Non-game related trouble
« on: April 03, 2010, 07:14:22 pm »

i need help fellow dwarf fortress players, me and my brother are having troubles. these troubles aren't a bug/feature but regarding our experience with the game. we both play it with graphics, normally mayday's, and share one comp we play one. because we share a comp, we have to take fair turns, usually one hour each at a time, and at my first crack at the new version of DF i had trouble with the various things and spent my whole turn on fixing them so it worked its best. now he demands that i hand over my work so he can play to which i responded no, he can get graphics working himself, knowing he can't likely figure it out himself being 13 and the only moding he's done was making extra files on porpuse so he can play crazy DF.
I ask, should i just let him play my work and enjoy it?, or let him do it himself? because i dont want to just hand over my work like i always have to >:(

Say you just have to tweak something.

Make his dwarves slow; Or make the megabeasts/invasions happen early; Set horses on fire...

Then let him play.

I'd try and figure out how to force his wagon to spawn at the lowest level of the map. You'll understand when it happens.
