Oh, thank you ^^
So, there's no way for the walls to be destroyed (unless made of wood and on fire, etc)?


IIRC even walls made of wood will be fine with fire and magma.

Tip: Walls, floors, stairs, ramps, fortifications. These are constructions, they can never be destroyed because they were made by DWARVES. Even those hulking building destroyers will never enter a walled in fort.

Even an ice wall + magma will never, ever melt. Provided it is made by a dwarf though and not just smoothened out but that is another story  :)

Recruit him, he is a war leader.


You will really win with him.


And try ranged equipment from then on, you will want to leave melee to him. Dust gets stuck in your eyes  :P

By the "bad" side, construction of any type (including mining) goes like this:

W>E>N>S>NW>NE>SW>SE

Its horizontal/vertical then diagonally (diagonally only works with mining I'm told)

I was killed by bleeding out from dragon fire, but my death in legends read

Quote
Bled to death, slain by an iron war hammer

...!?

Guess what was part of the dragon breath? Iron  :D







I tried going one on one with a night monster in its own lair, got lucky hits in and decided to take the night out in it.

Only to find out that it has a husband...Sleeping so soundly, I find a knife right next to my face, next thing I know is just a cracking sound and then blackness.

Idea: If we want a first multiplayer fort in the hall of legends, why don't we work for it? Looks very hard in multiplayer when people are on and off at times but that is what the Notes option is for  :D

Lets try that in one fort shall we?

 :D

That is one badass dwarf.

Only armed with a sword he charges at a night monster.

And then cleaves the head off in one blow.

I love the detail you put into the facial structure and emotion.

If you gen a world where your parent civ is dead, go use that, it fixes the number of dwarves you have and adds to the fun of it all  :) . Currently living 10 years with only <25 dwarves. No deaths yet and 2 warring civs (Genesis)

Also if you do get to use Genesis, make sure you do have centaurs and you are at war/ at strained relations with them. Their size gives them a nice advantage!

Just got the mod.. looks great so far, but one thing is driving me aBsolutely nuts - the music.. I KNOW THIS MUSIC! But I can't place my finger on it! Where's it from? More specifically, the music in-game in dwarf mode.  *Twitch*

Edit: *Twitches more*

AHHH I KNOW IT! Its on the tip of mah tongue!

Crustypeanut cancels brainstorm: Too insane
Crustypeanut has gone stark raving mad!

Edit 2: *Twitches*

Its an old game.. one I played often.. this song brings back memories.. memories so blurry.. I CAN'T REMEMBER!

Edit 3: AHA!

Its from the Warcraft Music player! I KNEW IT! DAMNIT I KNEW IT! I played that thing so much while playing WoW.. *Twitches* 

P.S. I love your mod.
Somehow I knew that music felt familiar.


Anyway the new additions to Genesis are great!. I'm using the one before they removed Illithids and werewolves but still, I love a mod that compiles all mods. With extras!




Bug (?): In an effort to drain and dam the brook I had, with water spilling overland and muddying it all, in some time (autumn, winter, spring. Frozen ice spilling out of pump -> Unfrozen overland water)

Then all dead bushes/tree saplings appeared as ASCII in Ironhand graphics (Giant red I's)

Could someone sum this all up? 4 pages might be too long for a discussion this grave.  :)

Could you post the download link up soon so some of us could test it?

Reserve the best surprises for the last, finished bit though.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.   That isn't already the plan, don't start rumors or put ideas in peoples heads.  SHHH.

I love the suspense.

Suggestion: Add an entrance to the catacombs, fill it with loot and traps. Say hello to your old-school tomb raider  ;D

yes, but why clowns?  that's what i want to know.

Toady wanted this to be hidden, for those who have experienced it he came up with euphemisms to hide the words.

"The circus is lots of fun".

That is how you hide it but it seems that now, many people overuse it and then spoil it.

We need more experienced scribes around here. Newbies deserve their fun in the right way.

I made pet rocks once.
They were modified cave blobs made from granite that died easily.

die easily when they are made of fucking granite?!?

a mod I use has tiny granite creatures called momons, and they wiped out my fort, after shrugging off war hammers, picks, spears, swords, etc.

how the fuck are they weak?
I dunno, but it seems that one hit seems to kill them.

I guess you forgot to edit the structure and skin (?) layers of those blobs, there is still a lot more to edit than just the composition of the creature. Ask someone who knows how to edit the Raws, you may have missed something.




And is my idea of pet rocks coming through?  :P

Don't forget, all thieves aim for children (not kobolds, they aim for stuff mostly)

Children either meet at the wagon (default), in their bedroom (if you designated any) or in a meeting hall/meeting area so if any of the above are well guarded, the goblins will have lots of fun getting to you!

Why don't we just write a small phrase before a spoiler tag so everyone can know.


Like !Warning, Spoilers ahead!
Then the
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
tag?

Simple solution for the over-curious.

Demons aren't spoiled if you see them in adventure mode.

They ARE spoiled when people just tell what happens when you pull the thingy from the earth.


That just kills the fun in what you will find out by a long shot.  :'(
