So they randomly picked the guy who didn't want the job. How dwarven!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Unwilling Leader!
« on: November 26, 2009, 05:28:28 am »
My leader has a quality.
'He prefers that others handle the leadership roles.' I laughed when I saw it. What did my dwarves do, draw straws?
"Okay, who wants to be the leader? ... No one? Draw straws."
*several straws later*
"CARP I DON'T WANT TO BE THE LEADER"
"YOU'RE THE LEADER AND YOU'LL LIKE IT."

I had an engraving titled 'The Unspeakable Tactic'. It was my Sheriff striking down a named Troglodyte. I'm not sure I want to know HOW he did it, though...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: The Underworld Challenge
« on: November 26, 2009, 03:49:46 am »I apologize for double posting. But this is relevant. I've hit a snag. Apparently one of the compressed files in the save file has been corrupted. This means I will have to start from scratch at BEST unless I can do something. Any ideas? The thing suggests using a back up if available, but I haven't save scummed this fort yet, haven't needed too. Is there something I can do?
As a precaution against not having back-up saves (even if just for SRS ERROR CAN'T PROCEED) is turning the init settings for backups on.
[AUTOSAVE:SEASONAL] Saves the game every season-change
[AUTOBACKUP:YES] Saves a completely different folder every time it auto-saves
[AUTOSAVE_PAUSE:YES] will pause the game to tell you it's saving. I find this useful to stop me so I know when a season has just ended.

This principle is behind how you can make water on a glacier map (granted you have magma). It can be useful!

You can use magma to melt ice, if you have any on the map.

Ooh, ooh, so I could have all the males be some sort of lazy blob, and all the females invincible super-dwarves?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Adventurer-Oriented Fortresses
« on: November 25, 2009, 02:01:07 am »I like this idea. Maybe I'll create a labyrinth in this fortress only accessable by a 1 Z level fall, so there's no turning back once you go through. In the labyrinth maybe I'll toss in a few Giant Eagles in chains that I've bought from elves/caught in cages and some armed gobbos. Some scenery like a narrow bridge through a pit around 5 Z-levels deep with some spears and spikes at the bottom, too.Unfortunately, all your chained/caged animals seem to die on abandon. Whenever I go back, no matter how quick I was, they're always corpses. Sometimes they're not even rotting yet.

I think we need to get back to the matter of dwarven drop pods.
Gentlemen, we need our dwarven Spehss Mahreens.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Stopping worldgen early?
« on: November 23, 2009, 09:09:09 pm »
You could also go to the advanced world gen, go to the option labelled 'Percentage Beasts Dead for Stoppage' and put it at 0.
Then, go to the next option down, 'Year to Begin Checking Megabeast Percentage', put it to your year of choice. The world will stop on that date. It's best to put it early for all the megabeasts.

Have you seen any throat-slitting? I hear brooms are more deadly than the sharpest of blades.
