To embark or not to embark, that is the question.

Which continent do you think I should embark in?

Explaination:
>Bui came back to /vp/
>has been spamming it with furry porn every day for the past week to try and get the board deleted
>decided to spam /vg/ instead today
>created a bot to start enough threads all at once to push nearly the entire board off Page 10

>>182281593
I think the red "~" on the northern continent should be fun.

>>182281593

war with elves is pretty rare, so it would be a shame to miss out on it.

Does Toady give forewarning of a release like the week before it happens or does it just come out of the blue?

>>182282942
a bit of both. I don't recall him announcing a firm release date beforehand, but usually you can tell it's close by his devlogs, as he'll describe cleaning up a bunch of minor bugs and polishing the version up

It's sharper than a normal masterwork sword and won't break so it will sooner or later defeat steel armor. Biggest bonus from artifact is accuracy.

>>182286627
Artifact is quality 6, masterwork is 5, artifact sharpness is higher, and there is an accuracy bonus, artifact doesn't wear.

By mentioning artifact you're mentioning quality.

It's ok anon, your post was helpful anyways. But judging from what you said, a normal steel sword will probably wear itself out before getting through the armor, right?

Depends on the attacker and skill shit.

Generally they won't do shit for wear to each other with normal attacks, supergodstomphax dude using dfhacked supercrit attacks can break things easier.

Procedurally generated Usual Suspects sounds like a pretty entertaining kind of broken.

How come happiness never matters anymore?
I've never seen dorfs that weren't either "Fine" or "Quite Content".
My migrants that sleep on the floor, constantly cancel jobs from despairing due to evil weather, have no temple no tavern and no library etc etc all are just as fucking happy as my better forts. Even the guy whose baby died and rotted away was still Fine.
Never a tantrum ever.

Apparently the satisfaction from improving 12 different combat skills outweighs all that by far.

How much does alcohol improve mood, anyway? "Ecstatic" implies it's quite a lot. Does it wear off after the alcohol effects do, or does it last like any positive thought?

>>182300694
Do they have booze? Drinking makes dwarves constantly happy.

Even if you make them drink water, dwarves are just more emotionally stable now than they were before the feels rewrite. They're still annoyed if they have to sleep on the floor, and if you keep piling dead babies on them they'll eventually snap, but tantrum spirals are a lot less common.

You can choose the wood for every order you stick in, run production orders through that workshop that specify the wood, or set a stockpile that only takes featherwood to give to the workshop (so the workshop will only take from that pile)

I think it's not so much that he's lazy as that he thinks he's not allowed to trade now. I'd try toggling the "trader requested at depot" option to see if that creates a fresh "trade at depot" job for him to take. If nothing else works, you can always try sending someone else to trade by toggling "only broker can trade" to "anyone may trade".

>>182313987

All right so what you're gonna want to do is lure them to the same square, maybe a volcano, get some mood lighting, a few corpses, maybe a really fucking big waterbed (just trust me). After that just wait a bit and nature will take its course.

I'm >>182317183 and I'm actually serious, you can test it yourself. The larger a kingdom's population is, the greater the change that the citizens will have more diverse physical features. You can test this by creating an adventurer and repeatedly clicking randomize (within cultural parameters). You will see a difference as adventurers from smaller kingdoms will all look the same while ones from more populous nations will have a greater variety to their looks.

>>182317950
I understand, but in my game there's only one tiny dwarf civ and it's minimum history generation.
I guess what happened is instead of setting a single skin color for the dorfs and randomizing hair and eye color like it usually does, it did the opposite, since everyone has the same eye and hair color.

>>182318241

probably bards who visited the goblins.

goblin bards visit non goblin sites and vice versa, and in worldgen or off-site, this works perfectly fine. however, when the actual map gets loaded in game, the goblins' [ETHIC:KILL_NEUTRAL:REQUIRED] gets called into play, meaning that all goblins instantly chimp out on people who aren't members of their entity.

if you want to erect t in some noble's room to increase the room value, then yeah, why not.

it won't be very effective as an actual defense, though.

>>182382104

That's a meme.

Truth is there's only a small group of coders that are skilled enough to really work on the core of the game. Everyone else mods items, and sometimes those get folded in mainline, but usually they're in mods.

>>182384093
It's not a meme, it's true, and also, that small group of coders can't agree on anything and are always arguing with eachother, which makes development even slower.

There's also the dumb focus on "realism", I don't mind realism as long as it adds good things to the game but there are some real shit features, like filthy clothing, that should be removed.

>>182384093
>Everyone else mods items
is that why the game has like ten different kinds of fedoras and vape cigs, and you encounter zombies in anime costumes?

>>182384541
>filthy clothing, that should be removed

Filthy clothing was tried, and was removed to a mod. The consensus was that while it's more realistic for zombie clothes to be filthy and generate negative morale until you clean them, the implementation was tedious and unfun, and it's been taken out of core until someone figures out how to not make it a pain in the ass.

The devs attitude has always been that realism is a nice goal, but only so long as it it doesn't create gameplay that dull, clunky, or monotonous.

>>182384895

Yeah, pretty much. They generally feel that an apocalyptic game needs a lot of items, because otherwise it doesn't feel like our modern world. So generally when somebody makes a group of items that are interesting, fit the theme, and won't break anything, the devs will accept it.
It's really not a problem, unless you falsely believe that the people who make all these items could be fixing bugs in the engine instead, which I doubt.
Plus bugfixing happens constantly. A long-standing bug with removing armor that's hit me on several occasions was just fixed recently -- I'm pretty happy about that.

>>182386036
>The devs attitude has always been that realism is a nice goal, but only so long as it it doesn't create gameplay that dull, clunky, or monotonous
Well they're not doing a very good job at that.

>>182386036
My problem with it is that an unproportional part of the content in DDA has to do with neckbeard culture, memes and anime. No matter how you look at it, it simply isn't representative of "our modern world".

It's only a matter of time before they add even cringier stuff, like "flag of kekistan", or "kek figurine".

>>182386567

>>182387103
>implying the queen isn't a badass half ninja half night elf ronin technomage

...yeeeugghh, that was almost painfully cringey to write.

>>182387103
We don't know but since Cataclysm is set in the future the numbers can be different than those in real life, and since a lot of those katanas are actually replicas made of aluminum, and the real katanas made of steel are found in places where it would make sense for them to be there, like pawn shops and mansions, I'm perfectly fine with it.

>>182386567
>unproportional part

I'm not seeing it.

>>182387103

A lot more than you'd think. It ain't just nerds that buy swords to hang on their wall.

Also note that the katanas in the game are largely replicas rather than the real thing.
