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.

has anyone else seen the thing where someone asked 50 people if they shood ban water?

Yup.

Anyway, for a small teaser of the update:

Mincer has a wounded hand, but Skewer is lost. No containment. We need soldiers now...



I am SOOOOOOOO FUCKED.

[Aseaheru]

eep.

[Splint]

Welp we're dead. He's going to go on a murderous rampage because he's still armored.

[tomio175]

Overseer's log: Fifth of Hematite.
Skewer has turned into one of... Them. We were unable to put him in containment, but at the very least he was still dying outside while it happened.

Overseer's log: Sixth of Hematite.
Skewer has been terminated. I actually liked the fellow, but when he turned, I had no choice but to give the order.



P.S. He dropped his armor when he turned.

[Splint]

THANK YOU GOD. I though we'd be dealing with an ARMORED abomination against natural law.

[tomio175]

It was a fairly short fight anyway, Skewer was still unconscious from the wounds when he turned, and got almost insta-killed by Dicer.

Oh, and we're out of "training" spawn for our marksdwarves/civil defence units. I'm not setting up new ones because I know I WILL fuck up.

[Lolfail0009]

Even if you don't, Urist McMurphy's Law states that you will be sieged by all three hostile races before the end of your turn.

[Splint]

Or even better, all three at once and then they all mess eachother up so badly they all retreat, while our dwarves get some cheap lulz.

[Lolfail0009]

Summon many bigger fish!

[zacen299]

I want to know how the spawn didn't just kill everything in world gen. Also what are the spawn just a creature type or a civ?

[Aseaheru]

civ. i think

[Reudh]

They're a civ. They have to be a civ if they are to do anything other than occasionally roam around the map.

Tomio- press N to look at the notes for the levers in the containment room I set up. Check a level lower before you do anything.

I think we have two or so in cages that you could dump in there.

Lever on the left controls the bridge that allows access to containment. Lever on the right is not linked to anything, it's used to link to the spawn cages.

Pull the left lever once you're ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN all spawn are dead, use b -> j to build a cage. press x to expand the list, until you find 'holistic spawn cage (material)' or something like that. Build it inside the containment area. Go to the lever on the right. Link up a Cage. Use + or - to find a constructed cage.

Let your mechanics link up the cage. Once you've successfully linked it up, make sure ALL dwarves are out of the containment facility. Pull the lever for the bridge to raise it. Pull the lever to break the cages.

Voila, spawn are now roaming in containment.
In order to get your marksdwarves into position, they must be standing right next to the fortifications. Make sure that wall gets built, and perhaps build some more wall blocking that space off so they will move into proper position.

Civil Defense 1 and 2, and Squad 3 Second all use crossbows, I believe.


Splint, he would drop his armor, because the spawn have no armor in their civ allowed, I believe. So it'd just peel off like skin off a roast chicken.

Wait does that mean spawn have skills and also have a king? I never ever want to meet the spawn king.

We killed thier king actually. But yes, any skills carry over following transformation.

Was the king strong at all? I really think though a legendary dodger/fighter spawn might be very bad for everyone involved.
