Bay 12 Games Forum

I like Stonesense a lot, but it doesn't do justice to the scale of most projects. With both of them my imagination can meet somewhere in the middle.

Thanks!

huh, forgive me but overseer doesnt have a readme that I could see how do I take an ss? Just printscreen or is there something in the program?

I just use swords. They are decent at slashing off body parts and they can stab. I keep enough hammers for a squad and level at least one troop of marksdwarves in hammer so they can switch to hammer if I get something like a colossus.

I used to have a few squads of each but I found that;

Axes were not much better than swords at slashing peoples arms off and lacked the versatility needed to make me want to train axe dwarves.

Spears are great for large targets like dragons but I found that a lone spear dwarf cut off from his squadmates in battle wasn't quite as adapt at dispatching a dozen gobos as the sworddwarf.

Hammerdwarves are great but I rarely if ever have to utilize them.

Hence, why I use swords exclusively. They are in my opinion the most versatile weapon available (that you can make in the fort obviously). I don't even have to ponder what I am sending them against, they simply take care of business.

You can get humans to be placed regardless if you change their civ to spawn anywhere instead of just plains.

Hey Deon, In the new version (3.18 Graphics) you have compressed_save set to 'no' in the ini. Is this helpful for some reason in the new version of GENESIS or DF? Can I switch it back to 'yes' without causing problems? Thanks!

If you have it set to no then you can edit some world information post world gen using a tool. Switching it to yes shouldn't cause any major problems if you aren't editing anything. The biggest issue I suppose would be the possibility of corrupting files while saving but thats about it.

it was probably worth no more than 500. Likely less than that.

You would be better served in the questions forum.

To answer your second question: Yes if a civ is not present you need to regen if you want that civ. I would suggest you utilize legends mod in the future to make sure all the races are alive.

Ya Q I don't think it does degrade over time. Clothing will degrade if it is being worn but in the stockpile cloth shouldn't degrade.

I rather hope they don't stand out there idly when the next siege comes.

Or maybe it'd be entertaining.  He was a legendary axedwarf after all.

If you have uniforms set to always be worn all you would have to do is activate his squad. So long as they don't have endless squads of lashers you ought to be good to go.
