[QUOTE=Orkel;29929873]Where'd you hear that?[/QUOTE]
Toady mentioned that there will be nonlethal bar fights, so he's definitely able to add in a mechanic for non-skull cracking punches.
Still, punches that jam the skull into the brain aren't exactly unrealistic, he just needs to make it so the average peasant with an ungloved fist can't do it.
Right, that. But I doubt it will be in the next update.
As always we will wait.
I just found out you can place designations with the mouse.
also, I discovered the third cavern layer by virtue of a magma pool in it, which was found when I dropped some animals in the volcano to explore the magma sea.

[quote]Imagine the citizens of the empire, banding together under force to build giant monuments to their king. In these elaborate crypts, the dead rulers will be entombed with their families and all their valuables. Centuries later it would take a hero to brave the night creatures dwelling within and seize the treasure. A hero, or a fool.

A fool, eh?
Toady should make an intelligence stat that makes you trip over or scratch your hair at "smart" conversation options if it's really low.
New devlog, and lol'd hard.
[quote]Toady One In the midwinter of 73, Teme the Law-Giver led one hundred humans and 33 townie elves against an assault by various forest creatures and their wild elven masters. Teme's defense was successful, but he was struck down by a grizzly bear. The humans constructed the Tomb of Planes and interred Teme within, where he lay for 100 years. Then I went in there, took Teme from the coffin and put the body in my backpack. Obviously the defenses will need to be improved.[/quote]
It's impossible to play as an archer as every tile an arrow/bolt moves the enemy moves and I end up getting ganged up on after my first shot.
the best tactic in adventure mode is going great swordsman/whatever wrestler. grab enemy -> throw -> stab them in the face while they are stunned for an easy kill.

I always go Talented Swordsman/Talented Thrower, pick up bolts/arrows (which are common for your first bandit camp) and simply chuck those from 2 tiles away at enemies approaching, you usually manage to puncture something important before they can get close enough to attack (and then you usually counter-attack and lop off something important.)

It's DWARVES, goddammit. Every single time I see that retarded Steam game pop up, I immediately rage over the moronic misspelling.
Also, this is what happens when you fall 5 z-levels:

I am so sorry.

It was related to the plural of dwarf and elf, but it seems my talking point was incorrect.
[quote="Devlog"]After pawing through some treasure, I was arteried in the leg by a giant axe blade, then cursed with bad luck and boxed in the face by a mummy. The defenses have improved, but a bit more is required.[/quote]
heh. arteried.
Sounds awesome.
When it gets released I'll have to port my brain fix and doing that is gonna suck.
My Dwarf on adventure woke up without both his ears and blood everywhere.
No one else was in the room and i had * You hear barking!* over and over. :ohdear: Any reason for this?
Oh and add me, please. :smile:

Apparently capybaras ripped off your ears while you slept.
And how could he hear barking without ears? :iiam:

[quote]The first thing I noticed when I entered the pyramid was two groundhogs lying in pools of their own blood. I guess they should keep the door locked if they don't want the wildlife gumming up the traps. With my keen observational skills, spatial sense, focus and intuition, I was able to spot even the traps that rodents hadn't set off. Various ancient corpses were set into slots in the walls, including the odd dwarf. Eventually I reached the sarcophagus, surrounded by bodies that had been disinterred from the catacombs beneath the city and set here along with their fallen queen. That should have been warning enough, but the alpaca bone figurine was too tempting. The moment I seized it, the queen arose, and with a gesture her followers rose with her. I managed to spill her desiccated guts with my trusty axe, but that didn't stop her from animating my body after I was dead.[/quote]
You better be able to use the artifacts you find.

Isn`t it kind of [i]ironic[/i]
For god's sake, I can't build a well anymore. It keeps telling me "Needs chain".
I made ropes, I made chains, they are in my stockpile, they are not forbidden, they are not claimed, they are accessible. I even built 3 wells before that one, but suddenly it won't work anymore.
Known bug? Or any other ideas what the problem could be? :/
EDIT: Also, what workshop does a moody Herbalist need? The wiki tells me there's no specific one, so he'll use the Craftdwarf's workshop...but he isn't.
EDIT2: Oh well, he just died of thirst. No big loss, since all the skills migrants seem to have are herbalism and cheese making.
EDIT3: Oh, player list in the OP...wanna add me? :buddy:
Made another adventurer and after finding my first mission already dead I got another. I slaughtered the bandits party, and it was only him and some unconcious guy who I hacked in the chest. I chopped the leaders leg off and figured that I could go hack the unconscious guy's throat out. By the time I brutalized him in every manner possible, the legless leader was gone and I couldn't find him. Will I have some crazy one legged bandit stalking me in a quest for vengeance?

When the cold moon shines down on the black marsh, the poor, tortured soul is transformed into a hideous night creature bent on mayhem. The were-capybara is only one of the myriad lunatic monsters that terrorize the living. Is it the moon or some other force that triggers their madness? And the bite, the bite that passes the curse along to the unlucky survivors. There is a way to defeat the foe, be it silver weapons, or even water. Find it quickly, lest your dwarves go howling into the night.[/quote]
Were-capybara oh my god yes
So, I used dfreveal to try and find some Magma. Went down about 100 z-layers directly below me and found jack shit. Is this normal?
