I am genrating my first world. First time picking up DF! A little excited I must say.

Should I wait for for the 250 history years to finish? it is taking a while. At 167 now.

You don't have to. Having never played before, you're not going to notice the difference between a 150 year old world and a 250 year old world. And that difference won't be huge in most worlds anyway.

Your in for a treat anon
The longer you wait the more civilizations there are and i doubt you will be fucking around in legends mode (reading the history of your world, procedurally generated) so it doesnt really matter

How do I name stuff in the arena like tourney anon was doing? they all show up as a variant of 'Elf 1', 'Human 12' etc.

>The longer you wait the more civilizations there are
That's wrong. Civs are placed at the start of worldgen, and there will never be any more civs in a world than the ones placed initially.

>>160607898
It does it automatically for every creature spawn.

>>160608196
For you.

>>160608469
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I'm talking about naming 'Elf 1' into a custom name in arena mode, like tourney anon was doing to the gladiators. In the combat logs, we see 'Coldsteel', not 'Hedgehog man 1'.

>>160608351
Can they die out though?

>>160606551
Elfs can't melt adamantine beams

>>160608798
He made a copy of each combatant as a separate creature in the RAW files.
So we had Coldsteel 1, Basket 1 etc.

>>160608798
Oh, sorry. I thought you meant the appended numbers.
He created custom creature raws for all the tourney combatants that were copies of their race, except renaming the race with the gladiator's name.

>>160608882
Yes.

4 or 5 maybe? We have 9dots, timbukdrew, >>160609430 that one and >>160610308 that one (apologies, if you guys have names I missed it).

There was another one who did some very realistic character drawings over a couple of weeks, but I haven't seen anything from him since. There was another one who started posting around the same time, but I think he might be the same drawfag from the second one I linked.

>>160611052

This guy got named frown-anon.
>>160609430

>>160610879
They can have 1 pole, 2 poles or no pole. You can choose if you use advanced worldgen.

>>160611052
Cool, Ninedots is the one who did the gladiator intros that are found on the doc right? Whats an example of timbukdrew's?

Can buzzards carry dwarves? My planter was dragging something to the pasture and suddenly he found himself on the top of the building.

There are no stairs or any way to get up there, and now the buzzards won't let me finish building the ramp.

>>160611720
I want a drawfag to draw this scene.

>>160611532
Yes, those were 9dots.

>>160380624 is an example of timbukdrew's work. He does a lot of slice-of-life drawings of dwarves, and has been drawfagging here for longer than anyone. There's a lot of his stuff floating around. I would post some if I were at home, but alas.

>>160612142
Cute, thanks m8.

>>160611720
No. Carrying creatures isn't a thing that can happen. Dwarves can climb though, and one of the few ways to motivate them to do so is seeing something they want to punch or run away from. Wild buzzards being food thieves makes dwarves automatically hostile to them and enter a conflict state on sight. That's probably why he's up there.

>>160610614
You can level up your knife user skill in adventure mode even without investing any points into it at the start. Just find a knife and start practicing on wildlife.

>>160611532
9dots is active in the brony forums too. I think that when he discovered us he started liking us more than the bronies, he muttered his first words here and he does some ninja super fast autistic drawings on /r/equest which is super cool.

>>160609910
I think if you start as an outsider you can put points into knife user at chargen?

Otherwise just take a knife and go stab some wildlife, you'll train up pretty fast.

I ran the test with the elfs and dwarfs again, this time everyone is at grand master and much more realistic results
Either side won the 10v10 but it seemed to slightly favor the elfs
In the 1v1 something werid happened. The elfs and dwarfs simply incapacitated eachother and could not fight any longer, but only one died. It was a complete stalemate.

>>160614732

You guys do realise that we were never supposed to eat sentients in the first place, do you? You couldn't in the older versions(0.34 and backwards). Being able to eat them was caused by a bug introduced in 0.40, which has now been fixed.

>>160615085
What pisses me of is the fact that you cant carve the bones of a sentient anymore, yet in fortress mode i find sentient bone jewelry on migrants/visitors all the time.

>>160615085
>>160615215
It's not that you're explicitly disallowed by the game, just that adv mode chars are restricted to the default ethics of their home civs, which don't even see the remains of sentients as food (except in some cases with elves, but those events only happen in worldgen). It's always been like that except for a brief period in .40 when Toady changed it without realizing, and then changed it back without realizing it in .42. He didn't even know that it had been changed (or apparently even that there was such a restriction) until someone asked him about it in a FotF. There probably won't be any intentional action on the subject until the crime and punishment arc codifies such actions in the context of the rest of the law framework.

World-Fortress Megaproject:
This project begins in finding a suitable world and embark site.
There are four major desired features for your embark site, Terrifying Sea (Reanimating), Joyous Wilds Sea, Tree access, and an infinite source of Magma.

The actual project:
Divide the two seas with your fort. Acceptable means of making this include pumping the oceans away from eachother in large enough volume to build walls from the ground up, and obsidian casting.
Additionally finding a way to construct it from the bottom up without clearing all the overhead water first is acceptable.

All tombs are placed on the reanimating side of your ocean bisecting fort.
You must bring magma into your fort to support a glass industry so you can construct an aquarium for each unique type of sea creature you see -- fill them.

The final tricks will be
A: animating all Joyous Wilds Seacreatures in containment.
B: creating 'science' chambers where you can demonstrate to visiting nations the interesting reactions that occur when you mix evil and good seas, evil water and magma, good water and magma, and don't forget to introduce the elf ambassadors to your Giant Sperm Whale Thrall

The annoying thing is that it forces you.
It's great to have more facets of the dwarven (or whatever) personality come to the foreground, but there should always be the choice.
As it currently stands, a creature could have every antisocial and psychopathic trait under the sun and still blanch at the idea of eating sentient meat.

I mean, even plump helmet man meat.

Ideally you'd run the risk of a mental breakdown or something, or being outcast by fellow civ members, if you chose to eat sentient meat. But you'd still (as a player) be able to.

Of course when you have a contest between unarmed opponents, Elves will always win since the only defensive skill is dodging. Elves have higher average agility, and dwarves have lower than average. Same goes for goblins

In a situation with weapons and armour, dwarves would not have to rely on their shitty agility for defence. Dwarves have superior toughness, so in a situation with armour and weapons, an elf or goblin would have trouble doing substantial damage.

I meant search the df/raw/objects/language_RACE.txt files, subtract six since it has six extra lines at the top.

So words listed as 1906 in the entities.all[k].name.words part will be 1912 in the txt file.

The second bit is the name.parts_of_speech field, which changes things like plural, past tense, etc. Much more trial and error there.

>Been working through various cases of fading information now that we have loads of data being generated for artifact locations as they move about the world, especially locally. There are six levels of knowing the location of a held artifact as it stands: having it yourself, seeing somebody else holding it at a location with your own eyes, hearing from somebody that somebody was holding it at a location recently, hearing from somebody that somebody has it (but not where), generally knowing in some legendsy fashion that it is said to be held by somebody, and not having any idea. The knowledge fades over a course of weeks and years while maintaining longer-term reputation effects, and it also has to constantly work in any new information and so forth according to their time stamps (at the individual, site gov, site culture and civ levels). But it seems to be working so far! It's very fiddly, but this should take us a long way as artifacts get more interesting (during the magic and economic releases, etc).

>Has nothing to do with ethics
It has SOMETHING to do with ethics. The only mechanics in the game that differentiate one kind of butchering product from another are material value and ethics. Perhaps there's a default a default ethic applied to adventurers regardless of any civ affiliation. If it were the dwarf ethic it would also explain the restriction on crafting with their bones.

It should be possible to drop the raw folder into a 43.05 install.

>>160633565
I tested this extensively, I literally grabbed wild animals with dfhack and tried to eat sapients.

If a corpse has item.flags1.dead_dwarf=true you can't eat it, regardless of your ethics.

You can take control of a dwarf with vanilla ethics, kill your best friend or parent, toggle this flag off, and eat them in front of your family.

>>160635207
Okay, so that's likely to be the flag that is checked to determine whether a butchering product is "kosher" or not. It doesn't suggest that ethics aren't what's in play here. Ethics and the need for adventurers to eat and drink (and, consequently, the restriction on eating intelligent creatures) were introduced at the same time in .28, it wouldn't be surprising in the least if that included the assignment of a default ethic to adventurers. It's the only known mechanic in the game that causes creatures to discriminate between dumb meat and smart meat. That item flag appears to be how they discriminate.

Like I said, you can literally take control of a wild animal, have none of the civ related stuff, and still can't eat a sapient. Having ethics which can and do eat sapients like gobs and elves doesn't allow it, outsiders can't, a wild monitor lizard can't.

>>160639837
Toady is building a mythological world simulation first and foremost

The fact that you can play it is ancillary at best.

In other words, he doesn't add things in respect to gameplay for the most part, he mostly is just trying to get things to be more realistic. People crying is more realistic, so he has that even though it's broken, and will fix it later.

>>160640314
I mean I get that, but I still would like to see some options for character development, even if they don't directly impact my stats. Like, it'd be nice to talk about my trauma after seeing my companion die and have the person I'm talking to cause me to stop crying with some consoling words. There is even a "consoler" skill if I recall correctly.

You can pull up the same screens but ethics are tied into the raws section via entity links, they show up in entities as well, which show up there with the civ_id and such.

Okay, then why ought you be able to see ethics on a creature with no civ when you can't see them on a creature that does have one? If a default ethic assignment were taking place and applied to outsiders as well as civilized creatures then there's no reason any civless creatures would be excluded from that.
I take it civ_id -1 indicates lack of a civ? And it applies to outsiders as well?

>>160640592
I agree with you. I wish all of Toady's autism had gone into making a really great game, and not a fair-to-middling fantasy simulator. But hey, it's still pretty cool, and I bet all the stuff you mentioned in your post isn't very far away relatively speaking

Generally yeah, but like I said, even with ethics set to allow or even require cannibalism, it can't be done, bug went the other way from "you can just eat your friends and family" to "goblins can't even eat people" when they should be able to.

Alright /dfg/ I'm doing my first Mega-Project! at least its a Mega-Project for me, i havent been playing for long. im going to dig out and "domesticate" the caverns. im gonna kick those dirty cave dwellers out and make it a place fit for dwarven habitation. wish me luck

so i should trump it? like only have one entrance and exit to the main fort? is there any way to make the creatures not spawn anymore?

>>160644962
IIRC it was just 40.24.
In any case, I don't know that it was/is a bug. It never showed up in changelog, and the only time I've seen Toady mention it he was pretty ambiguous about the intended behavior, and whether the restrictions had ever been intentionally coded or not. We know that as soon ethics were a thing any creature the player controlled seemed to be following the dwarves' ethics regarding the use of sapient butchering products (in most cases, at least), and then they weren't and then they were again. And we don't know if Toady's agency was ever involved in any of it.

>>160649530
I remember eating people as a dorf adventurer in like 40.13 or so.

>Been working through various cases of fading information now that we have loads of data being generated for artifact locations as they move about the world, especially locally. There are six levels of knowing the location of a held artifact as it stands: having it yourself, seeing somebody else holding it at a location with your own eyes, hearing from somebody that somebody was holding it at a location recently, hearing from somebody that somebody has it (but not where), generally knowing in some legendsy fashion that it is said to be held by somebody, and not having any idea. The knowledge fades over a course of weeks and years while maintaining longer-term reputation effects, and it also has to constantly work in any new information and so forth according to their time stamps (at the individual, site gov, site culture and civ levels). But it seems to be working so far! It's very fiddly, but this should take us a long way as artifacts get more interesting (during the magic and economic releases, etc).

The tension is high and the air is thick with bloodlust. It is time to commence the final round of the tournament. You've all been patient and now I am here to delver with as much detail as possible.

We've come a long way, from an idea to a full tournament, a lot has been done and I still can't thank you guys enough for it. We've seen some upsets and we've seen some underdog clutches. We've seen fighters lose their heads and fights that finished in seconds.

Now, however, we are going to see the 15 (including Limbuk) fighters return for just one more fight. The winner of this match will be given the choice to fight the upcoming champion in an all or nothing fight for a second chance at being crowned the champion; or they may leave the arena with their life and the title of King of the Battle Royale.

Definitely! Once you learn the basics of the game, and can simple wall dwarves off underground and have them survive forever off of self sustained food and booze production, that where most people tend to ask "what now? ive beaten the game, i cant think of anything else to do". Gotta be creative son, gotta have projects and ideas, that's 90% of the game, having imagination.

My current project is carving out a huge cube of stone hanging over a lava pool, I plan to make it self sustainable habitat, smack some dwarves with supplies inside, then cut it off from the ceiling so it goes full submarine inside the lava. Has to be carved out of natural rock ofc, not constructed, else its gonna deconstruct when it falls.
Now just to make sure it doesnt have any "leaks"...

I think I need to reconsider what I know about how body parts work

Ok guys, we have talked a lot about the new update, but I dont see many of you realizing what a big fucking addition this is to both modes (yeah, specially adv. mode), in terms of changing the gameplay forever
Now artifacts are a valuable and important thing to have, and the more you have, in any mode, the more danger you set yourself too
I can see a new and exciting way of playing fort mode, that would be to seize each artifact of the world, with npc parties, and try to last as long as you can the constant invasions of each race

>>160663125
wait, wouldnt the roof of the cube fall to the ground when you let it fall, killing everybody?

>>160663779
It shouldn't collapse, considering it will be made out of natural stone...
Still, guess I will find out the hard way, heh.
I do plan to have every section zoned off with floor hatches resistant to magma, so if just the top floor caves-in, it will be fine.

Building it based on this technology

Apart from that, I think this new update is rad as fuck, and not only it doubles the ammount of things you can do in adv. mode (or more) , but it also makes npcs more different and helpful
I can see how in the short future you might be able to bribe a kid with a toy or food to tell you where someone is, all depending on the value of the gift, his effort to occult info from you, and your personality/abilities

To accommodate the number of participants in the battle royale, the fight will not take place in the arena but, rather the neighboring pyramid.

The fighters file in one by one to designated spots of the "arena", all have faced another person in this fight at least once except for three; Mandingo, who was almost instantly beheaded by Coldsteel in fight 1E; Basket, who was pummeled to death by Sten in fight 1B; And Limbuk, who was supposed to compete against Sten in the first round of the tourney but, couldn't because of an entry error. He is being given one last chance to compete for his quest.

The lucky drawer for the center spot is Othmar. From the north position clock-wise the participants are; Joseph, SAF, DEXSTR, Riviere, TJD, Leonardo, Entrails, Limbuk, Esquies, Basket, Mandingo, Richie, TNM, and TPM.

The fighters start sizing each other up, most giving mean glares and a few inquisitive looks. Richie and TNM are surprised to see each other face to face, again in a fight to the death, and side by side no less. Othmar is giving nervous glances all around but, his target seems to be Smelly Ant Feet, the queen who bested him. The only person not seeming to not be engaged in anything is TPM, whom no one can really tell what he is thinking or seeing.

Once the last fighter had settled in his spot the exit was sealed in a flash of smoke and then...

**ding**

Almost instantly the fighters engage. Basket takes a swing at Esquies, which misses. She strikes again with her sword pommel and Esquies responds with a swing to the head, Basket is now paralyzed in the opening seconds. Esquies then furiously slashes the little gremlin to death... (cont.)

>>160663779
>>160663886
It will, yeah. Falling walls don't give a shit about being connected. They move downward until they hit an obstacle.
What you gotta do instead is drop down the mountain surrounding the habitation cube. It'll displace the magma, which will pool over your dwarf habitat, submerging it.

At around the same time a fight between Limbuk, Entrails, and Leonardo is raging. Leonardo struck at Entrails and was met with two furious swing to the shell and head, Limbuk joins in by slashing at Entrails but, soon finds himself helping his foe in eliminating Leonardo. Two hits to the legs and Leonardo collapses. Entrails swings low at Leonardo's head and bats it across the arena over to Esquies' corner where he has just finished eliminating Basket.

Meanwhile in the north west corner. TPM flips his sword up and slashes at TNM who dodges then darts for the south east towards another fight, giving one last look at Richie. Richie looks back but, the moment is cut short by the crazed screams of Mandingo who slashes again and again at the kobold, missing every time. Richie slashes Mandingo's arm then tackles him. A ripping slash to the stomach tears Mandingo up good but, a good stab to the leg sends the dark gnome down and in pain. Richie then eliminates Mandingo with a stab to the brain before he runs to engage Esquies.

To the east, Riviere has taken advantage of the confusion and has already lopped off several of TJD's appendages. TJD strikes back but, to little avail. Riviere rips the poor spider apart and finishes him off with a blow to the lower half that leaves it split open. He turns his attention to DEXSTR who is sprinting towards SAF.

Othmar makes a beeline for his quarry, the queen, but his shot is blocked. SAF pushes through to join the fight just behind him. DEXSTR catches up but, soon finds himself on the receiving end of Othmar's axe and the two clash...(cont.)

The southern skirmish has now grown to include 4 fighters and grows every second. Entrails turns on Limbuk as soon as Leonardo is dead and the Nude Menace sprints in taking a swing at Limbuk but, misses. Entrails stabs Limbuk's sword arm, breaking it. From his blindside Limbuk manages to block a swing from Riviere who saw the opportunity for an attack. He follows up with a slash that nearly cleaves the elkman in half, eliminating him and stealing Entrails of his kill. Entrails lunges for Riviere, a rematch to the death.

Entrails, the rage fueled machine that he is, decimates Riviere. He slices off Riviere's foot sennding him crashing down. Riviere strikes at Entrails and is met with a slash to the sword arm that nearly takes it off. Entrails stabs downward towards Riviere who blocks it with his arm and loses it in the process. Another stab runs Riviere through. Entrails then delivers a blow similar to the one Limbuk recieved and Riviere is ended in the same manner, eliminating him.

Esquies, distracted by the skittering head of Leonardo barely has time to react to Richie's attack. He jumps away and charges at Richie who dodges likewise. Their fight seems to be on even ground though, Esquies slowly gaining the upper hand. A fatal error in Richie's movements costs him is arm and he is sent reeling back. Esquies charges, this time knocking over the kobold. Richie struggles to his feet and Esquies disembowels him as he stands. Richie refuses to fall. Another slash and he loses his hand, he still stands tall. A final stab to the upper body and Richie finally collapses to the ground, eliminated. Esquies rushes off to the main fight.

(cont.)...Othmar, just beginning his fight with DEXSTR has missed every swing. DEXSTR slashes his axe arm, immobilizing it. Othmar rages and charges at his opponent, tackling him. A solid smash to the leg with his buckler does quick work of the kobold's main speed advantage.

TPM and Joseph who had lost all other competitors next to them in the opening seconds decide to fight each other instead. Joseph charges forward but, TPM's skill is just too good for the elephant man. A few quick slashes and Joseph is on the ground. TPM runs off for the south but, Joseph is not dead and crawls after him.

The main fight in the middle now includes every living competitor in the Battle Royale

Othmar now standing over DEXSTR raises to strike with his buckler but, the kobold scrambles across the floor. A swing from his axe catches Othmar's other arm, disarming him completely. Othmar kicks his left hand into a pulp but, soon finds an axe in his leg and he collapses to the ground. Now at the same level DEXSTR hacks twice more, removing his opponent's left hand and rendering him unconscious. DEXSTR then places a choke hold on Othmar and begins strangling him. Othmar turns blue then eventually quits twitching, eliminated.

The melee has become a brawl and it is hard to tell exactly what is happening. There are fists swinging and sword clashing but, it is hard to tell who hits who in this fight.

Joseph takes a hit to the skull from TPM after taking a beating from every other competitor. Entrails, despite showing ferocity earlier on is soon overpowered by the other competitors. He manages to get a lucky stike on SAF but, she dislocates his knee sending him to the floor. SAF then takes her time, she bites his foot and begins shaking him about, punching him for good measure that paralyzes him. DEXSTR, crawls over to the immobile Entrails and decapitates the warrior, eliminating him and putting him out of his misery...(cont.)

TNM sprinted about the opening seconds of the melee, dodging every hit. A hit from Entrails during those opening seconds removed her leg and she was forgotten about. Still in the fight she continues swinging with her short sword. TPM eventually makes his way over to her and slashes her to death.

The fight was now down to Esquies, TPM, SAF, and DEXSTR.

TPM engages SAF after dealing with TNM only to find that the queen is quite capable. She delivers a flurry of blows that destroy the mushroom, while this is happening Esquies has begun swinging away at the grounded DEXSTR. Esquies is tired, the fight is taking its toll on his body. He collapses to the ground yet, he continues swinging at DEXSTR.

SAF having finished off and eliminated TPM begins a slow march for Esquies and DEXSTR. Esquies, releases a joint lock on the badly bruised and bloody kobold to face SAF. DEXSTR bleeds out, eliminated.

SAF charges for the elf and begins pummeling him. In a display similar to her first match against Othmar the queen positions herself ontop of her opponent and begins mashing them into the floor with her shields by first removing their helmet.

The beating is savage and quick. The elf eventually stops twitching. The arena is silent and so is the crowd. SAF looks up and releases a mighty screech that pierces everyone's ears. Once she is done the crowd erupts in cheers that shook the arena. Quite a spectacle.

Congratulations Smelly Ant Feet, you are the King...I mean...the Queen of the Battle Royale.

Will she fight the champion as is, or will she get as many points as she would have if she were to get that far?

>>160665159
Ah.. Sorry I missed a thread. Keep up the good work.

>>160664905
I'd say DEXSTR proved his viability.

>>160665185
The latter option. So the initial build + 510.

>>160665185
Yeah, you could say that. The combat logs took up over half of my time, the other half was typing up the fight.

Goddamn, Entrails was such a baller. Rest easy struggler ;-;

What difference does world age and size make in fortress mode?

I've never really gotten into fortress because I always play adventurer.

Basket: 0 kills, bled to death after being stabbed by Esquies
Mandingo: 0 kills, stabbed in the head by Richie
TJD: 0 kills, hacked to death by Riviere
Leonardo: 0 kills, beheaded by Entrails with some help from Lembuk
Lembuk: 0 kills, slashed by Riviere after being wounded by Entrails
Riviere: 2 kills, TJD and Lembuk. Cloven in two by Entrails.
Richie: 1 kill, Mandingo. Sliced up by Esquies.
Othmar: 0 kills, choked after a tough fight by DEXSTR
Joseph: 0 kills, repeatedly stabbed in the head by Entrails and TPM, the latter dealing the final blow
Entrails: 2 kills, Leonardo and Riviere. Beheaded by DEXSTR after being heavily wounded by SAF
TNM: 0 kills, bled to death after being run through by TPM
TPM: 2 kills, Joseph and TNM. finally crushed to death by SAF after being attacked by nearly everyone
DEXSTR: 2 kills, Othmar and Entrails. Beaten to death by the bare hands of Esquies
Esquies: 3 kills, Basket, Richie and DEXSTR. Head crushed by SAF

SAF: 2 kills, TPM and Esquies. Survived a lot of attacks with her bucklers.
Notable wounds include: Stabbed in the thorax by Entrails.
Notable strikes: Beating the shit out of Entrails and leaving him to die. Destroying TPM with such heavy strikes that they tore him apart, and cleverly removing Esquies helm in order to punch his head into a red mist.

>>160666127
The size and age make the surroundings of the fort different, different amount of civs, towers etc. Though really the size doesn't matter that much, as only the surrounding area, not the whole world, interacts with your fort.

>>160667050
>>160664836

This signature helmet removal by SAF at the end.
She has her style.

>>160667329
I love how she just punched my mushroom's hand off. Seems that plump helmet man tissue isn't the strongest stuff.

>Limbuk manages to block a swing from Riviere who saw the opportunity for an attack. He follows up with a slash that nearly cleaves the elkman in half, eliminating him and stealing Entrails of his kill.

Well guys, the wait is over.
Lembuk has perished, and his quest for reproduction is over, as well as this now tragic story


>Morbana looks in surprise as Riviere slashes Lembuk from one side of his chest to another, kiling him
>''But...I really though he would win'', she muttered silently

Im sorry Morbana, sometimes storytelling cant win against the RNG, its something we cannot control

Let's hope that, wherever he is, may Lembuk rest in peace

>>160667050
You fought hard, Othmar. Rest easy.

>>160668397
Yeah, she totally deserves this victory. I don't think she stands a chance against Coldsteel or Sten though. And not only because they don't have helmets.

If you throw in relics and heirlooms, and books, which actually count as artifacts, you have a lot more

Is there any benefit to dusl wielding in adventure mode

>>160671838
Except that it happened. Maybe this was just a 0.40.x thing.

>>160672590
You can hold two weapons

>>160672590
unless you wield shields, no

>>160671043
vinesauce joel does some entertaining ones, but he plays like a retard, so that might trigger you.
He'll make a new series when the update comes, which should be around NEVER EVER.

>>160672590
You can use both weapons if you do multi attacks using 'z' in the attack menu.

>>160673050
yeah, can somebody tell me what does multi atacks do?
You spend the same time doing that that if you atack someone twice, right?

>>160671043
Go for an illustrated one.
Matul Remrit.

>>160673447
You hit them with both weapons at the same time, for twice the damage.

>>160673656
what's the drawback?
Seems like something you should be doing everytime, right?
How many simultaneous atacks can you do?

>>160672590
Eh. It can be useful to have two different kinds of weapons, like a spear and a hammer, for obvious reasons. Having two weapons also allows you to keep swinging after you embed, but since I a doesn't actually take time there's not much point.

Though, really, don't worry about viability in adventure mode. If you survive the opening grind, by the time you're up to master+ in your weapons skill you're more or less invincible. Just do whatever you think would be cool/pleases your autism

>>160673842
There's a speed or to-hit penalty, I believe. Weapons like whips have an even greater penalty.

>>160670347
Are you fucking stupid? We were talking about how it's impossible to decorate weapons and Armour or select specific items in fortress mode.

>>160674271
You can decorate weapons and armor. The only things you can't decorate them with are gems, leather and cloth. You can stud them with metal and decorate them with bone as much as you want.

>>160674108
oh, like, you make various atacks, so none of them is as acurate as they should be separatedly?
That makes sense

>>160674573
>locking items in a room with the workshop is working as intended

>>160674661
Yes. The decorator paths to closest valid item for decorating, and if that happens to be locked in a room with them then it's working as intended. Stockpile links are also working as intended, and easier.

>>160674880
ayyyy

>>160674880
But can you tell craftdwarf to "Decorate nearest UNDECORATED item"?
So I dont end up with 200 layers of decoration on one item just because it was closest one.

>>160675329
Yes, with stockpile links. Give the shop decorating an output stockpile that it doesn't accept from.

>>160677093
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but yes, that's it exactly. If you really want to industrialize the decoration process you can have that output stockpile give to a craftsdwarf shop decorating with bones, which outputs to another pile giving to a forge studding with gold, etc. Or if you'd rather keep it compact and still add multiple specific decorations to each item, you can just flip the give/take on the stockpiles when you're ready to decorate with a different gem or bone or whatever. It's a micromanagey way to pimp your stuff, but it's less micromanagey than going through a long list to pick each decoration target every time would be. I do hope that option is added, but if/when it is I'll still do it the way I already do in most cases.

Now we have come to the grand finale. A lot of blood has been spilled this past week and now it must finally draw to a close. I present to you now.

The Final Match: Sten vs Coldsteel

Both fighters have been waiting and now they make their way to the ring. Sten the minotaur has come a long way hacking every opponent to pieces and leaving them bloody smears on the arena floor. It is clear who everyone thinks is going to win in this match. Coldsteel on the other hand, despite the odds has managed to come to the very end without breaking so much as a sweat; Using superior techniques and swordsmanship, his previous fights ended fairly quickly. Now we see them here in the arena one last time. Sten stands ready, axe in hand, and spit dropping to the floor. He looks up at the purple and hedgehog and bellows, "MEAT FOR THE MAW!"
Coldsteel unsheathes his new adamantine longsword and, says "This time it's personnel."

The audience is on the edge of their seat, anxious for the fight to begin and then...

**ding**

>>160677931
Sorry if I sounded sarcastic, wasnt planing too. I meant the genius part in sincere way, as I never figured out I can do that, hell didn't even bother trying too.

So far only had problems using LINKs. Recent example was me having a stone stockpile linked to craftdwarfs one to produce rock pots because otherwise they would haul the stones themselves instead of using the nearby stockpile. This cause problem later (many ingame years later) when I tried to assemble books, as I completely forgot I had that workshop linked to a stockpile (didnt say on it), so I had to fiddle around for 10min trying to figure out how to produce books.

The fighters launch for the middle and Sten swings first, though it is easily batted away by Coldsteel. Coldsteel swings his blade and Sten dodges.

An axe swing comes fast at Coldsteel and he dodges but, before he can counterattack Sten has already reversed his swing; A move that we've seen in some of his previous battles, shortening them significantly. The axe lands home and the sickening sound of metal to flesh fills the arena as the blade sinks deep into Coldsteels chest. He coughs up some blood and curls into a ball on the floor, bleeding.

Despite his wounds, Coldsteel will not give quite so easily. Sten prods at the bloody pincussion first with a punch and a kick before he returns with his axe, each axe swing however is met with an arm clenching a longsword, deflecting it. A lucky axe blow makes it past this defence and lands into Coldsteel's back but, his arm is still at the ready. Two more swing and two more deflections. Another blow to the back and Coldsteel's arm drops but, he is still breathing. The little purple ball on the ground is then hacked at savagely by Sten. The battle is called after it has become quite clear that Coldsteel is not getting back up, nothing can survive that much lost blood.

Sten takes a step back to look at his handiwork, he looks pleased. He beats his chest and bellows in his signature victory celebration. The crowd responds with a mixed reaction of cheers and boos.

Congratulations Sten, you climbed the ladder and hacked it to pieces; You are the Champion of the Arena.

I knew this last match would be an upset for a lot but, what're you gonna do with RNG.

Well, that concludes the first ever /dfg/ Tournament. I will keep the google account open for a little while longer just in case SAF's manager responds to accept the offer to challenge Sten but, after a day or two I will be deleting the account and email. That's why I haven't been updating the art tab. I do have everything saved for the future and I have all the art compiled (along with all the battle logs, character overviews, and fights.) and will be trying to find a place to put it all.

If any anons wants to make a copy of the tournament rules/docs. I would do so now before it gets deleted. Especially if you want to help balance for the next tourney.

Thank you for being a great crowd and a great community. Stay classy /dfg/.
