I've already got the putsch staging ground on lockdown, boss. I've infiltrated it and I am the barkeep. I'm currently trying to get some of our boys in as entertainers and priests on the intelligence side, but we've been prioritizing the guard. If not that, hunting or mining. Weapons.

How different is dwarf fortress to rimworld?

It's a lot more complex/deep, as in the interactions/detail things can get into. Rimworld is the only game that kinda even comes close to DF but it still isn't really in the same league.

Requesting again to see my dwarf's progress with butchering!

Space Jam, I'm impressed that we managed to get over our mutual ideological differences and create a baby. There's nothing like growing the ethnostate while also massively increasing your personal carbon footprint.

I think we could agree that fully automated nurseries are the way of the future.

I mean, you can't control the dwarves individually quite like you can in Rimworld and the graphics are obviously ASCII with tilesets but it's very very similar otherwise. DF has deeper systems, obviously, like there are multiple Z-levels and fluid mechanics for water and lava.

There's some stuff to learn, mostly the GUI and keystroke commands. Nothing you can't really wrap your head around if you are familiar with Rimworld.

Wow boy is that a lot of reading.

Intimidator was an interesting skill, so I looked it up and found this gem on the wiki:

quote:

A dwarf's intimidation skill level is directly proportional to the length of that dwarf's beard. Beard length has long been used as a barometer of a dwarf's social status, and dwarven nobility derive their right to rule from the length and thickness of their beards. Successors to the dwarven throne are chosen at birth; the infantile sovereign is identified by having a beard longer than its own body. This quality also exempts nobles from working, as catching a beard in a an active gear assembly can snap the neck of the strongest dwarf. Among the upper class, beard decorations have become increasingly fashionable. Intricate braids, complex plaiting patterns, decorative knots, and even subtle perfumes are considered the height of dwarven chic. Weaving multi-colored silk ribbons into beards is common among the middle class, while peasants tend to stick with more utilitarian looks that can be quickly prepared, easily cleaned, and tucked into a belt.

Upon reaching legendary status, a dwarf's beard is granted the right to extend beneath that dwarf's knees; non-legendary dwarves attempting to short-circuit normal social rules of advancement are punished with shearing, imprisonment, and even the ministrations of a Hammerer in the most serious of cases.

Dwarves that act as brokers often cultivate facial hair that completely covers their heads, leaving only a nose and the suggestion of two beady dwarven eyes within a labyrinthine mass of hair. This is sometimes called an "eyebrow beard" by humans, as the beard appears to start above the eyes. It has a definite effect on human traders, and elves are particularly frightened by it, being a species completely devoid of facial hair. The beard has the effect of forcing a negotiator to focus solely on the dwarf's eyes, as no facial cues can be divined from within the beard. This unnerves the negotiator so thoroughly that practically any deal the dwarf names will be agreed upon. There are stories of dwarves convincing elven traders to swear off cannibalism, although these are generally considered to be hairy tales.

A broker's intimidation skill, therefore, is extremely important, and mastering said skill should be encouraged, even to the detriment of other skills. An intimidating dwarf garners respect from his peers, gets better deals at the trading table, and has a better chance of attracting the kind of mate a Fish Dissector can only dream about.

Just checked again and yeah your spear is named "Baktuscubor, The Shattered Worker"



You are all welcome for me killing off two forgotten beasts.


That spear is definitely going into the Museum of Resistance if my Dwarf is ever martyred.

The militia is definitely split on whether that spear's name is meant to avenge the worker or celebrate their shattering.

He listens to peoples complaints, speaks with diplomats, etc. And no I think they fixed that. Cats WILL however lick off whatever they get covered in so theoretically if i doused a cat in beer it would lick that off and get drunk.
