DF General Discussion / Crazy Legends of a Tiny Island
« on: June 23, 2012, 12:58:24 pm »
So, earlier today I came up with the idea of generating a tiny world with lots of civs and 1000 titans. I'm sure this has been done before, but the results of said generation are... incredible.

I introduce to you: Teyo Inala, The World of Portents

The world is in the Age of Legends, 500 years old. There are 30 civilizations; 9 Dwarf, 9 Goblin, 10 Human, 2 Kobold. There have been 146 wars with 2813 battles. There have been 64158 historical figures, with only 6191 currently alive. The current world population is 69938. The most populous groups are Goblins with 23362 members, Humans with 23178 members, and Dwarves with 4290 members. There have been 80454 deaths, 55150 of which are human deaths. There are 2478 artifacts.

Most kills:
Anaya Newbudded the Early Dead, a demon with 810 kills. Died in 196.

Most deadly battle:
The Dented Siege in 86 with 820 losses out of 886 combatants.

General Discussion / I need to interview somebody who smokes
« on: March 28, 2012, 06:27:44 pm »
I need to interview a smoker for a school health project. It's just 8 questions. If anyone here has experience smoking, I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer these questions:

1. At what age did you begin to smoke cigarettes?

2. Why did you start to smoke?

3. Do you believe that smoking is dangerous to your health?

4. When you began smoking, did you believe that it would become a habit for you?

5. Do you believe that substances released from cigarettes can affect the health of non-smokers?

6. How do you feel when non-smokers ask you if you would mind not smoking?

7. How do you prefer to be asked not to smoke?

8. Do you have any message at all for a young person who is just starting to experiment with cigarettes?

Again, thanks so much if anyone could answer these questions for me.

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarf unit graphic messed up
« on: February 18, 2012, 10:06:49 am »
Basic problem: the dwarf unit image is messed up in DF.

I have a fresh install of the very latest version and I have a graphical tileset. But the way the dwarves look in-game does not match the tileset's image.

This is the tileset I'm using:

This is what the dwarves look like in-game:

Notice how they look like ugly colored blobs? Not good!

I don't have any graphics sets either that change the way people or creatures look. What's even stranger is that the way the dwarves look has nothing to do with the tileset- I've switched to different tilesets and the dwarves still look like they do above.

I honestly have no idea why this is happening or where the game is pulling those dwarf images from.

Life Advice / What to do with this journal?
« on: September 04, 2011, 09:27:22 pm »
Okay fellas, I bought a little journal yesterday because it looked cool and now I don't know what to write in it. It looks like this (the brown variant):

Now what should I write in it? It looks too cool to waste on worthless words. Plus I'm not really a 'write in my diary daily' person, so that doesn't really run well with me.
