Dwarf Fortress

*bashes his head against a wall* That was embarrassingly simple, but thanks.

Well, 0.31.22 is released.  Everyone go pick it up!

I guess this means it's time to really set the rules and format for our succession fort.

I'm going to start a new thread for that; this thread can be left as a general DF discussion thread.

You can find the new thread here: http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,273.new.html

Healthcare with broken bones works now?  Yayayyaya.

Heh. I am pleasantly amazed that battlemaster know of dwarf fortress.

Do you know about the dwarf fortress map archive? Linked on the wiki....its highly instructional...and often amazing.

Speaking of which I finally have to stop working on my now 30+ year old fort and export it to the map archive. I have been tinkering with it for the last RL year on and off and its now rather large and...ah...complicated. Still following a grand design though. Have to look into starting to export it tomorrow. Will post a link here.

Have fun!

Sounds great. Join the Succession Game we're planning as well if you want!

"The Hammerdwarf bites The Goblin Crossbowman in the left lower leg, bruising the muscle through the giant cave spider silk trousers!"
"The Hammerdwarf latches on firmly!"
"The Hammerdwarf shakes The Goblin Crossbowman around by the left lower leg, tearing apart the left lower leg's fat and bruising the bone! A ligament in the left lower leg has been bruised and a tendon has been bruised!"

So... this dwarf picked a Goblin up with his teeth and shook it by the leg... I'm glad he's on my side.

I built what is probably one of my favorite artifacts of all time last week: Reigndancing, a native gold armor stand. It has been rather appropriately placed in the Queen's royal bedchambers.

That must be something similar right?

[Indirik]

Looks kind of similar. Except with an arcade feel. And built-in graphics. And a real interface.

[Telrunya]

Well, it's Dwarves digging tunnels and getting killed. That's pretty much where the similarities end from what I've seen

Its been a long time since someone has replied here. However, there has been updates to Dwarf Fortress! Necromancers! Vampires! Werebeasts!

My wereslug necromancer adventurer is wreaking havoc on the enemy human civilizations. Unfortunately he died when a horde of goblins ambushed him in his slug form.

[Indirik]

My very first fort of the current version had a vampire. Wasn't too hard to find. I locked him in my control room to pull all the levers.

I can't wait for mine carts!

[Telrunya]

Lost my fort through a harddrive failing, I'm awaiting the new version (And the bugfix version after that) before starting again. The Mine Carts sound really interesting.

Trying to figure out the Military at the moment. Currently, I'm stuck on the 'Throw 30 dwarves at enemy, have 25 slaughtered, draft new immigrants to replace fallen dwarves'. Eh nevermind, guess it's working just fine

Long-time Bay12er here.

I haven't tried the cart update but it seems highly promising if not dangerously entertaining if abused. I'm considering a massive entry-chamber of 3 single-tile wide walkways suspended over a 20 z-level drop with minecart tracks down the paths, bridges at the far side where the fort begins, and weapon traps at the entrance to the chamber. I'd like to test the power of fully-loaded metal minecarts barreling down at full-speed toward your charging enemies... I do believe being suspended over a ravine and bashed with a giant metal box full o' stone will have desirable effects.
