I rather like ASCII graphics. Somehow, DF isn't the same even with a mere graphics pack. DF with 3D graphics? Heck no.

I was traveling in the caverns, trying to get from the frozen little continent I started on to a larger, more populous continent to the south. Silly me, I go to sleep...

And wake up on the surface.

WTF?

*applause*

I'd like to see the adventurer--I want to see if you can un-inhabit-ize a fort by killing the lord/lady and/or all of his/her soldiers.

Is it true that only a few workshops can have custom reactions in them? I was thinking of modding in wooden statues, but ideally I'd make them at a carpenter's workshop.

what is better than mauling enemies with your own newborn baby?

Mauling enemies with their newborn baby.

While mauling them with your newborn baby

TWO babies? That's overkill. Just use a nice, old-fashioned magma cannon.

What's up?
I just started an adventurer in hell.

In the fortress defense mod, I made a frost ettin master demigod wrestler and started...er...you know...in hell...like I said a line ago. And...wait, I just noticed that I'M a demon!
Best. Bug. Ever.
Weird, though...The demons are nice, nameless peasants, and can't do anything useful like be recruited or give you a service or...anything. Even to other demons.
I can fast-travel out of hell, though, which is nice. Although when I got near a fortress and stopped I was a honeybadgerman, which sucks. I was hoping to...adventure somehow...and kill dragons and stuff. I was trapped in the top of a tower! I had to give in to starvation...

Thoughts? Ideas on what the bug is? How else could I have dealt with being stuck as a badgerman? Whatever else you can think of?

EDIT: Tried being a great fiendspider high master biter. Nope, giant olm. At least caverns should be more fun, right? Oh, and apparently you can't eat plump helmet man body parts, despite them being made of plump helmet. EDIT EDIT: And apparently I started under the ocean, because I can't travel until I move away from the water. Given how slow olms are, I'm starving the olm.

EDIT^3: Beak wolf? No, ash gray demon, surrounded by others of her (?) kind. Huge leeches with round shells, long, shaggy, ash-gray hair, and poisonous gas. They know and intone the name of all they encounter, which must be kinda dull since demons lack names. If I could spew the gas, I would, just to see what it does. But I can't, and I'm outnumbered, so I'll try traveling...ah, crap, another under-ocean start. Can't I be a deer or random frogman citizen topside, or at least a whale?...Make that a sea monster.

EDIT^4: Huh, a dwarf seems to become an actual dwarf! Weird!
Too bad he seems to be encased in solid rock. Better retire...hey, he can actually retire! I thought my inability to retire had to do with the sites the critters were at, not their identities...so no critters retiring and living in houses.  :-(

EDIT^5: Ferric elf master bowman? No, fire imp!
Did you know that adventurers who see adamantine praise the miners?

EDIT^6: Hellfire imp? No, troll! Very low analytical ability...hah. I went to sleep and woke up in fast-travel mode all the way across the world as a...giant olm? Oh, crap, fast-travel lottery time...Maybe I'll get lucky and become a forgotten beast or something like that on the surface (yes, titan, I know)...You can't fast-travel in caves? Another innocent giant olm is going to starve...

EDIT^7: Un-retire the dwarf? Nope, creeping eye! I wonder if critters that feed on pure evil can stave...yep, they can!

EDIT^8: Spearfrogwoman? No, bugbat! Redundancy? Yes, lots!

I would like to see underground rivers return and have them integrated into the caverns; when boats are implemented it might be cool to have dwarven traders appear on the river if it connects to a site (along with maybe friendly subterranean tribes as well...or unfriendly tribes trying to raid a cavern outpost).

Underground rivers would be a wonderful feature. Boats seem a little too safe elvish. The dwarves should swim through the damned current.

On a completely different note, I say there should be pits. Perhaps not bottomless, just something that opens the first cave layer.

Do you know how hard it is to swim without knees?

Dwarves have upper and lower legs, therefore they have knees.

So, dwarves feed domestic animals? Is this enough to keep cavies and rabbits alive?
