DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dealing with migrants
« on: January 05, 2013, 01:44:49 am »
Hey guys and girl! In every single fortress I have the migrants just roll in like cougars, I do not like these strangers. In fact, I'd rather just have all my fortress related. For future generations if everyone is related, maybe I'll let one migrant in but for now I just can't handle migrants. Right now I've only had my first migrant wave in my new fort, 2 children, a trader and a glass maker. I could make them all useful as engravers but that's foolish. Anyways, I need help dealing with these spies.
So far I have this list to get rid of them:
1. Drowning room
2. Cave-in
3. Cage the cougar and throw the kids in the cougar pit (I think the cougar left)
4. Military draft
5. Box
I've just looked at one of the kid's relationship thingy and she has a lot of cousins, a deity named Datan and no friends so removing them isn't going to cause a problem. Anybody with a more Armok-friendly solution please feel free to share!

Curses / Juice for the liberal!
« on: September 18, 2012, 03:16:30 pm »
Bonjour ladies and gentlemen, I have a slight problem with the structure of my squad. I like to keep my leader clean, no crimes, no wrong-doing. Pure liberal but it seems the only way to get juice for Mr. Boss is to commit crimes, when I commit crimes however I the boss is always arrested and the squad loses contact due to lack of juices. The only way I can save my leader is to get a sleeper lawyer and sleeper judges but it seems I already have too many sleepers and too little seduction to actually do anything helpful, anyone got any suggestions for gaining juice a legal way or a way which doesn't mean death sentence?

Hey guys, first story so sorry if it's bad but I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
This is the story of Usmen Konliettad, the sneaky wrastler. Many people called him an assassin who fought for the greater good, some believed he was a murderer who fought for fame and money. I think you can decide on what you believe after hearing this story. Usmen was a human who's adventure started in the hamlet veilsplattered of the dutiful field, he was a trained wrestler but he was a sneaky bastard.
He got his first task from a man who's name he cannot remember, a short walk to the north east was a hamlet called diedecent. In this cozy village was a ranger called Wuspin, the vampire Usmen was told to kill. The monster was inside a room along with 4 other people, all of them were low-life peasants. Usmen sensed there was a problem after talking with this fiend, his choice of words were not exactly... humane. His choice of accessories wasn't very civil either
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Usmen was enraged by the fact that he would go around showboating the stuff he wore, sheep wool socks are no joke! He clearly knew this trouble maker was not any normal human, Usmen had identified his target but something inside had snapped. He accused the creature of the night and as a vampire, he had no skill of lying.(By the way, his father is called Bedo Fondledlenses and his mother is called Wuspin Squeezegarlics. Not exactly child safe, vampire-like names) He screamed out loud his name and threatened the sneaking wrastler, after many stabs to the chest and a few dodges the vampire was slain but Usmen was given no credit for the death of the fiend.
Usmen chatted with a nearby thresher and told him the tale of how Wuspin the vampire ranger was killed, Usmen asked for another dangerous quest. The thresher, Menung told Usmen of the bride of the narrow horror living in the crypt of oblivion. It was a short walk to the north, as dangerous and impossible as this sounded Usmen accepted the challenge and went on his way to find and slaughter a family of beasts.
Without thought the wrastler ran off to the north and soon encountered 3 beasts, an elk, a prone elk and an elk standing on a prone elk. Usmen had an unconditional hate for elk and charged them whilst still hiding in the make belief shadows, he hid behind trees whilst closing in on their position. At the closest tree he knew it would be painful to confront 3 elk so he decided ranged weapons could aid his battle, he grabbed a bunch of snow and launched it at one of the elk. He missed twice but the third strike bruised the leg of the creature, he charged as the others ran in terror and was pummeled by deadly hooves. He fell down and crawled back away from the murderous beast.The lone elk ran away but the others were not far away, Usmen started hiding again and avoided another encounter.
After a long journey he finally arrived at the lair of the monster, he entered through a hatch and searched for hours. Soon he found a meat cleaver, this was his new main weapon. He found the bride soon after, she was asleep. Usmen threw a dagger at her which struck her lower right leg and bruised it, the spear however completely missed. She spotted the attacker and stood up, Usmen and the bride rushed towards each other. Usmen wrastled with the bride but failed for she had a fat throat and his hands could not reach around it, with the newly found cleaver Usmen hacked away at the foul beast. Blood splattered everything and teeth were spread across the ground, Usmen had shown no mercy for the monstrosity. After the removal of a right ear Usmen ended the battle rather brutally, he swung the cleaver with all his strength and the bride was ripped in half. This evil bride was no trouble at all.
After a long journey back to the hamlet Usmen spread the news, he was given 2 more tasks. He set off on his journey to kill a dingo, countless hours were spent running in the wrong direction but soon he found the location of the slumbering beast in the pitch black darkness of the morale dampening cave. He had no problem reaching the horrendous beast but when he grabbed it's throat it had awoken, that was no problem as it passed out due to lack of oxygen. Usmen hacked away at it almost as if he had enjoyed it, he took the right ear as a souvenir and bashed its head until it had stopped breathing. He butchered the freshly slain animal and took only the meat.
He was getting tired though and ignored what everybody had told him of the bogeyman gangbang and slept in the snow covered in blood. He was awoken by noises and almost immediately a bogeyman started pounding on his left foot, he stood up and swing his cleaver at the night hunter but missed every time. A few seconds later 4 more approached from the shadows and Usmen was beaten to a pulp.
Everybody will remember the name Usmen Oiledhouse as the slayer of the vampire spy, sleeping dingo and terrible bride.
That is the story of the life and death of the failed assassin, the man who shamed those working in the shadows for a better future of the world.

Other Games / Greatest successses/fails in roguelikes
« on: May 18, 2012, 02:29:31 pm »
Hey people, I want to hear you accomplishments and failures which had occurred whilst you were playing a roguelike. I want to hear moments that made you feel like you bought skittles and found out there were no red ones which meant there was no rainbow and moments that made you grin like a pedophile in a park on a hot day, I'll start:
Whilst playing as a wizard I come across a uruk-hai, I forgot to wield my staff and started attacking it mindlessly. After about 3 turns of throwing punches and receiving stab wounds I had pummeled it to death. This has to be my biggest achievement on NetHack since I have no idea what it is and I don't plan on finding out just in case its a limbless rabbit or butterfly. My fail, however is much more interesting. I found a glass wand, determined to find out the effects I zapped a nearby wall. Ever since then I have been blinded by such beauty, lightening is so amazing! :)

Curses / Questions about Slaves to Armok
« on: April 21, 2012, 03:01:15 pm »
Hey everyone, while being bored I stumbled upon what appeared to be called 'Slaves to Armok: God of blood'. After 20 seconds I realized this was the prequel of Dwarf Fortress, I decided to check it out and I must say I love this game. I have so much fun with the magic in it, I just adore the fact you can teleport the heart of anything outside of it and beat it down with it. Now it is question time:
1. Are there any games like this
2. Are there any recent updates to this game? It doesn't matter if it was updated by Toady or not, I just want an updated version
3. Anyone care to teach me how to make new spells like melting brains or freezing blood?
4. What exactly does crushing do when you're holding something?
5. Anyone else play this game?
All these questions are optional, if, however they are answered then I will be greatly pleased and may pleasure myself to your reply if requested. Also I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place
Gentlemanly turtle molester AWAAY!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Stupid miner dorfs!
« on: April 13, 2012, 10:27:10 pm »
Hey everyone, I embarked on a mountain with a waterfall nearby. I had 2 miners, a ranger who later turned into a fisher, a woodcutter, a planter, an engraver and a carpenter, on previous adventures with these dwarfs I had no problem at all so I assumed there would be no problem here. There wasn't a problem ever except starvation and dehydration, after I had done the basics of making a few bedrooms, farms, workshops and stockpiles I noticed there was no stone so I searched and after seconds of scouring the map for this space waster I had found some. I designated it to be mined and so it was mined, seconds later they must have had a fight and jumped off the waterfall mountain cliff in each others arms and died because both their corpses are in the same spot. Since they are the only ones with picks I have no way of digging anymore so my fortress is screwed unless there is a way to make picks from stone or wood.
tl;dr - My only miners committed suicide and now there's no way to get their picks
Everyone is welcome to advise me on saving my fort from certain demise.

DF Modding / New to modding, need lots of help.
« on: April 11, 2012, 04:46:56 pm »
Hello everyone, as the title thing says I am new to modding dwarf fortress so I'm gonna need hours of help to actually mod the game successfully. Since it took me a long time to understand the game I think it will take much, much, much, much, much, much, much longer for me to understand modding the game in any way. I have recently tried to make the bronze colossus playable in adventure mode but I have failed so I have no idea on how to mod and what to change. Just so people don't get confused I am going to make a list of things I want to learn because it will look organized and to show the priority of importance to me:
1. How to make a new race or character.
2. How to make a race or character playable in adventure mode
3. How to make a new ability for a certain race or character
4. How to make bronze colossus playable in every mode
(The list is shorter than I expected and I apologize if no-one can understand the text at the top.)
(P.S. Muchas gracias for the help)

Hello everyone, I want to play a game. Not really I want to ask questions, I will list them with numbers because my OCD forces me to keep everything organized. Also I have no idea about anything in dwarf mode so please do not be shocked if these questions are stupid:
1. How do I make artifacts or things that are really cool?
2. How do I make weapons?
3. How do I get seeds?
3. Can I make weapons from ice or other stupid materials?
4. How do I make picks?
Thank you in advance to all of you, even those who do not offer advice. Except you heartless elf lover.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Incest!?
« on: March 25, 2012, 03:37:28 pm »
Hey guys, I just thought about sharing this with you.

The child of his parent is the child of his sibling yet he has no shame in admitting this to the only man who he cannot trust, what must be done to this fool? Also, if I murder him then kill his nephew/cousin I'm still a good person so don't try telling me Armok won't be proud!

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Becoming a necromancer
« on: February 25, 2012, 01:40:56 pm »
Hey people, how do I become a necromancer? So far all I know is they live in lairs, and on the second floor (I think) there are tons of zombies. This is what I've read because I can never find a necro tower, are they closer to capitals and are there any recommended tactics for clearing their towers or do I just run in and throw corpses of children around?

Hey guys, I'm new to DF and recently tried out adventure mode and I read all over the forums that people get killed by bogeys because they are alone at night so I didn't want to become a victim of these and decided to recruit a swordsman as a companion. Thinking I was safe in the wild with my experienced blade wielding chap I decided to take a 4 hour nap, little did I know while I was slaughtering and torturing riding flying unicorn sheep through a rainbow in my slumber my muscle decided it was time to pack his bags and leave without thinking about either of our safety. I awoke a few minutes later because of disturbing incessant cackling, I knew it was something dangerous and since I was scared shitless I chose to dive into the nearby river. Less than a minute later a bogeyman joined me and started advancing in my direction, since there was only one and I was armed quite well I thought I could slowly drain his life while drowning and starving myself. I swam to him and thrusted my sword towards his stomach, missing in the process and also getting my lower body gored by one of his fucked up horns. Soon after 3 more of his friends jumped in and gang raped me while continually breaking my face. My question is why would my companion do this and what do I do when surrounded by these evil savages?

Curses / Death Sentence Injustice!
« on: December 28, 2011, 07:29:09 am »
Hey guys I'm new :) that's not the point, my question is how serious is racketeering? The leader of the LCS Isaac Isaacson was given the death sentence by a conservative jury, he only committed this crime once and it was his first offence. Surely there is something wrong with this and does anyone have tips on how to kidnap and enlighten judges and lawyers?
