We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I took it out before embark. They're bad enough as it is, and I figured if we really absolutly had no choice we could rig up traps in chokepoints and such to at least slow them down, cause locked doors sure as shit won't since they should still have the lockpicker tag, so thier scouts would get a nasty suprise after unlocking a door.

[Talvieno]

Hrm... All right... At least we have that figured out.

[Reudh]

Ah, your custodianship is grand, Talvi! You've knitted it all together in a way that makes it easy to read.

And yeah, I like the idea of the spawn being capturable. Dwarven ingenuity > brawn.
Could also be a bit of a homage to Chance II in Syrupleaf, with his studying of a dead spawn, and eventual animation of said spawn corpse as a mining automaton.

[Splint]

I need to vent because I just lost an adventurer not to combat or general  lack of supply. I got stuck in acave because my safty fires would go out and I was too stupid to just walk over them.

[Reudh]

Um?
You can always savescum.

[Splint]

No. No you can't. Not when you haven't saved, not expecting to live that long. I killed a giant while crippled and crutchless with a fighting knife. I killed several dozen wolf packs and wiped out a modbold gang while crippled. What killed me? Having to "starve to death" because the safty fires I lit in a cave wouldn't go out.

[Reudh]

Yeowch. That caught me out many a time.

[Talvieno]

Usually, in adv. mode, I just sleep as far through the night as I can, and when the bogeymen come, I run. I've run til morning several times, but I usually prefer to see if I can kill several of them to send them packing. This requires getting lucky with their random generation, and them being weak...

[Reudh]

The best way (Ubiq suggested this to me in the Dawn of Time challenge thread) is to make a box of fires, and dump your water on the ground. Infinite watersource. Then practice by throwing water at the bogeys. If they're sufficiently injured they leave and tag team with another bogie; there's a finite amount per night so you'll eventually cripple them enough.

There was one who I oneshotted with a thrown water.

"The spinning water laced with bogeyman blood strikes the bogeyman in the upper body, tearing apart the lung!
The bogeyman pulls out and drops the water.
The bogeyman has bled to death."

what i want to find: a dwarf with minimal relatives ether alive or in the fort. bonus if a athiest

[Xahnel]

Didn't a spawn immigrate at some point, or was that Splints alt-fort?

[Talvieno]

That was Splint's alternate timeline, which is why I didn't put the quote someone suggested up on the front page (at least, I think I didn't).

quickedit: Good, I didn't. I didn't want to confuse people with what actually happened.

[Reudh]

I don't think, Asea, that there's any dwarf with NO worship. I think the least you'll get is a dwarf who's a 'dubious worshipper' of only one deity.

There are plenty of dwarves with minimal to little relatives. EG: Rose has no relatives.

[Splint]

A good chunk of our population doesn't seem to worship a damn thing actually.
