Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

And if you kill everyone, random encounters still happen, but nobody comes.
That reminds me of when I was playing an adventurer back in 40d. The game actually tracked creature populations by region (Maybe still does?), so you could exterminate all the wolves in a forest. Once you had killed 90% of them most encounters the game forced on you had no creatures. I believe one guy on the bay 12 forums managed to kill every living creature in a pocket size world once.

Toady One I finished up the various non-dwarf item code. The "foreign" weapon stockpiles are a bit odd now (shrinking as you add resident races), and mercenaries will mostly ignore you if you try to fiddle with their equipment in ways that would make them drop their owned equipment, but hopefully it works well enough for a first release pass. Diplomats will hang out in taverns for a bit after their official duties, and bandits will also occasionally arrive to relax as well.

Diplomats and bandits are always welcome in my fort tavern, The Tap Trap of Blades.

Nah, it's a new trap for seigers. The wall of the tavern will slide open and all the attacking goblins will suddenly have to deal with some VERY pissed off drunks.

Alternately: the walls of the tavern slide open and the attacking goblins are enticed by all the booze and get slobbering drunk. At which point they're easy pickings.

This is similar to what I was thinking as soon as I saw it. Make sure it's a dwarf—or can other races get martial trances in adventure mode/as NPCs in fortress mode? Imagine having Sankis and the burning axe just outside your fort. :allears:

Or even, dare I say it, a nondescript dwarf with a backpack. :unsmigghh:

The height level and lethality of your traps really mattered for your mass dumping area. I always wanted them to survive the fall so they could do some decorative vomiting or maybe get crushed by their plummeting friends, having them fall from too high up would just gib them instantly which i thought banal and crass. I did not want the first weapon trap to kill them either, after all you don't get that nice streaking effect if they don't walk around after losing a limb. You had to fine tune it.

I'm afraid so.
Well said. This is why the green glass serrated disc reigns supreme; multiple hits per attack, totally incapable of penetrating armor, yet guaranteed to sever an unarmored extremity if hit, it is practically guaranteed that interlopers will lose something vitally important to their combat ability, but also has a high chance that whatever they lose won't be instantly lethal, allowing them those extra few exsanguinating seconds to turn your fortress entrance into Jackson Pollock.

You left out the part where so long as you are using magma, green glass serrated discs are free, so you can fill ever so much more of your fortress with them, or even just the great outdoors if you dislike wandering animals.

Various tweaks with grumpy ignored residents, music descriptions vs. harmony, spectator text, and written content. With an impressive enough performance/reputation, your adventurer can petition to be an official performer for a town (the same as the dwarf mode occupation), which doesn't mean much but gives you permission to sleep in villages and a merchant discount in market locations (also extended to hearthpeople). Along with the tavern discounts for various reputations, it'll have to do for now in the absence of a meaningful economy. Four more things to go.

Oh man that reminds me about that nordic language project somebody had going once. The scandic languages were all done first, but for once they'd taken the time to compile a Finnish dictionary as well.
