Or, you know, a tile or two west and build a new doom fortress.

I might take apart one of the houses and sail back with as much as I can fit on my raft, then just burn the other buildings as I leave. (Since yeah, I've already built my house and smoking hut, so there's no dire need of wood - but I have been thinking about new building projects for around my homestead, so more wood for spring would always be nice...)

He lasted a long time until he got clubbed over the head by a Njerpez dude. The difficult starts can be sort of interesting but there's a bit of routine to how to handle them and then you either die or are in the same old game sometimes without much material gain. For my gameplay time I usually do one of the easiest starts to allay my axe insecurity/anxiety so I feel like I can do anything I ever want in the first summer.

I got bored with my old character with his stable well located homestead and basically endless supplies of food and horde of dogs. So I rolled a purely combat orianted character with no skill in boring stuff like agriculture, building or any of that rot. Spawned as close to Njerpez land as I could. Trekked over there around the endless lakes. Got spotted as I was scouting the village. Thankfully it was only a small child and a lady. I murdered both. The rest of the village came running up but I booked it into the forest and got away. I tried to return a few times but the entire village seemed to be protecting that area. So I of course approaced from the other direction. The village was empty. I stole all their food, a fine scimitar, a shield and some nice furs for the foreign traders. I am going to try this approach with the other villages in Njerpland. e: One of them spotted me skulking around. Murdered him, and carried his mangled corpse to my hideout in the woods. Building up food stores for the winter. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Oh man, I hit a squirrel out of a tree with a rock, it landed at my feet alive, I clubbed it, and yet it still survived and tried crawling away grievously wounded. It didn't make it very far before I hit it with the club again, yet it STILL survived and kept going with multiple fractures and bruises. I hit it a third time and it finally died. Poor squirrel  TorakFade posted:Traditionally, I always make some fur armor from my first furs, especially elk or bear. But if it's harsh you might get rough armor which isn't ideal... Also it won't be worth that much in trading, so use it however you see fit. You're going to get plenty more furs hopefully so don't sweat it too much That's a pretty good point - I've already made it much farther than I did when I last played this game, so I should probably make myself some armor so I don't just get murdered and lose everything. I saw some guy walking around in the woods a few km from my house and I wasn't sure if he was hostile or not, so I just stayed away. I had already been ambushed by robbers at one point but I managed to run away. I just had an elk fall into one of my pits and now I have a decent quality hide for the first time, and I've finally got my smokehouse going with 200 lbs of meat. So I guess now is the time to start bundling myself up.

The search party caught me. I ran into to woods and put my back against a wall of trees and then just hacked and slashed at all the bloodthirsty villagers and the one warrior I hadn't managed to murder in my previous raids. I was drat near exhausted after slaughtering an entire village but otherwise mostly fine. I have managed to shrink their area by taking out this one village. I will use it as my base of operations for further raids. Bringing the Njerpez a taste of their own medicine is fun.

The only thing preventing me from doing the same thing after I took out a Njerpez village of my own earlier is that the weather has turned for the worse.  (As soon as spring comes around though, I'll be joining you on the hunt for Njerpez war camps and villages!  )

It would be cool to have a game like this but set in North America. Replace the Finnish tribes with indigenous Americans, set during the pre-colonial woodland period or something. You could have mound-building tribes making and hunting with stone tools and whatnot. I wonder if you can mod the terrain.

That pre-colonial Americas idea sounds pretty good - it'd be quite interesting to play in that period, I think. Also, in my game things are getting a little concerning. After returning from massacring that Njerpez village (they made the first move, I swear!) it seems that the region on my side of the river (other side being a small no man's land, then Njerpez territory slightly further east) is absolutely teeming with Njerpez warriors. I uh, I think I MAY have offended them, by killing that Njerpez guy in fancy leather armour with a bastard sword (I assume he would've been fairly high-up in their society) and then followed by wiping out that entire village...  I've been slinking around the woods at dusk and managed to kill the ones in my immediate vicinity though, so hopefully none of the others won't come over to investigate/climb the hills and mountains surrounding the little forested valley I live in, and spot my homestead.

It wasn't me.  No really, I didn't do that. Brand new character with the free animal start, and I didn't even get to control him before being instantly zoomed in on this tile. Not sure if this is supposed to happen, it definitely never has before, but that corpse was carrying free stuff so I'm not questioning this too hard.

If you read the description for that start, IIRC you come back from fetching a stray animal to find your parent's homestead burned to the ground, your dad dead, and your mom presumably hauled off by Njerpez to be enslaved/eaten.

With all this talk of slaughtering entire villages, I guess the Njerpez aren't really that hard to kill? Do y'all wait until you're fully decked out in armor and with decent weapons before attacking people? I keep spotting some Njerpez wandering around in the woods a few km from my camp and I don't know if I should attack them or not. I dunno how many there are. I've also ran into a pair of robbers twice now in the same area, but I've ran away each time. I kinda want to kill them and take their stuff, but I also don't wanna risk it with the whole permadeath thing, since I've made it farther than I ever have before. I have almost a full set of axes by now, I'm at a good location, I'm devouring tasty seal steaks while smoking hundreds of pounds of elk and stag meat and I'm nice and comfy, even though all I have is a tiny smokehouse with a pile of junk in front of it. I have a fine shortbow, a handful of broadhead arrows, and a spear, and decent skills for them, and I'm about to make some leather armor, so maybe it would be worth it.FreudianSlippers posted:Should the Njerpez equivalent in that version be European colonists? Or how about a Mesoamerican version where the Njerpez are Aztec warriors running around looking for slaves to capture and sacrifice. That would be pretty badass.

Engaging Njerpez raiders, never mind a band of robbers, carries some risk if you're not armored up. They generally have okay armor, presumably okay skills, and often even have ranged weapons. I'll still happily attempt to harvest them for clothing and trade goods, but it requires a moment more thought than finding a fellow vagabond and immediately disposing of him.

After over 30hrs I've finally found animals being traded at villages, when I decided to make a trek to Reemi lands, south west of my homestead! (I did have to go to a village named "Deathgrove" in order to get the cow though. I didn't stick around there for long, naturally, as I was quite dubious of the place, due to its name!  Could've been a secret/undercover Njerpez village, where the inhabitants devour passers-by, for all I knew...)  I named the doggo Ystävä ("Friend") and the cow Juhta ("Beast of Burden"). I've gotten them home safely, since taking the screenshot. I just hope no predators come after Juhta while I'm away hunting, since I wasn't able to finish digging pits/a trench along one of my fences, due to the ground becoming too frozen. (Speaking of which, is there any way to get around that? Like, if I burn a few branches on the ground, will that thaw it enough to be able to dig a pit?)

haha yeah, it may be going a touch overboard, with that! But well, after hearing stories from this thread about Lynx attacks on livestock (plus robbers/Njerpez paying a visit to nick stuff) I couldn't resist, since at least this way I'll know li'l Juhta will be safe, hah Oh also, forgot about this, but on my trip I also got a fine net (my first and only net!) in addition to a masterwork hand axe (from traders I stumbled upon on the way home) and a fine carving axe. (First carving axe I've found too, and you better believe I've been looking for one...) Such a good haul for me, as I was really wanting all of these things! More nets would've been good, sure, but I wasn't actually expecting to find any in that town, so that one alone I found is quite the boon. (And I'm assuming the 'fine' quality will make it easier to catch fish/harder for fish to get out from somehow, or something similar?)

Taking out entire villages is no easy task. As I learned when assaulting a Njerpez village when I got caught sneaking around. I dived into one of those long narrow huts so I could take them on one by one. It worked very well for a while and before long I had a heap of the dead and dying at my feet. Things got a bit complicated when the flood of poorly equipped craftsmen and housewives ran dry and a broadsword wielding warrior stepped in. He got in a few very good blows before I could knock him down and cut his throat open. But the fatigue and injuries made me really clumsy letting the maiden who picked up the warriors sword avenge his death pretty easily. Next time I'll probably try it with ranged weapons on skis on a dark winter night.

Sounded like a real battle you had there, though! I'm definitely glad I didn't run into anyone with a big-arse sword during my own raid, the other day. (Although there were a few scimitar-wielding Njerpez guys) Oh, and you've also just reminded me of the existence of skis - I might need to do the same thing later in winter when the snow builds up, assuming you can ski across frozen rivers without falling over!

I was watching some old LPs of this game that were pretty funny. On this one the guy was playing a cannibal murderer for a while, and was hiring guys to work for him by giving them human flesh (it's "pork" you see  ). At one point he engaged a lone Njerpez with an entire party of men at his side, but was instantly shot through the eye by an arrow right at the start of the engagement, before anyone could even do anything. His men killed the Njerpez, but he bled to death anyway.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N01KZyomCGQ&t=642s Pretty funny, but that's kinda giving me second thoughts about trying to hunt down the bandits in my neighborhood.

Good lord, I got a real surprise when I woke up after hearing my dog barking in the yard, and went outside to see this hulking bear! I ducked back inside, brought the dog out, chucked a javelin into the bear's head, (which failed to kill it) then we both went to town on it, before it could tear us apart. It was my doggo's first real fight, and he got through it quite well, inflicting a serious wound and in the bear's leg, as well as a couple of minor bites in its hip. Unfortunately he received a minor/shallow scratch though, but that's nothing a couple of fresh bear meat cuts can't fix! Managed to get a good quality hide too, after all that.  So, has anyone else actually had one wander so close to their house, before? I suspect it may've come here because the only rapids in the area are by my house, and it may've been trying to get a drink, or a fish or something. I'm certainly glad I was at home at the time, though! I'd hate to have my cow or dog be alone with it, that's for sure... (Needless to say, after scare I have built the fence component of two trap fences, covering the only two land approaches, to my house...I'll need to wait until spring before I can dig the pits though)

Oh, I used a masterwork spear - and I was also able to get a couple of solid hits to its head/face straight-up, without trying to stab at its torso, or anything.

Nothing fancy; just provides two squares of indoorsy goodness. (Not that the cow AI will probably care much, but still!)

Alright gang, despite my recent CDDA obsession, I realized I had the URW mod I made sitting around on my hard drive awaiting alpha testing. A little while ago, I spent a week or two combining and fleshing out the best parts of Buoddia's Ironworking and TheFinn's wilderness survival mods, as well as stripping and consolidating all the extra-spergy stuff into a single unified system. Additionally I added a ton of crafting recipes for custom armor, specific armor pieces, custom weapons and bows. Overall, this mod makes the early game a bit quicker and easier (you can make a halfway decent bow and fiber cords right off the bat now) while fleshing out the mid/late game a lot (you can craft cool unique weapons + armor that require stuff you can only get from foreign traders/rare animals). All the crafting requires carpentry so pump that stat in character creation now. There's still a lot more I want to add in terms of special weapons, but for now I'm happy to call it done. To install, dump all the files into your URW directory, overwrite, you know the drill. Compatible with vanilla, not compatible with other gameplay altering mods. Back up your drat game and don't blame me if something breaks, this is an alpha. https://www.dropbox.com/s/64b19zswdcdo0o4/Swayzemod%201.0.zip?dl=0 Oh and PM me if you hit an issue/wonkiness, I might fix your game for you if you send me your directory.
