Draw Your Fortress Events
« on: January 23, 2013, 03:38:20 am »
Because some people are complaining that other people are making Fortress mode-related pics in 'Draw your Adventures' thread, I'm making this thread so you can all art about your current forts.

Have fun :P

Mostly posting to watch, though I'll also include an old drawing from my first fort (40d) to get things started.

This captain of the guard is still my favorite dwarf to date. Nothing like watching her charge solo into a goblin squad and literally scatter them (and their various body parts - thanks, obsidian swords) to the four winds. Once, after obliterating the goblins that were mobbing an injured fortress guard, she immediately took the recover wounded job herself. Donatella managed to haul the poor guard within view of the fortress gates before she finally bled out.

They look like mini-chainsaws, you know.

In .40d, obsidian short swords WERE chainsaws!

In all seriousness, the intent I think was "little obsidian flakes embedded in a wooden sword". Obsidian shortswords were waaay OP in .40d, and could slice through almost anything living with lots of gore.

Kinda like whips and lashes are lightsabers in the current release. Oh, how I miss the obsidian short swords of old..... *sniff

You can't just make a sword out of pure obsidian; it's volcanic glass, too fragile for anything larger than a knife. In DF, you need obsidian stone and a log in order to make one, so I assume you end up with something like this: [Macuahuitl wiki article] And yes, I miss the days when they were every bit as good as steel for swords :D

Iirc, they were the same quality as steel sword (before the weapon rewrite materials were just sorta arbitrarily good, or bad), but only took and obsidian and a wood to make. Good times, good times.

Steel was more difficult to make in .40d, because flux was much more rare in my experience. As such, there was a lot of bronze and leather armor use, and goblinite was especially precious for the steel it brought in.

As such, obsidian shortswords were cheap, and OP.

What's wrong with MSPaint? You can make perfectly delightful images in it!
See, have a look at this product placement for this fine dwarven hygeine product!

It's from the forgotten beast art contest thread on community stories and games.

Here's the description page.

It has an abnormally long body, eg, a "trunk", per the description. It has a deadly dust attack, hence the dandruff reference.
