This is relevant?
It is.

If DF, could use Large Addresss for memory, take advantage whats in 64 bit OS, in 32 OS environments, it'll allow DF to goggle up more memory, which intern allows for just larger fortresses, or let smaller fortresses run even better.

Ah, i see.


Also, in turn*.

Also, you don't, need all, those, commas :P.

These used to be the same dwarf, then he got caught in the Rain


That's... pretty disturbing looking. Yet pretty amazing.

Looks like something from the Diablo games...

Nah.

If they get afflicted by gloom they wuill turn into soulless and bloodles monsters that probably won't fight with each other.
And acid/poison rain while it might kill them... they will rise up again as undead because of the evil biomes new properties.

Simply put... a pit full of magma is the only reliable way of invader disposal in evil biomes.

Both are kind of the point. Even if the Husks (or Zombies, in case of the death by rain) don't fight eachother, they'll still fight anyone else in there. I'll have magma or crossbows on hand to deal with them when i want to snag the loot, but the whole point of the thing will be for it to act as a blender, like we used to do with animals until now when they attack eachother if they can't move away.

I don't know if that's concept art or not, but those were used as actual sprites in the freeware remake of the first game, X-COM: The Two Sides (which sadly has been put on hold due to legality issues. Too bad, because as far as i can tell TTS was a pretty faithful remake, only the sprites were updated and you could mod in the original EU sprites if you so desired).

On-topic, SQUEE! As far as i know Firaxis does actually trace back to MicroProse, so i see no reason why they'd fuck this up.

perhaps their goal is to arrive and collect some XXX and bring it with them.
Did you mean like, X as a variable, or X as porn?

You didn't know? Them spacemen like the dorf porn.

Especially the ones involving the Tentacle Demons from 40d.

Quote from: Dev log
The fisherdwarf got caught up in an eerie gloom and turned into a cursed bloodless husk that attacked his old buddies and pets. That variety of weather only takes up a slowly moving area about 40 tiles across. The troubling rain is harder to avoid but can only have mild poisonous effects. Of course, these things happen exclusively in bad, bad places, so you can avoid this sort of problem by just not embarking in the hell-on-earth spots. Carrying on with other miscellaneous issues next.

Naturally, i'm already imagining weaponizing them via trapping hostiles somewhere open and letting the gloom and/or poison rain deal with them.

WinRar. Just, WinRar. When the trial thing runs out, whenever you load WinRar up and you get the pop-up screen saying the trial's run out or whatever, click the "x" on the top-right of the little pop-up screen to close it, and you're good till you open WinRar up again and just gotta close the pop-up again.

Clearly he arrived, took one look at the clusterfuck slaughterhouse of a fort that you have if you're any kind of Bay12-er, and dropped dead from horror.
