Life Advice / Re: How to get a girlfriend

Gaah, I suspect that my school was abnormally higher testosterone levels compared to everyone else's, since you guys didn't seem to have any other problems.
Well, besides sonerohi's, but that incident sounds more like an unusual thing than something with the risk of happening every week. Also it doesn't sound like it was caused by testosterone.

Snapping turtles are insane. They have beaks that could probably chop off a finger, but I think they usually spring for fish?
Chickens like eating smaller birds too. Birds just like meat, period.

You underestimate the depravity of dwarves.
Even I didn't think they could sink so low.

In this game?
Most of us do act like crazies, and that's without the corrupting influence of any powerful artifacts.
Imagine what it would be like if we did!

I ended up fighting a zombie titan with my most recent adventurer, with iron equipment.
And won.
Technically I didn't win, I just set trees on fire and watched her burn, but still.
I probably should draw that, since this is a draw your adventures thread...

DF Suggestions / Re: Item descriptions and Artwork in colour
« on: August 04, 2009, 07:02:46 am »
I dunno, it seems like it would hurt the eyes if there were too many colors around 
. Sure it's useful in Adventure mode, where each event type has a corresponding color (attack, injured, mangled) but looking at the log is painful.

OHYES I want to see water-based megabeasts.
Add in the fact that the ocean has all the biggest creatures in real life, and island/seaside based forts are in for a load of Fun!

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: interface issues: ignoring the leather type
« on: August 04, 2009, 04:10:04 am »Unfortunately it doesn't confer any protection on the dwarves. I hope that will be added in.I've never actually modded anything, but would there be a way to change the "skin" dropped from an animal to just be a generic piece of skin? Thus it turns into a generic piece of leather, and problem solved.
Also, you'll only need chain/plate when you start meeting the Crossbow Lords the gobbos send at you. Ther are many horror stories of them taking down entire squads of marksdwarves who are three z levels up and behind fortifications.
No, leather inherits certain qualities from the creature it comes from. Fire imp leather, for example, will not burn in fire/magma.
Really? That could be useful. Does it protect dwarven feet from magma? Or does it just refuse to get set on fire, but has no use beyond that?
Hmmm... so the fire imp leather items themselves don't burn but the dwarf does?
If you think about it that kinda makes sense. The leather is tough enough to resist burning but that doesn't mean it doesn't conduct the heat. Also the dwarf can't possibly wear a leather bodysuit so he ends up dying from the convection.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Dead Dwarves Own Stuff?
« on: August 04, 2009, 02:40:18 am »Actually, if I recall correctly, when you add stuff to the tomb the dead dwarf is now shown to own it.
This is going to come into play once necromancy comes back, I'm certain of it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Fortresses Best Soldier
« on: August 04, 2009, 02:21:41 am »By unexpected, I meant people you thought were gonna die but survived through the ambush/siege
Well... the husband of the dwarf I posted above was surprisingly alive when I killed a goblin local leader.
Because I didn't want my mostly female champion squad dragging babies into battle and getting them shot out of their arms, I decided to remove the source of the problem. Most of the husbands of the champions were in professions I had no use for (dyer, extra stone/wood/bonecrafters besides my legendaries). So I drafted them into a fifteen-dwarf cannon fodder squad to get rid of them and get some use out of them at the same time (draw crossbow fire while my champions close in). I got hit by a siege shortly after that so I sent then against the Hammer Lord's group (which was mostly swordsgoblins) fully expecting them to get slaughtered. Lo and behold when I checked them over: the Hammer Lord was being stomped on by the five surviving husbands.
They get a collective "best" from me because I sent them out against better soldiers with the intention of getting rid of them but they won through!

I don't have the attention to read TVTropes.
At least you won't die of thirst like the rest of us.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Elfs and trees
« on: August 03, 2009, 09:00:14 pm »Who started the elf hating craze in the first place?
I'm pretty sure it dates from way back in the 2D days.
I remember Boatmurdered had a lot of elf-hatery.
Also elf-hatery isn't unique to DF.
