Bay 12 Games Forum

I tried out site building and just as I feared I'm occupied in fastidious pointlessness like singling out larch trees for the exterior. I have a temporary tavern zone under a temporary shelter with barrels of booze, a chest of cups and a chest with one instrument. Because I'm using advfort for the structure, my companions are all bullshitting around while I do all the work, but I've learned a few new forms and works from it.

I've got the beginnings of a longhouse mead hall, about 460 square units area, on a raised basalt block foundation. I'm not far from a beach shore with tides creeping in, so I have to hurry to get a floor on it to move the tavern up. I plan on a paved obsidian central floor for the tavern area, and a pine wood floor around that will be zoned for the main hall. I also struck a gold vein in the obsidian, but no idea yet what I will do with it. It's so heavy and has to be carried 10 zlvls up, so I'm reluctant to rely on it heavily.


EDIT: A crash brought me back to my senses; this was only supposed to be a temporary base to raid the Dark Fortress 1 world tile south. But maybe after I'm done they'll come visit the tavern for R&R. I think 'The Rancorous Forks of Horror' would be the kind of beach and leisure resort demon thralls would enjoy.

I left the deadweights behind because I knew I couldn't trust them on an infiltration mission and slunked into Ruthlesscradle by light of the full moon. Mothers all over my civ have cried about their abducted children being taken here, but cell after cell was empty. If I had to count I would say the total human population here was me. Of the many times I've attempted this mission, not once has it ever gone remotely as described! Whoever claims to have rescued children must be either full of shit or playing a different game!

Since the mission was a scrub and they didn't have any loot worth sifting through, I left them my calling card: an assassinated lord and 44 skinned beakdogs.

What's going on in my adventure is that groundhog's day has finally worn out my enjoyment of the game. I'm going to wait until 42.07 to gen a new world, and companions in general can go fuck themselves. It will be a long time before I take any interest in escorting them around with me again.

Could I recommend that the README, after presentational description of the plugin, the insertion of some Installation Instructions before going into deep detail about its functioning. Not everyone uses an LNP pack, and it would be easier for non-modders or not-yet-modders if the zip's files were organized in their folders of the gamedir structure.

Then a 1 sentence install explanation ("unzip that there") would be sufficient, and the rest of your thesis would be read by those with an interest in development, and not as a forensic investigation into where the fuck these files go.

Oh man, I just remembered something that you're gonna want to hurt me for probably... unfortunate for you I'm already fully buffed on a balm of power, but the fact remains: you can write down choreography, poetry, and musical forms among other things... which you can then learn by reading said books... even as an outsider.

I'm afraid that doesn't give you any new forms, it'll only compose the ones you have. You can use that to write unique variations of improvisational forms. And learning from book doesn't give any new forms, you just get the emotion from learning it. That especially goes for 'learning' from reading what you authored -- you'd have to already know it in order to write it.

Keas, motherfucking keas. Because of the concentration of them in the mountains, I've made 6 failed attempts to get to get to an aerie just on the other side of 4 region tiles. Every time I put up with the lag to get through various stages up to and including killing the fucking roc, I crash on saving.

And my goddamn companions can't leave a single one of them alone. It makes less sense than their hatred of crabs, because they're not hostile to anything and there's nothing to be gained from killing them. In terms of skill development, there's hardly anything to be gained from fighting them. 

Intelligent Wilderness Creatures don't have an Outsiders option (yet) because they don't have civilizations of their own (yet). They can only be civilized enough to play as a character by joining a civilization. They get more flexibility for starting civs.

I've only seen them in history, here. There's 3 goblin slaves and 4 elven slaves among all the 5-6 digit civ pops. They're all in tombs, except for one in a Dark Fortress.

Official war criminal.

Nope, just a criminal. I'm not even a member of a civ, much less of their armed forces. Though at the time I would have been classed a beast and subject to summary execution. If they did bother to prosecute me, what more could they sentence me with?
