In my experience, starving or dehydrated dwarves don't care about burrows. So much for easy hermits...

DF Suggestions / Re: Animals cleaning the map

Hm, the idea of oozes is cool, especially when you allow them to become different when they eat different stuff. Feed it silk, it becomes soft and cute, an excellent pet if small enough and an excellent trade good for the elves if not. Feed it skeletons, and it becomes hard, white, and creepy. Feed it live goblins, and it becomes bloody. Feed it iron, it becomes ironic. Feed it only (or in addition) water, and it becomes more fluidey and similar to how it sta...wait, I said "ironic?" I don't think that's what I meant.

DF Suggestions / Re: Connecting Siege Engines to Triggers
« on: December 12, 2011, 07:27:57 pm »I like the idea of putting them inside weapon traps. However, I'm not fond of the suggestion as it was written by the OP. Triggering, would be a displeasure to me and my play style.Wait...you want to be able to put 3X3 siege engines inside 1-tile weapon traps?

I would however, enjoy if they were automated, via mechanical devices. Thereby removing the dwarf from having to be present, in order to fire. I could really get behind an automatic catapult. The problem I see with the OP's suggestion is it thwarts the players involvement in its operation. I enjoy toggling its status. Fire at will, rotate, etc.. I'd hate to lose that ability. In addition to rotate, I'd like a trajectory option, also. But no trigger. As I am often finding a need to fire at high arc, to hit nearby areas.I'm not sure what the difference is. You could always make a water logic system if you wanted to kill everyone that went through a certain corridor...

To my logic, having a straight up trajectory, would be completely something a dwarf might do.What, so that he'd hit himself?

Another thing siegecraft needs changed, is to allow catapults to fire anything, not just rock. Anotherwords, with an automatic catapult, a dwarf could fire himself, back and forth, via two aimed respectfully at each other.Hm, although this isn't really related...Dwarven ping-pong?

DF General Discussion / Re: Weird king

For some reason, monarchs don't come with any personality. Maybe that's a feature, but I doubt it.
The "husband of the bloated crone" part just means that a previous king later got abducted by a bloated crone, and so all historical references to that king call him a husband of a bloated crone. Weird? Yes.

Why? That dwarf died as a true dwarf should: Mad and killing everything around him. Rejoice, another has met his true fate!

I'm game for a turn.
EDIT: You're done with the first turn? Neat, I'll download the save.

No! I promise I didn't kill the fort!
There probably won't even be a loyalty cascade!

Wait, is that not what you meant? It's been 3 days since I posted the save and last update, and you're the only other person who's answered.

You could make them "rocks" of smouldering ash. It doesn't seem to have any tags allowing it to be made into stuff.

Nothing. The Dopellurist looks like just another migrant.

The only thing in DF that comes in wafers is Adamantine, and all dwarves know what that is.

Hmm... if we got two demons of the same type and forced them to have the child tag via adventurer reactions, made them passive and switched to Dwarf Mode via dfusion and dfhack...Don't forget to give them genders!
...I feel sad that this is the best thing I can up with.

Looks interesting! Although it sounded like a database about long, narrow pieces of wood or whatever that anyone can edit...
Point is, I'm mainly posting so that I won't lose track of the thread.

« on: December 11, 2011, 10:01:44 pm »
If I'm starving and all I had to eat were some bones, I'd eat the marrow, then the bones if needed. (Of course, the bones would probably be from my pet dog, who would have been previously eaten, so they wouldn't be that ol...I'm stopping that train of thought about a sentence too late.)
