That's incredibly cool. Explains how those demons took over so easily.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Now I REALLY know why I fear the night...
« on: July 10, 2014, 10:39:32 am »Mythbusters and Deadliest Warrior have both done a few episodes showing the effectiveness of various crossbows. They were not even stronger than a long bow most of the time.
Longbows shot through plate just fine, though.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Friendship is Genocide
« on: July 10, 2014, 01:53:29 am »
So I've been hacking my way through a dark fortress murdering warriors and civillians indiscriminately, and have been noticing more and more goblins marked as allies popping up. Anyone familiar with this behaviour? I'm assuming they are part of goblin subfactions and there's some kind of enemy of my enemy situation going on.

I believe the mail shirt offers neck protection as well.

DF General Discussion / Re: Not impressed
« on: July 09, 2014, 12:08:10 pm »Or wait a decade or so for the game to be completed. It's kind of disingenuous to criticise an unfinished work for being unfinished.
Yeah, I just realized OP was the guy who posted this gem in another thread, so... yeah.

this Its actually a disappointment. All the stuff thats new that took 2 years pales in comparison to what Meph can do in 2 months with his masterwork. Atleast as far as fortress mode goes. I think adventure mode might have a good bit update which is cool.

He won't even claim a workshop, he just stands there, then the framerate went down to 0 so I left. I'm on a shitty laptop though, so I'm not sure if it's a bug or just particularly bad optimization.

Yeah, that's just the game being as buggy as expected. I think most of your complaints have been recognized as such. The "minor tweaks/updates" thing is complete bullshit, though... It's a fairly extensive rewrite to make way for things to come, which is also why it took so long, and why it's so unimpressively buggy.

DF General Discussion / Re: Stop complaining about the new update and current dev cycle.
« on: July 09, 2014, 09:07:37 am »Other than the one thread in this forum by the guy who's butthurt about z-levels (or something???), is this a problem? Everyone here seems pretty excited about the new version and fairly understanding of the necessary sluggishness of a development process manned by exactly one full-time programmer.
He's probably counting the UI-threads of yore, which had the same 'you're doing it wrong do it my way god damnit' theme.

« on: July 09, 2014, 08:56:28 am »Morality and fear need to be tweaked. Weaker for people with real combat skill, or something like that. Farmers should be terrified of blood flying, not trained soldiers.
Isn't that what the discipline skill does?

DF General Discussion / Re: Start playing new Version or older one
« on: July 08, 2014, 10:44:12 pm »I mean Right as in "Cheating Mode" lolYes I want to have fun and also try to stay on the right path without putting in too much mods lol
It isn't very dwarf-y of you to think there is a right path. Next you'll be suggesting Toady put in a win condition.
I would like Toady to Focus on the Bugs .. don't need anything more put into game. I wouldn't mind seeing things like Brothels and more Natural Disasters put in game but I first have to learn how to make a chair so the stripper can give me lap danceshahah.
A lapdance with DF physics sounds incredibly hazardous.

Someone condense what the OP said honestly. I don't feel like unraveling the ball of yarn.
"Pay attention to me!"

It's the anti-them thread. They get angry about things and vent (although I'm pretty sure IAMTHEORIGINALBACKEREMBRACETHEOLDWAYSANDREPENT-guy was mostly just attention-whoring and being contrarian, why would he else drop that thing on a release everyone were being excited about, when everyone was being excited about it) and then we get angry about them being angry about stuff and vent. It the circle of life... or something. In any event, there is no reason why either thread shouldn't exist. Neither will accomplish anything, but hey, if you need to get things of your chest, why not? It's not like the other thread turned into a shitstorm or anything, at least not at the time of writing.
