I blame the organising committee. Should have spent less time on choosing the seat colours and more on making sure the band actually knew the national anthems.

I'm pretty sure the Dwarven national anthem is just "WELCOME TO loving BOATMURDERED!" followed by smashing the piano with an axe.

:siren:How to guide, and first fight:siren:

This first part is for commissioners:


Save all your macros in the data\init\macros folder.


Delete the gamelog.txt from the main DF folder and then launch DF.



You know how to Look (K) and Create (C) so I skipped that.


:siren::siren::siren:And now the fight can begin. :siren::siren::siren:


Team Laser Explosion has the homefield advantage. They are on the left and include:
Anthony is a male Tigerman fighter managed by dasmause. He is decked in iron armor but unarmed.
Mogwai is a female Gremlin fighter managed by Dark Off. A tiny naked fighter with an iron shield and a copper dagger? Got the materials backwards there...
Molegrim is a male Molemarian fighter managed by Maugrim. He carries a spear and wears nothing but a helm.
Turquoise Tonic is a male Human fighter managed by Hihohe. A silver mace and a bit or armor are all he has.

Team A Tarantino Film is lined up opposite, being boo'd by the fans.
Uma Thurman is a female Human fighter managed by AnoHito. She legitimately is her character from Kill Bill.
Urist McLee is a male Dwarf fighter managed by Fuubi. Urist has copper armor covering his body, and his fists look fearsome.
Snarls Barkley is a female Werewolf fighter managed by Bene Elim. A pike and a shield, but nothing else adorn this fighter.
Solomon Rabinowitz is a male Serpent Man fighter managed by Added Space. A steel body and huge fangs are all this fighter needs.




Snarls Barkley takes the lead, tongue flapping wildly.


Snarles Barkley's blow is dodged, and then his leg is fractured by Turquoise Tonic's return strike!


Uma Thurman gives Anthony a tiny scratch, he returns the favor by knocking her to the floor stunned!


Turquoise Tonic proves how deadly he can be by smashing Snarles Barkley's hand to pieces. At the same time Molegrim sends his spear into his hand, tearing ligaments and bruising bone. Down goes the werewolf!


A flurry of blows rain down on the stunned Uma Thurman. Anthony is quickly distracted by the dwarf Urist McLee who punches so hard that the tigerman is left bruised!


Uma Thurman gets tag-teamed by Anthony and Mogwai up top. Mogwai stabs Uma in the head while Anthony holds her and throws her sometimes. Down below Molegrim and Turquoise Tonic smash the unconscious Snarles Barkley until he dies.



Let me explain how we got here:
Mogwai stabs Uma Thurman in the head, Anthony throws the hell out of her and she falls unconscious when she smashes into the floor. Luckily she doesn't have far to fall anymore.
Urist McLee punches Mogwai from behind, shattering the tiny gremlins neck. Mogwai falls to the floor, dropping his weapons in obvious pain.
Solomon Rainowitz finally manages to bite something not armored and Molegrim doesn't seem to notice the venom at first. His return strike fractures the snakemans arm. Then the venom kicks in and Molegrim goes down to join his teammate Mogwai on the floor.


We all know what happens to unconscious fighters. Anthony bends her hips and legs and arms into different directions, but Turqoise Tonic gets the kill by splattering her skull. Urist McLee pops and locks Mogwai's arms and knees. The gremlin is helpless on the ground.
Turquoise Tonic_LAS: Those injuries... Begone fear! Of course Tonic has zero injuries so :shrug:



Urist McLee is forced away from Mogwai by Turquoise Tonic. Urist realizes that he and his snakeman buddy, Stupidface Longname, are the only two still alive on their team.


Urist McLee shrugs, then charges forward with a thousand yard stare. Solomon Rainowitz is continuously biting and shaking the poor moleman Molegrim.


Team A Tarantino Film has seen better days.


Urist McLee dodges and punches a hundred times in a minute. His opponents have no idea how to handle this. One good blow from him can change this entire fight.


Keep on shaking, Soloman Rainowitz.


Anthony, the huge tigerman, realizes that if the dwarf is on the ground he'd be easier to squash. So he charges and sends the smaller fighter tumbling... Oh snap, he is no longer in a trance!


Turquoise Tonic takes advantage and kicks the downed dwarf. Teeth fly across the arena!


Urist McLee falls to the floor, exhausted. He just wished he had some help. He did very well against 2.5 opponents while Shaky McShaker was so focused on Molegrim.


Downed fighters don't live long. Well, unless you are Mogwai or Molegrim that is. Turquoise Tonic gets another skull-shattering kill.



Turquoise Tonic sneaks up behind Solomon mid-shake and smashes him on the head repeatedly while yelling "Let go let go let go!" The snakeman finally does.


Mogwai bites the prone snakeman's head while Turquoise Tonic smashes his head. I am unsure logistics of it, but it seems like Mogwai's mouth was pretty drat close to the mace. Finally the helmet collapses, Turquoise Tonic gets another kill.

Kill Count:
Turquoise Tonic: 3
Molegrim: 1


Winners: Team Laser Explosion



Your winners, ladies and gentlemen.

Pikes are pretty deadly, I think you were unfortunate in being the fastest on your team and therefore the first to be targeted.

Nice to kick off the tournament with a win, especially as my team elected not to coordinate at all!

The neck is somehow unconnected to the spine in the current version of DF. It seems to be just a lump of flesh.

:siren:Randomly Chosen Fight Number 2:siren:

Plump Helmets consist of:
Dory is a female Minotaur fighter managed by my dad. He carries a copper spear and wears a smattering of bronze armor.
James LargeSausage is a male Human fighter managed by Afriscipio. He holds an iron halberd and wears a bit of armor.
Josie the Bludgeonatrix is a female Elf fighter managed by Ramc. Tits flap wildly in the breeze, but the copper mace and shield she carries look deadly.
Return of Panty Thief is a male Yeti fighter managed by Mr. Vile. The yeti does his best Bronze Golem impression. It's a really good impression.

Worker Cooperative has:
Combat Liberalism is a female Gremlin fighter managed by Jack the Lad. A copper dagger, with skill aplenty are in her tiny hands.
Unthrottle the Axolotl is a female Kobold fighter managed by Zwingley. A copper scrouge and loads of skill are all this fighter needs apparently.
Jameson the Unruly is a male Human fighter managed by alvie. He carries a huge iron sword and is bedecked in copper armor.
Albrik the Insignificant is a male Kobold fighter managed by Tiler Kiwi. An iron axe, some leather pants, and skill hope to carry him through the fight.


So we've basically got "big guys vs little guys" in this fight. And we still haven't seen a single bowbold or bowyeti.

Also: Seriously. You guys and your loving names. Expect them shortened and/or butchered because there's no way I'm typing that poo poo 30 times each.





The fighters charge. Panty Thief is really slow, but that's not uncommon since Bronze Golems only have 4 movement points.


They clash, and if your name begins with J you got hit. Josie smashes Jameson with her mace, tearing Jameson's nervous tissue in the spine! Jameson drops everything and falls the gently caress over. Albrik steps up for his teammate and spills Josie's guts across the floor. James (not to be confused with Jameson) takes a dagger to the neck courtesy of Combat Liberalism.



James swings his halbard and connects with Combat Liberalism's left arm and blood shoots across the floor. Another stab lances into the small gremlin's chest and tears through ribs.



The other gladiators haven't been sitting still. Unthrottle lashes Dory in the lower body, tearing the minotaurs stomach muscles. Dory's return strike tears his left arm pretty terribly. Albrik hews Josie's leg, and she falls to the floor.
Josie the Bludgeonatrix_HELM: I've been injured badly. There is no hope!


Josie is down but not out. She smashes Albrik in the chest with her mace, bruising a lung and causing the small Kobold to have trouble breathing. Josie has lost a LOT of blood, and she looks a bit pale. Combat Liberalism stabs James in the leg and he passes out from the pain. Dory avenges her teammate by thrusting her spear into the head of the small gremlin which ends his life. Obviously.


Albrik and Josie's battle comes to an abrupt end when Josie bleeds to death. Albrik took a savage beating in the process, but he outlasted his opponent. Panty Thief pounds on the prone Jameson for a bit before being distracted by Unthrottle. Unthrottle's copper weapon has no chance of penetrating the huge yeti's bronze armor. Dory leans in from the side and smashes Unthrottle's hand into paste. The kobold drops his scourge. Albrik darts forward to swing at Josie before she expires, but is grabbed from behind by Panty Thief. The huge yeti casually tosses the kobold away from his downed teammate, Albrik lands and is stunned. Dory chases him. Unthrottle had dodged and dodged, but was finally caught by Panty Thief's charge.


In the confusing melee Albrik takes a moment to slam his axe down onto James' neck. His head goes flying. Panty Thief finally corners Unthrottle along the right side of the wall. He grabs the stunned kobold and punches her right in the boobs. Unthrottles entire chest explodes, splattering the wall behind it with gore.



This is a gif
Jameson and Albrik are both injured badly and they team up against the huge Minotaur. Dory dodges their attacks, armor deflects others. Dory stabs her spear into Jameson's leg, then pulls it free and does the same to Albrik. Albrik and Jameson both fall to the floor. Albrik's axe scores a wound on Dory's chest, but then Panty Thief arrives like a freight train.


Panty Thief and Dory go to town on their prone opponents. Punching, grabbing, scratching, and finally Dory with her spear. Jameson's head is punctured by the copper blade. Albrik, in a fit of rage, slams his axe into Dory's mouth. Minotaur teeth fly across the arena while Albrik rolls his tiny form away from the huge gladiators.


It proves futile. Dory catches him while Panty Thief holds him still and thrusts her spear into his brain.



Kills:
Dory: 3
Panty Thief: 1

Albrik: 2 (counting Josie bleeding out to him)



Two gladiators remain alive. Dory took a few blows, but Panty Thief is barely out of breath from the fight.

Jul 20, 2015

So I have a couple of questions: What's "edge" and "stopping power" and what are benefits of high weight equipment? I have guesses, but I wanna confirm
How much do skills dictate fighter's behaviour? Like, if a fighter is unarmed and has no offensive skills, will he fight? Or if a character is unarmed and has striking/wrestling, will he use kicks and/or bites?
Is there any sense having greaves and high boots? They both protect "lower legs", does that protection stack, or are low boots sufficient?

Compared to the 1v1's, these logs contain some really great imagery, once you parse that Grabbing someone's "Lower back teeth" with their "upper arm" is basically a one-armed choke hold from behind.

So that fight basically ended with Panty providing said choke hold, while trying to pull Albrik's leg off with the free hand.... And Dory stabbing away at Albrik's face the whole time. Fun stuff.

General Question: Do our fighters gain skill through the course of a fight? I know everything is reset at the end, but could a really long, drag-out fight leave a fighter significantly more skillful for another opponent? Would a fighter with zero armor skill eventually wear that armor a bit easier as the fight goes on?
