[Dark One]

New report:

Got ambushed on the way to another settlement. I trained my throwing a bit before...

Since then I took a few settlements.

And I died when trying to claim a lair...

I am going to try this when I get home

I took over a Dark Fortress once.

Is that even possible?

Felt like I was doing this challenge when I started as a baby in the middle of nowhere.
Baby-mode straight up removes the abililty for you to talk to anyone(you can greet people but can't start a normal conversation and will talk over you.), forces you prone which removes jumping and climbing also you can't eat that many types of foods.

Can you still open the civ naming menu and say to the site leader that you claim the site?

yes but you will say Gaba or googoo or baba and every one will ignore your claims or react to them,
you still gain owner ship by offing the other leaders so it still counts just it's a stealth one and if you pull this off using an item that doesn't points the murder directly to you ala a minecart.
you can assassinate the head leaders and take over the place.
that said getting say a goblin site to not murder you because you look defenseless is tricky.

This is hilarious.
It's amazing how many things actually work when you hack your way into them despite not being intended features.  Have you ever tried playing as a ghost?  You can fly through walls, but only when not wearing or carrying anything, and you can't attack or be attacked in melee (you can still kill people by throwing stuff though).

After reading through your first log, I want to point a fun bit of fun out...

Interactions menu - I. Pull out the bolts, and you can throw them. They hurt a lot when you do that.

Also, I find stealth+wrestling to be a fun way to dispatch folks - go for the strangle, or you can put joint locks on arms/legs and break them. Usually it takes just one break to for them to pass out, at which point it's stranglin' time! Also, if you have the initiative go for the highest threat - wrestle their weapon. Once you have a hold on it, you can use the Interactions menu again to 'gain possession' of it - this does exactly what it sounds like. I often enjoy ripping a mook's crossbow out of his hands and throwing it back into his face. Or, steal the quiver. He can only bash you at that point and you can return the favor with a full quiver, or you can throw the bolts individually causing a lot of fun and pain. You can do this at any point, but obviously it's most effective as an opening move as it disarms an opponent. It only takes two "turns" - one wrestle, one interaction. Breaking limbs takes 3 - wrestle, lock, break (and 2 more to let go to free the hand).

Once my current adventurer dies (I cheated in steel equipment but otherwise started as a peasant-level outsider) I'll give this a go myself
