Bad Decision Viking is a great name. EDIT: Anyone else not able to generate a world with the new version? It keeps crashing everytime I try to make one. It'll create the world just fine, but when it tries to offload units it crashes. Once again, the only thing in the error log is; quote:go baby! I dunno what to do. I just wanna play the new version already gently caress. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Jul 14, 2014 |

quick question -- if I export a map from Legends, where can I find it? I've been poking around the program files for DF, but I can't find anything...

Internet Kraken posted:This appeared in my error log. I haven't the faintest idea what it could possibly mean. Heh, when I'm debugging my own code, I'll often write bizarre poo poo like that into an error log for my own benefit to track how a particular variable is changing and when it's changing, if I can't use an IDE for whatever reason -- although I try to put #ifdef DEBUG and #endif blocks into the code so that it doesn't accidentally make it into the release. There's probably a better way of doing it, but maybe Toady debugs the same way I do.

Outpost liasons bringing news of the outside world is a tiny new thing that totally rocks. My third caravan brought word that our entire civilization was being crushed by a goblin horde led by Zolak Stakestolen, a dwarven traitor. Suddenly my fort has purpose. We're all that's left, the last stronghold of all dwarfkind. The world living on after the fort dies sounds like a little thing as well but it totally changes the game for me. I love the idea of being able to add my own variables to the simulation and watching what happens. My next fort is going to do nothing by pump out legendary soldiers and masterwork armor, rinse and repeat. I want to see how a few hundred nearly immortal heroes affects my civilization.

I started a demigod dwarven adventurer. I walked out of my room, managed to find the main fortress rooms where all the stuff and people were, and found that friendly goblins with profession names and unfriendly ones, along with unfriendly and friendly dwarves, were attacking each other. It was chaos; I tried to wade through them to find a good weapon, but gave up because of so many people getting hit and wondering if it was an attack. I did some uneventful stuff with that guy and died. I started a new adventurer in the same place (so, two weeks later) with no folks attacking others to be found, found the dining room, and asked the Baroness (who had climbed up a a tree outside the fortress in terror in the previous game) what was up. She told me that not two weeks ago, the fortress had waited out an insurrection.

90% of my dwarves got drafted to deal with a pair of minotaur thieves that snuck into my hospital and well area. A truly epic slapfight ensues until, a few moments later, every dwarf, and both minos, are unconcious on the floor, covered in puddles of vomit.

Do the combat logs have as much comedy as my imagination? I have no idea, at this point. There's 53 pages and counting of reports on combat, just a bunch of unarmed dwarves punching an unconcious (and toothless-- there's teeth scattered everywhere) minotaur in the head until they get so tired they pass out. I tried assigning mining picks and training axes as weapons, even, but the mino is almost standing on the weapons stockpile, and is close enough to the main stairwell that everyone is just running about in a panic.

PhantomZero posted:No i mean the dwarf fortresses and elven retreats, they are all adjacent to each other. When embarking they are big squares right next to each other. Is it normal for the civilizations to build towns so close together? The biggest problem is that it happens for goblin fortresses as well. You get this giant sprawl fortress with towers and moats and poo poo which is cool, but since goblin forts are non-travel squares you have to inch through it to find your quest objective and then inch back out for twenty map tiles until you can 'T'ravel again.

I took over the biggest town in my world. The leader of the patrol spit on me after I took over so I'm over there trying to bash his skull in with my axe but his dumb masterwork iron helmet is deflecting it. Then his recruit said he's angry at me, I turned around and murdered him in a hit. Then went back to hitting his captain as the other 3 recruits watched in terror. e: Ago Howlroots was the old lord. Can't have people thinking I'll stand for loyalists to The Cinnamon Band. Shadowlz fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Jul 14, 2014 |

A truly epic slapfight ensues until, a few moments later, every dwarf, and both minos, are unconcious on the floor, covered in puddles of vomit. Day 11 of the Slapfight. One of the minotaur took a lucky shot and died, but the other is disrupting my entire fortress. He's passed out in my meeting hall, a few steps from my main stairwell. Teeth are scattered everywhere, and checking the Wounds screen reveals that the minotaur is one giant bruise, completely toothless, and with a broken neck. It is completely harmless, capable only of vomitting in its coma. Sadly none of my dwarves seem to realise this. They are taking shifts to slap more bruises onto the mino's skull, while quickly begining to starve and dehydrade because nobody can stop panicing long enough to eat and, I dunno, grab a weapon. Meanwhile, in the confusion, a child that ran outside got shanked by a surprise orc. He bolted off the edge of the map, leaving a trail of blood. He is now listed as Missing.

Thats a great mental image -- a toothless, bruised and bloodied minotaur lays dying in a pool of his own vomit, but all the dwarves can do is run about hide, and occasionally bat at the minotaur's mangled body between bouts of terror. It is terrifying.

I haven't played this game since right after the first 3d update years ago. A few observations. 1: Megabeasts are far more common than they used to be. Or maybe I just got lucky before, but half a dozen fortresses have fallen before the first caravan because of megabeasts. 2: The military menu is dense as gently caress. 3: Atom smashers don't work on megabeasts. 4. Cave-ins are loving

A wereass showed up and messed up one of military dwarves pretty bad before going down. The wounded guy got sent to the hospital and the chief medical dwarf arrived to diagnose him just in time for the next full moon so he got torn to shreds. I thought I had him isolated but apparently he got out after turning back to a dwarf and the next full moon he transformed right at my main entrance and killed a dozen dwarves before a mace soldier got a lucky shot on his head. Even though most of my soldiers had been training for the past year and a half most of them were too scared to do anything. People are too busy freaking out over the pile of corpses to bury any of them. Some of the children of the deceased started fighting so I tried to get some justice going but I just keep getting "Captain of the guard cancels Beat Criminal: Experiencing emotional shock" over and over. e: he got over the shock and beat a tantrum-throwing dwarf to death but now he's horrified by the corpse he just created dead horse fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Jul 14, 2014 |

Oh poo poo, werewolves can do that... Um. How do I know if a full moon is coming? I might have to isolate some people. *EDIT* Actually it's been a couple seasons since the werechinchilla came, I'm probably fine. He outright killed the first five dwarves he got in contact with but then the next one punched his teeth out and strangled him to death while everyone else kicked him to death.

Verviticus posted:can you sim n years after retiring a fort? I assume you no longer have to truly abandon the site? I don't think there's any convenient way of passing a lot of time, but from my understanding all the stuff you make and dwarves you train persist when you leave a fort to it's own devices. So dwarves and the stuff they're wearing should naturally filter throughout the realm. I don't know if stuff you ship out on caravans actually gets put to good use, but a fort that just exports tons of awesome weapons and armor could make adventuring in that world much easier. I don't really know any specifics about how it all technically works, but the potential excites me. If anyone does have specifics i'd love to know.

I remember playing in a previous version, post fortress, where I came across a human town piled high with dwarf mugs and other assorted worthless poo poo, so it understands taht stuff gets shipped out. invasions right now are instant-win unless an adventure intevenes, afaik. what might make a difference is getting yourself a dude with some adamantine loadout and going to town on the enemies of your civ. hell, chewing through sieges to reduce the number of invaders probably would help even the odds, but i dont know what determines when your civ would decide to counter attack.

Are there any issues with any of the tilesets (esp Phoebus, Ironhand) and the new release? I assumed no tilesets were working right, but the OP doesn't mention any issues, so just checking.  DFhack, therapist I can marginally live without for a bit, tileset not so much.
