Ecen Sunsbuckles has been adventuring for quite some time, but he lost all his companions and stopped at an old castle to recruit some more. The castle was clearly abandoned, but that meant Ecen could help himself to a few dusty gems and a finely crafted bronze longsword that menaced with spikes of native aluminum. Then something strange happened. In the highest tower of the castle was the lady of the keep. She acted as if nothing was amiss and spoke of her family and was happy to hear of some hermit/werewolf I'd killed. And then, in the basement (or is it a dungeon) beneath the castle Shanum Zangurjal, a simple peasant peasant with very long hair and narrow ears and pale taupe eyes with very large irises. Shanum is happy to go adventuring. And she's proved remarkably skilled with her bronze boning knife... And fast, despite no indication of abnormal agility... You're not able to recruit vampires and werewolves, right? She's not going to murder poor Ecen during the next full moon is she?

Mummies... I thought if I didn't touch anything in a tomb, if I just read the memorials and looked around a bit, that I'd be fine. Sixty undead and an angry, cursing mummy thought otherwise.

Forward_Bee posted:Ingrish Kubukbuket... general... vampire... I know DF isn't there yet, but it's getting there. While I was killing a bandit gang in the sewers, if I squinted hard enough and tried not to notice the ten thousand copper gauntlets everywhere or the annoying eat/drink interface or that it's too damned slow, it really almost just almost nearly felt like a real game. Until then, we've got the legends to make everything taste a little better. I found out my companion, who I suspected to be a vampire or other monster, was actually a mom of 11 kids, but she was an only child, on account of her own mother being kidnapped by a night creature and turned into his bride right after she was born. But that's not the creepy part. The creepy part is that her mom came back and attacked her a dozen times throughout her life, never managing to injure or kidnap her. No wonder she was willing to go off and adventure, anything is better than living in that nuthouse.

Internet Kraken posted:So anyone had any success fighting mummies alone? I can't beat them. They always summon a dozen zombies instantly and I have no choice but to back out or get torn to shreds. They really shouldn't be able to summon that many zombies instantly. I won't even fight mummies because of the bullshit curse. In other news, I shot out a guy's throat while I was attacking a bandit camp in the snow. He ran away and I went after him. It was very surreal to chase after him while he bled out over the pristine white terrain. Funny, I actually felt bad for the little ASCII dude.

I think it's cool that all the bandits I've slain have different coins from different civilizations and minted in different years with various, often crudely minted images upon them. But I don't want to have to pick each drat stack up separately.

MalkSticks posted:Anyone got a link to that mod that lets you abandon a fort and have it still exist as it was? I'd like to start up a new fort but can't bear the thought of having this one in ruin. There's no mod that I know of and I'm not sure the current DFHack has integrated DFusion to let you change modes cleanly. If it has, just change mode to Arena, then select one of your dwarves to play, then change mode to Adventurer, then select Give In To Starvation (this will kill the dwarf, so make sure you selected a loser). The problem is reloading the fort. It's possible to Adventure Mode your way back to the fort and switch to Fortress Mode but all your dwarves are listed as "Friendly" and not actually under your control, which means your fort will Wither Away as soon as you un-pause. You can't fix this with DFHack, you need to know how to use DFusion, but it's a pain and a bear and it's maintained by a guy with poor English skills and the inability to explain anything. I haven't tested any of this in 2012, but I'll be looking at it over the weekend since this is going to be a big part of the next LP. Speaking of which, does anyone want to help with the Trap Fort LP? Maybe make some banners (We need a few different ones since we're not just playing Adventure Mode) or bookkeeping (you'll get a 3x3 office with unsmoothed stone and a single, crappy microcline chair in the middle of it) or any other sundry tasks? Also, if you have any favorite creatures or buildings or such from mods, let me know and we'll get them in. I don't want any massive rewrite mods, since they tend to overwhelm the gameplay, but a few of Internet Kraken's krakens would spice things up. Do we want to see a return of the Arrogant Ones or were-firesnakes just to finally let Boing be right?

Not least amongst which is the ability to tan your collected wolf hides into stylish undergarments. There's probably a few of those sorts of mods out there worth a peek. I'll take a look and keep you all posted. It's going in. The new version includes some alchemy and other bits. I was going to take a look at it this weekend, because I feel like it has a few too many options, but if you think we should include the full suite, then let's do it.

Nosfereefer posted:Until I finally caught my mayor red handed after 10 blood suckings. He was sentenced to the grand total of 200 days and got reelected. And the first thing he does when he get out is kill TWO people in the main hall in front of EVERYBODY, and all they do is send him back to jail for another 200 days. I find it incomprehensible that there isn't a punishment available that equates to "Enemy of the Fort" that outcasts said dwarf and turns them into a legitimate military target. As I understand it, that's how vampires work in the real world... Maybe Toady's been watching too much True Blood.

Forward_Bee posted:Assuming physics function in a similar way since the last version, be wary that dropped blocks, based on weight and maybe velocity?) WILL pierce through multiple mined out z-levels. I know from experience; killing that mayor via a 15 level drop seemed cool, until it smashed through my barracks, dining hall, and part of the farms. A disconnected piece of rock will crash through any constructed floors or mined out floors until it hits solid ground or attaches itself to a rock outcropping. This happens regardless of whether it's dropped from 1 z-level or 100.

Maybe it's the fact that the dude has finally started to make a decent living off of this. It's easier to focus on the inane poo poo when you know you're being paid. In the past, he would sometimes pull in $1200/month for writing complex code--I know I'd want to focus on what was fun for me when I'm making $10/hour to write code. In other words: keep donating, assholes.

You know, if the parabola is constant and a minecart follows a straight path when launched, then you don't even need bridges to separate your dwarfs. You can just have giant chasms that they shoot minecarts across. Or, if you want to be more exacting, you could have a blank wall with a few holes in it that you fire the minecarts right into.

Like can you edit the raws to have a wooly dwarf and then get them sheared? Is that how trolls are in the goblin camps, or is it some weird hardcoded thing where goblins spawn with trollfur clothes? Do trolls even wear clothing themselves or is their fur good enough for them? Toady has already said that troll-shearing currently only works off-camera.
