[Loud Whispers]

Sir, I STARTED the thread about wagons! Bow to me!

The wagon bandwagon continues.

[wierd]

This is the mac equivalent of DosBox in terms of retro gaming. It even supports network function.

Really? I thought DosBox was the mac equivalent of DosBox. Or better yet, just use Boxer.

Isn't English wonderful?

"The mac equivalent of dosbox", as in "like dosbox does for dos, Basillisk II with OS7.5.5 does for classic mac"--like dosbox, it runs basically everywhere. Unlike dosbox, it runs mac software and not dos software.

So, "the mac equivalent of dosbox" is a correct description. That it can be confused with "dosbox, on a mac!" Is just one of those lovely little ambiguities that makes the english language fun for everyone. If you want "dosbox on a mac!", just use dosbox! It has a native port. If you want to run classic mac 68k based software, then you should look at basilisk.  Its like dosbox, except for mac software. It emulates a full 68k based mac clone, including the network card, and scsi interface.

Well, I tried to run the Oregon Trail 2 cd through Linux - Wine, but it gets stuck in the installer.
We've had DOSBOX at work, but I've never tried it on Linux.

Oh well, at least I was able to roll on in here and trade a few wagon tongues. So I'm happy.

I would not what to mes with someone who steals oxen by lifting them up and walking away.

... come to think of it that guy must be HUGE.

given the amount of linguistics based lunacy in this thread I think it's safe to say FUN is better then fun in this case.

[Spacespinner]

Obviously he was a tall dwarf.

[Itnetlolor]

This is going to end up with wild wagons and someone modding them in as tamable creatures isn't it. At which point we will have swarms of wagons instead of bears or badgers.

....I'm just imagining this giant anaconda made of wooden death massacring everything on the map then stealing my crap now.

Actually, I already tried doing that. Ended up with a bunch of 1-tile big wagons, little red wagons, and war wagons wandering the location.

You'd be surprised at how heavy wagon leather is; yet their bones are astoundingly light; The meat, not as nutritious as I expected either. Then again, I experimented with an earlier version of DF doing so.

Spoiler: I expect it looked like a herd of these all over the place (Around a volcano in my embark. Wagons are apparently immune to magma; as they drowned before they burned.) (click to show/hide)

Don't worry. It's tame.

[Monk321654]

That face on the battering ram.

Oh sweet Lady Luck.
Cannot un-see.

[wierd]

Not a ram. That's the wagon tongue!

But, if that little figurehead was too scary, stay away from PiranhaMoose!

[Greiger]

I always thought wagons scuttled partially because there was no trade depot.  Their pathing is all about finding the trade depot, or the edge of the map.

Perhaps making wagons their own pullers with a trade depot on the map would work?


Oh and posting to watch science.

Nah, wagon scuttle happily if their haulers are killed, even with open access to depot and map edge over half of the map. I figure it's hard-coded to either never move, or only move when hauled by animals.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Oh boy. Has anyone generated a dragonfire-breathing wagon FB yet?

[Meph]

More importantly: Does anyone have working raws for the Wagonmancer himself?

Oh and btw, if you make wagons pull and pack animals, you have a 3x3 equipment-wagon that is being pulled by 2 1-tile wagon creatures.

[Baffler]

Does that mean it is theoretically possible to make vehicles with complex shapes (tanks and the like) by making a wagon pulling "tread" creature? Does killing one of the animals pulling the wagon scuttle it? both?

[Lolfail0009]

WHY DID I NOT KNOW OF THIS THREAD??!
