You wouldn't have to worry about the Zombie Slugmen at least, the vamp should make quick work of them :)

I hope that'll be possible in DF when magic's in.

Been playing Genesis mod for the first time, and I was sent to kill my first Balor. Excited, I recruited 2 guys to join me, and went to its shrine. When it came into view, I started throwing a few bolts at it to perhaps give it a small wound of some kind. First my adequate throwing naga missed for a few turns, but then. "Balor has been shot and killed." Tore his soulgem, which apparently is something the Balor needs... A bit of an anti-climax  :P

What can I say, one too many ambushes gets to you... Notice he's still conscious :P

Seems like throwing stuff is very effective. I run around knapping stones for throwing at enemies, if one gets in a good hit they start running, warlord or not... Haven't tried versus really big stuff yet though. Most funny thing I did was throwing a pick that stuck in a warlord's mouth from 10 squares off :) I think I'll go with more Close Combat though, feels like I'm sidestepping the no armor challenge. But whenever I do that, I die :( I've had like 10 adventurers throughout the day, that's what you get for not training on weak beasts or by yourself I guess...

I'm so doing this!


EDIT: After killing 5 night creatures stark naked (no luck finding  a loincloth :( ), Sverre met his doom at the hands of a bogeyman. Earlier he had been ambushed by 6 wolves that made him dodge into a murky pool taking 2 wolves with him. With incredible effort, he fought off the rabid wolves, got out of the pool and went on with his travels, sensory and motor nerve in the right hand severed, but somehow still holding his axe and shield high.
Now it's time to try again! :p

I would love Goblins, seeing the game from a completely different perspective :p

(I won't vote and destroy the nice "multiple of 3" results now <.< Seriously, how often do you see a poll with 15/45/90 votes?)

I was just finished laying out this bedroom design: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/File:Hactar1_Mandelbrot_Tree.png
My miner happily ran to work, and a few seconds later...
You have discovered an expansive cavern deep underground
FUUUUUUUUUUUU-

(I know there's probably some script to lay out this sort of thing, but when I'm going fractal I want to do the work myself <.<)

With ~30 "perfect" warriors (legendary weapon skill, shield, armor, dodge and most assigned a war elephant), I killed all the demons that spawned from hell (almost 100), with no casualties... until the toxic blood spread around and started blinding and killing dwarves and my elephants. So it's possible to kill them all, but watch out: they are at their most deadly when dead!

I'm playing on a 1.6GHz Celeron with 1 gb RAM, I get in the area of 40-50 FPS on embark (which is drastically lowered pretty quickly). It seems like it's pretty high compared to other celerons here? I don't embark on crazy mountains though :p

With these, a goblin-powered n-step repeater is easily achieved:
    <
    h
    ^
   hXh
<h^XXX^h<
   hXh
    ^
    h
    <
with 'h' being hatches. Each pressure plate is connected to the ones in the same color. A goblin is inserted somehow (not sure how yet, tried to keep this design as general as possible), and the goblin is kept running in a clockwise fashion. This does not have any way of limiting the speed of the oscillation ala the 100 step per move in a fluid oscillator, but that should be possible to add. This design doesn't work if a) goblins stop pathing after a while or b) goblins need food/water...
