New metals for DF2014?
« on: November 28, 2014, 05:33:05 pm »
So, I have been away for some time, so please excuse me if it's a dumb question but... What is this "frosty metal", "pale metal", "rusted metal" stuff? Where do I find/build/steal this? And what to do with it?

Random stuff. if you find it you arent in fortress mode.  And likely have more pressing concerns.

WARNING, CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR ADVENTURE MODE



At the start of every DF2014 world-generation, a few demons escape hell after being helped by a god. After escaping, they'll seal theirselves in some kind of vault with a tablet that contains their true name, on which a goblin civ is built. This vault will be protected by guardian angels equipped with armor and weapons made of a new type of metal based on the god that helped the demon escape (e. g. Frosty metal for a god of snow and ice). These rare materials can only be obtained in adventure mode and are extremely efficient.

Randomly generated on artifacts.  They can get adjectives, and have no effect afaik.

Unless you have a powerhouse PC I'd turn down the "Site Pop Cap" setting in advanced worldgen, to avoid severe site lag (though I haven't played adventure mode since 40.07 or so, so things may have changed).. I've heard plenty of people with nicer PCs having trouble with laggy sites as well..

And speaking of those adjectives that do nothing; those should do something! :>

My computer is surprisingly fast, and could hold out with little lag even when whitin the merchants shouting everywhere with little to no lag, but yes, the cities with underground catacombs and such aways bring the framerate to a halt.

Those random metals all have identical properties btw, only the names are changed.

The slab vaults are not what the goblin towers are built over. They're separate, isolated, and populated only by the guardians.

Without question the angel.  Husks are much weaker in this version.  Zombies are stronger, imo.

Either way the angel has the skills and the weaponry to kill all but the most powerful husks/zombies.

I understand the husk are properly alive now.
