Tree Wolves!!!!!!1 WTF?
« on: August 18, 2008, 02:17:28 am »


Ok once I had a humsn Hammerer and as usual I was making my way through the plains of my world to kill all the elves, and I get an Ambush.....Joy. I smashed a wolve of the edge of a cliff, only to have it caught by a tree. The wolf remained there until he bled to death. Is this a bug or does this happen often. I play adventure mode alot but never seen this again.

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

I've seen this happen a couple of times to wolves.  Had it happen to a dwarf too, in dwarf mode, when goblins chased him over a cliff.  He wasn't wounded, so he sat in the tree until he died of starvation.

I would like to think that the wolf was impaled by a branch!  ;D

Treetops are partially walkable.  I experimented once by stepping off a human keep onto a tree on the tile below.  Couldn't do anything while up there except step back onto the keep roof.

It's like you're all trying to outdo each other in sheer useless pedantry.

I did this where i jumped off a 2 story keep... and got stuck. The display said Flying and i couldn't even alt-move off. I suppose if there was a platform next to me i could have just walked off.

On a side note when I got to a tavern in a city I never use the stairs. I just jump off and hit a chair! Which is awesome since it doesn't hurt.

Seriously? Finally a REALISTIC fall damage!

In real life, I can jump about twice my height without worry of injury. A mild bump that goes away after a few seconds.

But that's due to me being a traceur... I know how to roll properly and how to land on my feet properly.

But assuming our adventurers are not pansies they probably know how to jump and roll too. They end up on the ground (prone) which is almost the ending position of a roll. (Kneeling)

What amuses me is that it says you SLAM into an obstacle. Slamming usually hurts :D



In some other games, falling half your size will cause you to get a little hurt. And COME ON! Who dies from falling 5 meters?

five meters is a 15 ft+ drop... You wouldn't die, but I would imagine that it would hurt quite a bit.

Actually if you just land feet first and properly, the worse would be breaking your ankles and banging your head a bit from the collapse. Nothing major.

I think that this quote goes very well with your avatar.

But yeah, landing with your rib cage or your head is not a good way to land.

I find it amusing how those kids who say they invented house jumping do it without any training. They jump from the roof of a house or a 2 story building and the goal is to not break anything. Gach. All they need is some basic parkour and free running training and they can totally do it right.

Can't you light the tree if you fall onto a tree?

SPOILER ALERT
Build a Trade Depot anywhere on the map.  now hold Shift+D (Depot access display) while viewing a Z-level that has been completely untouched by miners.  All 'normal' stone areas will have big red D's all over them.  Any area with *any* sort of site feature will be blank (no D's).

they want to leave the tree while still "alive" otherwise they wouldn't have bothered jumping on it
though it still might work safely
