DF Suggestions / More embark location search options?
« on: January 17, 2011, 04:31:44 pm »
Well going through it and the lact of ammount of serch option avalibile I think we should be able to add certain things. (Don't know if a thread about this was made already)

Volcanic Activity Yes-no-N/a
Matriel Wanted (Allows you to go into a list and pick speicfic matriels, Marble, Slate... Basically things you want)
Abilty to assign Priority in serach (For example one time I was looking for a place and didn't meet all the requirements it took has flux zone over doesn't have an aquafir, And frankly I wish it was the other way around)
Abilty to switch between all places found (Take for example you don't like a certain area beacuse of no trees ect.)
Biomes wanted (Mountain, Plains, Trees, Ect.)
How many biomes do you want (Personally I like many)

Any others im missing?, I don't know but what I would really like is a priority setting.

(Before the start of the story) Hello, I have reacently started playing fortress mode, And decided to create a cummunity fortress, While I may make some newb mistakes I will try my best and learn what I can while doing this hopefully this time around I can form a well, Do bare with me and expect alot of FUN.

It was early morning, As the wagon rolled on seven dwarf could be seen walking away from a fortress in the hopes of forming there own community one based on hard-work, Industry, And most importanly booze.

They had Finally reached there goal, It had been many days, And many barrels of food and booze. But on the momentous occassion the start of the fortress the expidition leader declared the fortress Wardaggers, It was time to strike the earth!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Towers
« on: January 16, 2011, 01:17:19 am »
Well on my last fortress (that died from a combination of a tantrum spiral me decideding they were un-worthy to live and a goblin asssult)
I attempted to make towers outside of the ground withen my outside walls

But when I tryed to get another Z-level up I had two problems

1, They wouldn't allow me to build a down stairs where my upstairs was under

2, When ever I tryed to place walls or Floors on the second level it would say "No Non-Economic Stone Avalible to build" Yet If I went one story below I could build floors :P

So my question is how would one be able to do these things and make archer towers?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Throwing while wrestleing?
« on: January 16, 2011, 12:29:20 am »
How exactly does this work, In combat I have tryed this yet it seems to not move them at all, And all it does is stun them and realses your grip of them...

Or Am I doing something wrong?

Well, Inspired by the other thread I decided to start this

Races allowed:
--------------------------------------
Gnome
Dwarf
Goblin
Elf
Human
Kobold

Skill And Equipment:
----------------------------------------------------
To start with You get to add 5 Skill points to any skill.
(IE, 1= 1 level in the skill picked)
After a battle if you win you gain a point you can store under any skill.

Okay people, So were going to try to implament a diffrent armour system! Thanks to the help of Draignean. Currently this is in to test how well it works
Also, The metals been edited so its slightly closer together!
The metal's will go like this,  Copper->Iron->Bronze->Steel->Faerie Silver*->Shadowsteel*->Adamantium
Each tier is 10% Increase in quality, while it does makes for more humdrum breaks it also eliminates the massive gaps between the metals that made it very difficult to offer non-generic equipment.
Also possible change to the system, need feedback on, is whether you can get anything other than iron on character generation. If this were to be implemented you would get 10 points to spend on items, and the material of the item dictates how much it costs.
So say Copper costs 1, iron 2, Bronze 3, Steel 5, Faerie Silver* 7, Shadowsteel* 10, Adamantium 15.
You can go with the standard 5 iron, or you can downgrade a little and grab a full suit of armor at the cost of it being slightly lower quality, or go all out offensive and grab a Shadowsteel Great axe and nothing else. Also if this were implemented you would have the option to reject any item from your opponent's corpse and convert their best item into points at half the point value of the original item. (Minimum 2)
If an experienced character wished to upgrade their Arms or Armor because they had filled all of their armor slots they would PM me with what they wanted and I'd update them.(Me stands for Draignean, As he is the cuirrent Manger)
Yes, When you pick either Guantlets or boots you only receive one.(Unless you specifically say Two copper boots or such)
After a fight if you win you get to pick one of any of the equipment your enemy had. (Assumeing you dont convert your own item)
Also due to a suggestion animal trainer skill has been added.
1                    - Cat, Fox
2                    - Groundhog
3                    - Dog
4                    - Leopard'
5                    - Tiger

Dealing with wounds:
--------------------------------------------------------
Following under the ideal that after combat a warrior gets rest and patched up for his next battle,
Any wounds received are gone.

Place of combat:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the incostency of one host it can really range from self created places to other areas.
As such there is no "Offical" combat area as of yet.

How does Combat work?:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Each day I will do up to five battles.
You will be matched with someone around the same level of skill and equipment .
Some who fought and won Three times won't be squared againsit a new person.
The Combat log will be taken a picture of and posted along with a additonal picture of the victor standing by the bloody mess of the enemy.

What If I lost a battle?
-------------------------------------------------
Once you lose a battle you have to re-apply for a new combatatient.

DF Suggestions / Civil War?
« on: January 14, 2011, 08:55:16 pm »
(Im not sure if this has been suggested before, Or a planed goal)
I think that people who think they were unjustly punished (Or so they belive) By political figures or Nobles, They begin to form together of course not dirictly telling the player, Also a possible diffrent thing that happens when depresed, Instead of just going crazy and killing or commiting suicide, They try to lead a revalution, Convinceing other dwarfs in popular places like the meeting hall, To the eventually point where they suddenly all spring into action and assult soliders. If they win perhaps the fort continues?, Expect is named a diffrent nation and automatically againsit any allys of the previous fortress?

I don't know... I really haven't portayed this idea correctly, Any Other suggestions regarding it.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Goblin just won't go down?
« on: January 12, 2011, 05:52:31 pm »
Reacently in arena mode, Just to tourture a goblin, I made a wrestler... After beating it some I thought "Oh Im going to cripple it", So I perceded to break its arms ((Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist)) Yet it still punched me so getting angrey I broke all three parts of both legs (Knee, Hip, Ankle) Yet it was still standing and punching me, MY question is how can a goblin stand with both legs broken, I know I can't are goblins some badass tough things?, Or is this a bug?

Hello, This is my first forums game, And I hope I can do it justice, Also the name has nothing to do and my attempt to form some sort of none-real based corperation. I do not mean to mock any bussiness(s) that may be in the postion of this one. Nor do I aim this charecter to repersent anyone.

Your name is Jonathan Bookpeeper. You are the CEO of a large franchise. You have raised it form the ground up, from a small bussiness to the most succesful corperations around the globe
Its name is Lil'Cart Indrustrys. What it does you may ask is everything. While it started out it was a shop from there it eveolved to a chain, Then begain to monoplize the world. Currently it is head in ALL markets.

One day, As you sit in your office you ask yourself "Now what?"



((Sorry for the less then detailed image, And the fact its a tad blurey, Also the red dot-man thing is Jonathan Bookpeeper))

Your Phone is on the table.
