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

I just butchered six elephants. I now have 2000 meat. That was a bad idea. :v: [editline]3rd March 2011[/editline] Also I just realized a problem with my tunnel leading down to the magma. The magma is now obsidian, but the room is also full of 7/7 water and there's no way to drain it...

My olm man adventurer got his leg bitten off by a giant tiger. I then beat the tiger to death with it, and bled out immediately after.

I can't help but feel there should be a polar opposite god metal to go against Adamantine, [sp]and no, Slade doesn't count.[/sp] Perhaps a blood red metal found in small clusters within Adamantine tubes or in the semi-molten rock itself, that's corrupted with the essences of the demons which give it amazing blunt damage properties?

A god-tier blunt weapon metal would be totally unnecessary.

Speaking of Hell, I keep getting this idea of a more visceral Hell (possibly divided into levels as a nod to the Divine Comedy.) Imagine the Slade floor covered in "piles of filth" with rivers of blood and lakes of molten sulfur, pus oozing out of fleshy walls (that require an axe, not a pick, to get through) and yellow living bone providing the infrastructure for the entire thing.

how do i engrave stone when i assign a area to be engraved dwarfs do nothing [editline]3rd March 2011[/editline] also every single one of my dwarves are throwing tantrums fighting eacother

If so, the tantruming might be what's causing them to be unable to engrave.

okay thats it all my dwarves are going berserk so i am starting a new fortress

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;28402252]Imagine forgetting where your room is :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Actually it would be fairly simple to navigate in real life

i have just found HFS no clowns spawned i guess i'm just incredibly lucky that the game glitched

[QUOTE=nmagain;28402325]i have just found HFS no clowns spawned i guess i'm just incredibly lucky that the game glitched[/QUOTE] It's not immediate.

i unpaused the game... [editline]3rd March 2011[/editline] 3 fire fiends spawned, i blocked the hole anyways

But because we're talking about dorves, all should be well. Though one difference I would make is make the main dining room in the very middle, engrave it to the max. Happy dwarves + legendary dining hall!

cool bug fixes

I'm waiting for that bugfix to even try the newest version. Looks like some pretty hefty patching.

You should be able to enchant weapons so your best warriors can hold lighting swords and shit.

- 0003959: [Dwarf Mode -- Jobs, Farming/Farmer's Workshop] Penned Animals Get Fought Over For Shearing, Butchering, Etc. (Toady One) - resolved. Radiant AI: DF edition?

Hello! I saw an elf the other day. Horrible creatures. I've heard others say the same. Goodbye.

I had an idea. Explosive arrows. Make gunpowder, make a bag and fill it with powder. Attach the bag to the arrow, launch it at shit and watch them explode.

A single page for eight hours? Is DF really this unpopular?
