Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

[The_root_of_all_evil]

How is Root going to carry a second baby. Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't Root only have one arm?

Don't worry. My girls are getting along nicely.

Come and play with us.​

How do you hold the spear though?

Through sheer force of will.

Like Roranoa Zolo holds his third sword... In his mouth!

awwww i havent done anything cool lately, which is a shame, but at least im not dying from a syndrome or being eaten by a giant flying toad (although it would be hilarious)

Lovely miasma cloud down there. Also nice to see the blood bowl finished up finally. I hope it works out as well as planned.

If you need more names for dwarfing migrants, feel free to use the later part of my username: Endrati

I finally got my own fortress off the ground. although now my miners are dead because I dug down a z-layer and I guess they couldn't get out and died of thirst. a shame really.

I'm starting to get the hang of it, just so many buttons to push.

EDIT: I thought that beast would put up more of a fight than that.

YOU haven't done anything cool? The last anything I did was commit dwarfslaughter. Unless you count fathering two very-doomed children.

It's a learning process, but I would guess your first mistake was not building a staircase. You should probably try to find a Let's Play detailing the beginning of the fort to get an idea.

Yaaaaay! My syndrome didn't kill everyone! Great update, Internet Kraken. Looking forward to the next one.

congrats lemur, root! hey kraken,just a quick nquestion, what size was your worldgengen and what numbber of beasts? you seam to be chewing through fbs quite nicely. like i said, it is possible that eventually you'll kill them all, if beasts are low enough and the world is small enough.

 

[Internet Kraken]

What's my kill count? Am I still alive and fit to bite giant monsters from the deep?

i got screentime! and i died... oh well. at least i didn't ddie grabbing socks or anything, i died in battle. the whole spear thing reminds me of all the times i've been hit in the face with random objects, that didn't really bug me. lol. though seriously, suffocation?

You suffocated becuase there was an arrow lodged in your lung that made breathing difficult. With no one around to help, the injury only got worse and you subsequently died from it.

why dont you have Nobles yet Kraken? and what are you planning for them when they do turn up?

Nobles don't exist in the current Dwarf Fortress game, at least not in the way you are probably thinking. Perhaps you are thinking of the old versions where you had nobles like guild masters and tax collectors visit the fort. Such NPCs no longer exist. The only nobles you have are your own self-appointed leader, and in rare cases the king/queen and their consort.

Is it possible that he survived the syndrome because his hand was smashed open therefore causing blood loss so he didn't pop?

I don't believe dwarves can actually die by exploding (ew) from such a syndrome. While syndromes do a lot of things, that isn't one of them. I think.

I would laugh my ass off if this goes on for another year IRL and the delayed effects kick in.

If this goes on for another year in real life I'll probably kill myself for wasting so much time on it.

How is Root going to carry a second baby. Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't Root only have one arm?

Root currently carries a spear and shield in addition to two infants and somehow manages to use them properly. No, I don't know how that works. Dwarves are determined fighters and find a way.

I finally got my own fortress off the ground. although now my miners are dead because I dug down a z-layer and I guess they couldn't get out and died of thirst. a shame really.

That is the exact same way my first fort started.

I always pick the largest worldgen size available. I think the last time I checked the typical number of forgotten beasts in such worlds was around 120.

In addition, Kraken's just engraved a Statue garden overlooking the bedrooms in my Fortress. It shows a picture of me cuddling two warthogs.

He's getting kicked into the FB as soon as one arrives.

One thing...What's a good way to set up wells? I always keep getting stuck without the nasty water despite numerous areas to drink from.

 

[adasdad]

the episode of curiosity i just watched reminded me of all the syndrome talk. some aliens had a hypothetical invasion,and created a virus that was like mild flu but then made people spaz out and have there eyeballs explode.

root holds vall, vall holds veok, veok holds the spear.

My dwarf continues to be far more sucessfull than me. He's an accomplished soldier who's happily married and has two kids. I'm a single warehouse worker living in his parents basement who does nothing but work, party, listen to music and play videogames.

I'm sure you'll kill them all Kraken.
