Tunicate posted:I keep getting 'something has collapsed on the surface' messages, with the announcement coming a few z-level above my mining. New trees are fantastic, just sitting on massive stockpiles of lumber from a few trees is a great feeling. It has been a little weird to see certain dwarves flee straight up trees whenever they see a coati, but it gave me the idea to make safety treehouses with lockable doors if they get caught out in the wild. I can't wait to try out adventure mode but I figure that I'll try out a flatland fortress first to see if I can survive climbing goblin hordes. Also I love that cats are Legendary climbers

I made an adventurer, was asked to kill a vampire, and insisted the vampire was fantastic to the unimpressed lord. I then stood in the middle of town and screamed requests for the vampire's whereabouts while people confusedly lobbed information at me. Then they all became frightened because I was holding a weapon. After that I went into the wilds and was attacked and torn apart by bogeymen. Highlights include one of them kicking me in the left small toe so hard that it exploded into gore.

These bugs and quirks are hilarious. I love new releases. Toady will fix it up, but for now it's an adventure as a pure player and observer.

I sautered into the local tavern and begun interrorgating the locals on things to kill. None of them would join me, but went ahead and told me about a band of kobolds they didnt like a while off in the Desert of Boring, but told me a local dwarf named Zas knew more. I found Zas heading outside while talking with an axeman about the weather, but he agreed to join me and also gave me better directions to the kobold camp. I showed up to the camp and the kobolds didnt really care that much, and in fact, didnt have much to say at all. I went ahead and chopped ones head off, which didnt really raise much commotion amongst the others, aside from throwing blue !'s above them which... meant something. I went ahead and killed the rest of them, and Zas told me about a nearby bandit encampment. Those guys were similarly benign; I stabbed one repeatedly in the gut until he collapsed cursing me, and none of his companions moved to save him either, although they did spit at me. I found the cheftian and told him I was claiming the site and that he could come chill as my underling, which he replied would be resisted with all his force. He was all talk tho and I decided to stab his face too, which roused a nearby bowman to aid him. Both of them went down, and a nearby bandit wrestler agreed to be my hearthman or what have you. Satisfied, I left, slaughtered another camp while demanding they pay homage to my own. There was only one guy and he demanded my site pay homage to his. I cut his hands off and he bled to death while crying that he was yielding. Zas showed up and commented about being surrounded by death, and said that we should "avoid hurting anybody". I decided to head back to the tavern when my game crashed again.

Of course, for the DF-LPers among us, we can't forget some of the additions to the descriptions... Only just started, and no crazy dreams yet (creating a masterwork x3, family x2, great work of art x2) , but since characters can and will have "Dreams of world conquest", among others, this is actually pretty cool.

I think I need to turn down my worldgen a bit; I don't feel like adventuring in all of these Age of Death worlds. e: I discovered a cool little story in the legends: a human woman named Lene Alothaimaza ("Tonguesnake") was born in 464, who became a trader. She wandered for about 45 years beginning at age 52, then went on to confront a forgotten beast*, was defeated but unharmed, then came back two years later to slay it for good. The next year, she died of old age at 100. That's one badass old lady. * a scaly, firebreathing leech of 75 kills Zomborgon fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jul 8, 2014 |

Bad Munki posted:New version is out, definitely check it out: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ THAT FUCKIN COOKIE CAN CLICK ITSELF, I GOT DWARFS TO DROWN I was all set to see you post a link to the new version that just said "No release yet, just a boring devlog", now I'm all disappointed. I thought you were better than this. Anyway, I've got my seasonal autosaves enabled, Move view up/down (z) keys swapped, "Leave screen" set to the old fashioned Space instead of Escape, and hideous Linear filtering turned off (Nearest Neighbor wins hands down, goddammit). I'm poking around in the site finder now, if I end up with any good stories I'll be sure to share.

The hostility / emotion thing is a bit wonky but it does make quirky stories. I got ambushed by two dudes who were going on about how some other dude they were seperated from random fellows. They refused to stop fighting me so I killed the both, then came across a camp. I told the camp leader about the fact I killed some dudes and he's calling me a murderer but I still don't really know if they were related in any way since those two were immediately hostile while this guy is just spitting at me.

Oh actually I guess they were related since now when I ask him about his troubles he mentioned that I killed Mel. He should probably be trying to kill me or something here but maybe he sort of realizes I could probably take him?

There really doesn't seem to be a way to actually provoke a dude into fighting you. Although after he killed me after I tried to smash his face he was nice enough to brag about murdering me.

A friend got this in worldgenquote:Lomoth Greencobalt the Terrible Menace of Curses was an ape brute. He was the only one of his kind. A towering scaly ape twisted into humanoid form. It murmurs horrible curses. Its eyes glow scarlet. Its buff scales are round and set far apart. Beware its noxious secretions! Lomoth was associated with murder and light. quote:Zothrol aided Lomoth in becoming a permanent part of the living world that more might be murdered. The ritual took place in Spiderhelped using the Phantom of Plagues. Deities grant demons immortal magic powers now. That's unbelievably hardcore e: He named his general NOURISHEDPROFANE. Goblin civs are seriously living death metal albums.

You might need a sleep, because just looking at the capitalised bits with the keyword "spinal" tells me what's happening here. I'd imagine there are quite a few muscle groups as parents of the spinal column, so... Well, people collapse a bit when their spinal column is geborken.
