from the latest devnotes..... so after fighting and losing 3 times, he starts worshipping his enemy.... then carries on to fight another four times? that's some dedication to a goal right there

Perhaps the "worship" was more of an obsession, causing him to ceaselessly follow the beast and try to rid the world of it.

How do NPC's escape after being defeated?
That never happens while playing.

[BigFatDwarf]

I wonder if we'll be able to worship anything we want later in Adventurer Mode. I'd worship a soapmaker anyway

[ArkDelgato]

I'd start a cult of adventurers over a worthless peasant, and lead a holy war in his name.

"Drovash Kummufin is the only real god!
Prepare to die!"

[Areyar]

I'd maim a thousand batmen and become their God King, who commonly takes the form of a destitute dwarf. I'm associated with pebbles and pain.

I was thinking that myself... some sort of reverse stockholm syndrome perhaps.

If you're going to give the fore-mentioned peasant a bunch of male followers, try to pick a number other than 12... That's already been done.

It's good to see that Toady's back and that the podcast-thing got recorded. I can't wait to hear it.

That was a carpenter. This is a peasant. COMPLETELY different

Wait, who the hell would worship a carpenter?

A bunch of FOOLS.

Ok, before the bonfire torches the town, I'm kidding. I do like the notion of dwarves being worshiped by other dwarves though.

Everyone, if said carpenter was Urist Mclumberjack the Horror of Floras, who cut down 345 trees, 321 elves, 156 goblins, 6 crocodiles, 5 unicorns and 1 fluffy wabler alone, with only his rope reed clothing and his trusty <steel battle axe>.

Carpenter != Woodcutter

Toady, do you suppose in the future, players could have the option to enable the simulation fights as they would occur in game-time during world gen, for accuracy? It would obviously be a very low priority.

Yeah, it'd be cool to have options like this for people who don't mind leaving world gen running all night.  There are a lot of ambiguities though, like what terrain the fight should take place in, whether thirst/hunger/drowsiness should play a role, how escapes work, etc.

[Patarak]

Looking at the dev list, it looks like the creature raws have been completed from the future.

Does that mean Toady can take tommorrow off?



Does the new world-gen battle system apply to mortal duels as well?
Just out of interest, can we get a snippet of how much different the combat text is now?
