Adventure mode megaproject, wish me luck.
« on: January 16, 2013, 09:04:02 am »

Incomin wall of text, take cover!

The adventure mode part of this:

I'll be making a world with all very high settings except for minerals. I will then make a very OP demigod character. Then I will kill EVERY monster on the continent. I will then decide whether to become a vampire or necromancer etc. Then I will kill EVERY leader, king, prophet etc. Then I will kill EVERY townsperson. Once the continent is dead I will move onto the next until the world is destroyed!

The fortress mode part of this:

I will embark on the largest capital city I can find and rebuild it, packing it with all the mega projects possible and colonize the circus.

Misc info:
I am using Deon's Genesis mod.

I will savescum, if I die I die and I continue with the killing on a new character.

What you can do:
Wish me luck.  :D

Suggest megaprojects to build on the fortress part.

Suggest what character I should make, axeman, assassin, mage etc.

Ask for a name as a companion or dwarf.

Try this yourself and tell me how it went!

Explain what the poisons in the genesis mod do, I couldn't find info anywhere.

Explain the cast system in the genesis mod, I couldn't find info anywhere.

I'd pass on axeman. Been done before. Assassin implies you are following someone's orders. Unless they be Armok's, I'll pass. Mage? Meh. Sounds like a Mary Sue.

Be the Scatman.

My life is complete. As amazing as that character sounds, I think I'll have to pass.

If you're using Genesis, see if you can find a crescent sword.  They're very, very good for slicing off limbs and heads, and dismembered corpses are so much more scenic than intact ones.

Alrightie, I've decided that I'll be an assassin who uses, swords, throwing(no rocks, vomit etc. only weapons), and ambushing.

I'll leave text updates here though due to the fact that I can't write to save the world, they will be reletivly barebones. I'll be making videos if you want to see the character in action, I'll provide a link once it's uploaded.

Are they the best? I found a copper crescent sword but I have an Iron Broadsword. Is it worth it to switch?

If I'm not mistaken there's still a bug where peasants just respawn continuously no matter what you do. You're also going to have one heck of a time clearing the surface, three caverns, and the circus in any reasonable amount of time. I would suggest using worldgen parameters to make the caverns more navigable but it sounds like you've already started.
Good luck, anyways! Pray there are no diamond titans.

I know that when I switched from iron crescent sword to iron broadsword, I was really disappointed at how hard it was to slice off limbs (the dang thing kept getting stuck), but that could be because I was only holding it with one hand, and the materials could make a big difference as well.  Do some experimenting.

I believe it makes you fail every five actions or so. Something like that, atleast.

Either way, you're gonna have some real trouble if enemies get a free hit on you every fifth time.
Especially if one of those make you fall down and thus make you take twice the hits. Which would be even worse with the aforementioned free hits due to the increased amount of them.

Well then, its a good thing I didn't limit myself to one character. Any suggestion for whom the next character should be?

Voting for this. Perhaps a dwarf (martial trance hehehehe), though it might suck somewhat due to a possible lack of armor. (I haven't really played Genesis.)
