But I repeat: Multicore DF. Oh the horrors. 1k population = Mordor style invasion...

yeah maybe or just reduce the max pop in init. This way you could play with your 200 hundred dwarf without having 3-4 FPS

See now, I think that "Mithril" is actually just "Adamantine", but just a different name.

Oh yes.

[...] if mithril isn't being enforced or is unenforceable, then I might just do it that way.  Does somebody have an email for the Tolkien estate?  I could just ask them which words they are claiming.

That said, I can change it to adamant/adamantine, which has way older roots.  For instance, "In Greek mythology, Cronus uses an adamantine sickle to castrate his father, the Titan Uranus."

If adamantine is from greek mythology, I wonder if orichalcum will be added eventually?

I spend my time plotting out plans for making an obsidian or ice cast fortress on a glacier including a way to automate water production from ice.

I've never been on the something aweful forums but god bless em

Hah.  Hahaha. HAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!!!!!!

My brother's a Somethingawful goon.  It can get very . . . intense there.  Not as nice a forum as this one, according to him.  They did bring us Boatmurdered, though.

On topic, I added "Boatmurdered" to my Firefox dictionary.

There are a lot of nice forums out there and a lot of terrifying ones.

I'm a bit of a /b/tard, which is usually considered worse then a goon.  But I keep my /b/ and my bay12 / all other forums separate from each other and thank god.

...when I enter a building, I admire how well made all of the rooms and walls are constructed, and how much room there is in them!

...I also mince wine with wine and call it Biscuits!

go to /tg/ dwarf fortress is celebrated highly there.  i find it a bit more responsive to quick questions than the ol bay12

Dont forget a super-computer stricly for DF pathfindnig calculation so we can have a fort with 1k population

Oh my... The pain... Sieges would be like Minas Tirith all over again!!

(while on that note)
...I have new respects for watching the battle for Minas Tirith. I mean, they carved that whole ciy out of rock. In a Terrifying biome with constant orc seiges.

AND THEY'RE HUMAN!

Because of DF and that post, I'm wondering what other mods Tolkien was using.

Im also wondering if Gimli was actually a dwarf. If you read the books, he wanted to take Legolas into the back of Helms deep to see the crystal caverns (I forgot the real name, but thats essentially what they are) in return, Legolas would take him to see groves of trees in some forest. Why would you DO THAT?

And yes, I do wonder what mods Tolkien was using cause Wizards don't have biomes... Nor do ents... and there's no such thing as "necromancers". Or ships. Or pirates for that matter... And mithril? Pft, Adamantium all the way, dwarves...

In defense of Gimli, A Champion does as he pleases!

But I repeat: Multicore DF. Oh the horrors. 1k population = Mordor style invasion...

By Amok, this must be done! For Super Mega Fortress of the Future! And I would SO need to get access to some dedicated super computer to run a Fortress!

HOLY TRINITY OF DF METALS

Adamantium
Mithril
Orichalcum

now we just need to figure out fdifferent material stats for them...

[dragnar]

Mithril<orichalcum<Adamantine?(orichalcum should be the lightest metal)

[Fault]

maybe one is lightest, one is most durable, on has highest value or soemthing.

[dragnar]

Well, orichalcum is stated as being super-light, dwarves already practically worship adamantine, and maybe mythril could be the strongest?

I thought evreyone was just joking about the dreaming in ASCII thing, but then it happened to me and

[mal7690]

- i engraved a picture of myself in my bedroom, engraving a picture on my wall.

I'm tempted to engrave a picture of him engraving a picture of himself engraving on his wall on my wall.

And I will engrave him, engraving him, that's engraving him, who's engraving HIMSELF engraving a wall, on my wall, so that it is forever known that he engraved.

Because of Dwarf Fortress I now dislike recursion even more
