@toxiciron: You CAN kill someone (in DF) by using nothing but your hands. (Other than strangling/breaking em) You can wrestle their own clothes off and throw it at them, it will travel at the speed of sound and break them.

That happens, try getting an appendage removed and throwing it back at the one who removed it. Vengeance.

My Talented Elven Swordsman versus a Night Terror!

My speed = ~1600
It was faster than me, I kicked open the door to its lair and announced my presence. Prepared with my iron sword and pine shield, I thought my speed would give me an advantage. I had no armor but leather on.

It glared at me with three giant eyes, brandished its silver cleaver and rushed me. Next thing I see are two letters dancing in the ground.

My lucky shot cut off the hand that held the blade, next aimed strike at the lower left arm sent the creature off a three-z-level cliff. It lived, I then figured my luck and decided to test it by Firing a singing arrow at the terror.

It got stuck in the brain.

My best battle yet.

Trying to even play this game D:

That is a good facepalm.  ;)

Was experimenting with elves again, casting fireball arrows and shooting em off. Every enemy had parts exploding in blood mist/clouds but survived, even a shot to the head but not hitting the brain. How. Is. That. Possible?!

Also, sometimes I see frost-bite coming from those struck with fireball x. I got frost-bite when covered by boiling blood mist a few turns later, cured by fast travel but seeing you freeze by flame is kind of off.

Note: The image for the warrior princess <Ezrakim> is a bit off. It looks like a little girl NOT a warrior. And a small bug, sometimes when creatures die (bonobo monkeys for one) they turn into their ASCII counterpart, it became a blue m)

Using the Ironhand tileset.

I used an elf. Levelled him in the art of the blade. Sent him alone against the Kobold cave.



Hilarity ensued, I got zerg kobold rushed and was pushed off a 4 z-level cliff. Survived and was rushed again by the ones at the bottom.

*STAB STAB STAB*

...



Tried again with another elf, this time alone, again. I went to the ground so gravity wasn't a problem. Was surprised to see the <100 kobold horde routed by a small YAK group and a Rock Lion who I renamed Fenrir. Revenge was mine and me and the lion won the day. I also got a raw adamantine amulet from all that, it was just lying around.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Your top 5 deaths!
« on: August 30, 2011, 07:12:34 am »
I keep on using elves for their harder experience, its a lot funner that way.

5. Night Terrors...
4. That unlucky fall when you dodge too much.
3. "AHH MY ARM!!!" *SNAP* <Wrestled to death and surrounded>
2. *Casts Fireball Arrow*, takes a step. "Ahhh!! My hand!!" <Genesis Mod>
1. Kobolds...Yes, kobolds...

In the number 1 lay that. I died by solo-ing a kobold cave. It was an epic battle. After learning my mistake I went again, received help by a LION and YAKS in the same area, they never had a chance. (Unarmored...)

Small question: Since most armor is generally a one fit for Elves, Humans and Dwarves. Are all those humanoid races nearly the same size? I'm testing the flying syndrome with Sylvans as my tester, I'm seeing lines of red and bodies slamming against walls as a result. Illithids, Other elves, Keepers/Nords...


And I think I've found a bug(?). You pick up a stack of water(x) or blood(x) and auto-pack it in your backpack. Then you want to drop it, you drop everything in that backpack too, with no control on it. Is this a Genesis only bug or Vanilla one?

32873
@Deon: I have no idea how that happened, it just auto-attacked and flung the poor bandit. I did the leg lock adjustment though. It looks like it made itself work out. I tried the same on a surviving swordsman, didn't fly at all when I threw em.

Also, how do I check the size of creatures in Genesis? Does that have to do with wrestling/throwing? Bronze Colossuses throw things well...

I thought you couldn't throw humanoids of a similar size, even with superelven strength.

I think Deon edited the size of the two elven civilizations. Not sure anyway, never expected that since the second one I tried to throw remained in place, although stunned.

Genesis Mod

Sylvan Elf. SuperStrength.
I go into a wrestle (until Adept) with a wounded Dusk Elf (same size, different Ethics) and end up breaking her apart. Then this happens.

Three whole screens to the northwest. From dabbling to Adept...  :D

If it may, could you please post the link to that?  :)


Found a bug(?) below:

I have a Sylvan Elf adventurer with supersylvan strength.
Turned my combat preferences to Close Combat (wrestling) to train it up on a wounded Dusk Elf bandit. (Wounded by jabbing my bow, acts just like Tomi's bayonet but the name changed and a tiny bit of editing to make a difference.)
After some turns, I break mostly all appendages and grab hold of her lower left leg. Then throw her.
This happened, I thought the fact of being fly-weight was removed? Don't mod it out, I love this. From Dabbling Wrestler to an Adept. And from that to legendary on the rest (who sadly did not fly no matter how many throws I performed.)

P.S. I love the image change when you get to Legendary in a skill, +Red Headband and martial look.

On another note, When you gather wood from any tree, you get pine logs.

Leather is now back!!

Small question on the raws, how do I replace (patch?) my old Genesis raws (before all the new stuff) with the new ones? And if I get the seed of the world created and re-use it, do I get the same world? Or do I have to download the new release and generate a new one?

Necromancy...

I wonder if they would bring in the priests back, divine wrath upon those who dare wake the dead!

Looks like wrestling will return to its former glory?

Funny, one of these threads never goes down without somebody suggesting the terrible torture and mutilation of children.
But it's SO fun to kill them!
Given your name and avatar, I have to agree.

The Genesis Mod has an ASCII Release for the latest version, you can get it by clicking on one of the Dev's links in the signature. Problem with tilesets (for me) is that when you record a movie and play it, you see moving corpses instead of dwarves/elves/goblins/humans/kitties...
