Fun fact about the combat system: Ripping the heart used to not kill you, and even now quickly bleeding to death is just a placeholder. Because braindeath from blood deprivation isn't done yet.

Simulationist. I like how the dwarves are virtual people instead of units you produce from a factory. In a true "asshole engine" manner, playing with them is fun precisely because they have their own thoughts and opinions about the world they live in.

I love Threetoe's stories about evil adventurers because they show why exactly going around with a Zelda/Final Fantasy mentality is a bad idea. You can do what you want, but a realistic society has safeguards to stop people like that.

While adventure mode needs goals, they are best provided by an open world where you can start working to make yourself a king or some other similiarily outrageous goal. Th world isn't made for your story, and that's why your feats in it are so phenomenal.

I'm trying to create a superior adventurer character, but despite giving him physical stats of 5000 each, his punches merely shatter bones. I also tried to make a new attack "chop" which uses only five percent of the hands surface area, but it was even less effective. How can I make punches and kicks that send entire bodyparts flying off in arches?

I modded Chuck Norris into DF, and things got out of hand from there.

Post the raws, i want to play as Chuck [whom will be badass]

That was like 2 DF's ago. I had to delete DF multiple time because of errors and such.

That's understandable. Too many divide by zero's, counts to infinity and faster than light punches. I've thought of making a Chuck Norris adveturer too just to make attacks for every single bodypart.

On topic, I was crossing a frozen ocean and found out that it was full of ice blocks of differing heights, blocking my way. I followed one particular ice wall until I found a crack in it, and tried to alt-move through it.

BAM! You have collided with an obstacle 17 floors down!

For the nyancats, I modded in a new material and tissue called pop tart. Despite using pretty much the same settings as meat, butchering and then trying to eat the pop tart results in licking it, which I take means it is inedible.

Here's the end of the MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:POPTART_TEMPLATE

The biggest thing missing from DF compared to standard roguelikes is more and better loot. At the moment there's no improving your gear after you've got yourself armored, especially since only artirfacts are those made in your own fortresses.

While the next release will have slabs of secrets to hunt, I'd like to collect more powerful equipment as well.

I have a friendly neighborhood batman in my current fort. He became friendly after getting revenge on the forgotten beast that murdered his parents.
