EVERY time I see the title of this thread I think of a Dwarf in a robe surrounded by Dwarf ladies and he says "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Longland."

First dwarven commercial?

Longland - Beer for you!

[Danjen]

Oh god, I'm glad I'm not the only one

[CobaltKobold]

Try to make some sense?

Try to make some sense?

The Most Interesting Dwarf in the World title is a take-off (presumably) of The Most Interesting Man in the World commercials, where the titular man, described in ways such as 'He lives vicariously- through himself," and "He once had an awkward moment- just to see what it felt like," ends the commercial surrounded by women saying, "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Eques," Dos Eques being the brand name of the beer being advertised.

"Stay Dwarfy, my friends."

[CobaltKobold]

ah. Thank you.

So when's the most interesting dwarf in DF2010 coming around? 

[Haspen]

Morul IS The Most Interesting Dwarf in the World.

It means, there won't be the... mostest dwarf than him

I'm thinking the new version's dwarves saw the commercial and took the "stay thirsty" bit a little too seriously.

Not gonna lie, I laughed my ass over that.

I don't want the huge amount of work Martin's done to be devalued.

I get that it takes a long time, but really now. It's not like he built a house with his bare hands. The dwarf does most of the work.

It's a fair point, but there's more work involved here than people might realize. The trapping and trapping related skills were brutal. Every trap triggers at least one pause/recenter and usually 2-3 due to stolen bait, and each needs to be set up by hand each time. Trapping was probably 8 hours of continuous effort, and then to get enough vermin for fish dissector and animal dissector required about that much additional trapping by other dwarves to collect enough vermin. It was 1500 or so pause/recenters total, just for those 3 skills. Milking was hard too because it needs to be micromanaged else the dwarves come in and eat the maggots (which I had extincted, so I needed to preserve every one).

The military skills were also very time intensive because Morul had to maximize his time fighting without putting the fortress at risk. Sparring just doesn't cut it that far into the skills.

So, of the 71 skills, I'd say 60 were easy and not terribly time intensive, other than just keeping the fortress running. The other 11 were a pain in the ass.

A VERY useful thing to do when your involved with any near-constant pause/recenter is to go into the data/init/announcements.txt and change the settings on the event so that it doesn't pause and recenter.[Did it for warm/damp rock so i could have a room cleared of non-__ then come back and peel it off a layer at a time instead of 1-2 tiles at a time]

[Wannazzaki]

Do i smell very powerful thread necromancy?

[ASCIt]

Not that powerful, I'd call it a proficient reanimation.

[Kentti]

Seems like someone's excited about the next update and started practicing his/her necromancy.

Morul was made in 40d, and there were no such settings to alter, so Martin truly did have to do it by hand. He had no choice.

Anyway, threads like this are linked in various famous-occurrence archives and lists, but that doesn't mean you should post in them. This one had well over a year between the last post prior to yours and yours. Let such things lie; if you must discuss something about them, a new thread for the purpose, or a post in whatever thread you found a link to this one for, is probably more appropriate.
