Anyway, Morul is up to High Master Swordsdwarf just through sparring. If the 'higher skills = fewer injuries' during sparring theory is correct, it's possible he's going longer before hurting his opponent now. I noticed before they'd start sparring and almost instantly break it off even though nobody was seriously hurt. Morul appears to spar longer now, so maybe that's it.

Final stretch! Final stretch!

You should play the Chariots of Fire theme as Morul gets within 100-200 exp of his goal. This is exciting.

[monk12]

Its the FINAL COUNTDOWN!

...and now that song will be in my head for a week.

[hexedmagica]

Well, at least we'll finally see Morul's full glory soon.

[Martin]

Well, I'll tell you it's a little less exciting at 4FPS. 

And Adamantine bolts made by a legendary +bazillion weaponsmith will increase your fortress wealth in a big damn hurry. +4M in a month.

[Sensei]

Be sure to decorate them.

[Martin]

Yeah, that's next. Problem is that I have 40,000 bolts. Probably 12,000 adamantine, half that many metal, and the rest bone. Need to do some pretty serious pile shuffling to make sure the right ones are getting decorated.

I wonder how long it'd take Morul to fire a few thousand bolts if he had a constant stream of targets or even just a Wild Horse with size 10,000 or so to shoot them at. With the infinite quiver trick, I'm guessing he'd be the dwarven equivalent of a gatling gun.

With this and [SPEED:0], he'd be the dwarven equivalent of a laser.

Find out for yourself soon! Hell, you can have him fire nothing but adamantine bolts, if you really want.

[Martin]

Well, we're really getting down to it. Another siege - just 3 squads. Morul just tipped into Grand Master Swordsdwarf, so he's probably got 2 more sieges + sparring to get him done. In other news, I finally got around to swapping in d16 and it's definitely helped framerate. With siegers on screen I get about 8-9 FPS, and sometimes it runs as high as 13!

[Skorpion]

What did you upgrade to D16 from?

[Martin]

Plain 40d. I had problems with some of the other d#s. Last tried around d11 or so.

[Skorpion]

Damn. I'm running D11, and getting a solid 7-10 FPS on dorf heaven. I'm wondering whether going to D16 would improve matters, but don't want to change because I'm stubborn.

Also, how did you get so much adamantine?

[Martin]

First modded olivine to give adamantine, then modded gabbro. Wealth brings sieges, and besides, if people are going to have a playground, it might as well be a properly resourced one.

I was curious to see if I was over 2M exp yet, so here are the new stats:

Current stats:

2,046,423 xp

Shield User 67 6384/7200
Wrestler 65 6968/7000
Armor User 49 2203/5400
Swordsman 14 248/1900

Str: 30, Agi 27, Tough 30

Previous stats:

1,921,620 xp
Wrestler 60 204/6500
Shield User 60 1586/6500
Armor User 46 88/5100

Str: 29, Agi 27, Tough 28

I think this makes Morul the first 2M+ exp dwarf, and the first 30+ stat dwarf. Another 5 levels of wrestler, 7 shield user, 3 armor user.
