HLYBLEEP ADAMANDITE!
« on: January 31, 2008, 09:32:00 pm »

YAHOO!

Completely accidental, I have no idea what to do now.  Just got the message.  Holycrapawesome.  How much Adamandite is there usually?


Edit:  Just to clarify, I struck adamandite.

What the hell, glowing eerie stuff?  Wtf?  And guys in cages.  Checking the unit screen, they are evidently from the...

Err, spoilers I guess.

Underworld.  Yeah, so I am building 3 doors and locking them.  then mining more, because adamandite is worth quite a bit.  Right?  

Can things come out of that... glowing pit thing?

Forget the doors.

Build walls.

Seal it off.

Flood it.

With magma.

RIGHT NOW.

Um?

Okay?

I was thinking about sending a dwarf into the glowing pit, is there another level below or something?

Edit:  Don't tell me what?

I mean, I am guessing that its dangerous from the guys in cages and the blood and the inscriptions on the floor.  But thus far, nothing...

Nobody tell him anything. Losing is fun! (I've never seen the pits, BTW.)

Honestly, I would rather not lose this place.  I should build weapons for my "military"...

Whats the easiest way to increase an armorsmiths and weaponsmiths skill?

What do you mean? I specifically made an effort to refrain from mentioning anything.

Mood, if you're really lucky, otherwise none exists outside of cheating.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

If he walls it off, we won't get to hear the entertaining tale about how his fortress fell and his dwarves were slaughtered.

So just make them build crappy weapons n junk... okay.  I want some ADAMANDITE SPEARS!  Hahahaha.  After I build about 100 copper ones and offload them on a merchant.  Muahaha.

Edit:  Wait, what?  Slaughtered?  As long as I don't disturb anything, I should be fine, right?

But that's an understandable, normal way to lose. It's only fun if you lose in the most ludicrous way possible.

By the way, I believe you just revealed it.

With a substantial amount of raw material (fuel plus metal, such as iron from goblins) you can build cheap weapons, melt them down, and repeat ad nauseam to train your smiths.  You need plenty of metal, though, as meltdown is not an efficient process.

Side note:  I don't do it much myself, so I'm not sure, but I think the recycled metal is stored inside the smelter and doesn't actually appear as bars?  Something wonky like that.
