DF Suggestions / Re: Automatically generated burrows

Wouldn't something like this hurt FPS (because of the number of calculations that are needed to find spots to create new burrows automatically)?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: July 21, 2012, 10:56:48 pm »UPDATE- The dam holding back the river has failed due to substandard construction materials and techniques.That sounds so soviet. Good job.
Urist McLeader- Urist McSlave, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Mountainhomes and your ancestors, if you seek riches, migrate to this fortress. Mr. McSlave, grab your tools. Mr. McSlave, Mr. McSlave, tear down this wall!
Urist McSlave (after deconstructing wall)- Oh shit!!! Why did I listen to that guy?
EDIT- I didn't realize it while I was typing that, but my "pump the water out of the fort" idea worked. Now, I just have to drain said water from the lower z levels. Wish me luck.

UPDATE- The dam holding back the river has failed due to substandard construction materials and techniques. Yeah... That's right. It had nothing to do with me being bored and telling my slaves to deconstruct it...
For the record, I built the fortress in the area where the river would normally be, if you catch my drift... I'm trying to build screw pumps to see if I can save the fort (for science?). Wish me luck.

I'm bumping this old thread because, lately, I've been wanting to do something like this, so who's in?
P.S.- If someone could recommend a good file hosting service as well, that would be awesome.
Personally, I'd rather be second or third on the player list, if that's okay with everyone else.
EDIT- Oops!!! WTF was I thinking? Second or third on the list... Kinda killed the point of the whole thing...

I recently buried one of the original members of my fort in the center of a 7x7 (7's a lucky number.) tomb with statues at the entrance to honor him. I can't remember what I am honoring him for, however. I think it had something to do with the fact that he was the first to die and that his sacrifice should be remembered by the others. Now, I'm in the process of building offices for my nobles, but I'm thinking about stationing guards and placing weapon traps inside the tomb to protect the corpse. Yay or nay?

DF Suggestions / Re: Valkyries
« on: July 21, 2012, 07:19:25 pm »I'm going to go with NAY on the part of "Dwarf drinks elixir and summons someone who goes around, picking up the spirits of valiant warriors." On the other hand, valkeries might make sense to have, or at least have the idea of. E.g. valiant warriors who die in battle (as opposed to the Great Dining Hall Flood of 1052 or something) might be chosen by the gods to be in their gods' version of Valhalla or somesuch, and wouldn't come back as ghosts since they're too busy brawling and drinking and doing whatever dwarves do in DF-dwarven-Valhalla..
To be honest, I thought the elixir idea was kinda retarded as well. I like your take on this idea.

DF Suggestions / Re: Obituaries
« on: July 21, 2012, 07:15:29 pm »No, in the forum. I think.
Yes. I was talking about the forum. Legends mode doesn't explain things in the way that the player can anyway. After all, it's not programmed to see, for example, my dwarf that lived alone for two years after watching his friends and family die while scraping for food (and missing a caravan on accident) until migrants finally showed up and helping them to rebuild the settlement into a great empire. Perhaps we could call it the "Legends" section?

DF General Discussion / Re: Obituaries
« on: July 21, 2012, 07:06:23 pm »My fortress was attacked by a forgotten beast. A blue garnet quadruped that breathed deadly dust. The dust would cause near instant death by blood loss. My elite military squads could barely chip it, my miner squad only got 2 hits in before it killed them all and my useless migrant squad died before they could harm it. I had one dwarf left. A useless migrant. A wax-worker. Her name was Adil Channelsilvered. I decided to draft her into a squad, so I could use military commands to get her away from the forgotten beast. She saw it, ran up to it, and bisected it with a single punch. She had no combat related skills before that moment. Eventually, she went Stark Raving Mad and ran into a group of angry animals. She did not survive.
Cool.

Have you ever had a moment in DF where one (or more) of your dwarves do something so awesome that you HAVE to tell EVERYONE about it? Now's your chance. Here's an example to get you started-
I had a dwarf by the name of Kogan (I forgot his last name.). After watching his friends and family die at the hands of the enemy, he struggled for about two years alone in the wilderness searching for whatever plants he could get his hands on to eat along with burying the dead. He suffered through many trials (At one point of time, I missed a trade caravan because I wasn't paying attention and on top of that, the migrants that were supposed to show up never did.). When the migrants finally showed up over two years later, he helped to rebuild the settlement, and with his visionary leadership, the fortress flourished.

Okay... I'm not sure what to make of this idea, but here goes-
I was recently playing DF when one of my dwarves did something so awesome that I wanted to tell everyone about it. However, going onto the forum and saying, "Urist McDwarf did THIS!!!" would've been a waste of everyone's time. Then, it hit me- An obituary section that is set aside for us to tell everyone about our awesome dwarves. Yay or nay?
P.S.- If you are curious, I'll tell you what my dwarf did that made me so happy.

« on: July 14, 2012, 03:40:37 am »There are more easter eggs!
1) start a new character, make sure the character has teeth
2) get punched in the teeth.
3) pick up all your teeth and place them in your mouth.
Done! Not only do you have a mouthfull of teeth, but the game enabled high-quality 3D Crysis-level graphics so you can view your achievement in all its teeth-mouth-full-of glory.
OMG!!! Really? I am SO gonna try that!!!
