Bay 12 Games Forum

Dear Meph,

I apologize for posting so many complaints so badly.  I was trying to help, but I am not the most informed computer person and it showed.  I appreciate all that you do for us by making and improving this mod and I realize that most of our responses are criticism (if some of it actually constructive).  You are doing a great job, and I appreciate you.  This is not a bribe to get you back to the mod without taking a break, this is me realizing you should get more compliments.  I hope you can also see the large number of posts as people enjoying your mod, not just as critics.  They are still playing your mod after all!

Best wishes,

Omeganaut

So, when I was playing as the kobolds (different embark because I couldn't farm well enough with my plots continuously destroyed by rock snow), I discovered I could take concubines along (yes, concubines were enabled for lols, and experimenting with exploit potential).  To my disappointment, they were dwarfen concubines.  I checked when I switched to orcs and they were there too (along with a ridiculous amount of tamed animals considering I set the history to 19 years.)  So, what I'm saying is that concubines should be switched off (easy way).  Possibly then you might put them into the orc and kobold raws, but that's an open suggestion and not in any way me saying I need them for my game experience.

Stupid story time:  So, I tried to switch straight from kobolds to orcs, and the orcs turned into dwarfs, so I had to restart the game.  Alas, it was my own stupidity for failing to heed the warning of don't turn both on at once, so i will remember to do it the other way in the future.  Maybe just a stronger warning?  Maybe another warning that one screen you have empty space?  Or maybe just let the stupids figure themselves out.

EDIT: orcs had blobs available on embark.  along with beissworms, tame spider vermin, tame coati, tame Gray Langurs, tame blight bats, tame weasals, wombats, and wolverines.  My parent civ started in mountains closer to the warm pole, but still there are some issues there.

Dear Overseer,

Sorry about the confusion with the eggs.  I was just trying to cook up the most delicious meals I could think of for your pleasure.  Perhaps if you had forbidden those eggs from being cooked in the stocks library, kitchen section, I would have known better.  Speaking of those omelets, how were they?  Were they dry at all, because I was afraid I might have overcooked them a tad.

As a fan of Drunk Fortress, I figure this will be entertaining as well.  Plus your storytelling style seems perfectly fine to me, although most of the pictures in the earlier posts seem to be having issues, although that might be my end.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but did you cut yourself open trying to open a top?  And are you okay?  You mentioned bleeding several times, I worry that your drunkeness is almost as dangerous as Clover Magic's, and that resulted in several trips to the toilet.

Soo, I'm thinking I'm gonna have to start over... I'm not happy with this writing style, and I've also discovered the Masterwork mod, which I am currently distracted by.  I'm thinking I will have to start a new fortress in that mod and figure out my writing style.  I will start this back up within the next 7-10 days I promise.  I'm just stuck trying to figure out how I best like to play this game.  I promise I will redorf anyone who requested.  Also, I'm looking at doing a touch of modding to make some animals more available to me.  But anyways sorry for disappearing.

Currently, my chief medical dwarf is Omega, as I just give him all the admin positions so I can assign him the dining hall as work space.  And I have the lazy newb pack, and I do use Therapist.  I just found out the custom professions, and am working those out to where I like them.  So far only two migrants.
