Just a somewhat random question. What is the largest number of Cotton Candy bars you've had lying around in your forts? I have 30 that I don't know what to ddo with right now. My military is doing well enough, and I don't want to waste them.

But to answer your question; in my most successful fort I had over three-hundred at one time.

[evilman222]

Ahh, my bad. Didn't realize that people still didn't know it existed xP And how big was your embark on that one?

[Linkxsc]

Everyone know it exists, its jsut forum banter.

But if your willing, you could spam making coins, then melting them down to give yourself more dippindots

Don't you have to split the stacks of coins for it to work though?

[Larix]

Embark size rarely matters - huge bounties of the blue stuff tend to come from a single very high-reaching tube. Larger embarks improve the chances of scoring such a vein, but the single vein that makes the difference can of course be contained within a 2x2.

The most i've had in one fort was well over a thousand; got a dwarf from nothing to legendary in strand extractor. In my current fort with the most adamantine, i'm in the middle of the extraction, so the majority of it is still raw: 434 raw, 181 strands, 7 rolls of cloth, 74 wafers. I've used very little of it so far - 3 helmets, 3 battle axes, 2 swords, 2 spears, a pick, a minecart, a batch of goblets and one of coins. And three artefacts: a set of chain leggings, a shirt and a war hammer; barely over forty wafers used out of a bit over 700 units mined.

I have 20 axes, 49 breastplates, 45 greaves, 47 helms, 80 high boots, 78 gauntlets, 18 short swords, 15 spears, 1 pick(lol, miners are badass), 152 strands, 191 wafers, 31 raw, 1 (raw) piccolo, 1 sarcophagus, and 1 statue.

Didn't realize I was so low on...candy. I found a vein in third cavern and dug it down to the sea. Guess I need to dig it the depths. Extractors at level 14, 12, 10, and 6.

The most I've had a one time was like 600 waffers (this was a fort with 4k ore, I've had sites with 20k+ though I usually got bored with those before I dug the tasty blue stuff up.) In total I must have smelted 1800 waffers to make 120 suits of armor and more short swords than you could shake a fist at.

[evilman222]

Sweet mother of Armok... What did you need all of that for?

Adamantine is clearly listed on a number of in-game menus, so I don't see why the word needs to be put in spoilers. It's the associated risks that need spoiler tags.

That is true. My first trip to the circus was as enjoyable as it was angering.

As was mine. When I first started DF I had no idea such a substance existed until my miners ran into it. My three hundred wafers of candy were extracted and, being in no hurry, found several other veins to mine. I mined the first until I hit slade, then mined the second until I hit the clown car.

I scrambled my military, my modded in Giant Cave War Spiders holding the line admirably until my militia arrived. I managed to take down about half of them, then my line of spiders fell, then my military. I walled off the the first cavern from the second, vowing to return and kill them all in retaliation...

Now I want a good war. Does anyone know a few good mods that make combat more interesting? Could be adding new species or new intricacies, I'm in a mood.

Ahem. It's:

Lielac looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!

I think you'll like the Fortress Defense mod. 10 more always hostile civs! It's for 0.34.07, apparently, but eh.

[Broken]

Try Masterwork. Lots of new races and challenges. The only problem it has is that, maybe, changes too much. (loses a bit of the DF unique flavor), and is more high fantasy (Damn, you can make an army of magmamancers that breath fire) than low. Still, really enjoyable.

[evilman222]

And it includes Fortress Defense. I use Masterwork as well. Great mod. Been hiding in my fort from a Jotun siege for the past six months. Even an army completely equipped with candy doesn't stand a chance against 200 hellfire-breathing giants
