Roll To Dodge / Re: HERO CIVIL WAR/YOU AT FINAL BOSS: OOC THREAD

Pfft. Look, you may have an empire, but I have Aperture and sanity, which means that I can make any gadgets I can think of, given time. Also, I have haste, which gives me twice the actions, and my bonus is as high as yours. In short, give me a turn and I'll beat anything you can make.
1 word. Greenstar. Plus, I am slowly forcing players to cut off contact with you. i.e. Vorthon will not protect you for fear of my wrath. Those who leave you or jon me are rewarded. You are slowly being constricted. Face it, your not as awesome when you have to do something, instead of being Mr. Peanut Gallery,
And I to you. And I have contact with the most powerful player on the field, and am going to turn him against you for reasons of mine and yours.

GWG, you have a point on the bonus. Nothing else though. If I got a higher roll than you if I were fighting you with a lawn chair, for example, no weapons would impede my lawnsmashing victory.
Not true. The GM is logical.
Besides, my gadgets can get me to the point where anyone coming at me with a lawn chair is dead.


Oh, and BTW: As long as I am at war with misko, no matter how cold, anyone associating with him positively (ie not an enemy of his) will be treated as an enemy of mine. And I don't like my enemies.

It would probably wait until then, yeah.

Seriously, though, how would you power a moving drill?

I have seen a fox the other day but noone believed me. Its the largest remaining predator in Germany :(

GreatWyrmGold: I remember the time when we got the first volcano floods, at that time it was a bug. 40 years ago when i was 23 or so. Glorious times when trees where single-tile. Back then we invented Tower-casting with Obsidian which today is much harder with the internal material stresses and and advanced thermodynamics.

Anyway you could go and raid a harbor for ships and knowledge how to use them in form of slaves.
I remember, I started waaaay back in 0.31.16.
And as to your harbor idea...well, there aren't "ships," per se. Most of the islanders use dugout or double-outrigger canoes; goblins have NO boats whatsoever; and the dwarves only have rafts of varying sizes. I think the elves had these basic sailing ships, I'll see if I can hijack one once I upload the world.

Nothing.

What would Urist do if he was a character in a FPS?

Woah, missed that. Yeah, do basic research before commenting on a game.

DF General Discussion / Re: The village. Give me it.
« on: November 12, 2012, 06:11:06 pm »
From what I remember about world gen battles, the actual fighting takes place in "duels". Enemies will fight in line which leads to characters like Demons getting massive amounts of kills.
This coupled with the fact that defending "armies" get a decent defensive bonus when fighting these duels means you get silly examples of 4 men fighting off a massive army. This will likely be addressed in the military arch but until then a decent "band-aid" could be making armies getting over-run and destroyed if they're outnumbered by a certain ratio, say 1:10.
This. It doesn't help that goblins have a potentially unlimited amount of time to hone their skills in.

What are those little purple mound thingies in the new world maps? Some sort of new goblin site?

Also, it's realistic--for goblins, humans, and dwarves at least.
I'm rereading Guns, Germs, and Steel, so I'm thinking about this through that lens. Dwarves, humans, and goblins are clearly "states" by Diamond's reckoning, and states argue over land rights; kobolds and animalpeople are bands or tribes. Elven society is...confusing.

I didn't know I had stone and didn't think I had time.
And yet you've been saying over and over again JUST A FEW SECONDS GUYS IT'D BE PERFECTLY FINE NO DANGER AT ALL. Plus trying to build a wall completely elsewhere for the same purpose.

In short, stop saying things you know aren't true.
I'm right behind the wall. If you would have failed without those seconds, you'd fail with. More importantly... I said I didn't think I had time right after I broke the spire and was saying that a few seconds wouldn't matter after I found out the demonic invasion was more slow-paced than I had imagined.

Quote
Actually, they'd just shatter it. This isn't strictly adhering to DF.
You may be screwed.
This was referring to a hatch in the floor, not a wall. She also said the iron demon might bash down the wall on an incredibly lucky roll, so presumably they'll hold fine otherwise.

No guarantees, of course.
Of course.
I forgot the context of that quote, but I DID remember that Cass said the iron demon would break down the wall. Remember, it has nothing to do but try once we erect the barrier...so, in the meantime let's find magma and obsidianate the area just in front of the hypothetical barricade.

Yeah, I only attacked because you put my wife in danger. Besides, I wouldn't gloat if I where you, you got your faced smashed in by 2 different people that are for the most part, harmless.
If you thinkbyou can attack an evil overlord and get away with it, you manage to beat ou GWG for most deluded person here. If this continues, I will aid Tim out of spite.

Also, GWG and Xantalos are now officially to be killed. Sorry GWG, but I'm just angry now. Xantalos, Die. All I can say.
Well, I'm glad you're finally seeing reason with Xantalos. FYI, since you've declared me to be "kill on sight" material, I'm going to do my best to kill you as well. And I'm the one with Sol Slayers. Ten of them, and I can make more.

Anyways, why are you all so hostile towards Tim? It's like a fly bugging a toad.

After a horribly-executed attempt at suicide, you timidly say, "I was trying to run...?"

The orc replies," And before you ran?"
