I was tempted to give the Stabo/Purple Fist matchup to Purple Fist, but Stabo's banking 86 points in the first round, which is he almost guaranteed to win. That crab's gonna be a menace.

On the other hand, a single glancing hit on him is potentially enough to cause lethal bleeding. He's a real glass cannon.

>>181181032
I tested the whole "Crab Carrying a Knife" thing in the arena, and their speed is lowered to around 0.106 or something with an iron dagger.

But I still got my hopes up.

Dunno about that, if she can get past that first round maybe.

Metal bolts will pierce Lava Lad pretty much all the time. I can't remember if Tourneyanon removed no pain or no exert, but if it was no pain, landing a single bolt before getting to melee has a decent chance of winning the fight for him.

>>181182471
No, They just came and told me I'm a cunt.
Last caravan that came got attacked by a werelizard and died so maybe theyre upset I didnt help

Silver is some of the best material for ammo in the game, man. The damage of arrows and bolts is based entirely on weight, and there are very few materials heavier than silver. But even then I'm not truly confident in my cheetahboy. If he has to go on melee he's in for some serious trouble. Also, surprised no one got the reference for the origin of my character.

>>181184536
Oh okay, I thought they used the penetration statistics like spears, since adamantine bolts are still really good. Must be a mix of stats.

I can assure you as his manager, he will survive.
Or die horribly

>>181184536
>Silver is some of the best material for ammo in the game

I know this is the conventional wisdom, but I think something changed at some point. In 43.05 I've found that silver/copper bolts are always deflected by iron armor while steel bolts punch right through.

>>181185264
I still think silver might be my best choice against lava lad. Maybe I'll replace it with stil if I manage to win. Super fucking excited for this tournament.

>>181185487
Fair enough, I think tissues work differently from armor even when they're the same material.

>Super fucking excited for this tournament
Same, even though I'm probably getting wrekt in the first round.

>>181185487
Well, you better hope that LL doesn't get within punching distance of your boy, because he's got fists of steel, the strength of at least 50 angry dwarves and chiselled, rock solid abs.

I have a feeling this tournament is gonna kick ass, mainly due to the colourful cast of characters in it.
That, and there's a lot more gimmick characters in it too.

Well, joke is that Amelia starts off as an awful ass unit with awful ass stats. However she's one of only 3 characters that can promote 3 times instead of the normal 2, effectively giving her another 20 or so chances to gain stats over anyone else.
Eventually, she becomes huge.

From dorf civ.

>>181187053
He's quintessentially dwarven. Being born in a fortress makes him a dwarf.

>>181187053
Born in a fort, named by dwarven customs, raised by dwarven values and chugging booze all his life
Still no beard I suppose, so into the pit he goes

>>181187053
Dwarves won a war against some goblins. Goblin survivors were accepted into dwarven civilization because dwarves don't accept slavery (Humans would just enslave the survivors). This goblin's past relatives are probably war survivors that got integrated into dwarven society. As such, he was born in a dwarven civ, wich led to him having a dwarven name. He probably also has dwarven values like loving craftsmanship and alcohol and disliking nature.

Both should be interesting.
Every time I start a fort I get really bad startscumming urges to re-embark until I have the perfect piece of geography to base my entrance around and then try to have it all planned out before I dig out a single tile and I can never move on from there.

so using autolabor in DFhack or enabling "automatic job assignments", no one is fishing, at all. is this just because most of them are busy hauling/building shit? is fishing that low of a priority? any idea how i can get 1-3 of these fuckers to keep fishing, aside from disabling the other 2 and only using dwarf therapist?

Im not the kind of person that gets exited easily but this tournament is getting me hyped. I should be focusing on doing stuff and not being on a 24/7 for any updates. Fuck

I guess the lower one doesn't really count as an entrance until I build the bridge. Soon.
The entry hall on the lower entrance is 17z tall, and the entry arch itself is 14z tall. I've already cast some foundations in the lake, but I've got a little more to do before I can get the bridge started properly.
The upper entrance is a 16z rampway corkscrew in a hollow tube. It ends just above the top of the magma piston. It has canopy over it that can collapse the whole thing into the piston in an emergency, but both entrances are pretty much indefensible if something my military can't handle comes along.

>>181212783
I'll tell you the same thing I always say.
The secret to subconsciously making better-looking forts is to make more specific, less gigantic stockpiles.
Stuff like feeder stockpiles, specific stockpiles for improvable furniture (that are set to give to your jeweler's for example), separate your food by types, separate your finished goods into tradefodder/clothes/rest...
Once it stops being a featureless square, once it gets a little more complex, it feels much better and looks more organic.
Creative stockpiling also opens up gameplay opportunities, for example cooking your seed overflow, actually decorating shit, actually dying clothes, separating things (esp. furniture) into quality levels, having a more organic census of the state of your prime matter, etc
Oh and locked doors. They're a miracle. I lock my wood stockpile when I want to build floors so the materials list doesn't get padded by a shitton of log types. When a dorf goes on a mood I just lock my low value gems and metals so I don't need to forbid shit in stocks.

>(Toady One) Fixed up several issues causing artifacts to not appear where they belong. They'd often be lost on sites and never found, even after routine situations where you'd expect the artifact to be passed on. For instance, a bronze helmet that was the symbol of the dwarven duchess was lost on site after the duchess passed on from natural causes, and it took several years for another dwarf to find it and give it to the next duke -- the handover process is now more routine. Kobolds are also no longer allowed to make claims on artifacts (they still steal them, of course). They always store them in the trophy room now -- finding a single artifact held by a kobold somewhere in the living area was too difficult. Artifacts were disappearing out of my backpack, and that's sorted out.

I'm talking real diagonal walls, not semi-diagonal walls like you use. In fact, you'r walls are closer to round walls. since the tiles only need to be consistent within themselves.

i tried building a well on a river on my site, but when the river froze it seems to have disappeared and now i don't have a source of any water..

any suggestions?

>>181230268
make an underground channel that leads the river into your fort. you can build a well anywhere you want on top of it.

>>181230268
build an underground well that draws water from an underground reservoir.

the reservoir can draw water from the river, but make sure to add a few diagonal turns to depressurise the water.

>>181230450
>>181230480

thanks guys.

>>181230450

wont the water freeze?

>>181230952
no it won't. water that is actually underground (you can check that with "k") will never freeze. on top of that, if the source of the water is a river, it will also keep flowing, so you can use it for water wheels, waterfalls and alike although I am not 100% on this

How do people even make forts like that and pic related? Do they just plan every single step from embark?

I imagine that when youre building your basic/starting necessities and dig down or into a wall, you would have to clear out the entire area and make a fucking mess in order to expand or start anew with your design.

>>181232795
I'm not sure, though the elfs came with the goblins so I think it's just one gobbo invasion with a bunch of elf recruits.

Probably. You could just let that dragon take care of them, you know. Make sure to post screenchots if you do that

The issue isn't the troops, my traps(and pet dragon) should take care of them. The issue is the fps death leading into crash, which are probably unrelated desu.

Could any modders help me with some problems with my mod? I've been trying for weeks to crack them but I haven't made any progress. This is my mod: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=12897
which adds 9 new races to the game. One of them, the Manat race, has a bunch of castes with differing abilities. One of the castes, the Fleshsmith, is supposed to use poisonous gases in combat, while another, the Face, is supposed to regenerate its limbs by transforming into something for a second or two and then reverting. I tried to add these abilities to these castes, but for some reason they simply refuse to work like they are supposed to. If anyone could download my mod and take a look at these issues and tell me how to fix them, I would greatly appreciate it.

>>181236229
Since v0.42.01:

>Over-consumption of alcohol can lead to harmful syndromes, progressing to inebriation, unconsciousness, and death. Each species has its own tolerance level (dwarves being higher than average) and each individual will consume more or less according to their need to drink. Mysterious deaths in your taverns are most likely cases of acute alcohol poisoning. Note that the lethal effects of alcohol poisoning is caused by impairing the function of a creatures lungs, making creatures that lack lungs, or the need to breath, immune to death from alcohol poisoning.

The Cone is edible and safe to consume.
Our Ice cream will be sold at our stand at the tourney ground together with all our other food and drinks.
Just look for the big Skull with glowing red eyes and sinister look.

>Due to some technical issues first batch of ice might have a little extra kick in it and the Cone might curse the consumer with the "light" flesh craving, we have sorted out most of the defects but there might be some in circulation still.

Also to add Towertech are proud sponsors of the Tourney and also responsible for delivering the trophy and winning gifts to the winner of the tourney.

I've posted a lot from this fort before. It looks pretty nice with the new diagonal walls.

So is there a description of all the contestants?

I'm not new to DF but I don't check in here at /dfg/ much

I just realized he's a troll.

I'm stupid.

>>181240898
why not start sunday, if every contestant is done? Well have more live viewers in the weekend.

>>181242680
or even saturday, had my weekdays messed up since I'm at vacation.

>>181242783
I agree, why not start Saturday?

This is a good idea, if Tourneyanon has all his preparations ready.

>>181242841
the only reason I can think of is that it takes tourneyanon time to setup the matches and narrate them, but he should just upload them as he does them, so that we won't have a quiet weekend, it doesn't matter if they come in at a slow trickle.

>the only reason I can think of is that it takes tourneyanon time to setup the matches and narrate them
And that's totally reasonable if he chooses to do it on Monday as planned, I just will be less likely to be there "live" so to speak.

Is up to him. Personally I'm busy all weekend and would like to catch it during the week.

>The vomit falls away into the underworld

when dwarves are given the choice to equip the melee weapon of their choice, will they go for the best quality of that weapon?

like they would equip a steel sword over an iron one?
