Makes sense. Where else would mushrooms (plump helmets) grow but a refuse pile?

DF Suggestions / Re: ranged combat too powerful
« on: August 28, 2008, 08:48:32 pm »
Ranged combat should be a bit overpowered. Why else would anyone ever bother with archers otherwise?

I want HE AP crossbow bolts.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: When does the action start?
« on: August 28, 2008, 02:10:11 pm »
I remove "Baby Snatcher". Then there is a trigger for the goblins in the raws, which decides how early they siege based off your wealth and your population. Normally it is at 2. Putting it at 0 breaks it so they never come. At 1, Goblins usually come within 1-2 sleep cycles (and usually while your guys are asleep).

DF Gameplay Questions / What is "Other Features?"
« on: August 28, 2008, 02:03:08 pm »
In the auto-region finder. "Aquifier", "River", "Magma Pool".... and "Other Features".
What is "Other Features"? Flux? Hidden Fun Stuff? Caves?

Need a game for prisoners.

Like the old Meso-American games, where the loser is executed. Public entertainment for execution.

So this is actually speeding up the game, or just the refresh rate?

I think that this is mainly because of the game itself...this game is "only" played by a small number of dedicated people basically.
Most of the people who just try out the game are scared away ASAP by the ASCII + interfance + complexity of the game.
Yep. Note the title of this thread.

DF Suggestions / Re: Better goblin sieges with war machines.
« on: August 27, 2008, 11:53:13 am »
I suggested a steam powered drill machine before, and people said it should be used by goblins as a siege machine. Add it to the list I guess.

Watch the counter for the forums. The number of registered people is almost always more than the random guests (and then consider many of the guests are just bots). This is possibly the only forum I have ever seen this phenomenon on. Its like something out of the forum twilight zone.
