This is the second or third turn. The last arena battle was several turns.

Dammit you guys. Even the gnoll facepalmed!
Grab Squishy and have him turn into some kind of mace. Smack a gnoll and run past. Wonder what happened to the tunnel.

« on: April 24, 2013, 09:58:34 pm »The stated issues with the environment are as follows: The water is too scarce, the air is too thin, the gravity is too high and the surface is too hot.Sweat's not too bad but your proposed solution is hardly the only one; reptiles don't sweat and are a lot more common in the desert. Toughening bones isn't the only solution, and making them stouter would probably work better and be more nutrient-efficient. Finally, efficient respiration works for birds and so we don't need to pressurize the air inside.
Paradigm shift time:
The problem with this colonists is that they sweat out all of their vitally needed water, have fragile bones and are unable to pressurize their internal air supply. Proposed solution:
Quote
-Develop a non-perspiratory method for cooling the body, such as feathers or capillated hairs.1. Maybe, but I still think ectothermy would be quite helpful.
-Increase bone strength by modifying the mineral content towards something stronger.
-Modify the epiglottis to shift from an inhale-exhale cycle to an inhale-compress-decompress-exhale cycle without fiddling with the delicate avolli.
2. Meh.
3. I don't think this would be the best idea. Simpler to improve respiratory efficiency.
Quote
That third one may not work if, by "thin air" they mean the air lacks oxygen, rather than it having a normal oxygen percentage at unhealthfully low air pressure.No, the GM said the oxygen content was fine.
Just make them smaller to deal with the gravity. Also try to develop a hybrid heat-sink/exoskeleton.Making them smaller would bring a host of new issues, not to mention make heat regulation a pain. Ectothermy is simpler. And I'm not sure if the proposed hybrid would work, unless maybe the exoskeleton had plates or something to radiate away heat.
If we want to increase the average body temperature, we have to go in and fix all the proteins in the body that denature (ie. stop working) at that temperature so they don't break. That would be a whole lot of work.Indeed. Especially with that kind of temperature. Why even have it so high?

Alright.
So...
1. Gather support.
2. Prevent Owen's support.
3. Care for the man.
Correct?

There's only one group, with only two males.
And there's still more bucks, probably including a bunch that probably don't mate at all, especially given the composition of the group.

« on: April 24, 2013, 09:43:26 pm »It wasn't located in a cold wasteland right after a calamity wiped out most of the people, and it didn't form in response to the destruction of civilization. Everyone is fanatically devoted to the Safety Religion, and the government takes any measures to make the nation safe. National fanaticism is a powerful thing. If the Sky Lords don't know about this stuff, how is it you know anything?Firstly, what you've claimed is pretty improbable. There are NO leaks? My invisible weightless elephant analogy might be adapted to this situation.
As noted, there is about 0% chance that you can do even half as well as North Korea, and so what you described is pretty much as impossible as you can get. If nothing else, your "purging" will drive your citizens away faster than opening a toll gate in the Berlin Wall.
1. Creative License1. Poor excuse, especially given the magnitude.
2. There isn't exactly a bordering nation to flee to.
3. North Korea doesn't have religion on their size.
4. Even North Korea doesn't take all the possible measures.
2. That didn't stop the Cubans.
3. A ha ha ha. Besides, "religion" is hardly needed.
4. It does more than you do. And, more importantly, they've been doing so a LOT longer.

« on: April 24, 2013, 09:33:06 pm »On the 'nobody else is suffering the effects', i'm putting that down to US being the Target. We are the critical part of our universe. So only we would suffer from the 'dungeon withdrawl' and I am going to refer to it for now on. If Al leaves, who cares. There are more vampires. Ritila leaves, who cares. More glass women. Slog leaves? More slimes in the dungeon. Or we, as a fleshy glass cannon, are suffering from it more than anyone else is. Ritila is a warrior, Al is a warrior/mage bastard child combination, Slog can't bleed and Megaman is very tough I believe. If we stay long enough then if I am correct, they should start having the same problems we are.The former idea about us being important doesn't make sense, since it should have happened last arena. The second idea...maybe, but again, why didn't it happen last time?
Quote
Or...Quite possible.I personally thought it was Ciro reacting to learning that critical hits won't work here.
I think Cherish is a ? because she made a costume change in that animation of Proxxy beating Al with CherishProbably, yeah.

(Aluminum is pretty light; it's not terribly good as a weapon. To say nothing of the skill required to use nunchaku well.
Oh, and it's "pidgin," not "pigeon." Unless you mean she squawked like a bird.)
Grab her, THEN run for the back door. The voices told us to, we should listen. They haven't lead us wrong yet.

DF Suggestions / Re: how about bone types?
« on: April 24, 2013, 09:25:31 pm »It does seem a bit incongruous that blood types are tracked but not bone types.They are, in exactly the same way. Unless you mean ichor vs. blood vs. goo, in which case I'd point out that differing bone types would probably require dwarves to be able to determine what bones are best to use, so they don't make robin bone weapons or hydra bone figurines or whatever, unless you wanted them to for some reason.
Basically, the bigger problem is that any bone is useful for anything. Try turning some cat bones into a figurine or a helm, would you. This kind of thing can wait until bones are handled properly, especially since most major mods already do this to some extent.

You can currently give into the siege, but that kills all your dwarves anyways so it's not this.
Since NPC surrenders and occupations* are being added, player-controlled forts surrendering might not be that tough.
*As in military, not as in jobs.
