Seraphi Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I am swimming in two veins of adamantine and have a master strand extractor working right next to the stockpile of raw adamantine. Most of my military are dressed in full adamantine armour+weapons (except hammerdwarves, of course), and I had some left over for adamantine cloaks... So I thought why the hell not make goblets/furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexaduro Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Heh, wonder how they'd do against the demons? Is it possible to win against the forces of HFS? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Seraphi Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm digging through these veins upwards, so no HFS yet. They're probably all too stupid anyway, since one of my best dwarves dodged off a bridge and drowned. Another one is using two swords, an artifact adamant sword, and an artifact iron sword, in the same hand, and an adamantine shield in the other.

Jehosaphat Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I am now thoroughly tempted to name all of my military uniforms after Fire Emblem classes... and have all the high-agility classes enter the training spear room to train their dodging to legendary. On a semi-related note, this is my first fort to break 100 dwarves. I think it's due to the lack of elf/goblin civs existing.Also my first fort to have triplets, who all died ironically in a fun aquifer incident. (One of them was swimming in salt water(wth censor?) until it reached 7/7, then he drowned like an hour later. o_O) Oh, and totally random bit: I HAVE NINE PAGES OF DEAD TIGERS AND MONKEYS. MY HUNTERS KICK ASS. Wait.... something killed a forgotten beast. News to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Huh. Double post, but that was rather interesting. A forgotten beast attacked my 22 dwarf fortress before my military had any weapons and armour, and suffice to say, I assumed I would be having a lot of Fun. So I armed my two militia up with some daggers from goblin theives, and sent them at it, but they were miles away. The only one nearby was a single mason. He was trying to build a wall to seal it up and save the fortress, but he was too slow. He ran, terrified at the beast behind him, writhing in flames and breathing fire, until he could run no more; he had reached the end of the mineshaft. Knowing that this was the end, and the military were still at least 2 minutes away from him, he lunged at the monster... And snapped its neck. Instantly, my hope for this dwarfs survival was restored and made all the more intense by the awesomeness of what he'd just done, so I keep watching, as the two exchange blows. The mason takes a hit to his left arm, bruising it, and a flurry of blows against the monster do not even phase it, when he strikes again; a broken leg. He has been hit by around 20 blasts of dragonfire and around 10 fireballs from point blank range, and all he has to show for it is a singed beard and a bruised arm. He strikes once more, smashing the beasts arm. By now, I am fairly amazed at what this dwarf has managed to do, but I'll never forget what happened next: He took a blow to the spine, breaking it, but he was still standing. He took a deep breath, and, to my absolute amazement, tore the beast in half. He was quickly rushed to the hospital zone while I stared at the screen open-jawed. He is rushed to hospital, where I believe he will survive, but will never work again. That said, I believe he has served the fortress more than could ever have been expected, and will be allowed to stay in the finest, gold plated room in honour of what he has done. A lone, untrained mason, with ragged clothes and without a weapon, killed an ancient beast from the depths of hell. What's more, he did it with a broken spine, and he tore the damn creature in two. And he had a singed beard all the way through. Smells sort of... IT SMELLS LIKE DWARF FORTRESS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am now training a military squad and waiting for my hunter dwarves to hit legendary crossbow status so I can go forgotten-beast hunting. This map just has an overall lack of fun.

Nexaduro Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha... I haven't laughed like that in a while. ROSS! YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO LOOK UP HOW TO COPY THE RAWS SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN IMPORT THAT DWARF! They did that with the Elven King of Dwarfs, and he practically killed a dragon with his bare hands in the Arena outside of his first game. It's not just luck alot of the time, some guys are just inexplicably good. Case in point?

Seraphi Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 So I built an arena and a ton of cage traps so I can easily train my military against active opponents... I caught a yeti.

Seraphi Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nah, just tame and butcher those. If a big monster comes along, say, giant tiger/elephant, those are the monsters you want to train on. Also, seiges supply vast amounts of "gladiators", if you have a 3x15 corridor filled with cage traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphi Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I modded DF with the civforge pack (Adds like 8 other races, some of which trade, others of which are aggressive) and there is a slight problem with it... They keep making the dwarvern civilisation go extinct, which means no migrants, which means I need to regen a world. I'm sure it's just been bad luck, but 3 worlds of no dwarves seems a little excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehosaphat Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I think my next fort is going to be a "solo-hermit" fort. That is, one guy who does everything. I just need a creative way to kill off the other 6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexaduro Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It's called an "AI" fortress I believe. They have some stuff about it on the challenges page of the wiki. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Retech Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 That's different. The AI fortress is where one dwarf does all the lever pulling and controls. Master of your domain?

Seraphi Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have a U.R.I.S.T Artificial intelligence fort tucked away somewhere in my files. It's actually more efficient than normal, provided you use notes to keep track of all the levers... Which I did at first, but then everything drowned in magma because I got the floodgate levers mixed up. Yeaaaaahhh... Nex, that's the one with the 85 sword skill dwarf and the artifact adamantine armour, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
