DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Can you wait out an ambush?
« on: August 12, 2010, 12:16:01 am »
In the past I've found that embarking in a "civilized" area can make my life much more peaceful. The human/elf/goblin/etc inhabitants make amazing meat shields and are experts at triggering ambushes, and often times can fend them off just fine without my intervention.

The insane processor requirements that mean most of my forts die FPS deaths as opposed to being taken down by in-game hazards

Heh, the old "But can it run Crysis?" meme should read Dwarf Fortress instead.

As a kernel dev I have to say that this thread has made me laugh, and cry. No amount of multithreading or OS optimization is going to fix a horrible algorithm. If I had it my way I'd see http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html replaced with simply, "Refactor", for about two or three months. I love having new features and all, but giving a troll new clothes, make-up, and hair plugs doesn't change the fact that it's still an ugly f'ing troll.

In the future you might also check the Arch Linux AUR's version of DT.
