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.

If things would stop dying then the necromancers would have gotten bored eventually.

[Mr Frog]

Right now, we need some way to seperate necros from zombies to prevent infinite resurrection. I recommend a cavy corpse placed in a room with sealable doorays both to the surface and to the inside of the fortress, like so:

#############
#...........#

#.#.........#
#.#....c....+ ---> To Fortress
#.#.........#
#.#.........#

 V
To Outside

(The bend in the passageway is so that the necros won't be able to raise the cavy until they're fully inside)

Seal the door to the fortress, open the door to the outside, and wait. When the cavy resurrects, it means that you've caught your necro and should probably seal the doors to keep them from getting out. Afterwards, you can open the door to the fortress and send your military in to get rid of the caught necros (the cavy corpse should go down quickly, and can in fact be reused).

Genius.

[Paintbrushturkey]

actually it's more like 200, and briefly went up to about 350 after the spawn came through... :-/ played hell with my framerate, too now it's back down to 74, i think i may just focuss on clearing undead for the rest of my turn there is well over 1000 bodies and podyparts around the place :-S, sigh sign me up for another go sometime, i want to crash the clowncar ;-)
i'm just gettign rid of the bodyparts for them to resurrect via the spike bridge, but yeah we can do the cavycorpse idea, too

[Splint]

Methinks I'll need to do what I did before.

Humans can be trained into legends, I'll train these dorfs into gods. And on my next go I am going to say that as my opening statment, so get used to this broken record.

And I propose we do either magma chute garbage dumping or trash compaction with a purpose built bridge.

[Mr Frog]

Whatever corpse you use for the necrotrap, make sure it's something easy-to-put-down, or Nastiness will occur. Oh, and care will need to be taken to not expose the miner to danger when opening the trap to the outside.

I think the necrotrap will be quicker at cutting off the source of the zombies. You'll still have to kill off the zombies themselves, though.

Those poor, poor Spawn. They were expecting legendary axedwarves and masterwork spike traps, not 300 reanimating kitten skeletons. That's like signing up for WWII and instead being catapulted into a black hole.

E: You get 74 FPS in this nightmare? What are you playing this on -- Skynet?

[Splint]

Signs up for fortress raid

Get sent to racoon city instead.

[Aseaheru]

what?


also, still no scanner, but i DO have three more peices of shit art ready!

[Mr Frog]

Raccoon City is where Spearbreakers dwarves go on vacation.

[Aseaheru]

whats raccoon city?

[Splint]

Racoon City is the city the first two resident evil movies take place in.

Get the joke now?

[Mr Frog]

whats raccoon city?

Short Answer: Google it.

Long Answer: That place with all the zombies.

[Aseaheru]

joy.

[Megaman3321]

74 FPS... I can't even get that much in a brand new fort 

Did any elves make it in? I'm hoping that I didn't just lose 5 +lead mug+s...

I haven't fully caught up with all the side-posts, but it's been far too long since my last story update, so here's a teaser:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mr Frog paced around his new workplace, sipping from his flask and thinking. Achieving his goal seemed like it was going to be far more difficult than he had thought -- though, of course, it was far from impossible, especially for a genius of his caliber. Getting to Joseph was going to be tricky, and even then, dealing with that madman would only be the first step. There were still his underlings and devotees; Joseph's ideals would outlive him no matter what happened to their progenitor. Still, first things first.
   The primary problem at the moment was the sheer level of surveillance -- from what Mr Frog had seen on the brief tour Silena had lead him on (not terribly extensive, just important daily facilities such as the lunchroom and bathrooms) every single nook and cranny of this installation had a camera trained on it at all times -- even, to Mr Frog's mild consternation, the bathrooms and showers. If Mr Frog (or anyone else, for that matter) did anything that they weren't supposed to be doing, someone would notice immediately. It was clear to Mr Frog that he further machinations would be pointless until he resolved that problem.
   Mr Frog swirled the fluid around in his flask, examining the situation from every angle, trying to come up with a solution.
   Silena was a possibility. While she admittedly seemed to be devoted to Joseph's cause beyond the slightest chance of conversion, she also, in Mr Frog's eyes, had the highly-useful trait of being an idiot. Not a particularly-useful idiot, admittedly, but she did appear to be one tool that was within Mr Frog's grasp at the moment.
   Mr Frog continued contemplating his options for a moment, his brow creasing, before giving up. He didn't have enough information to go on. He supposed Silena may be useful in that respect, at least; he wouldn't trust that babbling moron to keep quiet about anything. If she knew anything useful, he'd find out soon enough.
