his face is based on a graphics tileset I made. the tiles were 10x12, so I didn't have enough room to make anything besides a circular face with angry eyebrows and pointy ears.

this is the graphic used for goblins:

honestly, i always invisioned planepacked as some sort of insane massive monolith-style giant rectangle. each image on it going around from the base up in rings. with the very top of it on the horizontal 'roof' of the thing having one really big picture of it, as seen from a dramatic angle

Archibess the Hammerer, from Nist Akath.



I saw her as younger and naive, as compared to that psycho Toralnil, so I gave her a ponytail to... er... youngify her.

Neither've I, for that matter (I've read bits and pieces here and there).  Does seem like something to set aside a lot of time for, though, from the looks of it. ;D

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

I saw this on my nobles screen and thought "oh, I can do that." Then I looked closer.

I never read Nist Akath all the way through because it was too damn long.
If somebody put it in an easy to read format (like Boatmurdered in the LP Archives), I could probably read it.

It has merits as a story, but its very unlike boatmurdered. Boatmurdered is a good portrait of 2D Dwarf Fortress. Nist Akath is just so heavily modded and his author took so many literary freedom it can't be see as such (not that it claims to be...)

I know, I was just stating that if Nist Akath were put into a more readable format, I'd be able to read it.
As it is (in the forums), I have trouble reading through it.

This should be put into the screenshot thread and immortalized for its sheer win.

Someone collated the story posts into a single html file, I think.

EDIT: Also,



It is Adelore, the Champion Wrestler, also from Nist Akath.

Here's my favourite HFS, the spirit of fire.

For some reason all of my sucessful forts have encountered SOF's at some point.

thanks, jackrabbit. I've heard some people see SOF's as more of a balrog-esque big manly bastard, but from the way that act towards my dwarfs in terms of ambushing, I've always pictured them as wispy and sneaky looking.

Has anyone else had the main boss Demon burn to death cause he stood too close to an SOF? I thought they were fireimmune, but apparently SOF's burn hot enough to hurt them...
