Bay 12 Games Forum

I've got about 1/11 of my nature reserve to finish, plus with the amount of cotton candy I found, I could probably strip mine the lot, then bolt smelt spam until EVERY DWARF is armoured in the stuff.

Then I will destroy hell, and finally stop the goblins. Except the ones in my soon to be village, soooo cute £:

Btw, should I keep the village goblins armed?

*Edit, until I can get the airlock system, I'm going to keep test subjects unarmed.
I gave a goblin high master thief two cats to cheer him up, but he just threw them into a wall. I forgot to lock the hatch and he escaped, and sadly, I had to put him down.
Soo... Goblins don't like cats?

Wait.. They have a natural immunity to cat mind-control?

SO THAT'S WHAT THEY SAVE THE CHILDREN FROM!

Is having children get strange moods rare or something?

It proves that even children do their part in the dwarven society. The baby beards aren't just for show!

We need a serious modder's opinion here, or better yet, a game dev's.

Well, the topic's title could be a little less.... D:

Never enough.... D:

Ok, I'm sure you're right... No idea why PARASITES are D: though. Aren't they O: ?

Anyway, enough de-railing. We need some serious objective views on this.

First attempt:

One dwarf.

No skills.
Equipment: A toad leather loincloth - weapon

vs

40 kobolds

No skills

I killed 7, then dodged down a bridge head first.

Attempt two in one minute.

---

Attempt Two: Utter failure. Seems like fighting 40 kobolds causes too much tiredness, my dwarf survived a mortal wound for multiple turns but passed out twice from the tiredness (so did quite a few kobolds). Gonna add 5 levels of Misc. Obj user after lunch.

Ok, third test proves it. Without armour, 40 kobolds will just gang you until you drop from tiredness.

---

Fourth Test,

Expert Misc Obj User
Toad leather armour (Coat, 2 gloves, 2 shows, helm and trousers), Toad Leather Loincloth weapon (Damn kobolds MUST eat my loincloth. Got quite a few kills by smashing skulls into brains with it)

vs 41 kobolds
No skills or equipment

Outcome: Dwarf suffocated while unconcious, after eye was bitten, reducing eyesight to one tile. 16 kobolds dead. Most of the with their skulls smashed into brains, by a toad leather loincloth.

Interactions/Syndromes are basically this suggestion anyway. There's pretty much no difference whatsoever.

We're suggesting syndromes that spawn vermin/more creatures... And there are a few crazy ideas also flowing around. Then again this is a thread that thrives on the idea of having vermin exploding out of corpses, so I'd have to say, more crazy ideas which I think wouldn't be able to be implemented into the vanilla :/

Point is, the syndromes/interactions interface should have a possibility than allows modders to make these effects insane. Meaning, syndromes that turn you into wood/trees (elven), or into 15 dairy maggots. A divine being that transforms Clowns and the people who opened the circus (miner and all of your fort) into cotton candy statues and veins. (Woooo)

-snipped the quote-

*Edit, come to think of it, I should probably keep it away from dwarves for another reason, I've had them vomit on an artifact rope reed toga once :/
DWARF VOMIT IS NOT RIVER WASHABLE D:

It's in Loud Whispers' sig thread.

Meaning, depending on which layer the vomit is, they'll be pretty much clothed. Also, dwarven vomit is inexhaustable. (Btw, they aren't actual layers, but the vomit wont get washed off - it sticks forever... WDF IS IT MADE FROM? - New !!SCIENCE!! topic, anyone?)

Anyway, ending the major de-rail.

Any news on the Community-Named Ponies? Any new ones? (Is hoping to hear about a pony cheesemaker called Wimpony)

Here at the Dwarven Dairy Co., we strive to improve the dwarven standards of life in every aspect.

Up until now, we have been known for our most delicious Dwarven Dairy Co. Dwarven Cheese^©, the finest from the mountainhomes.
Due to recent advancements in purring maggot evolution however, we have been doing major !!SCIENCE!! to see how we can still effectively milk purring maggots and also use them in our daily diplomatic actions. -A purring maggot attacks a goblin and lays eggs in it in the background-
Thanks to our recent breakthrough, we bring you... The Dairy Dip^©! Based on the simple principles of Dwarven Physics, this trap offers both dairy from purring maggots and a great way to deal with all those pesky elves. Simply pull the lever, let the maggot do the dirty job of dismantling the elf's innards and then milk the new maggots! We guarantee the elven blood will not damage the product.
Buy now and we'll give you a second Tame Purring Maggot for free!
The Dwarven Dairy Co. does not claim responsibility for any harm caused by purring maggots, The Dairy Dip^© or other DD Co. products.

It's funny 'cus the elves would refuse to harm the maggots >:]

Elf: Awww, poor little maggots in the dark cave with nowhere to breed. I'll help you!
