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

I thought Orkel said that adamantine armor sucks because it's so light though

that's why you use adamantine chain under steel armour.

[QUOTE=HALP Cat;29613895]I thought Orkel said that adamantine armor sucks because it's so light though[/QUOTE] It's very poor against blunt damage but it's good against everything else. [QUOTE=Pokey McFork;29613944]that's why you use adamantine chain under steel armour.[/QUOTE] I thought you'd use steel armor then adamantine chain mail under it.

[QUOTE=SteelReal;29613818]Silver sucks for everything but warhammers. This is from the [url=http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Main_Page]wiki[/url] and explains it pretty well.

How do you get your guys even to equip multiple armors in one slot? I assigned chainmail + breastplate in the uniform section for one of my squads, but they only wear either one, not both. They DO wear masks + helmets for some reason though.

Try making their uniform the following: 1 helm 1 chain shirt 1 breastplate 1 pair of gauntlets 1 pair of boots 1 greaves 1 high boots That should work.

Just started playing with Phoebus tileset. The combat is so much fun. I killed a little girl by stomping on her head and crushing her skull. :v: And I keep getting raped by those bogeymen. [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] You should be able to bite peoples balls off.

It's a shame my fortress is a lost cause. It had a lovely gold road and enough bedrooms to house more that 200 dwarves. all above ground, in the middle of a white sand desert too. ooh, first fell mood.

The one time I tried adventurer I never had problems with bogeymen I kept chopping of their body parts whenever I saw them.

[editline]4th May 2011[/editline] But I found his body [img]http://gyazo.com/0bc21b421d465ccc28ef541b05d8e533.png[/img] Anything you want me to do with your body? (both for Orkel and Dbhubos) Too bad I started with humans, even while I started at a dwarven civilization (bug with adventure mode? choosing dwarven civs still makes you start with humans around). This makes me unable to wear your good iron armor. [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] Or can I wear their LARGE iron mail shirt? If so, how? It tells me I've nothing left to wear.

I'm guessing Mayday's tileset is still the best choice for people who don't like ASCII? Thinking about trying this out again.

how to twist a weapon once it's lodged into a wound? [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] Ambush! [img]http://gyazo.com/686584c5d2ca393798fa0501ab59df43.png[/img] This could be the end, I am low on men, the rest is hurt, and there are quite a bunch of ambushers around me.

Oh well. Time for Scratch VI - Headthrower (I will pick up all heads I can, and throw them at my foes) [editline]4th May 2011[/editline] I'm using phoebus right now. Just a bit of changing around using lazy newb pack, which is quite useful since you can switch tilesets in a pinch.

[img_thumb]http://img853.imageshack.us/i/clubmines.png/[/img_thumb] thumbed for possible bigness. - The road leading out is more or less all gold, with a bar of bismuth bronze or two for good measure. - The really big building on the left is the dorm, it goes up about 4 z-levels and can house over 200 dwarves. - The tower in the upper right corner houses the king and mayor. - The building leading north is the jail, with the criminals thrown in some cages in a pit. - The utter cluster-fuck of dwarves and blood is the meeting area, with a artefact statue at the centre. - The entrance has a ton of full iron axe blade weapon traps. to stop camels, seeing as how i haven't seen a single bloody goblin at this site. oh, and the farm is in the bottom right of the fortress, providing plentiful plants, honey and eggs.

[QUOTE=Muntu;29614495]I'm guessing Mayday's tileset is still the best choice for people who don't like ASCII? Thinking about trying this out again.[/QUOTE] I use [url=http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2431]phoebus[/url], it's the cleanest in my opinion.

Everytime I go to a quest it gets night and I get raped by Bogeymen. anyway to make the day longer? or a way to not get raped by Bogeymen on the way to a quest?

I'm alive, but for how long? I do the same stuff with my friends, and I had to tell my friend he had been killed by a Capybara.

Well, that adventure is over, I died. I'm now gonna play fortress mode once again on that world, maybe an engraver will carve stuff about my hero or something :downs: [editline]5th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=pip12345;29618356]Got night, went into a cave... 10 FUCKING BOOGEYMEN! /c :byodood:[/QUOTE] Then I just had luck I guess :v:

But still, i died, so everyone is gone. You'll still be a pikeman once i get one in my fortress.
