Dwarf Fortress - Mom, why are those Elves eating each other?

[HALP Cat]

Think about goblin vets and radared beak dogs.

[coilgunner]

even more uses for the animal caretakers!

lawd... the updated gore in injuries combined with the new adventure style fighting logs in df mode is going to be amazing and hectic all at the same time!

I cant wait to send a squad of 10 axedwarfs to dispatch of 7 ambushing goblins... it will probably be about 4 pages of epic text.

ok yeah I am a legendary wrestler/ambusher (got ambusher on start) skeletal raptor that vanquished three mountainhalls and a few forest retreats.

And all my body parts have been severed.

I THINK I MESSED WITH THE WRONG ELVES

[coilgunner]

What version are you using? you have guts!

I must have missed something ;_;

[HALP Cat]

40d probably, he keeps telling me about his dwarf companion shenanigans.

[Cloak_Raider]

How does one go about telling my dwarfs to move the anvil inside?

[HALP Cat]

Furniture stockpile.

[Funky Mummy]

Damn, lost interest in DF because of my ability on embarking on shitty spots. Fantastic game so I've got to give it a go again. The icon on my desktop does that puppy eyes face so I can't resist it. :v:

[QUOTE=HALP Cat;16863249]40d probably, he keeps telling me about his dwarf companion shenanigans.[/QUOTE]

yep

oh oh did I mention the time when I turned all the ~120 elves in the forest retreat into dragons and they burned their trees down

[HALP Cat]

Should've turned them into wizards.

[Zezibesh]

Wizards cant do magic missile yet

[Micr0]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;16900321]Wizards cant do magic missile yet[/QUOTE]

But they can burn down the world with a flick of their wrist.

[Zezibesh]

Oh they CAN actually do something? I just thought they were there waiting for proper magic. awesome

[Micr0]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;16900607]Oh they CAN actually do something? I just thought they were there waiting for proper magic. awesome[/QUOTE]

They aren't actually [i]in[/i] the game unless you modify it. But they do have the fireball ability like fire imps and magma men.

[Zezibesh]

Well I saw them in the Companion transform list >__>

[Micr0]

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;16900998]Well I saw them in the Companion transform list >__>[/QUOTE]

Well, I guess that makes sense since it's a working creature. It just isn't in the game until you add a line that lets them in the game or something.

[TrueNash]

I've been using the Dig Deeper mod recently. Good god is it hard; 20 strong orc raid in my first winter. So much new content though and really brings new life into the game.

[HALP Cat]

Fuck you, I was raided by 7 skeletal mammoths in the first season.

[pato2747]

Fucking shit, none of the 40d# versions work for me and basically the only solution for it is "lol reinstall windows". Anybody else has the same problem?

[coilgunner]

:D

being able to go on raids killing people as legit animals will be awesome.

Also, the arena!

[coilgunner]

also also, whales slapping sharks

[Nenghis]

Alright guys.
I finally got the idea of making a waterfall in my dining hall overlooking my arena.
I got a dorf down to create one of the final pumps (the first one to pump up water)
He gets finished, water starts rising, and he gets sucked down into the hole.
*OH SHIT!* I thought *Did he have any relatives that might throw a tantrum?*
So I checked the dorfs profile, realizing it was a she :v:
And then I saw a deity, and all the other 198 dorfs as "Passing Acquaintance"
So, no tantrumin' I guess :v:

And you guys, what are you up to currently? Any mega-constructions?

40d16 is up.

Nothing really new, a little more control over zooming apparently.

Awesome, just one thing, how can I move over Mike Mayday's tileset over to this one? I assume that he haven't updated his pack since it already comes with DF in it.

[editline]12:47PM[/editline]

Ok so I've started another fortress after a few weeks of not playing. Lets see how this goes. Kind of annoying since my fort isn't on the same level as where I can get water/wood and other things but we'll see.

[Funky Mummy]

A whole day and no posts? Dear god what has happened? Anyway, I'll spark som new life into this thread by posting the result of my boredom! I drew a dwarf! I'm quite satisfied with him, drawn with a mouse.
What do you think of it so far?

[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/dorf.png [/img]

It's still a wip, gotta fix his helmet and add some scenery, perhaps some shading and whatnot. Need to fix the helmet aswell. My reference was actually the DF icon that you can use for your shortcuts. The miner dwarf that is.
Also, I was going for the uh, messy style actually. I drew with the line tool first and then drew over it with a brush.

[editline]05:45PM[/editline]

Wow, the picture became a bit large, he's a big boy isn't he? :v:

[Rediscover]

Okay guys, first time playing DF in awhile, started a new fort.
Wish me luck, I think I'll need it.

Whooo new talk! Probably one of my new favorite things to do each week is listen to these.
