Thanks for posting the dwarf descriptions, I'm already working on art.

Anyone who winds up as a vampire should be given the next turn as Overseer.

My interpretation of Leperfish. If you feel his skin is too orange, not my fault, DF gives every color a specific RGB value that doesn't really ever come up anywhere and I cannot deviate from the canon.

Interesting that our god of mountains and caves is an eagle rather than a dwarf... Maybe it's a similar case to beak-dogs?

I imagine that in the days before time, some dwarf was climbing a mountain when a giant eagle picked him up and threw him off. Forever after, dwarves knew that the mountains belonged to the eagles.

Yes, new Dwarf Fortress LP! I am surprised I managed to get in under 300. I can't wait for my dude to show up in the middle of a siege and die instantly.

I thought I would contribute with my rendition of Osram, God of Wealth.



Radical. Obviously we should have a different person depict each member of the pantheon.

Sweet a new DF LP. So there was an idea I was toying around with during Gemclod. Doing kind of a build-along, constructing the fort in minecraft and then taking ss and maybe a video to give an idea of the scale of some of the mega projects, like the duck keg.

Is this just a dumb idea or something you'd guys like to see? I don't want to detract from the actual LP, just provide a more 3d visual than stonesense.

I don't think it was updated for either new versions of DF or new versions of Minecraft, but there was a utility for importing DF maps into Minecraft. It did each tile as a 3x3x3 block with floors just being 3x3x1. It was pretty cool, but it seems like a big hassle to do manually. It would be interesting to see how you handle it if it is something you attempt.

If we have dinosaurs shouldn't they be called weird names in order to fit withing the existing canon of velociraptor = "beak dog"?

Beak dogs really aren't quite velociraptors. For instance, they have beaks. They also have gizzards, which I guess velociraptors might have had, dunno.

They do have the same number of toes.

There is no 'can't'

All it takes is 5 seconds and adding in the [TRAINABLE] tag in the code. I usually add [TRAINABLE] to every single animal when I first load up a new version of DF.

Well, except that unless your fort is in an evil swamp then every beakdog you ever see will already have been trained. Trained to hate you.

Don't you also need to re-world-gen for edits to creature raws to take effect?

[TRAINABLE] is one of the ones you can add to an in-progress fort.

Since it's a random material, you'd have to pull basically the same process that you use to take [BUILDING_DESTROYER] off of demons.

I'm tempted, but unfortunately I'm actually pretty busy this week. Plus I've had some bad experiences with tiny undead in DF, and I don't want to be the guy who has to post the update explaining how someone died fighting a zombie kestrel.

Alternatively,
1) breach caverns
2) excavate every soil layer
3) all your bins are white, yellow, red, blue, and purple
