One of the only threads to get locked for being too horrible apparently was closed and deleted because someone modded in genitalia so they could simulate raping people in adventurer mode. :stonk:

If you absolutely must know, google "Obok Meatgod" and don't say we didn't warn you. :sigh:

Towards the end, the author tries a little too hard to shock people, and the results are... disturbing.


And that's all that needs to be said about that. Can't wait until all these bugs are squashed and the new version is playable!

The moment Toady adds in any kind of mechanic where you can have ownership over other sentient creatures the DF mod forums are gonna get real ugly real fast.

You can already domesticate sapient creatures if they have the proper tags though. By default most sapient creatures can't be tamed but some animal men can be. You can't do anything creepy with them though without mods, thankfully. They just sit around talking to people. And sometimes becoming mayor.

A badger fight pit. Make a pit where you throw in prisoners and let the badgers loose on them.

More like "piranha pit". Badgers are the absolute best creatures for that purpose, too. Since they get randomly angry at strangers, they'll eventually brutalize whatever falls in.

You know the minute Toady adds capturing people and healing skills in adventure mode, people will just go to the nearest kobolds camp, capture everyone and spend their time stabbing then healing them endlessly just for skill.

I'd rather have an army of forcefully conscripted kobold minions I can throw at people. Literally and figuratively.

I've always pictured trolls in Dwarf Fortress as being really smart despite their monstrous appearance. This is because they would show up during sieges with weird professions like architect and surgeon. They're ugly ape things but still smart enough to do really advanced jobs.

Architect means they like smashing buildings, Surgeon means they like cutting apart living things.

A ruined fort, tucked away in the furthest, most inaccessible niche in the range. The only way to it is through a Terrifying freshwater swamp.

:getin:

e: Whippedshocks was the bastion and only site of this dwarven civilization. They endured constant attacks from yetis, bronze colossuses, raids from thieving "unknown creatures" and at least five distinct forgotten beasts before they were finally broken in 147 by a giant feathered crab.

But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won.
I just started an adventure as a Human Outsider, so I'm wandering around naked in the snow, unable to eat blueberries because my hands are full of a copper dagger and spear (actually just discovered the "q" command, so that problem is half-solved). I am in the modest hamlet of Fancyblunts, in the Lavender Jungles, and the villagers are living in fear of Ted Shiphail (The Snake of Tundras) the hill titan.

Somehow I don't get tired of the charm of this game.

Also love the new emoticon.

So i finally managed to dig deep enough to find a cavern system thing, channeled all the way down somehow and now have a functioning well. In the meantime i had one moody dwarf die from thirst after me not being able to produce a Yarn Cloth for her to build something and another one went crazy because i haven't got shiny bars + a quarry or something (quarry bush maybe?)

Kinda hard to figure out that poo poo in time..

Tho a baby was born called Merdath Slaughtmerchants, which i'm sure will grow up to be a strapping young lad.

I also managed to ruin a fortress start in the first year to people dying of thirst, loving river froze over as I was trying to make an underground reservoir to save water for the winter. Did some emergency digging into the depths desperate for water and got a well set up.. which apparently didnt work because so much stone fell into the water directly below the well that it filled up the tile :argh: And people for some reason won't just WALK all the way down there anymore, now 5 are dead of dehydration and like 5 more from related tantrums, Kea people swooped in in the meantime and stole every loving single thing that was still left outdoors (including my artifact bone battleaxe that just got made), and both my miners broke their legs from falling, and we still don't have water... welp time to abandon this shithole.

Also managed to get another artifact while this was going on, a gemmed bracelet inscribed with the image of itself and a dwarf I've never heard of.

Fancyblunts was a hamlet

In 415 The Blazes of Ancients founded Fancyblunts

In 415 the human Amsir Treesmoulder became a farmer in Fancyblunts

In 416 the human Citu Seedcleared became a thresher in Fancyblunts

I don't know if it's because of a brewing bug in Fortress mode (I haven't tried it in DF2014 yet), but how can so many people suffer from dwarves dying of thirst? It's not that hard to keep the booze stocks well-supplied :psydwarf:

Some work with climbing today -- I tried to stop idle dwarves from climbing too readily up into trees or down volcanic features, though there are some tricky cases to handle there that might take more time. I made the AI consider ledge tops appropriately, made failed climbers more reluctant to climb for a bit (those didn't splatter anyway), made climbing have a higher path cost (so people wouldn't jump up the walls at each other during combat so readily, for example) and fixed a broken instance of chasing opponents vs. unwalkable spaces. I also made the tops of walls placed under trees appear properly when the trees are removed.

I don't know what to make of that because, as silly as it looked, ninja-style wall-jumping, tree-climbing combat was cool as hell.

Toady has explicitly said that he doesn't want content related to sexual slavery or concubines or similar in DF, and that's why it was removed from Masterwork in fact. So there's hope, however slim.

Edit: reading through his dev entries, and thinking about how complex the DF internals must be (in terms of code and in terms of system combinatorics), and I'm increasingly very impressed with how much forward progress he can make even in a single day, and how ridiculously time-on-task he seems to be. He may actually be one of the best programmers in gaming?
