DF General Discussion / Re: DF 2014 Creatures
« on: July 05, 2014, 09:02:21 pm »I could be wrong, but I've heard that elephants that aren't blowing their trunks or stampeding en masse actually sound rather like ninjas. The reason? Those giant feet, on top of distributing the weight pretty well by size alone, are actually squishy. Or, you know, so I've heard. I've never felt any particularly great need to keep a citation handy about it.Yeah, skeletal the elephant foot is on it's tip toes, with a MASSIVE fat cushion from the base of the toes all the way to it's heels, and yes the tend to be extremely quite.

Otherwise i think there are other fantasy universes which totally have space dwarves.
Anyway, here is a Lego anvil shipSpoiler (click to show/hide)

« on: July 03, 2014, 09:04:20 pm »And you would be able to drown your dwarves in a pool.Development would have ended several years ago, Toady fired, and EA having the rights to Dwarf Fortress.At least Toady doesn't work forEAAnyone, if that were the case we'd have been playing DF2014 for two weeks now, desperately attempting to sidestep everything that makes the game crash as we try to make our way in new worlds full of timid night trolls that hide in trees and tyrannical yak generals.
That strikethrough doesn't block that out enough, and I'm okay with that.
If he worked for EA we would either be on Dwarf Fortress 2014 (the yearly installment that costs $50 a year) or still DF 1...but like the 50th DLC for $15
But in one of the sequels they would remove it, like sims 4.
They are not ~removing~ it silly...they are just temporarily suspending it to monetize it later in the form of DLC
I also forgot, removes toddlers to add in a later expansion pack.

« on: July 03, 2014, 01:44:23 pm »The fact that there are animals that can climb makes it new.....I now have to redesign my entire fortress, the whole point of my entrance was they couldn't climb up the area around it and my archers could pick them off at will.
This needs to happen.

« on: July 03, 2014, 01:09:45 pm »But the protocol itself is not illegal.Not really, "Torrenting legal is a gateway to torrenting illegally", works with weed.
And if Tarn and Zach are the first seeders on the network, those companies need to come up with the chewbacca-est defense ever if they want to take any kind of action.

« on: July 03, 2014, 12:10:08 pm »Because companies can have the website that aids torrents shut down and the companies that run the servers make money by going if you want more downloads pay us more..^This.^
And it's not like DF is a paid game or anything, there's little to no downside to making a torrent for it.And if it was the creator that made the torrent, I don't see any legal problems.Yeah, i don't get why some people start screaming bloodymurder, i mean piracy, the moment someone uses the word "torrent".
The protocol is brilliant for when you want to distribute copies of something to a large number of people without overloading servers.

« on: July 03, 2014, 11:55:00 am »There likely are no new creatures in the next version - Toady either explicitly said so, or said that he doesn't think so, I'm not sure which right now. Just (tons of) new plants. Major changes will probably come from gaits/the attack-move split. That would include hydras, for example.
Dwarf eating plants!

« on: July 03, 2014, 11:54:10 am »How about instead of a communal download, we do a communal torrent?
Not having the website be broken sounds like a good idea for when the inevitable PCGamer and Roguebasin etc. guys come see why this corner of the internet got so loud all of a sudden.
Tarn, if you're reading this, put DF2014 up in a torrent to keep the servers happy.
^This.^
And it's not like DF is a paid game or anything, there's little to no downside to making a torrent for it.
And if it was the creator that made the torrent, I don't see any legal problems.
