DF Adventure Mode Discussion / So the head of my civilization turned out to be an Azure Devil Prisoner...
« on: October 21, 2011, 05:56:40 pm »
... And he joined me. No, seriously, he did. I have no idea how it happened, but I now have an Azure Devil (Smurf?) helping me with my adventures.
Apparently he looks like a giant fat scaly blue monkey that oozes poison.

Now to take on the world!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / So, uh... Suddenly kobolds.
« on: January 03, 2011, 06:00:34 am »
So I genned a pocket world and found there to be no dwarves. Delighting in the challenge, I embarked in a prime spot and found... Kobolds. LOTS of kobolds. And piles of large gems.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This is only half the trove by the way, there are over three and a half pages of kobold civilians. And by civilians I mean they all have knives, or in the case of the hunters, bows and crossbows.

I don't want to abandon, and they're not really harming my settlement, I'm just wondering if this means FBs will be turning up shortly.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / So the Siege comes and...
« on: November 02, 2010, 04:03:21 am »
Stalls.

When the gobbos showed up riding Giant Cave Swallows (All of them mind you), I started Flight of the Valkyries and prepared for Fun. BUT... They just sat there, they're STILL there, just kinda chilling on the edge of the map while their trolls walked into my traps and promptly colored the landscape blue. Not sure what to do about this...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Is fire breath broken?
« on: October 09, 2010, 11:19:14 pm »
So I got a FB recently that's supposed to be able to spew fire (Beware its fire!)... And it isn't. It's going near things, standing there and... Waiting. It's weird, it gets within firebreath range and then just stands there looking dumb, terrifying the bait horses I dropped near it to assess the dangers of the caverns.

Of course it's also a giant winged bristleworm so weird kinda goes with the territory I suppose, but has anyone else noticed a lack of firebreath in .16?

[EDIT]
Okay apparently it WILL breathe fire, if directly attacked. The stray horse grew a pair and charged the FB only to get a blast of fire. Still kinda strange though, used to be that things would breathe fire all the time.

DOUBLEEDIT!
Okay, it only breathes fire on itself for some reason, so the only way it can light things ablaze is if something tackles it.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Syndrome survival side-effect
« on: August 25, 2010, 01:50:46 pm »
So I had a FB spray my legendary speardwarf with some... FB goo or something. Dust I think. Anyway, he caught the flesh-rotting syndrome. I figure it's time to find a new militia commander, but I don't have the heart to take it away from him while he's laying in the hospital rotting away. I look away for a while, mopping up FB blood, overseeing some minor things, and he's up and around, as are all the other military dwarves who were sprayed with the stuff. I look in their description and apparently my epic doctor cut away all the rotting flesh, including the eyeballs, carefully and sewed up the wounds, leaving them blind and apparently immune to pain. They also moved a little faster since the doc cut away a lot of flesh, and are covered in stitches and scars. They succeeded in slaying every FB after that and never caught another syndrome. Except dying when I unleashed SPOILERS.

Anyone else had a dwarf survive a syndrome with similar effects? Or was this an alliterative aberration?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / And so the volcano froze... What?
« on: August 02, 2010, 04:51:20 am »
So anyway... I had found a nice place. Running water that's unfrozen all year, a volcano, and a perfectly square valley that amused me too much to NOT use. I was capping off my volcano, because that's what I do, with large amounts of water. After draining the water away, the last level of water, instead of evaporating, all froze quite suddenly.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The picture's after I decided to put my metalworking down there anyway, and had a little magma spill, but all around it is ice, with, and this is important, running water not a little ways off (off-screen). I tried digging down through it, that's the blocks of ice down at the bottom. Claimed one of my miners actually, so I decided to leave it be after that.
Is the mountain in a different temperature biome? I chose temperate deliberately after losing a fortress to frozen water.
Or... Am I just that cool?

[EDIT]
All the ice melted. Apparently the volcano's in a cold biome and the valley's in a temperate one. On the plus side I could make my freezing trap drop the frozen invaders into magma afterwards. Hmm...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / 40d: There is nothing to catch in the magma pipe.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So... My dwarves decided to fish in the magma pipe apparently. I wonder if this is a result of making them magma proof, if so, does that mean there ARE, somewhere, magma fish?
I tried searching the forums, but couldn't come up with any results of similar cases.

So.
Magma fish.
Silicon-based life-forms you can render down for mineral oil? Fish that menace with spikes of obsidian?
Curious if anyone's encountered any magma fish or some such, or if my encounter is merely a bug.
