LET´S PLAY DWARF FORTRESS We´re in the world of Usnuspbuz

Some of the biggest updates are the climbing ability (handy as fuck), jumping (also handy as fuck, specially combined with climbing), advanced stealth mechanics taking smell, sound and cones of vision into account, and a completely revamped combat system that allows to recreate a Jackie Chan movie. Party controls are also improved and you can handle companion´s inventory and give some orders.

On top of that and as the biggest thing: THE WORLD IS NOW ALIVE. Everything happens and keeps happening during play: wars begin and end, armies roam the land, camp and attack cities, people rebel against enemy occupation, kings hold councils to decide the destiny of kingdoms, etc.
Crossbows have also been nerfed, so an untrained kobold with one won´t look like a machine gun anymore, and wood/bone tip armor is way less effective against armor.

In this world in particular, there´s no vampires. No werewolves either. That means that the only way to become stronger than normal or achieve immortality is to become a necromancer.

CHARACTER CREATION TIME

I seriously do not know how to play this game for the life of me, but I really want to because a lot of my friends do but they're assholes and will not teach me how. Does anyone have a beginners guide or something?

>>280993472

It's really nice to see you, OP. I was in almost every thread when you did this last.

Had an adventure save where a dragon was the only notable thing in the world. Accidentally stumbled upon it 20 minutes in, and killed it by hurling a dagger at it's face. Then a goblin killed me with an arrow not two minutes later.

Done.

Next step, skills. We´ll need:
-stealth, because no way we´re fighting our way through 10.000 goblins

-one weapon skill (two if ranged - we need a close up weapon)


>>280994580
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Main_Page

There´s two quickstart guides, the one for fortress mode and the one for adventure (what we´ll play here). Check out the thread in /vg/ too, it´s a very friendly community as long as you bother to check the wiki before asking something

>>280994769
Pleasure to read of old adventurers. Those threads were pretty fun, I still have all the images saved.

How old was that dragon? Young dragons are easy game. But here they´re adults

>>280994832
That book is pretty much outdated though, the wiki is enough to get started.

Does Therapist work with the latest version yet?

>>280995017
Yes, check the posts in the forum thread for the 40.24 compatible version.

>>280995009
Yeah, the book is just the wiki put in order

>>280995017
Not sure. Haven´t played fortress in some time, it´s so time consuming.

Most other applications are updated, though, so most likely

>>280994832

wouldn't that be dreadfully out of date now?

>>280994887
Full hammerdwarf. And I imagine it was pretty young, I rarely let my worlds generate too long

>>280995107
Thanks, you're awesome.

>>280994887

Lots of points into ambush, dodge, striker and kicker. We'll be the Divine Fist.

>>280995148
Dragons take 1.000 years to become adults. Still, they´re mostly crystal cannons

I´m not sure a hammer is the best weapon for stealthing around. It takes awfully long to kill somebody, and we need quick action if we´re gonna sneak through so fucking many enemies.

I´d recommend something cutting for quick beheading or spears to fuck up organs, but let´s see how it goes.

About other skills: do we go full stealth tank, or sacrifice points in combat in exchange of being able to climb properly and jump far away?

Knapping.

>>280995441

full tank. Moving is for people who can't fight.

I vote we should move closer to the tower near the beginning of day 2, but the moment we see anything EVIL we run like fuck.

Day 1 we should be procuring additional foodstuffs and/or better equipment.

Why not


OK, turn of events. We appeared in a fort, and they´re fucking mazes, so I tried to quick travel outside. I accidentally found a deep underground road leading somewhere from the fortress.

Should we follow it, or try to reach the surface? and go on with our plan?

Travel underground til on half food reserves then leave.

We follow the underground road.

It´s a pretty boring road, just a straight path (with a lot of turns) dug straight through the rock, sometimes passing through an underground lake.

After some walking, we arrive at another dwarven fort.

I think that´s all we´re going to find if we keep going. Try to find exist from this one up?

Nothing stopping us from having a look at what items are available. Afterwards we can go burninate the countryside for loot.

I actually didn't notice you used Ironhand, I thought you were using the one from the OP map screenshot (looks like default). I take my previous statement back in that case.

>>280997857
>>280997941
Yep. The surface is our best bet. Let´s see if we can exit


It seems the fortress is built inside this cavern. Or maybe further down the road.

Should we venture into the cavern?


We also seem to have travelled quite a lot. ÇWe´re already close to goblin land

It seems like you have to be extremely autistic to play this game.

>>280998227

> venture into the cavern

FUCK NO. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW.

>>280998227
Sure, let's check out the cavern.

>>280998227

Look for a way out. Goblin mobs might be a bit much at this point.

Does going under a bridge, starting to drown, and going out really fast still cheese your stats to massive levels?

That´s a lot of troglodytes

It means we have more chances to hit somebody each time we wave our hammer


All these animals are tamed. The owners must be somewhere.

Also, the only way to go is either another half a day trip through the cavern to the starting location, or straight through where the troglodytes are. Unless we want to try our luck in the cavern.

Vote now. Fight, go back, cavern.

>>280998889
UristMcOP said they look tamed. I was thinking a traveling party/settlement would be nearby.

See the thingy in the up left corner? That´s a compass. The symbols mean different things, the color of the letter shows distance. Green letter, close. We´re close to an underground dwarven fort to the North, so it looks like we have to go into the cavern (or down the road, which probably turns North again very soon)

One of them talked about a human vampire. Legends viewer didn´t show any, so many it´s a new one

>>281000282
I don't know exactly how the combat system works now but when I last played you select an equipped item, hammer, shield, crutch, handbag, that sort of thing. Then you pick a creature to target, and you get a list of available targets on that creature, head, upper body, right hand, left eye, back molar, ect. You're told how accurate your hit will be and how much damage it will deal. So if you get a tricky strong shot to the head it's likely to miss but will probably kill if it hits while a very accurate grazing shot to the leg is almost guaranteed to hit but won't deal much damage. As the fight goes on the the fighters get more damaged their defenses lower and more damage can be dealt, for example if you break someones shield arm they'll be unable to block ranged attacks anymore or if you break a leg they'll fall over and be unable to dodge melee attacks.

Boogeymen don't give a shit whether you're on a tree or not.

Jackie Chan

>>281007126
Some weird insectoid creature that appears at night and attacks lone travelers who sleep in the wild. They´re small and not that dangerous, but they attack in big numbers, and one of each few is actually strong enough to break you some bone.

Only way to avoid is traveling with somebody or sleeping in some place (a house, a cave, whatever). Sleeping at the beach is also safe


JACKIE CHAN DORF INCOMING

Are you forgetting that they can climb just as you can?

I need a couple minutes. Meanwhile, everybody check out the map on top and decide which dragon we want to go for

>>281007745
Climbing is a skill. Low skill results in falling after going up just a little, so going up high enough is safe against poor climbers.

Only one boogeyman attacked, after all. Don´t they always spam three at the same time, minimum?

>>281007723
Multiinsanity the guy who functionally played Fallout new vegas with 10 people from /vg/ was hammering the fuck out of dworf a few weeks ago in an attempt to niggerrig a multiplayer functionality in.

Fucking hilariously bad when it comes to fun aspects though, especially considering everything has a turn-based style movement/attack combat and a lot of attacks/moves take a differing amount of "steps".

No idea, I almost always go archer+spearman. This guy seems to know his shit, so we´ll take a shield >>281008519

>>281008646
Yep, that´s the easiest way

Important: Will we face the dragon alone, or bring a party with us? If alone, we can min max with the points from the social traits so we´re stronger

>>281008465
Human is best for wrestling.

>>281008731
Even if it sounds a bit boring then I would say human to go full Jackie Chan, if no one else has a problem with this.

>>281008342
There wasn't much information on how he did it, but people who wouldn't have finished their steps would be frozen from any further action until their steps had finished, so as soon as someone made a move that did enough to finish their stepcount, they were able to move again.

the game stopped functioning once 4 people tried to strangle eachother in a circle on the same steps

>>281008838
lets take a party to avoid death by boogeymen again?

>>281008881
>>281008884
Do we put most points on fighter and some on strike/kick, or vice versa? Or even on all?

>>281008972
We just need one guy for that, and we can get one guy without much social skill. But if we want a big band, then we need a lot of social, or it´ll take forever until we do enough deeds to recruit a big party

>>281008986
lots into kick lets do that illegal karate kid finisher on a dragon

>>281009108
just 1 companion is perfect

>>281009135
I´m just not sure how the mechanics work for this, and where should we put the points to maximize the effect

>>281009108

OK, I did a balance.

We´ll keep the spear to sell, but not use it in combat.

We´re on the red X. The female dragon is on the circle, slightly out of the map. The way there is heavily populated, mainly by dwarves, but then there´s a sudden change and it´s goblin territory. The dragon lives right next to a goblin fort, so we gotta be careful


LET´S COMMENCE THE KICKENING

>>281010427
Try to find a stepladder in our travels.

>>281010427
can we sneak our way to the dragon or are we going to have to leave a trail of kicked in corpses? fuck it lets kick something to death, jackies feet first for blood

>>281010643
Does such a thing exists in this game? Could we make this a personal challange to kill something with it?

>>281010643
Are stepladders already in?

We lost the companions at some point, when they decided hunting a wild animal would be more interesting than following us. Luckily, we were pretty close to some hillocks, and have found refuge right as the night begins to fall.


We´ll pass here the night, and in the morning keep going. We´re pretty much next to the dragon´s lair... might arrive before midday if we leave at sunrise

>>281012186
Faggot companions don't what a friend they have in Jackie Chan.

Doesn´t look like we can drink his blood. Well, we can, but does nothing. I´ve tried cooking the fat, but still we can only lick it, not drink

Somebody check the wiki or whatever, we need emergency water

>>281013618

>>281014038
Not implemented.

We also don´t know where is the lair. I´m looking for it in quick travel mode while looking for unfrozen rivers, but can´t find any lair

>>281014179
Oh hey, melting and drinking snow still works. Just seems to be half as effective for whatever reason, so it takes two sips until you see it taking effect.

We´re saved. Now it´s just looking for the dragon

Rivers, brookes, snow and ice is all I'm finding on the wiki.

Ironhand.


We´re sleeping until dawn. We´re on the region, but the damn lair is forgotten and we have to stumble upon it

>>281014326
For future reference, plan your travels carefully.
Travel along rivers, and look beforehand if you can avoid crossing rivers.
Drink regularly, and refill your waterskin whenever you can, including snow (fill waterskin, interact with campfire). Even better, find a second waterskin and carry it with you.

Keep a few dozen units of food in your backpack, and if you fall below a certain threshold (which you've just decided on arbitrarily), you get out of quick travel and kill the next animal you find.

He must really love doing it.
I wonder if the game will ever reach a stage where he could call it "finished" or if he'll just work on it until he dies and that will be the final version.

We still have two companions. Let them follow? Tell them to wait? Tell them to leave?

Well, I derped. There´s no way down, just up, and it´s all empty anyways. Let´s keep going for the main fort, should be close already

What about the companions?

>>281020990
Is it even feasible to frontal assault these places in adventure mode? Can you have enough companions that it wouldn't be miserable?

We failed to grab anything.

Highly unlikely, given that the necromancers will keep raising the undead. You´d need a massive amount of crossbows in order to kill everything fast enough, and it´d be mostly for the slight chance of killing everything between one of the bolts and the necromancer.


Usually you become a vampire first, because undead don´t attack undead

Lessons of the day:

Climbing is great to pass over obstacles

Climbing is cool as fuck and can save your life

You need more than three points in climbing or you´ll be falling all the time

Climbing is slow as hell and not an adequate escape route when enemies are in close range

Should've brought a stepladder and a baby.

hey OP are you really good at world generation?

ive been trying for over a month to generate a good(preferably 3x3) fortress site that:
a) is on a terrifying biome
b) has the reanimation effect present (everything that dies reanimates as undead regardless of where it is)
c) has AMPLE amounts of resources (iron, steel, flux stone, farmable soil/clay, adamantine, etc.)
d) World contains plenty of dragons/titans/megeabeasts/semibeasts
e) World contains other flourishing civilizations that havent been annihilated (mostly so i can be sieged and trade)
f) World size should be small or medium (Pocket is too small, larger worlds take a long time to gen) with not a lot of water (the OP image has too much water for my tastes)
g) embark is in an area with dangerous creatures (i managed to gen a world with the above parameters but the only creatures i ever saw after 3 years were the animals that immigrants brought

all i want is a terrifying as fuck undead embark that still has resources to become a powerful fort, i'm more interested in heavy military management than resource management (hence why i'm not just doing a terrifying glacier)

i can't gen worlds for shit, and the bay 12 forums are full of arrogant people, someone help me please

You're probably just gonna have to retry a lot, other than the obvious things like setting world age to young and resources to very high. A terrifying jungle or savannah would probably work all right for you.
