DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: sturgeon, do they have brains? can they be killed at all?

silver flail, sorry.  I gave up. my companions all drowned. it would wake up and attack occasionally despite having most everything deep red/ shattered with the entire river downstream red with blood for many square. Cool, in a buggy way.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / sturgeon, do they have brains? can they be killed at all?

I and my companions have been whacking on one forever. shattered its skull 100+ times. won't die. been heavy arterial bleeding nearly the whole time, and almost all body parts are deep red. it there a way to make it die? I feel bad for it.

in related but less urgent news, does anyone know how to suppress "the press alt-y to confirm attack" part of making aimed shots on a sturgeon?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / You are freezing/being frozen solid messages? also need
« on: February 23, 2007, 12:42:00 pm »
Hiya.

My fairly uber swordman has little to fear from critters, but noticed that he was getting the freezing message wandering around a ruin...

when it changed to "freezing solid" I headed for the exit at maximum warp...

what is this and how do I counter it?

I gather building a fire isnt it.

should I put on clothes over my armor?

What should my guy be doing for a challenge? He has maxed stats and is legendary in most combat skills... killing minotaurs just isnt exciting anymore.

I slaughtered a few towns out of boredom and irritation they wouldn't talk to me.

Then I killed a bunch  elite bowmen in some ruins. the last two I didnt even bother sneaking.

where do dragons/hydras/titan's hang out? they sound like they might survive more than one or two shots...

thanks for all comments/advice

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Repairing outlaw status?
« on: February 16, 2007, 04:09:00 pm »
Heya. My fairly advanced character accidentally annoyed a townsperson (picked up gold that wasnt mine, guess I thought it was owed me) didnt notice the "$'s" so when I realized my mistake (out in the town) I dropped it and a guard attacked me.

needless to say this didnt go well for the guard.

I tried to go see a mayor to report finishing a mission, but talking no longer works, and when he attacked me too, my cournterstrike made him lose his head.

Evey town I have been to similarly attacks me.

Is there anything I can do, or do I just avoid towns of all faction/race from now on?

thanks for all advice,

Snee

Interesting development in my current game... I went seeking a minotaur, and found some sort of fortress.

The downside is I was fairly deep in when I suddenly became tired and very quickly overexerted. (why so little warning?)

Now I'm on the ground dragging myself toward the enterance when the minotaur shows up... even though I killed half a dozen critters including an iron man from this position I dont like my odds.

Can I become unexerted by using the 5 key, or the period? is my best bet just to keep running for the map edge?

I've learned the joy of strangling with this adventurer, and am loath to give him up...

Thanks for all advice.

thanks... turns out my guy was just sneaking around town, for the skill bump, when an axe lord spotted me, took offense and one shotted me.

Another problem I am having is that the mechants I want to buy from keep getting killed off.

Occasionally enormous melees spontaneously erupt in town with pschotics slaughtering eaxh other including the little children (and merchants) what causes this and how do I prevent it?

Or at least find it in time to participate, usually I see the messages but only find the bodies much later.

Thanks for all replies.

« on: February 06, 2007, 11:57:00 am »
It's exceptional, but the merchant will only let me offer him so much... I've been stealing food and selling it to him to increase the amount, but it seems like he's ignoring most of my currency....

how do I get him to notice the obscene quantity of gold I am carrying?

also which description words imply the best quality item, in terms of function?

thanks for all advice

Thanks.


Few more questions, hopefully slightly more obscure.


Is there a way to consolidate piles of coin?

my best character has three pages of it (whoohoo!) and its distracting.

Is there somewhere safe to drop it so I dont have to lug it around all the time?

Has anyone else noticed that charging anything bigger than a gremlin is a bad idea? Strike seems too effective if less interesting. What am I missing?

Does armor wear out? I haven't noticed "x" creep yet, but trying to decide whether to sell my gauntlets or swap in equivalents from a zombie lord kill.

Appreciate all replies.  :)

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Newb questions
« on: September 06, 2006, 04:10:00 pm »
Hiya.

Love the adventure mode, havent figured out some basic things yet...

1) Is there a way to disable sleep (Z)? I eventually hit it by accident and my character instadies.

That being said, will eating or drinking help my character when they are tired?

Is there anyway to save them once overexerted in battle?


2) is there a benefit to doing missions?

The mayor generally says thanks, and nothing happens.

3) My elf got some copper chain off a skeleton, but it refuses to appear in the wear list... should I try to get my cedar chain back, or is it the metal wearable with a trick?

4) is there a list of item qualities somewhere, hard to know what is better than what.

5) almost forgot, most importantly, how do you make a turn pass without moving?

I hate having to charge a monster because the tempo is wrong!

Appreciate all replies.

Thanks,

Snee
