New Adventurer Mode docs
« on: April 06, 2011, 01:38:53 am »

I just got done updating the adventurer mode docs:

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Adventurer_mode

Let me know what you think. Also, we could use a detailed description of Combat preferences as I'm not sure exactly how they work.

Very, very nice job. Just about every issue possible is covered, so i reckon it won't be long before the article is upgraded to masterwork. :)
Provided that nobody gets ahead of me, i'll write a bit about combat preferences shortly. The only thing about it i'm not quite sure of is swimming, since i've never seen any difference done by it.

Edit: haha what am i talking about, disregard that swimming part. That's what i get for sleeping 13 hours. :P

Second edit: There we go. Feel free to edit the layout of it, i'm not super good at editing wiki's.

Well done! I learned a lot of things I didn't know about adventure mode by reading that. Masterwork indeed.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

This is great, well done :)
I had no idea strength increases how tough your muscles are in this game and version :)

Thanks!!

Shook: The combat preferences section looks awesome. Thats exactly the sort of stuff I wanted to know.

BTW, some of the stuff is stuff that was already on the page (like the muscle mass thing) and I personally haven't verified it so it would be good for people to look over the doc for anything that doesn't sound right. I think there's also something else I marked Verify like empathy helping with recruiting.


Also, I think anyone (though you might need a wiki account) can update the rating to master if they want by hitting the Rate tab in the upper right. I just hate to do it myself because it's good to have a second opinion.

As a note, elves have higher natural speed so that's a bit of a bonus.

Ok, will add the elf speed thing.

I also updated the key reference so that it will all fit on most screens:

Looks good, but the Armor User info is different to that on http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Combat_skill

Hmm.... Not sure where I came up with the armor user info but I was sure I read somewhere that armor user was actually related to the probability of penetrating armor. Anyway, I'll fix that part
