Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum
- Thread starter Internet Kraken
- Start date
Heh. I just looked at your end of first year report; and saw the population was at 12 back then with 2 deceased. I'm now looking at my own fortress, which has a population of 52, with 4 deceased at the end of the first year. Stuff's a bit hectic here, with ogres, trolls and giant cave spiders just pouring in, and the odd redistribution of minerals makes it difficult to find stuff for iron or steel. Nickel is the only metal I've been able to put out, which is not weapon grade material.
Also; do zombies drown? If not; you can line the floor of the HFS with alot of zombie creatures, in case the seacreatures aren't enough for invasions. With the added bonus that shooting them with arrows doesn't work, I have heard.
How's lil' SamuelT doing?

Internet Kraken, seeing as how you've played your share of DF, how are you feeling about Reveredtour's chances at this point? How much of a future do you think this constantly beseiged, forgotten beast attracting, blood-soaked fortress has?
Also, I've developed a habit of seeing how inappropriate I can get the name of my fortress to be. My favorite so far is my current fortress, whose name translates into "Bleaching the Anus of Angels."
What? It's not my fault "anus" is an option.

Alright, so I just gout out of school for a week of vacation. I feel the need to point out that my work ethic on vacation is nonexistent. You'd think that having more free time would get me to work better but it actually just makes me slack off. In addition to this I will also be visiting colleges next week and making a decision about which one to go to. So there probably won't be any updates coming soon.
I have no excuse for this other than being lazy though, so feel free to berate me.

how about instead of berating you for not providing me with free entertainment, I berate you for making me feel old? Unless, of course, you've waited until your 30's to attend college, in which case I withdraw my beratement due to you being older than me.Internet Kraken said:
but we all know that's not the case . . . *sigh* . . .
Damn, I'm so tough I can hit spiders in the foot.
Their priorities are drinking. I see nothing wrong in that. And it gets me extra kills.hazabaza1 said:
I'm surprised that undead spiders can spit out webs even though randomly generated titans and forgotten beasts that are supposed to have the web ability can not.Internet Kraken said:Sadly I only realized this when Rabid let a giant zombie cave spider out.
Being zombified doesn't change the base creature. Zombie dragons can breathe fire because non-zombie dragons can.
If I'm remembering correctly, the issue with the randomly generated creatures is that they either lack the [WEBBER] token, or lack a materials definition for a web-type item. It's a relatively minor bug, but it's also relatively benign, so there's been no real push for it to get fixed yet.

I'm not upset about you taking some time off from the LP, Kraken, but I am a bit annoyed that you get the week off while I have 3 essays due over the next few days. Plus a midterm. FML.
Also, you're younger than me. Only by about a year it seems, but still.

Just on the note of the cave spider, how does one move animals without the death? I once tried to move one of your Abyss Keepers into a trap room, and it got out and killed my only squad. Bastard. I then learned that 3 dwarfs does not a military make.
And on another note, which venom is more lethal, giant cave spider or giant desert scorpion?

I only made this account so I could reply to this thread :3
I reckon I would've been owned by now what with all of the goblin seiges.
oh yeah, and could you dwarf me up please?
I also love the way that 100 years down the line, your dwarves will all have cancer and be giving birth to mutants due to what you've made the fort out of.

but the radiation might explain the beasts.vallorn said:
after 1050 years of low-level radiation, something must've had it's DNA screwed up.
for all we know, he's killing an old dwarf, mother of 3. or a teacher.
either that, or some pets somehow got to the circus and met the clowns. then THEY screwed up the thing's DNA.
who knows? this is dwarf fortress! logic and dwarf fortress don't go together well.
