Coward posted:I'm trying to recreate getting into the Semis. I want to believe that there's an archer build that is competitive against melee fighters. I'm content for that only to be possible in team fights. I think in one of the very first tournaments, an elf archer actually made it to the finals, before team battles were even a thing. And then his head was crushed by a slade whip, because for whatever reason slade was an available material back then.

Plans? Who needs plans? Just kill the other guys or, failing that, die in an amusing way.

Oh, for the other three guys in "Bronzestabbed Debate Team", I don't really feel like that name is very fitting. How about "Dead Guys Gonna Die"?

I have actually won fights both with a Minotaur crossbowman and a Minotaur armed only with 30 crossbow bolts. This is not a game you should min-max your dude, because there's a pretty good chance a single random roll lets the gimmick build slaughter him.

I think the difference between a rank 3 and a rank 4 skill is lower than the difference between a rank 6 and a rank 7 skill as well, although I'm not sure about that. Might as well let the tournament keep using the same rules, just to see if it actually does matter that much. Can always change how it works for next time.

ZeeToo posted:The primary thing I'm concerned about would be DF coding coming to a fore. I seem to recall that at least with this specific gimmick was that it (used to?) not just stab with one arrow. Each arrow stabbed like it was alone... as did the other 39. I think that particular bug was actually fixed before the arena was even a thing in Dwarf Fortress. The only actual problem with that gimmick build is the fact the person running the fight always has to remember to remove the bow/crossbow before every fight that gimmick build is in. And if they forget, then the gimmick build is screwed, because they probably didn't put any points in bows or crossbows.

Sadly, it looks like the other team finally figured out that Krog only had iron armor on his limbs and head.

I'm going to vote for single elimination. To be honest, I think this tournament dragged on a bit too long, and it's way more thrilling reading your team's fight write-ups when the question at the end is "Were you eliminated, yes/no?" Also, it's a lot more fun to spend a meaningful pile of points in one go on your fighter than to spread them out over multiple matches.

Hooray for having a competent teammate do everything for me! But man, can we go back to getting points after every round next tournament? Even if it means the risk of getting eliminated for a single loss, it was a lot more fun being able to level up in between rounds.

I was going to be happy with just boxing out a dark gnome, but apparently gremlin punches are still strong enough to pull limbs and tear apart muscle through iron armor on an elf. Though now the question is, what the hell do I spend these points on? I already maxed out striking and it's not like I can upgrade Dan Man Dan's fists. Gauntlets don't actually add to strikes, do they?

Well, my guy has a 100% win rate for the two times I tested him against my teammates' fighters (that have points spent on them, anyways), so now I don't have to feel guilty about my horrible gimmick build. But we are definitely not going to win this tournament.

Dance Officer posted:Do you want to work together to maybe try and not be awful? Nah, that's a bit too much effort, and not winning a tournament isn't the same as not having fun. Also, so far we all have the same weakness in common, and I really want to see how that plays out. AJ_Impy posted:I'm open for tweaking as needed. Did it get anything done? You inflicted one serious injury before getting paralyzed, so not exactly a thorough test of your fighter's abilities.

...uh, I did not expect any of that. That was an extremely gruesome match, which makes it even weirder that the team with no armor won. RIP Bowbold, we salute you for your determination. (Also rip my fighter's guts what the gently caress Naked Snake?)

Can't wait for my dumb gimmick build to get brutally eliminated in the first round by a tiny gnome named Stabbers.

I had completely forgotten about our team's dumb gimmick, but Naked Snake proves that all you need is a knife and some venom.

So uh, that's a pretty huge difference in Naked Snake's showing. For those who missed it, in the first run of this fight before the crash, Naked Snake got killed almost instantly. Dwarf Fortress combat really is all or nothing, huh? How the gently caress has our team made it this far?!
