


Make me.

Dragons. Lots of them. They'd all be different species with different biomes and stuff. Here are a few of my ideas.

Red Dragon (D): The basic, fire breathing dragon. It's going to be the same as the current dragon except if Toady gives them different color scales, I'll change that to making them only red.

Green Dragon (D): Forest dragons. They are slightly smaller and faster than red dragons, and breathe stun poison. Elves would be immune to their poison effects.

Gold Dragon (D): These would shoot globs of molten gold and chunks of gold at you. Their scales are made of solid gold.

Iron Dragon (D): Mountain dragons. They don't breathe anything, but their scales/claws/teeth are made of iron. Dwarves are the best at taking these out since they have steel and adamantine.

Wood Dragon (D): These dragons are wild, non-megabeast animals. They are created by elves and are made of solid wood. They are immune to pain and stuff, but are small and have no breath.

Why not just go with the DnD set of dragons?
It works perfectly for me in games.

Abandonware is not a legal term, the copyright still holds it as property of whoever it says owns it till it expires.

Abandonware = Piracy under a more friendly name, and still illegal.

"Nice" new avatar.



Too bad Underdogs went down, or you could've got DK from there.
If you want, I could make a zip for you and upload it.

It's kind of a preference thing in my opinion, DK2 makes the change to 3d and some balancing and features are added and shifted around.

DK 1 is easier to get running though, and there are one or two things in DK2 I just didn't like, e.g. horny.

Horny is awesome in #1, he always rages and destroys everything.
At least when I have him, I don't bother making him happy.

I want my drow to shoot posion darts.

It's not enough that they are invisible and deadly, now they will have the most annoying weapon.

I could always put it in your 7x5 study if you prefer. Not much but its a bit bigger.

Sounds interesting though I'll probably have to fiddle a bit before I find a plan that looks right.

I already have it laid out, but I'm not quite satisfied with it.

I remember Migrursut using that. And after seeing what that one did I'm not going to try and copy it until I'm better with water/magma work. Though that could be an interesting idea...  ;D

Also its good to hear that you solved your mural problem since our Human Liason has yet to arrive

The only issue is that 5x5 is rather limiting, but I have a rough idea of one.
How does this sound, a mountain of gabbro, topped with silver for snow, with a tin background?

hmm... new amenity! showers! make a 9x9 box out of silver, with a floodgate as the center roof tile. keep the center hollow, and have a glass door leading to the outside. set up an ingenious system that only allows 4/7 units of water to fall upon the waiting dwarf through the floodgate. (this could be used to remove vomit/blood/mud stains)

As an added bonus, have a room with a magmafall in the center that dwarves walk through to get out of the shower complex. this would be used to remove the 'water covering' that is left from the shower.

Didn't Migrursut do something like that?
And it ended up flooding like half the fort?


And tin sounds great, I guess I will use that.

Damn, for my mural I need microline or another blue stone.

Why not use Nickel? or another of the blue-green metal construction materials.

edit: actually, nickel may be grey in construction, the wiki is a little vague. Lay Pewter is a dark blue green though. I know from my community fort.

I thought nickel was light grey/white.

on the subject of dragons vomiting, what if toady made their (or some other megabeasts) blood or vomit acidic, aka the aliens films? with multiple z levels its entirely possible that their body fluids could create a great big hole in the ground, and melt your nearby champions and eat gaps into the roof of your dining room, disolving your peasants and things. that would be more challenging, damned if you let it alone, damned if you kill it. and different materials/armor/weapons could have different levels of resistance to acid. ooh, i like this idea.

Black Dragon?
I am still waiting for the ability to add in those lovely acid spitting critters.
