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

[QUOTE=Orkel;27379217]It's not going to. The pools are in caverns, and when you hit a cavern it'll pause the game and give you a message. And even if you hit the pool directly, it's not going to flow magically upwards.[/QUOTE] It potentially could if you hit a weird spot. Water pressure is a cool thing like that. [editline]13th January 2011[/editline] That's very unlikely, though.

Right, I've a plan to divert a river into an artificial cistern blocked off by a floodgate, hope it works.

Has anyone got Stonesense working with .18?

Guys, I was exploring as an adventurer when I discovered vast fields of plump helmets being grown by humans... ... I think science has gone too far.

Downloaded DF, can't make sense of the ACII. I need a graphics set or tileset.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;27412265]Try Mayday, google Mayday Dwarf Fortress. It'll link you to the download with Mayday preinstalled.[/QUOTE] Got Ironhand, dunno if it's any good. Anyway, preparing to embark. How do I make my dwarves miners and stuff? It shows points on the bottom of the screen, but I don' know how to add them. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] Nevermind, shift =. I'm dumb.

So, yeah. My entire fortress was taken down by a tantrum spiral started by a single dwarf whose pet fell in my moat and froze at winter. Only one dwarf left, a legendary miner. And there's giant cave spiders and gaint olms being held back by a wooden hatch. I wonder who'll win the fight after i open it?

ohgod i am so lost

Remember that mining skill adds into the combat skills of the dwarf when fighting with picks. He might even take quite a few down with him.

Right, my magma chute for my Smelters is full 7/7, it won't erupt out of the hole under the actual smelter will it? :ohdear:

about that miner, he got the crap beaten out of him. a titan arrived along with some migrants. The miner was on the sueface hauling refuse and he got pounded into an alcoholic paste. also, listening to katamari music makes dwarf fortress so much more bearable.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;27413301]Right, my magma chute for my Smelters is full 7/7, it won't erupt out of the hole under the actual smelter will it? :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Nope, if I remember correctly lava only behaves as a fluid on it's own z-level.

Hope so, kinda Hope Toady changes it so that Volcanoes can erupt etc.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;27415478]Hope so, kinda Hope Toady changes it so that Volcanoes can erupt etc.[/QUOTE] Yup, Canuhearme? is right. I'd like a system in which pressure can build (regardless of Z-level), so when a hole is opened... boom. And with that you could implement oil drilling, to use in the many pre-1500 uses of hydrocarbons. [quote]Pouring-oil was used in a number of historic battles, and Josephus described its use at Jotapata in AD 67, saying [b]"the oil did easily run down the whole body from head to foot, under their entire armour, and fed upon their flesh like flame itself."[/b][/quote]

[QUOTE=cyclocius;27415478]Hope so, kinda Hope Toady changes it so that Volcanoes can erupt etc.[/QUOTE] And cause Pompeii-like events

[QUOTE=Confused111;27415747]And cause Pompeii-like events[/QUOTE] Or more like Eyjafjallajokul. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] I swear I don't even know how I got the name right.

You know what's fun? Go into Arena, move the screen over the bridge in the top right. Put 9 regular soldiers on one end, in steel or bronze armor and on Team 1. Same with the other end, but on Team 2. Now, put one man in front of each armor, both with at least Great skill in the other's skills. Give them adamantine armor and an adamantine sword and shield. Take control of a soldier for added fun. [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] Also soundsense is required, so you can hear your comrades scream as they are slaughtered.

My plans for a vast cistern have been put on hold as I just realised I'd embarked on an Aquifier :downs:

right, gonna play adventure mode, get to by old fortress, pray that the titan is gone, and try and grab all the armor i can. And pull the arms off anyone that gets in my way.

Is the mayday tileset/game the current version of the game or not?

[QUOTE=Mr. N;27427679]Is the mayday tileset/game the current version of the game or not?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure Mayday's has been updated for 0.31.18. [editline]15th January 2011[/editline] yep, it is: [url]http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php[/url]

Made a character in Adventure mode with most skills on the highest possible level, and I got killed in the first 15 minutes because a guy with a silver scimitar cut my head off.

Made an even stronger character, slept, bogeymen ate me. [editline]15th January 2011[/editline] Bogeymen keep eating me for fucks sake. What the hell is a bogeyman?

irritating little gits that come out at night and murder everyone that's not inside. Also, the titan wasn't gone, but it dodged one of my attacks and jumped into the moat, so that's ok then.
