Okay so I got a highscore of 1200 something, after killing the boss.

The score doesn't reset on a new game.
The score doesn't reset/fall back to zero on death.

I didn't log in to my Newgrounds account, were you going to list highscores somewhere?

It sounds like your family is really unloading on your brother, you need to find a different outlet even if he is the one paying the bills.

I have just eaten z ham. Z ham is MINE.

What about Quinn? She has natural anti melee powers. A blind, a dash, some bonus damage.


At level 1 ADC are the most powerful unit in the game, excepting Fiddlesticks of course.

The thing about ADC top is that a tank or Asian(assassin) just has to wait patiently until they get a couple levels.
The important part is not CSing because it's not worth getting hit, until you can actually fight.

Later, you fight a very destructive duel with very little farming involved. You will be more useful midgame due to level scalings, while the ADC needs to get rich first. Why won't the ADC get rich first? because you don't die to them!

"What if I want to be good ar ALL THE THINGS?

Or at least very good at learning a la Paul Atreides. Yes I know he's fictional, fite me."

Spend all your free time training in assorted minor skills and abilities. Long enough to get good at said skill.

Like say, learn about fonts and make your own. Then spend time bouncing a ball off a wall. Then spend time looking for good conversational topics.
Nearly anything can be improved, and the wider your selection of these the more super man well rounded you will be.

Always dishing out your time to become better at something means having life skills that will last you forever.

Its incredibly easy to accumulate a list of small things to practice that means accumulating glory from those who see you excecute, confidence from raw ability, and a pool of skills to draw from in future endeavors that might not seem possible.

Pick and choose basically what seems most important or awesome to you, and don't loose sight of this goal.


I had the time of my life practicing minor skills!

My interest has waned, Take me off the list.

I would like a turn, don't mind which one.

With some luck, Sakzul Bekomast was able to rein in Acathi and is now dragging the dragon back to its restraints.



Bembul was most displeased with this recent mistreatment of his Dragon friend and was seen fervently praying for better leadership. I am most ashamed of these latest failures, but I hope to do better. I've come up with a plan to deal with our visitors down below. A "obsidianizer" (at least that's what the engineers call it) should be able to deal with the clowns we have. I've shared the spatial specifications with the miners who will start working on it soon.

But first, I need our miners to get started with expanding our food and drink stockpiles. With the recent slaughter of puppies, dogs and other domesticated animals to make way for our cave crocodile population, we have too much meat and offal to cook and store. So a good portion of it is rotting in the kitchens.
 



10th Moonstone


The expansion of the prepared food and drink stockpiles have been completed. Miners can now start working on the obsidianizer in earnest.



In other news, the workbench militia was disbanded. In its absence, we have a few new squads created to take its place. A screening of individuals concludes that some of the military are no longer fit to wield a weapon (well rather there is a growing concern that with their growing mental instability, their wielded weapons will be turned against us and not used to defend us) As such, Inod Razdumat was discharged from our military (with honors). As are Lorbam Tobulangen, Mebzuth Akiratis, Ablel Logemkivish, Zuglar Muthkatrag and Ushrir Keshmafol. All the best!

I took it upon myself to usurp take on the role of military commander. I appointed old hand Shem Zelernish as my deputy, after some shuffling about of positions and appointing some new hands, we tally around 19 in number.













As commander I sent everyone off to train while I got on with the massive task of melting all of the iron ore and the forging of proper dwarven steel (screw the wooden elf stuff) weapons and armor.

The magma cistern is prepared. All that is left to do is to clear the cistern of valuable building materials, like the gold ore and rock debris. Meanwhile, the rest of the populace is busy hauling corpses and elven trash to the incinerator for burning.


28th Moonstone


Zan showed off the first fruits of our endeavors at crafting decent weaponry for the new military; a ☼steel battle axe☼!


1st Opal

The haulers report that the south eastern part of the moat has frozen over, as has the brook on the southern end. This is somewhat worrisome as I'm afraid this will compromise our defenses. Fortunately, after further inspection I've determined that this is no cause for alarm. Besides even if the first line of defense is compromised, we still have a dragon that invaders have to contend with.
 

8th Opal





As reported earlier, the riots are getting out of hand. I've chosen to ride the troubles out though, which has gotten myself some disrepute with the more sane among us. Meng, our diagnoser and former broker is one of those that oppose me methods (during those rare times he is more lucid and not breaking furniture or sulking). Especially since I did nothing after I stood by while watching him get attacked by our own anger prone folk. Can't be helped, if you beat an offender down, 5 more rise up to take his place. What can be done really? As of now, he is most distressed and has petitioned for my removal. I'm not sure what to think of this.



Amidst the growing chaos, I've ordered the stockpiles expanded to accommodate our growing supply of mechanisms, weaponry and armor. Meanwhile, Bembul and the other animal trainers are busy taming the juvenile cave crocodiles. All 20 over of them.


Elsewhere, the preparations for the water cistern are ready with the water floodgates pulled up. We can begin to dig out the outlining wall now, and Dodok has been assigned this important task. In the meantime, the mayor demanded more hives built after we already finished making 3. Okay, I suppose I'm fine with the idea of having mead for meals.

It seems that the recruits are starting to train in the new barracks (situated above the temple) now. Excellent!


14th Opal




Ill news greets us this morning, Inod Razdumat has went insane. Well he ain't the first...



... surely he ain't going to be the last. I sense that Minkot, our mayor will join their ranks soon.



Finally Dodok arrives to clear out the conjoining wall that holds back the underground lake waters from our new water cistern.


Meanwhile, the miners are busy carving out the obsidianizer chambers. Elsewhere, life goes on in Workclenched.




23rd Opal







I checked back with Zan, whom had been working non-stop over a period of days to churn out more shiny ☼weaponry☼, but instead of wielding one of these fine emblems of dwarven warfare, I've instead chosen to wield a shiny blue spear. I've also received report that the conjoined chambers that lead into the obsidianizer have been dug out. All that is left is to dig out and furnish the chambers with retracting bridges to finish the design. I've sent some of our best mechanics to work on the task.



Oh hoh! Bembul reports that our new batch of cave crocodile hatchlings have been tamed.





2nd Obsidian.


A human announced its arrival. When I asked what business it had around these parts, it looked around sheepishly, muttering nothing of import, before skulking off, dragging its naked bum along with him. Are these the kind of visitors our temple is going to attract in the future? I hope not.

Reports are coming in that a certain Lokum Nisharom has risen from the great beyond and now haunts our halls, I did what any sensible dwarf would do and ordered the fella to be properly memorialized.




8th Obsidian
Woe is me! Zuglar and Cilob have been throwing tantrums, killing pets, toppling statues and chasing the outpost liaison around trying to initiate a fist fight. You can't beat them into submission or let them be. These nuts are just a nuisance to contend with!










17th Obsidian


Finally all the corpses from surface and the smiley cave on the southwest end have been gathered up and placed on the trash incinerator platform. I was told there were more corpses still (why am I not surprised) lying in vaults on the southeast end. No matter. The trash incinerator lever was pulled, and i watched as the magma and lava mist flared up as years of grown elven filth, corpses and junk of all kinds plummeted down into the magma below.

Good riddance.


22nd Obsidian

With the dumping orders completed, i lifted the ban on wood collecting which I was not aware of until recently. No wonder there was demand for wooden goods! The obsidianizer is coming along, albeit slowly. I've also been informed that due to my unruly track record with keeping the law enforced with the citizens (What citizens? They are all mad dwarves I tell you) I will soon be replaced with another overseer at the end of the year. Well whatever floats your boat, citizens of Workclench! The obsidianizer is not complete, and my successor will have to figure things out for themselves, for i don't think it possible to finish everything by the end of the year.

I've been told to surrender the official records, so here they are. Well whomever is taking my place, good luck and keep an eye (or two) on the crazy ones!





Well back to working on the forges!

Spring has arrived!

For the sake of convenience, here is the link to the save again.

Congratulations, you've been promoted to leader of fortress 2! I am skipping my turn, I just don't feel like playing Dwarf fortress lately
You need version 42.06

Alright turn received.

I plan to Make Number Go Up.
