Is there any chance you could re-upload the modded version of DF on a site that wasn't seized by the FBI?

Edit: Reverence and Solid Poopsnake, we're on Team 3. Seeing as we're an antlady, a troll, and a kobold, I vote we name our team the Cave Pals (for lack of a better idea).

edit: found it

Going naked in the first round and two-handing a steel halberd. As an elf my guy is likely to run in front due to his high speed. This will end well.

Yeah, I felt stressed for points making my Serpentman and looking at how less points the bigger dudes get I see why so many of them walk into the arena basically naked except for their weapon.

Happy with the name? If you want to discuss strategy, I'm reachable by message, email, skype, irc or most anything you'd prefer.

Silverminnow, Ablative. My fellow team 16-ers. We need to talk. Specifically, we need to talk about what we're gonna name our team, because that is a thing that we can do. I suggest Team Sexting, because I am mentally twelve.

Oh, also I guess we should coordinate builds a little bit. Want to do that over emails?

I'm entirely ambivalent toward the name. Coordination is probably a good idea, shoot me one ablativesa@gmail.com

My one bit of tactical advice for Meat and Two Veg is that maybe Onan should consider a blunt weapon so we have damage-type diversity (slash-bash-stab)

Actually, if you survive to make it to the playoffs, you earn 20% interest on any unspent points.

Surviving long enough to make the playoffs without spending all of your points is the challenging part.

:siren: I have re-uploaded the modified version of the arena :siren:

It was discovered that I hadn't correctly removed damselflies from the arena the first time, so character macros were choking when trying to create elf characters in the arena. This has been fixed now.

Well, I always imagined Onan as a blunt instrument.

And now, another question. For big, blunt objects, does hardness matter, or just weight? Silver seems better than iron for a mace, or am I misunderstanding?

In DF2010 and DF2012, weight trumped everything when it came to blunt weapons. I haven't yet seen anything in DF2014 to indicate that that has changed.

Platinum is generally even more effective than silver, if you can afford it.

Well, there's one experiment result I'm willing to share with everyone. It looks like the rules of this tournament provide a massive nerf to big guys. Big guys rely on knocking down smaller opponents and stomping them into the curb while they're defenseless. With 3 people on each side, unless the big guys can kill the guy on the ground really fast, there will always be someone capable of striking back with something choppy/stabby/smashy.

However, wrestling can be surprisingly useful against guys who dodge well, if there's at least one other teammate attacking the same enemy. So, a buffman might work.

Yes. In fact, each team gets three matches before the playoff starts, and everyone is fully resurrected and healed before each match. It's the magic of Dwarfhalla.
