DF Suggestions / Re: The formation of makeshift towns by invaders. (Lengthy)
« on: July 26, 2009, 08:24:38 pm »
ok, sounds cool. It's nice to actually get something done on here rather than just trolling through an endless list of ever-updating posts. So, where should we start? I think defining the objectives of the goblins is best, then we can begin to specify how to emulate those objectives.

ok, fair enough. I'm so disappointed with Blizzard. THey made Diablo 1 and 2, a whole host of other awesome games, and then WoW. did they decide to take leave of their senses in order to make a mindnumbing piece of trashy shite so that Diablo 3 would look better? :D

Rowan is in a constant state of internal rage.

But seriously, given what happens everywhere else, the retards and griefers appear and then a good game goes to shit because the sensible and visionary developers start pandering to a bunch of retards.

doubtful, a sensible developer would pander to such a thing, after all they will sell less in the long run.  a visionary developer also wouldn't due to the fact that he is catering towards a future demographic and not the current one.  either way you cut it, a game that panders to mmorpg players is developed from someone who is being neither sensible or visionary, and if it has any success then it is due to good marketing.

*cough* WoW *cough*

Does anyone else really want mounts to be implemented for our dwarves as well, so we can mount those champion axedwarves on champion Grizzly Bears and watch some old fashioned carnage?

That and you'll never run out of bones for projects.

Sigh... If only you could use bones and a building material, then my road of bones project would be possible.

Modding time?

So I would make it modular in a way that it could be a prison or nobility homes or something later yet still be a functional temporary fortress.

So I would make it modular in a way that it could be a prison AND nobility homes or something later yet still be a functional temporary fortress.

Fixed.

DF Modding / Re: New Vehicles?
« on: July 26, 2009, 07:47:18 pm »
I had a thought recently and this seems the right place to mention it. Can't you mod dragon stats onto a wagon, or add a 3x3 tile size to a pre-existing dragon to create a proper dragon?

Any news on the Mac OS X version?

P.S. chmod, you have an INCREDIBLY geeky name, so much respect to you.

DF General Discussion / Re: So, why is the Bay12 Dwarf Fortress website still so terrible?
« on: July 26, 2009, 07:41:17 pm »
Creating a homepage befitting the quality of DF is impossible, and as it is it's nice and easy to navigate. At no point did I think "Egad! This is horrible, I have decided not to even look at the game" rather I clicked on the helpfully entitled links and followed the mind numbingly simple procedure for downloading and playing on my Mac. Anyone using the internet knows how impossibly difficult some things can be, from setting up a third party IDE to googlewhacking. The fact that I don't have to have a degree in computing sciences to find whatever I want whenever I want it is a testament to what should not change. If they want to make it pretty, so be it, but I'd rather read another Threetoe story or get another update.

I believe the phrase is "Two birds, one stone".

Another appropriate phrase might be "get the hell away from me, you monster".

Nomnomnom

When I grow old and toothless I will ask my dentist for microcline dentures, and (because DF will be the national sport of the New World Government) he will tell me to fuck my microcline (dentures)... :D

Yeah. Regular computers solved that problem about 10 years ago using an elegant solution created by some guy with too much time on his hands.
