DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: A strange occurrence

So apparently i got ambushed by goblins and humans randomly showed up in the middle of an evil biome?
Did  they introduce themselves? I've had soldiers try to kill my adventurers and bandits succeed in killing said adventurers.
...Come to think of it, that explains why I'm hired to kill bandits in the first place.

Yeah, Adventurer Mode sleeping is weird. One time I went to sleep in a titan's shrine and woke up on top of a mudstone pillar the height of the Empire State Building.

Ah, the memories...so fond...things were so different back then...you had to eat and drink, you started at your own race's site, you could survive sleeping in the wilderness...It's ridiculous, though, that I'm talking like an old veteran, since I only started in 31.16.

Get the idea?

Annoying, isn't it? Anyone else have something like this happen?

When I tried Cacame again to test, one of the early questions was if the character was a dwarf. Later questions were if he liked dwarves and lived underground.  :D  Akinator asked if he was female twice, though... First guess the second time was WoW orc. The second was Urist McDwarf. The third: Cacame!
I think it works on a probability algorithm so that a few wrong answers don't lead it completely astray. So if it's asking the same question twice, it's because he can rule out or pin down a character if the certainty of some statement goes up.
Hm...If I had any idea what a probability algorithm was, I'd probably agree with you.

How do we drop the fullgrown birds, then? Does a single z level fall kill them, or will we still be able to slaughter them? Time for !!SCIENCE!!
A single z-level does no damage to anything, unless you fall into water/magma. In that case, the fall does drowning or heat damage.

Wow. What was the FB made of?

Dear Urist McMiner,
Do not sleep in the aquifer.

Kill Elf Pirates.

What would Urist do if he had colonized Hell?
Nothing. It's just another day.

What would Urist do if Hell had colonized him...er...you know what I mean! I think you do...ah, forget it, just interpret that however.

It might also have Cacame. Haven't tried it.
It does now! It kept asking repetitive questions-Does it walk on two legs, does it have legs, does it walk on two legs...
I'm glad to have beaten it, though.

It got Artemis Fowl and Ender's Game on the first try. THE QUESTIONS WERE SO VAGUE! HOW THE
Those are resonably popular. My guess is that, each time someone is honest, it gets better due to understanding the thing better. If you want to destabilize it, think of Urist McDwarf and answer as a wimpy elf. Or, think of Andrew Wiggin and answer as Stiltson, or whatever.




Random side note: Akinator asked if [Threetoe] was in trouble with the law, made a fool of himself, and other stuff like that. It also asked if [Toady] was a religious figure. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If you dig down far enough, you'll find big pillars of blue stuff. If you dig down through those below the magma sea, you win.
If you do this, you will discover why you should NEVER trust advice involving being greedy...at least with special, deep metals...

Depends. Unless you count the time I spent lurking the forum and reading the wiki before actually downloading, none.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

I enjoy making my own FUN. The only industry you can export is clothing! You must kill all traders! You may not embark with a pick, an axe, or an anvil! Etc!

Or download Just Embark or something and try to take over a fortress. Bonus: Also get the Fortress Defense mod and embark in a jotunn fortress.
Protips: Lock all ground-level doors. Sometimes, the soldiers will randomly become friendly, but I don't know why, and they won't attack their former comrades. The leader will also be friendly-but-useless. An Eldjotun wrestler, unconscious in th middle of the courtyard, will distract any remaining civilians.

My fisherdwarf got interrupted in the middle of fishing in the river.

Oh my god... this is so cute... I wish I had a camera to take a picture of this :3 that moment when a player realizes that everything in the game is out to kill off every single one of your dwarves :D even the "Good" things... Titan sounds nice? NOPE! HE WANTS TO EAT THE FACES FROM YOUR DWARVES! UNICORNS SEE YOUR DWARVES AS HORN SHEATHS! YOUR ONLY DEFENSE IS A TRAP FILLED HALL AND MAGMA CANNONS! D:

Three words: Mauled by giant badgers animals of all kinds.
Fixed. Normal badgers are deadly...to chickens and ducks, and to the cleanliness of my nice soap fortress. Civilians can easily kill them, when they don't choose to take the opportunity to make me wish I had followed OSHA guidelines.
Giant capybara? Yikes.
