Clearly, Hans broke the poor boy's mind.
Bad Hans! Why were you mean to TCM and making his mind break?

P.s. This is a joke.

I actually need to find the chips first--I can't get gourmet cooking unless I find a computer with a bunch of recipes and putting all of them into a chip or something. I was a bit fuzzy on what that was supposed to mean; is there a similar idea you think would be more balanced?
So effectively easier upgrades and/or upgrades for skills that you could not ordinarily get?
Pretty much just with skills and anything else that comes in program form, but yeah.

Cold fusion requires cold temperatures, right? So are our newest ships stuck in colder waters?
If so, design some refrigerated battleships and such.
If not...well, start the Toronto Project. It's like the Manhattan Project, but in Toronto and dealing with bigger booms.

Basically, make (better) friends with Gilbert and his crew, and any friends they might have and so on that could be useful to our plans I.E have skills of some sort. get them used to us hanging out together. Do geeky things like design and test things which may or may not be related to villany. Just team cohesion things. They could be very useful, after all. This is, essentially, assembling the villain team. Over time, we should be able to bring them around into a League of Villanous EnterprisesTm, at some point. Probably not immediately.
Yeah.  Just make sure we don't push it too much.  Don't assemble them into the League of Evil yet.
Agreed.
Let's see...if we're the Big Bad, Gilbert and/or Stan is the Evil Genius, and Clara is by default the Dark Chick...we need a Dragon and a Brute at some point. And ideally mooks, and maybe a Quirky Miniboss Squad. But muscle should be sufficient for now.

Realize this sounds like a horror movie.

YOU MISSED SOME

THAT'S HIM TALKING, HE DOESN'T TALK CAPS

YEAH BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA CORRECT HIM DO IT RIGHT.

I WAS ALREADY CORRECTING HIM RIGHT DO NOT QUESTION MY LOGIC.

YOU CAN CORRECT MORE THAN ONE THING IN A POST.

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT. FIGHTING OFF THE EVIL FORCES OF THE UNDEAD TAKES MY CORRECTION SKILLS OUT OF ME.
  I DON'T CARE. DO SHIT BETTER BEXT TIME.

AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! SO MUCH RED TEXT!!!!

Oh, and it was only a pick and a plump helmet in the middle of a sinister biome, by the way...

Even a single duplicate object in the raws can cause issues. Or !!issues!!.

My militia commander, who I had told to do some smithing, grabbed some bronze bars and claimed the magma forge (not in that order, mind you). He makes a bronze morningstar named Kisssizzled (Alisumstiz). Kisssizzled has bronze studs and bands, as well as images. Specifically, images of a thin cross, short swords, two wild strawberries, and itself. My first artifact, a fractal...Well, I was hoping for a glass making mood, but just wait. A legendary  weaponsmith is pretty good.
On a side note, my militia commander was assigned his axe, currently one he forged, Alisumstiz, and the first masterwork he made (a bronze short sword). I imagine him dual-wielding morningstar and axe and having the sword in a sheath on his back.

Sounds like duplicate draws. Lots of them, possibly, but just duplicating a single object can have massive changes. Did I tell you about the time I experimentally duplicated toads? Dwarves were replaced with humans, humans with...elves? Elves with goblins, goblins with kobolds, trolls with ogres, and so on and so forth. It was madness. Not really Sparta, though.

DF Modding / Re: Challenge-Mods
« on: October 07, 2012, 07:22:03 pm »
How about challenges where farming is hindered or removed to some extent? Or a mod where 10% of dwarves and domestic animals have CRAZED? Or  a mod where dwarves can only make some nerfed digging and tree-cutting implements and no other weapons? Or one where dwarves can't make any ores but goblins get steel?
Or some sort of combination, say  no farming plus less meat, or no wood plus no weapons?

Did you order them to attack?
Can they path to the goblins?
Are they all eating, drinking, or sleeping?
Are they berzerk?

I've already said I would kill the lichette; that's nothing new to anyone. It's the original goal of the RTD! I've also included a clause in my PlanTM that allows Dirg and the lichette to still live happily ever after.

And misko, do you take me up on that bet?

... I don't get it. Are you saying that our actions our invalid?
No, why would I be saying that?
And how?

gimme my mask back :D the revision is fine.. also my pyromancers staff so i can do fun explodey stuff.

Target his engines
The weird plant monster thing suddenly throws several fireballs at the bosses winged boots.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
When did kelp-men get engines?


EDIT: If you want your artifact back, go ahead, it's lying in the ashes where you died. Heck, I'll incorporate it into your actions since I hadn't made any of this remotely clear.

I agree, and probably would have posted something similar if Wrex hadn't beaten me to it.

Long-term, I suggest getting a basic supervillain plan created and started, then skipping ahead a few years or to the first major difficulties. Any ideas for evil plans?

DF Suggestions / Re: The Journey

So... I don't think guiding the Caravan would have to be boring at all.

Oregon trail is an entire game built around essentially doing exactly that, and it was a blast.

Oregon Trail was a game about travel. Dwarf Fortress is not. I'm not a student of recreational theory, but time-consuming things that distract from a game's main activity tend to by less fun.

Dwarf Fortress is a fantasy world simulator. It incorporates many genres of games - RTS/city builder, roguelike adventure, I don't see why we can't incorporate a game about travel into the mix. And anyone who plays adventure mode will tell you that you do a hell of a lot of travelling. The OP also clearly stated that you wouldn't have to do it if you didn't want to.

I was mostly trying to point out that using the fun of Oregon trail to "prove" that a caravan-following-system would be fun for DF doesn't work.
