Clowns

I doubt it...but anyone run into the clowns yet? It just that honestly preping for the fight with the these, and the resulting chaos was one of the best times I had playing 40d, so I'm wondering how much they have been changed.

Or, wiping out Orc forts. It's harder than it sounds. And it sounds pretty hard.

Someone did. He went exploratory mining. And bottom fifty z-levels were full of tortured souls. Some upper bodies missing. And yes. FIFTY.

Basically just from 'dangerous' to 'insanely deadly'. Instead of small chamber, theres whole underworld STUFFED with them.

I've seen map images of the new HFS areas (or at least, what Blacken discovered of them) and their entrances look like. It's goddamn amazing.

The day when someone legitimately cleanses the entire Underworld of Evil will be a proud one for all of dwarfkind. I have little faith in such a day ever coming.

I've found some of them. It's not just one type in an area and there are lots of them.

There's a WORLDGEN parameter that lets you control the number of types of clowns you get, which makes me think they're randomly generated like the Titans are.

Has anyone managed to try and dig thru the bottom rock stuff? For some reason the game wouldn't let me designate digging on the rock there, even after making stairs to it.
