Meh, most dwarves wear little more than rags after a 30 year fortress anyway.  Actually, due to the prolific clothiering of Morul, that may not be the case there.

[Martin]

Morul didn't make any clothing other than an adamantine set for himself which has already degraded. Most of the bags he made (1200 of them) are degraded to one degree or another. Nobody has had a stitch of clothing for at least 20 years.

I'd say the moral of the story is that no matter how hard the journey, how difficult the quest, how impossible the mission, it's worth it if you get to throw an orc 155 tiles and splatter him against the wall at the end.

Pretty soon I bet you'll see him splatter orcs right next to him without flying anywhere.
But that's just an optical illusion: in fact he'll send orcs flying through the 6th dimension and they will come right back to the same spot at the sime time instantaneously.
If this game could simulate to the particle level, Morul would smash those into even smaller pieces.
What I'm trying to say is that Morul is now stronger than the game's physics.  Don't be surprised if he starts time traveling.

Yeah, I remember when Morul became an epic dwarf years from now. I totally remember when that will have had happened. It was going to be awesome.

[Sensei]

Do you think adding difficulty to the all existing creatures on the map would give him more experience? That works in adventure mode, I think. And making dwarves have a difficulty of 5 could make them spar up even faster!

Also, why not pick and animal and replace its entry with a giant, brainless, damblock 999999999999 blob of meat for him to train up on?

[Nonsapient]

That's the next phase,  He is trying to get to Dwarf Avatar while staying as close to Vannilla DF as possible.

[Sensei]

Well I was thinking making orcs DIFFICULTY:5 would just be fair and logical- seeing as they pose more threat than animals it should be rewarded, even though they die in one hit. Yes, the retarded blob monster would have to wait for the next phase.

[Martin]

The problem is that the orcs just aren't showing up in numbers. They used to siege 5 squads 2x a year and now I'm lucky to see 3 squads once. Sparring is working again, so I'm going to give it some time and see how it plays out.

Bump.

on the sieges, are you still making lots of expensive things? maybe part of sieges is from overall value and some is from newly created value?

[Martin]

Good question - no, I'm not. Fortress value has largely topped out at 27M. Mostly the fortress is working on stone blocks and clear glass blocks just to finish up the basic construction around the central courtyard. There are a few hundred (thousand perhaps) clear glass windows to make and install, but by and large, the fortress isn't creating substantial new wealth - mainly because of storage issues (and my time this week to manage it - the fortress is pretty much on autopilot).

I'll see if turning up the wealth creation (need food and more stone crafts for the elves) will have any impact, and maybe some more masterwork steel armor.

1st Limestone, 236, Early Autumn

Things have been proceeding without much attention, but today we noticed that Morul became a legendary shield user. That's especially good news as it is a very important skill. Now that the meeting area for the fortress is in his bedroom, his social skills are coming along more regularly, but it'll be some time yet.

[The Scout]

Lol how many game years did it take to get this? I have 6 legendary miners and 1 legendary mason in one game month.

[Derakon]

He just posted the history of Morul's progress, including dates.

236 - 202 = 34 years
