DF Math!
« on: December 27, 2014, 10:09:38 pm »
I'm really curious to see the math that controls Dwarf Fortress. Does anybody know the formulas for, say, fall damage? Or weapon swinging? Or anything else like leveling up?

Unfortunately, the formulas which determinate the hit chances have not been discovered yet.

You can go bug Urist Da Vinci to make him discover it.

I'm sure he'll get around to it eventually. From the looks of it, he's already working on it.
