Well, first the obvious:
-Does the Troll civ have [AMMO:QUIVER_AXE_HLG] underneath [WEAPON:TROLL_AXE_HLG]?

Then the non-obvious:
-Perhaps they need a melee-only axe as well, because the game is currently giving axes only to designated melee "axeman" troops?

The obvious is checked, obviously.

The less than obvious - you may be on to something there. I've not seen a troll bowman yet, but it sort of makes sense the game would only generate melee equipment for troll axemen.

I suppose I could try switching the bow skill for the axe skill and so on. Edit: yep, that fixed it. Uploaded with fix (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7978) using the currently unused crossbow and blowgun skills. Also limited trolls to mountains and limited the maximum number of trolls in the world to 2000 so that they don't wipe the poor halflings out every time.

For some reason I just found Gloomy Pickledjuices the troll weaver living with a Treequeen weaver called Sludges Stoneseas, with no less than eight tame elves in their shop.



What a wonderful world.

I like how it's a 'bear'. Like, not a wordplay-bear or something. Just a bear.

All the bears in this universe will stop to chat with you while ripping your throat out.

But can they guzzle ale? Who knows, maybe they actually like the stuff.

The bears were actually inspired by an image I found on the "Draw your adventures" thread in the Adventurer Mode forums. The picture was by a forum-goer called "Vester," I believe and it was originally found on page 11 of the thread.

I suggest you replace "INTELLIGENT" with "CAN_SPEAK", so we can at eat them should we get the chance.

if I make a reaction that uses a reagent in a barrel do I also have to specify the barrel as a reagent?

I believe so, not sure though. Haven't touched reactions since the alchemy stuff.

Soo... Panserblekks are now officially [TRAINABLE_WAR]. Have fun!

Now that we have bears, we need Triple-Bears.

Question, If I make a solid material that has a contact syndrome and have my Halflings make clothes from it will they get the contact syndrome when they where the clothes?
Contact syndromes are only spread through contaminants right now.

New stuff: trolls can speak and taunt, as promised earlier.




To reduce spam, this works so: 10% chance a troll is a taunting troll, shouting at enemies 1x/day. 5% chance a troll is a bantering troll, talking to friendlies 1x/day.

Speech file:


Raws with speech enabled:


Also, if there's stuff you think trolls should say, I'll be happy to include.

Edit: increased percentage chances. Lower favors fortress mode, higher favors adventure mode. It's about finding a balance.

Says the guy who wrote the creation myth where the gods are inept grad students inspired to create horrors by various pests living in their dorm :P

I'm pretty happy with the balance of joke/serious there actually. Talking occasionally gives the trolls very cool moments in combat and outside of it too, while the occasional puns make the atmosphere not too dark. Maybe too many aggressive one-liners, they get a little monotonous, but meh, writing 100 lines without having any is hard.

These trolls are insane. They remember beings who never existed. Dwarves are clearly a myth.
