DF Suggestions / Re: Would This Idea Make For Some AWESOME Goblin Ambushes?
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:23:22 am »
On a serious note, I've figured a way to implement this suggestion without beng rediculous:

Have ambushes sometimes bring mounts.

DF Suggestions / Re: Increasing number of tiles or ability to assign graphics to items
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:19:19 am »
I agree with the idea of item graphics. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about with the colors and stuff, but it sounds possibly kinda neat.

Of course, we have to ask ourselves: Is it worth Toady's time? Eventually, yes, but now?

It seems to me like air horns are a more modern thing. Gongs/bells seem reasonable, though.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Using Minecarts

The tutorial thingy didn't seem to say anything about this...are dwarves supposed to automatically haul minecarts to the hauling routes?

Any suggestions on how to use them as weapons? Would my idea work? Would I need to get a stockpile on the other end to get them to toss the minecart off the track or something?

And, while I'm on the topic, how do I power rollers?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Do i know you, migrant guy's? I DO!!!!

I recently had my first migrant wave consist partly of 6/7 of the Starting Seven from an abandoned attempt at settling the same site. It made me wonder what happened to the seventh...

Alright, so there has to be a stockpile at each end?

Could I, say, fill a minecart with training weapons and send it down into the caverns towards the unsuspecting olmperson tribe somehow?

How would I use minecarts to

A. cart stuff around? I assume the hauling menu is involved.
B. Kill the tribe of olm men in my caverns?

I think the battleaxes might hit like if they were being attacked with, so they might be better. Don't quote me on that, though.

What would happen if you removed the CONTAINER_CAPACITY tag?

DF Suggestions / Re: A Realism Fix for Platinum and Aluminum
« on: May 16, 2012, 07:46:22 pm »
There is a cut-off date for tech, though.

Niyazov brings up an interesting point, though. The world of DF is not like our own. Magma's proximity to the surface and various properties make it a resource that should probably not be discounted when we consider the value of a substance. If native platinum could be extracted, it would be at least as valuable as...um...bauxite. Well, is native platinum kinda shiny? If so, an argument could be made for native platinum to go as high in value as obsidian, even without any ability to extract platinum.

Code: [Select]

[I_SOURCE:REGION]
[IS_REGION:GOOD_ONLY]
[IS_REGION:ANY_TERRAIN]
[IS_FREQUENCY:100]
   [I_TARGET:A:CORPSE]

      [SYN_CLASS:RESSURECT]
      [CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0:END:10]
         [CE:CREATURE:DWARF_HEAL:GENERIC]

This one should do it, and only affect creature with the class DWARF_INTER, which of course would be only dwarves, to make the reagion more... good. Would lead to no one really dieing, ever...

I'm going to undo the "only affects dwarves" part, okay? Otherwise it's too easy, and anyways my imagination is that the good regions are somewhat sentient, and can't stand death. Just like evil regions are somewhat sentient and can't stand life.

Oh, and the {code}{/code} tags are your friend.

*checks dates*

Never mind, somehow I had thought that all of the posts prior to mine had been posted within a day or so.

What would that be, then? The Multiple Burning Axes of Sankis?
The gender thing is a bit off, but I suppose the in-game people who found the axe could have been non-dwarven enough to not know the difference.
