If you didn't adjust your world's volcanism and increase max regions then that may have been the only high volcanism biome available to place them. Try changing the volcanism variance to be really high.

You can't do that anymore.

>>170002620
You need to become swole

The best way is to start with high attributes and grind skills to legendary until you reach the attribute cap, for strength specially.

If that's not enough you need to alter your attributes with dfhack

>>170002620
rule #1 in adv mode: savescum all the time.

unlike fort mode, adv mode won't reward you with a bigger challenge when you fuck up. instead, the game ends abruptly.

That's what made the dorf fort unique back in the day. Gratuitous fucking violence.

>>170003276
Well, you need really high stats, best way would be to start as a demigod and put all your points into combat skills, especially strength.

Then you need to train your skills to reach the attribute cap, this can take a long time, the best skills to train, are fighting skills (wrestling, fighting, weapon skills), especially wrestling

If you reach max attributes and you still can't punch people's head off, then you have to use dfhack to modify your attributes.

Your heavily modded game and superadventurers aren't exactly a benchmark for discussion of normal gameplay. Not that there's anything wrong with it, of course, but you're barely playing the same game as "how do I punch a head off"anon, and your gameplay experience doesn't translate well into advice for people playing anywhere in the neighborhood of vanilla.

It's probably more a question of gear and skill (both yours and your @'s) than any inherent superiority goblins have. They do have better natural attributes in some fields than other races, but dwarves and elves at least have a decent balance of superior attributes as well.

Huh, this is strange.

So apparently, this coin was minted by a civ called "Mon Uzin", supposedly during a period of "no rule".

Satrangely enough, it has the symbol of a performer band on it.

Then, I looked it up in the legends, and guess what: Mon Uzin is actually the untranslated name of the performer band whose symbol was on the coin. The performer band actually minted the coin themselves.

That's fucking weird. It might require some more digging into.

Well played.

>>170010492
That's actually exactly what I was going for.

I wanted to write a story that was as immersive as possible without resorting to roleplaying. I wanted to show all the complexity in the features that the game has, without spreading possible misinfo by making up things that doesn't actually happen.

The starting point was of course as generic as can be (since adventurers don't have backstorys, and I didn't want to roleplay one). From there, however, it developed as I encountered new actors (i.e. the first night troll, the dead child, my companion and his wife, etc), each with their own stories which were given a place in the log.

The most important thing was to play the game with the naive eyes of a first time player. After learning the game, we autistically learn to see the game mechanics, rather than the exciting events which actually take place in the world. Describing the naive impression of what appears to take place in the world, but with a firm understanding of the mechanics, was pretty central.

Like I said, though, I might pick it up again soon. I might have to practice my drawing a bit beforehand though, since I may have grown too used to drawing those silly frowning characters.

k haven't touched the game since late 2015/early 2016, I know there haven't been any major updates outside of 64 bit support (yay, hopefully fps death comes much slower to my forts), but can someone give me a quick rundown on the unreleased stuff he's worked on since then?

>>170012796
Yeah, those had a similar sort of appeal as honestanon did in that sense.

I've gotten better at seeing what is going on without even thinking about the mechanics since I started scripting though, since I started to internalize my knowledge of what is going on without needing to really think of it unless asked or trying to do a specific thing with scripts/raws.

In all seriousness, why not? The game is already hyperrealistic in some aspects, why shy away from natural sexual reproduction?

You can rape elves with the broad side of your warhammer already, anyway.

>>170046358
Well it would be a better explanation than just two creatures of the opposite sex just casually happen to be next to each other and the female just pops out a kid half a second later. This also counts as marriage among animals and bloats the historical figures list because your Yak Bull has banged every cow in the pasture and is now married to every single one.

So I am using a tileset on the lazy newb pack, and in adventure mode whenever I {L}ook at my character or other characters it says something, which I am pretty sure is a description of who/what the character is, this text is like cut off at the bottom of the screen however. How do I fix this?

>>170068554

>>170069615
The ascii isn't even that abstract. And look, by playing with LNP you don't even know that you can easily change the tiles from ASCII to something else. Relying on LNP hinders your learning of how the game works.

Yeah I get what you are saying. The pack just seemed so convenient. But I do know I can pretty easily change tilesets. At least through the pack, or did you mean changing them another way? Cause yeah I was changing between the different tilesets to see if any fixed the issues. Hell I even switched to the ASCII, which is wjat made me realize that the tilesets were what was causing the weird letters im the first place.

>>170070135
That doesnt look too bad honestly. I should check to see if its doing the same thing. The problem isnt really a game breaker, but it is slightly annoying.

>>170070706
Yeah you can just change the tileset by putting the image in a folder and then changing a setting in the init.txt file.

I like CLA, but I think of it more as a graphics set for people who already know ASCII than as a tool for learning ASCII for graphics players. For most of the sprites they don't look much more like the creature they represent than a letter does at normal gameplay resolution. If you already know you're looking at a wombat then you'll recognize a brown w with a little face on it as a wombat, but if you don't then you just get the vague impression that you're looking at an animal of some sort, which is the same place you'd be with a standard ASCII tileset.

Density is an important factor for stopping blunt damage. Any metal source of edge damage will go right through it, though. Your dwarf would also need to be strong as shit or a high level armor user to get around in it at a reasonable speed.

Except you know that you're looking at an animal that begins with "w" and is small and brown, no wings and it looks friendly, hmmm, must be a wombat, while the C hunched over there with an angry look and clenched fist in a kinda brownish yellow or bronze color, well, must be a bronze colossus huh?

Some of them are hard to figure out, but most of them contain much more information than "a vaguely four legged shaped blob of grey and white with eyes and uh, a tail?" tile does.

I agree that the default size is more difficult though, it's why I did the super upscale effort a while back, 18x18 vs 36x54 is a huge difference.

>>170081948
Not disagreeing with you, but just so it's been said: you're still required to actually know all the animals and their _english_ name.
That doesn't apply to everyone.
So for some people, "a vaguely quadruped shaped thing" might contain more information than "a grey 'm' that looks like nothing I know"

>>170081948
>most of them contain much more information than...
They really don't. The first letter of the animal is the only information you get over a graphical tileset, and any ASCII tileset will give you that as well. You would have to already have a decent amount of knowledge about the games wildlife to be able to correctly guess an animal based only on its CLA sprite (I've played for years and used CLA a lot and I don't know what half the animals in that pic are), and you'll probably still be loo(k)ing at them or checking the units list to make sure anyway, and all that applies to any other graphics set.
I picked wombats deliberately, because wolverines also use a brown w as their tile, spawn in the same biomes, and both spawn singly. I don't believe that you believe many players regardless of experience or whether they're going graphics->ASCII or vice versa are going to tell them apart on sight in an ASCII set or CLA. Most players will have to check, at least while their fort is young, to confirm the identity of most creatures in most tilesets.
As I said, I like CLA. It's dishonest to pretend it's an ASCII training tool, though, at least not anymore than any straight ASCII tileset.

When embarking, it's my usual strategy to have all 7 be adequate miners, two "pure" miners, one miner/brewer, one miner/farmer, one miner/engineer/mason, one miner/woodcutter, and one miner/appraiser. While I like that strategy, I want to try something new.

Well lads, decided to start a new game because trying to fly over the ocean takes fucking forever.

Welcome to Onra Oru, The World of Forever.

>>170086937
First, dropping woodcutter and appraiser entirely is a good plan. You get appraiser for free just by looking in the trade depot, and woodcutter hardly benefits from extra skill at all, and can't even be enabled at the same time as mining. I would recommend taking smiths for a chance at good early moods, architect because it trains slow as fuck, maybe herbalist( to give you more time to establish farming industry) or cooking (because it adds a ton of early value/low effort trade goods) over brewing, which doesn't depend on skill for quality. Ideally you would do all of that and just drop some miners; it trains quickly and you'll have plenty of useless migrants to enlist in you miner corp. I like taking two military dwarves to jumpstart my militia and give my smiths a reason to exist.

I hope Toady reenables the economy soon, it was always incredible how fast forts go to shit after it takes effect. The first time it happened to me I had every dwarf in a 3x3 masterwork engraved bedroom with masterwork furniture and personal dining areas. Suddenly everyone is homeless and miserable so I build cheap tenements in clay near the surface that are filled with violence and crime. Has there been any other game where they had to disable features because they were so realistic it made the game unfun?

Playing a bit of adventure mode now.

Decided to make a dwarven writer/swordsman with the most epic and awe-inspiring name imaginable.

The option to disable it always existed in the init file, he could have kept it for people who liked it.

lmao xDDD

>>170089642
It was disabled because it was literally broken. For example, Legendary dwarves were exempt from the economy so they didn't need to get any money but their kids (who use their parents wealth) ended up deeply in debt and miserable. In order to make money all dwarves need to work but in actual play you'll only need a small number of dwarves doing work means you'll have dozens of unhappy unemployed dwarves.

I wasn't the one saying it was a traning tool, for the record, just a huge fan of it, though it can definitely be argued that it will help one acclimatize to ascii faster than any other graphics set, I still kinda get an impression of the cla tiles when I see certain creatures and I don't even have graphics on at this point.

After a while of traversing the underground kingdom of Sizzlepaper, I am ready to head out into the wilderness and die horribly to something 5x more powerful than me..

Sadly, no one in Sizzlepaper was willing to help me on my journey, so I must fight alone for the time being.

Never ever, Toady may skip the myth update and move onto the law or army update next.

Well shit, got into a fight with a horse so I can butcher it for more food, and now the poor thing is bleeding heavily, it's neck is torn open, and its leg is heavily damaged.

My dwarf is a fucking savage little git.

Not if I fug them first.

The horse was actually a stray one, it was in field with the nearest settlement being a fair few miles away, so I should be safe.

How do i get dwarfs to attend AA meetings?

>>170100580
Every animal that's a part of a civ is a stray unless it's specifically a pet. I've never seen a pet in adv mode, I'm not sure adv mode pets are even athing. In any case, that horse was a citizen and now you're a murderer. Don't tell anyone about it, and if there are any other animals around kill them too. No witnesses.

So, after a lot of running and horse slaughter, Bogo has stopped at a nearby beach to hunt for crabs and the like for their meat and bones. So far, not much has popped up.

>>170103421
Don't get me wrong, those are good sprites. I just prefer the ASCII aesthetic because it makes it easier to imagine what goes on in the game.

>reeee stop upgrading and making my secret game accessible to a wider audience

Before I attempt fortress mode is there anything I should download other than the game itself?

>>170103905
Just get a nice tileset.

>>170103905
install masterwork

That mod is beyond a joke, Modest mod or Taffer's Modest Wanderer are the only ones.

I've downloaded it before but I've heard that it's outdated and broken

Download extra fps.

30 was fun for one fort dug across 50 z levels with super multi z level fort across 12 years at max fps though the 12k stone started to slow it down a bit.

66 dwarfs and 61 livestock and still got the max fps. Think it might hurt around 150 dwarfs.

>>170105296
been playing with 150 recently and its a lagging

i just want stable fps with enough pop for some real action
