Tias posted:Is there an (easy, not much of a modder) way to ensure you don't get completely broken megabeasts in a short amount of time, or ever? What about the times when the Salt Titan turns up at your door? Those are the times that people sing about - when a monster that has killed hundreds in world gen gets into the real game and comes apart when a crossbow dwarf hits him with his bow.

TOOT BOOT posted:I wish we got at least one big thing for Fortress mode like guilds or a magic system or religion or something. We're entering the stage now where he'll add a few "quick" things that really shake up the gameplay - IIRC last time he added minecarts in a day or something stupid like that. Two years on world generation, two weeks changing the game, Toady one folks. (That said, I do think the shift to worlds carrying on as the game plays is a major one, and I can see why it could take someone two years,)

Angela Christine posted:No don't! That would depend on how well automated it was. I assume that the next step for the release two years hence will be off site command - sending out armies and work parties - it may be that you will be able to set work parties to build a road from your fort to the town of Unreliable Breaches nearby, twenty of your dwarves will go off map, and you won't hear from them for three years until they pop back saying the road is complete. Unless they get ambushed, at which point you get moved to that location to fight out the battle. This being DF of course, it will take 20 key presses to order this, and half the time the builders will decide that the quickest way to get to a place is right through the necromancers fortress, giving him a nice easy route to attack you from.

I have to say, it is fun doing a periodic refresh on Mantis, Toady obviously got to work 1:20 mins ago and has already fixed 10 bugs. including the talking to deity crash. My adventurer will no longer have a world destroying moment when speaking to his/her god! Shame there are 1970 outstanding ones!

DrMelon posted:The succession is avenging the untimely death of the previous player and/or taking over worldgen sites to make a warlord bandit civilisation composed entirely of adventurers. Then you could upset the civ in fortress mode and try to survive the pummeling of adventurers. That or build a quick fort of Dwarves who start a historical society, and send out adventurers across the world to learn the history of the world and collect all the artifacts.

TildeATH posted:That's because you're thinking it's fortress mode but instead of one year with an overseer you get one life with an adventurer or some other arbitrary thing. This has to be done at some point, a Dwarf World LP, rather than a Dwarf Fortress. Yeah, there will be no 20 year epics, but whats stopping someone taking a second turn to continue their fort, or someone else taking over said fort if they are interested.

I do think that once the bugfixing period is over, Toadys next aim should be to make off site battles happen - that way we can really get back to rebuilding lost Dwarven civs - also it should be something he can do in a few months rather than taking two years...... You know what, I'm just wishing now.

Thats a big thing actually, you build temples to keep dwarves happy, but Urist has a bad day and topples an idol. Suddenly, instead of a angry dwarf, you have werewolf loose in the centre of your fortress.

Alehkhs posted:So, when they say something is "lost," is it entirely destroyed, or is it possible to go track it down? Because I'm rolling another Jones-esque archeologist character currently, and it would be nice to know. This could be a fantastic LP - someone starts by building a libary, then people have to go out into the world and collect all the tomes, artifacts and other collectables and bring them back and store them in said libary.

markus_cz posted:Ideally, you would first create a fortress and build a library in it, then retire the fortress and use adventurers to bring books in. And you can switch between the fortress and adventurers however the LP demands. Dammit, I even have a title. "Dwarf Fortress Libarians - Knowlage run Armok" I think I may have to do this once the version gets a bit more stable. I guess it might be an idea to run a few fortresses in fort mode to get more places to hunt for artifacts.

A bard turned up at my fortress and made it through the roaming packs of Giant Dwarf eating Hyenas. He carried this book. Apparently he decided to make poetry, not weapons, and has written a book about it.
