Cephalocidal posted:How are people having these great adventures in adventure mode? I wandered down a dwarven tunnel-road, recruited a macedwarf, resurfaced on the other side of a mountain range with no bearings on the night creature I was hunting and tried to sate my growing hunger by killing the first thing I saw (a weasel) only to have my adventurer slice it into a nearby pond like a furry golf ball which I then drowned while trying to retrieve so I could eat it. It sounds like you've gotten the hang of it

Malcolm posted:With advances in consumer hardware, I foresee a line drawn in the sand between games that are 64-bit/multithreaded, and those that are not. When 64GB RAM and 16-core CPUs are the norm, I think 32-bit single thread applications will really suffer. Don't get me wrong I love Dwarf Fortress, but even commercial games are failing to adapt to the new environment and will eventually become unplayable outside of DOSbox-style emulators for obsolete Windows versions. I think the reverse is happening, single thread performance is the most important metric if I'm buying a CPU because multithreading is so often underutilized

Tiler Kiwi posted:i think that's based off a story of a famous ambush in china. as night is starting to fall, an army on the march comes across a tree with an inscription on it. they call on their general, Pang Juan, who comes up to it, and due to the failing light asks for someone to light a torch so they could make out what was written. by not so outrageous coincidence, a bunch of hidden archers in the distance were given instructions "when you see a torch light up around this spot, fire"; they eviscerate poor Pang the moment his torch is lit. alternatively, the lighting of the torch is the sign for a larger ambush, which eviscerates the entire army and Pang commit suicide under the tree to avoid capture. "wth why are we stopped" "uhh one of the trees has writing on it but its too dark to read and none of us has a torch, we thought we should ask you about it" "for gently caress's sake"

Flesh Forge posted:General FYI one of the more developed DF knockoffs, Oddworld, just did a pretty big update that includes (among many other things) fluid simulation, so there's at least one other game where you can dig out a giant underground colony and then drop an ocean on it Odd Realm?

my first cavern layer is filling with hostile bird people from a nearby Cave Swallow Man civilization faster than I can kill them. They don't try to invade but instead they hang out at the edges of the map in huge numbers and they'll swoop in to instantly murder any civilian or dog they see. They have a lot of steel spears so even heavily armed axelords can get isolated and overwhelmed in the hosed up cavern pathing. I've sealed the caverns and carved archer nests into the stalactites to make a cool shooting gallery

deep dish peat moss posted:I don't know what happened but after years and years of complete peace, a hill titan showed up so I sealed up the entrance to my fort, it stuck around until migrants came then it ate 6 of them and left the map. So I unsealed my entrance and memorialized/buried the missing migrants. Then a hammerdwarf showed up to steal my legendary cup. I sent my militia after him and they completely annihilated him but while they were gone a huge brawl broke out in my tavern and a bunch of people died. While I was looking at that trying to figure out what happened, Goblin Snatchers showed up and tried to abduct all the children in the fort. I sent my militia after them and they easily dispatched them, but again while they were busy a huge brawl broke out in the tavern and a bunch of dwarves died. The tavern dudes were probably part of the goblin thief's civilization, I've had a couple big massacres in my tavern when an agent of a neighbor civilization tried to sneak in to grab an artifact and went hostile and some "tavern guests" sided with the thief

cavern invasions can get pretty nuts right now yea, in my case the invaders from bird country never leave their entrance point so I can't beat them defensively, I have to send my dwarfs to painstakingly purge bird hell if I want to use the caverns for anything, and more bird men just keep coming

A couple things I realized and/or remembered about the game after playing the steam release for a while: - Dwarves for some reason seem to train worse if you manually click the 'train' button, if a squad is assigned to a barracks but left to their own devices (with or without training in their schedule) they'll do the advanced training stuff like sparring and demonstrations which work a lot better and make them happier. Supposedly squad size also makes a difference here, with smaller training squads being better - Don't go crazy trying to fix a badly traumatized dwarf, just send them back. You'll probably get more. By the same token, if a single dwarf with no useful skills arrives with six young children you don't want them, why did they even come to a haunted glacier

Also, parents will take their children with them but orphaned children can not be expelled, another good reason to kick out dwarfs with a lot of children as soon as they arrive. Even unarmed, a berserk teenage dwarf can be shockingly deadly

NyetscapeNavigator posted:You CAN sort the list either alphabetically, or by profession. The regular unit list yes, the squad assignment list no (I don't think? If there is a way I don't see it.) I've begun tagging my dwarfs with their military role so it's easier to find them and put them in squads

A visiting baron got killed by a mountain titan and dropped the symbol of his barony, a artifact short sword: I assigned it to one of my swords dwarfs but I noticed a couple years later he wasn't using it at training, it turns out that barony has a new baroness and she collected it while visiting one of my temples

This is the king, Urvad His father, the previous king, lived in my fort and was killed by a tantruming child. Prince Urvad was living elsewhere when his father died and he isn't joining my fort for some reason, though my fort remains the capital. Urvad visits the fort sometimes and crawls around for a while. He has an old untreated leg injury so he cannot walk, and since he's not part of my fort he doesn't get access to my crutches or doctors. Sorry buddy

yeah I forgot that setting workshops to produce clothes when # clothes falls below a certain level doesn't work, because ragged clothes normally don't get used up they just get discarded so they're still "available" but unusable, so a bunch of my dwarfs are traumatized from the fort running out of clothes for a while

My military reached a critical mass where I could comfortably clear out the hundreds of bird people infesting the cavern. My surviving mildwarfs are now much stronger but also miserable from all the bird death and miasma, hopefully they acclimate well to civilian life for a while!
