Aren't gems either wicked sharp or dense? I killed a lot of guys with a large cut gem in adventurer mode, I wonder if it would make a good weapon material.
A.) Real life is complicated; every nuance would take a LONG time to code. The arc is underway; I'd be content with a half-solution now.All of this stuff is complex; therefore, let's start small.
Why? It's Dwarf Fortress.
On the note of Brand Names, I think it should be proceedural, so interesting things happen, like a civilization of humans that are reknown for making excellent wines, or a small fortress of dwarves that are the fashion central of the world because of their brand name over clothing. Sure it should be influenced by raws, since a world where dwarrves are laughed at for making metal or stone items would be weird.Agreed. Procureal generation of any brand names goes without saying.
Well...Coming back later seemed to work, with living bandits and loads of loot...none from my late adventurer
There's always more hill titans but as far as the missing loot and the bandits:
Either try legends or go do something else and come back at a later date maybe.
I have one problem with diagonal hallways--not that they look bad, but that they take so long to designate. (Especially with ramps!) So, while I would never make them like that, I do like the design.This.
I must say, I still find myself impressed by the sheer callousness of some of the things players propose dwarves do every now and then.And dwarves don't regenerate arms-they only heal parts that are slightly harmed.
"Hey, I need more bones, why don't I just rip my own arm off, fashion my radius into a crossbow, and then wait for myself to regenerate another arm?"
There should be a button in the quest log to roughly tell you where to go. I don't know about the two hands thing. Sounds like a glitch.There is. "Z."
Also you fail to tell them that the loin would have Maul your Eyes out and rip your arm off, and that in DF every one is Target... except for gods we can't target them yet.PLEASE tell me that's a typo...
Give Toady a few releases...well you can kill their religion and false gods but never those forces.except for gods we can't target them yet.
not for lack of trying, I'd wager.
I once had a warlord give me a quest to kill himI think that's due to a similar phenomenon that causes dwarvish nobles to punish themselves.
Clever, but it doesn't work. It is impossible to retire while holding or wearing someone else's goods, at least in 31.18.Create a new adventurer, walk into an armour shop and pick up/equip everything you can.
Then retire, restart and recruit this fellow. He (probably) won't even be a criminal.
Rinse and repeat as desired. =D
Ooh now that's fiendishly clever. Even without knocking off a bunch of loot, having a party of demigod-level NPCs is probably gonna be a vast improvement on the kind of guys you can recruit at forts.
