The fact that the only squad leader awake enough to defend the exit about five minutes in was that particular squad leader was sheer coincidence. Good thing I forgot to floor that hole over.



Here's the second half of the fight. Tip: Angry clowns have a hard time setting you on fire when you're not wearing anything flammable.

I award my dwarves bonus points for that drama moment near the end. Most of the video can be skipped after the initial battle, though.

Nice, for a moment I thought that demons name was Rose, also lol on the Uranium WarHammer.

That's a cool idea but the videos are just about unwatchable.
They stay paused for what feels like half an hour at a time, so I crank up the speed to try to skip past it, only to miss the split second of actual movement before it goes back into staring at the same paused moment for ages.
I'm guessing that's because the video plays back at a uniform framerate, but your FPS is higher when the game's paused (500ish as opposed to 20ish when unpaused), so more frames of paused-ness are recorded into the video during the same amounts of realtime recording. Cap your FPS in your init file.

Yeah, I thought so too. I heard there was a DF video editor lying around, maybe I'll see if I can redo those videos with it.

When recording videos, always set your Maximum FPS to 100. In fact, you should really never configure your max FPS higher than your actual maximum (unpaused) framerate, since all it does is consume extra CPU when you pause the game.

I expect tentacle or toad clowns would have been bear food. !!Clowns!! are just downright deadly.

I normally expected it to be one heck of a machine designed to mangle the clowns. However, now seeing that. This came to mind:

I suppose you could mod the game to make bears able to act as mounts like horses?

[Ziusudra]

Yes, but only invaders ride mounts for now.
