Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

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

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

How the he'll did syrup leaf survive without adamantine?

Oh yeah, tehsid...

I've been terracing syrup leaf these past few weeks, and I honestly can't think of a better writing. Let's make this as cool as that!

Exactly! But only about... 7 of us do much? I tried to pique curiosity, and even made the homemade version of the spawn known to the world.

Part of the thing that made it great was the community it had doing stuff. We're just..... Kinda scraping by, but having fun at the same time. Guess that last part matters more, so mission accomplished so far!

@Terrahex:
Syrupleaf is actually my least favourite of the Boatmurdered/Headshoots/Syrupleaf trilogy. I can't remember why, just that I didn't like it as much as the other two Should probably reread it.

@Draig:
IIRC, creatures with CAVE_ADAPT get combat bonuses when fighting underground, so that was also a factor.

In the future, I'd personally recommend sending out all fully-equipped troops, regardless of skill. Even if they aren't skilled enough to fight the Spawn effectively, they'll at least be able to take hits so that our important dwarves don't have to.

@Splint:
Well, IIRC, Syrupleaf only had a few consistent long-term contributors itself. And not all of them were that good... Granted, I don't think all (if any) of us really are, but... I think we're doing pretty good.

[Splint]

Giant Emu anyone? What do you think I brought those for? They weren't intended for food, they were intended to fight. We also have dogs and whatever dispatched elves bring (I made damn near all giant exotics trainable.) so setting up cages linked to levers to unleash the fighting animals first, and combined with an airlock system to break up attackers, the combined cannon foder and (If Frog is right) combat bonuses might actually allow us to absolutly shred smaller groups of spawn.

[Mr Frog]

Giant emus don't wear armor, which is somewhat important when attempting to take hits from a screeching set of walking jaws and still remain alive to take more hits from more screeching sets of walking jaws.

Also, are you sure you added [TRAINABLE] to their raws? I recall checking and I couldn't find it.

PS: It's probably worth mentioning that numbers mean a lot against the Spawn. Even baseline draftees with Competent weapon skill, Novice Dodger/Armour/etc., and no breastplates could often score a win if they had a reasonable numerical advantage.

[Splint]

They should have been trainable. I genned the world from premodded raws to include fighting giant emu. And the Giant Emu should, if nothing else, take a little longer to kill and maybe a kick will ground a spawn in the process.

If I did indeed forget the [TRAINABLE] tag, as unethical as it is, I'd like it put in as they were intended to be fighting animals. Plus, if the fight goes well, we can still use the dead ones for meat anyway!

[Talvieno]

Mr Frog - Giant Sperm Whales don't wear armor either, but even untrained they're deadly killing machines (for the few seconds they're out of the water).

Giant Emu forces would be awesome, I really think we should make sure the [TRAINABLE] tag is there, too... I'm almost positive it isn't.

A question, Splint - should I just go through and put all the side-journal entries on the front page? I was trying to avoid it (to leave as much space free as possible) but if that's the majority opinion I'd be happy to attempt to put them all up.

[Splint]

My apologies for the late response. I got no sleep last night and feel asleep around noon.

I think if majority opinion is for it, then go ahead and try with the journals Talvieno.

[The Master]

I'm starting to think my dwarf might be going a tiny bit insane.

[Splint]

Nah, he just developed an unhealthy obsession with his weapons. That's not a sign of going bonkers. Not at all.

Hey, what red-blooded dorf doesn't enjoy stroking his wood every now and then?
(Yes, it had to be said.)

Ones that aren't armok-damned elves! He better be strokin' metal or stone, not wood!

[Talvieno]

Rocks are harder than wood anyway, right?

@Draignean:

How's it going on the update?

I need to write my journal and upload my picture I drew of The Master too... Maybe later when I'm not so lazy
