Oh. Eventually, they'll have normal character graphics.



Pretty obviously Cave Story ripped though.

yay normal character graphics.
Also there is still a chance of the fairies getting wiped out during worldgen. This wouldn't be a problem if and only if I had gotten just ONE male fairy in a migrant wave. With the weighting at 1:5 I somehow got a wave of 22 females.

Whoever is next should be very very careful about digging.  There's about 9 levels of aquifer just waiting to flood the fort.

No thanks.

lolghurt cancels Take Turn: Interrupted by Real Life

So you want to cancel your turn?

I would like to be skipped, yes. But I am interested in taking later turns.

I approve.  Is it possible for us to get the world gen params and location by chance?

It is called a Major river. I've got plenty of maps with plenty of those. Look for double blue lines on the embark.
Best way to get them is put 800 rivers on world gen and maybe 400 on end. I usually get plenty of major rivers that way.

I have a lot of major rivers, and nothing like that.  It's always just valleys, sometimes a steeper canyon, but never sheer drops.  One of these rivers even winds around the map for some 1200 tiles, has 4 smaller major rivers merge into it, and drains a third of the world.  Still nothing.

Sheer drops is what you get when you turn off surface erosion cycles. Beware though, it can mess things up with smaller rivers going into big ones.
But at least you get nice big waterfalls that you don't see otherwise.

this probably doesn't count and probably isn't helpful since I'm using a modified versions of a mod (Cat caste ratio change, no aquifers, Gardens of Gensokyo), but I didn't change erosion cycles or anything. IIRC, it has the following changes from the medium region setting
Min Savagery: 20
Titan Number: 1000
Clown types: 75
Layers above ground: 5
Civs: 50
Cavern passage max density (the setting that decides how fractal your cavern is): 0
Years till worldgen stops: 150

You have a computer that can get 300 fps, and it's not powerful enough for you ?  World on a stick ? 

I will assume it won't work because I lack a graphics card.

Wait, what happened to  that weird thing I started work on but probably didn't finish, between the main fort and the bridge?

the dyable plants are a tad unnecessary for now, as there is no non-challenge reason to actually make, let alone color clothes. It's not like you can see the clothing colors anyway.
My civilians are power items, my military point items.
Will the nobles be eventually turned into faith items/whatever the green star represents?

The dyes are woodstains, so you can get the colored walls you want.

I don't think nobles can get a unique death sprite, they'll probably just turn into power items.

death sprite? uhhh, I'm talking about the tileset. even before death (you didn't pack the graphics folder I guess) civilian fairies are the power symbol and military are point items.

How wide is the river?
If it's wide enough, you could suspend a fortress along the length of the river.
It'd be way cool.

there's a second stream I missed out.
this is it (all empty squares are over water):
Now to harness the power of this water source. Anyone arriving on the south/west is fucked atm.
