Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

[greatorder]

I returned from a 2 week holiday...

AND I'M NOT DEAD!

steam fb? easy to kill. they are only hard if they are made of a stone or metal.

 

[Cromage]

careful kraken, don't want the carnival to come to town just yet.

They should be fine for now, at least if I'm right in that adamantium veins are placed last, overriding other rock. Hollows are always 2x2 and encased in a 4x4 block of adamantium. Given that, there's only one place a hollow could be on this level, if there is one at all.

Still, I'd be disappointed if I didn't see clowns at least once in a DF LP. =D

This LP has gotten me into DF again, although I'm still at the stage of not being able to feed and booze-up my starting 7.

But I have just generated a map which is so epic that I have to get better. It has an island that is 3x3 with a volcano in the middle. It has a glacier with a volcano in the middle. It has a valley between an elf and human settlement where I could throw up a wall and tax any traders. Also the whole damn map is an aquifier.

However as I can barely make much more than a hole in the dirt in a perfect start, I think I cannot yet handle such a large amount of FUN.

1. Get lazy newb pack.
2. Use it to remove that annoying as hell aquifer.
3. Settle in a warm area. Dwarf's won't get maximum happiness but you never have to deal with your things freezing over. Winter just makes everything cool and your dwarf's happy in warm areas.

 

[Shootandrun]

Don't mine too much Adamantine Kraken.... I'd be sad if you lost your fortress only because of greed.

Well now I've got a fairly well functioning 20 dwarf fortress. Currently building the "nobles quarters" (Their rooms are rigged to flood with lava). In several fortress time I might try that glacier volcano.

This LP is like reading a car crash. In a good way.

Dwarf me up. You need some cannon fodder.

How..? Did you do the advanced world gen screen? I can't figure that thing out at all.
Also, you may not be able to remove the aquifers once you've generated the map. You can make the dwarves able to swim so you can plug them up easier.

Editing to the raws to remove it will remove them from the save.

 

[PBMcNair]

It would harden, the monsters would get out and cause a lulzy ending to our fort?

No, what you need to do is case the FBs in lava, trapping them in there. Then you carve out statues in their exact shape and mount them in your fortress. And hope they don't get out...

No, you encase the FBs in lava, trapping them in there. Then you carve out statues in their exact shape and sell them to elves. And hope they DO get out...

Sigh, no, I made a small derp. Editing the main raws won't change a present save game. Go into the data/savefile/awesomemotherfuckingworld and edit them there.

 

[vallorn]

if we breech the Circus we should have some way of sicking the FB's on the Clowns...

because that would be awesome to watch.

 

[HAVERSHA]

Any chance I could be a dwarf also? If so name it Shane.

 

[Chaza]

Can I be redwarfed please?

'NEW! the forgotten beast hurthrut vs. five pterosaur fiends!'

'FIGHT!FIGHT!FIGHT!'

 

[Jaser]

I just spent the last week or so reading through this entire LP. It is by far the most entertaining one I've read so far. So then... Dwarf me up as Jaser. Or as Shinkl, for no particular reason.

"hey, you here to destroy that fort?""yeah, those jerks dug right into our ceiling. do you know how hard it is to get that stuff?""man! we just came here because we hate dwarves. come on to our pool party while we plot there demise!""awe sweet!" and thus was forged the alliance to end dwaranity.

that is an awesome mental image right there. Clowns and FB's having a pool party together.

just wait kraken. soon there will be a Fire FB that decides to set up camp in that lake and then there will be no lake and then there will be cake Fun.

that's what I've been thinking. soon enough, a flame FB will come, and Fun will ensue.


It'll be even better if he opens the circus, then a flame FB comes and releases them from their watery prison.

Nah, it'll just turn into a more attractive hot tub.
