Random Discoveries
« on: May 27, 2015, 07:37:59 am »

After hours of !!SCIENCE!! I have learned a few things.

The controlling group of your starting site will promote you to a higher position, like a mayor, if there are no other candidates for the position. If you were promoted to a higher position in a site, your adventurer will return there if you retire; Interestingly, I've never been able to meet a retired adventurer without doing this. If your starting site's group controls a site, you will never gain control of it by claiming. I've also found out you can retain some of your running speed by taking softer turns (I.E. east, northeast, then north.)

Have you cracked any adventure mode mysteries lately?

Also, a small question; do any of you know if you can recruit soldiers from a retired player fort? Was considering making a fort for that purpose and was wondering if I am doomed to failure from the start.

I found that if the civ's only place is a tomb, you'll be spawned on the roof and the mummy wont attack you. Meaning you've got a free tomb, if you can resist the weapons and survive the drop.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

Worldgen fortress on top of the candy tube, instantly spawned circus that slaughtered about 150 dwarfs and goblins.

They will linger in meeting halls/bedrooms and be boring as hell and won't be interested in leaving.

the mummy wont attack you

Do mummies even attack at all?
Last time I went to a tomb I danced over the sarcophagus and nothing happened.

That was probably empty, they chase me around happily even when I've got the right tags for undead to ignore me, though they don't attack in that case... still creepy how they follow you.
