Dwarf Fortress v13 - Orkel looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible! - Games

[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;29365647]There's a very hidden single door into the fortress proper somewhere on a hillside.[/QUOTE] Fuck, I'll never find the entrance

I finally got around to playing this... Is it bad that I have to use a graphics pack in order to enjoy the game though?

[QUOTE=NINTENDUDECT;29370669]I finally got around to playing this... Is it bad that I have to use a graphics pack in order to enjoy the game though?[/QUOTE] not at all. I use a graphics pack, because it's easier for me to see what something is at a glance.

I just had a rather unsettling experience. I was playing adventure mode and I cheated with max stats so that I could explore without worrying about bogeymen and such. So I ran around and killed all kinds of things. Villagers, bogeymen and animals couldn't even hit me and all my attacks would lop off limbs. I was unstoppable. Or so I thought. I was fast traveling one night when I was pulled out of it with a message something like "You are feeling very uncomfortable." A few seconds later, "The Midnight Man" appears on screen. He starts ranting "I am The Midnight Man, slayer of [this king and that demon and so on]" He listed at least a dozen names before saying "prepare to die!" He proceeded to beat the fucking piss out of me with his bare hands. I only got one grazing blow to connect the whole fight. He knocked my teeth out and broke my legs and kicked me while I crawled on the ground, unable to attack. He just punched and kicked me until I died. It was fucking brutal.

Can't wait for the city update.

Was testing the Bronze Colossus vs 4 dragons. He walked up to them punched all their brains out instantly killing them all. I then put 15 master Giants vs the same one. He killed them them all. I then put 30 Goblin warlords equipped. He killed them all too. Has fucking OP is the BC? Am scared to meet one now. :ohdear:

What should I do when I first start? Like, what main things do I need to do to get anywhere?

[QUOTE=Mercykiller;29379251]What should I do when I first start? Like, what main things do I need to do to get anywhere?[/QUOTE] Get a farm, get a meeting area, get a dormitory, set up a still, and either get a mason's workshop up, or find a consistent source of wood and get a carpenter's workshop. Those are the bare essentials for a fortress, until you start getting attacked of course.

[QUOTE=Orkel;29378984]The most dangerous creature in the game pretty much.[/quote] Unless you throw a fluffy wambler at it, of course. :v:

[QUOTE=Mercykiller;29379251]What should I do when I first start? Like, what main things do I need to do to get anywhere?[/QUOTE] Take only one cat when embarking. [b]one[/b]

Or you know, two cats of the same gender.

Apparently the king of my civ is a drunkard. [b]by dwarven standards.[/b] I really don't want to let him near anything higher than body temp right now, for fear that he might explode. [editline] [/editline] My civ is called the key of conflagrations, and the old capital was near a volcano. Another dwarven civ has a forgotten beast as their symbol, and they really don't like me. that can't bode well.

I found 3 dragon eggs in the lair of a dragon. What should I do with them?

[QUOTE=Kiwi Bird;29386730]I found 3 dragon eggs in the lair of a dragon. What should I do with them?[/QUOTE] kill a dragon with them. its the only way

If only dragon eggs could hatch in adventure mode and the resulting hatchling being added as a companion.

Can anyone tell me how to set a limit on arriving immigrants/number of waves?

[QUOTE=johnlukeg;29389939]If only dragon eggs could hatch in adventure mode and the resulting hatchling being added as a companion.[/QUOTE] Toady intends on adding this once he makes it possible for you to capture, then tame, animals. Of course you have to remember that Dragons at [I]250 years[/I] are juveniles, and only reach full size after 1,000 years. So unless your adventurer is a Goblin, Elf, or mod the game, you'll have a small Dragon for a LONG time.

1000 years... that's a lot of tapping the period key.

Or am I mistaken?

[QUOTE=Confused111;29391881]Well, Rocs have eggs as well, and I don't think they live that long. Or am I mistaken?[/QUOTE] They fully mature in 20 years, and since they're blessed with megabeast status they're immortal.

Yay I got a goblin in my stockpile, lets see how well he does against the moose men.

Hi, everyone, I've been trying to get into dwarf fortress for a while now, and I've succeeded! But, now that I have built a mostly self sufficient fort, I don't know what to do.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;29397682]Start building awesome shit! Get ambushed/sieged! Fun Fun Fun![/QUOTE] But the thing is, I don't know what to build, I can't make my dwarfs work, and somewhat unrelated, but there is this damn pike that keeps irritating one of my woodcutters by keeping him from drinking. He doesn't bother to move to the pool right next to him, he MUST drink from the one that has a pike in it.

I swear, I can never ever find any coal unless I'm extremely lucky, at best I may find iron ore, but it's useless until I can make a decent magma smelting system, which takes to navigate to magma safely, which I'd prefer to have my metal armour and weapons earlier on. Is there indicators as to where coal could be?
