Exactly, Fun.

The last of the dinosaurs as megabeasts? Unrealistic, but fun!

Pump points into shields (not all of them, but a considerable amount), get as many shields as you can, ( press r to) remove them from your pack and wear twelve to an arm for maximum protection.
You can wear multiple shields? Right, this changes everything.
If you're not playing .19.

Have you lost weight?
Oh, and also I agree with this
Does flint have it's own dedicated stone type?
Really like the idea of this mod.
Flint should have it's own stone type.
You look nice, have you done something with your hair?

« on: February 18, 2011, 07:53:10 pm »Wait, did you make the mice weapons seperate from the weapons in Genesis? Because I'm taking no chances with duped raws.
Yes. Yes I did. After I scaled an object down (using a standard formula which I made up somewhat arbitrarily and which eluses me at the moment) I would add "_MOUSE_" or something like that somewhere in the item name. The mouse weapons and armors are also in seperate files, whose names generally include the word "mouse" or "mice"
(Note however that the file I linked to also has the originals of many of the the genesis weapons too though, as basically I just grabbed the "...raw/objects" and "...data/speech" folders that I was using for that game and stuck them in a zip file.)
Also, remember, my version is for 40d, I haven't finished the updated version of it yet.
Could you perhaps just PM me the raws and equipment? I can do the rest.

If you do this, you simply have to post it. I need to slay a bronze colossus as a mouse.

You've piqued my interest. Do you have a projected date as to when this will be done? Even a guess would be appreciated.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: My best yet, Need opinions :(
« on: February 18, 2011, 04:17:21 pm »No, morningstars are bladed weapons with very short, stabby blades. They're quite effective, particulary since the spikes are small enough to penetrate armor, although if you go after something large they might not penetrate far enough to do much damage.
I meant when you're facign multiple opponents and a blade becomes stuck in one. I don't think it would do very much, but now I like how these morningstars are sounding...

...but make sure it's really itchy on the inside!!!
Dastardly!
HA! Make a demigod Centaur that has two morningstars. TWO! Then slowly gain your reputation and recruit peasants. Send em into it and when hes killed them all, break his legs. Then break his other limbs. Set fire to his cave and as hes burning, sit down on top of him as he slowly dies in agony.
Two morningstars wouldn't do much. For blades it could be useful, but morningstars are blunt weapons.

« on: February 17, 2011, 10:27:17 pm »Looks like the arms system is updated to hold only 1 object and not 999999999999999999999999, except for stones.So you become, instead of an adventurer, ansmallenourmous shuffling pile of shields.
More like this, actually. Oh, and I always make sure to carry a single buckler with me. We can't put all our eggs in one basket.
That's what downdating is for.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: ARGHHH!!! Stupid Iron!
« on: February 17, 2011, 09:01:23 pm »
It's probably that iron is better for armor than it is for blades. It's good for blades, though. Just better for armor. If you have a free hand, wrestle them, grab the helmet, interact with it (shift+i) to gain possession and drive your axe through their skull.
