Do you plan to take Morul out in adventure mode?

I almost never do adventure mode. Can you take a dwarf out?

The answer would be 'yes', if I can take him out.

I remember reading on the forum, that some have been able to.

I'm fairly new to adventure mode as well.

No way to do it yet; the only named dwarves you can take on adventure mode are dwarves you've already played and retired on adventure mode. However, you could abandon the fort and if Morul survived and migrated your adventurer could potentially meet and recruit him; however, in order to recruit I am fairly sure you must be better than your recruit and to get your adventurer good enough to recruit Morul would probably take 100 years!

You can use dwarf companion to 'clone' him, by giving a character in adventure mode his name, titles, and skills/attributes. Sadly I don't think there's a way to copy over the kill list.

If you abandon a fortress and immediately go to a Play Now! adventurer, it will start you at the fortress, and all the dwarves at your fortress won't have left yet and will be milling about. It might take some convincing to get Morul to join your party, though, considering that he's several orders of magnitude more skilled than a regular adventurer.

If you don't do a Play Now! adventurer, you might be able to track him down by diligently hunting through legends and probably a bit of luck.

Note that as a Play Now! You have no skills or gear whatsoever, so life will be HARD.

Maybe I could do Play Now, mod the character to have Morul's skills and recruit Morul anyway. What havok could two Morul's wreak? At least one of them could get legendary thrower!  :D

But even without modding, life won't be that hard. There's several full sets of masterwork adamantine armor and weapons in the fortress, not to mention almost 6,000 adamantine bolts.

I didn't think Dwarf Companion worked in adventure mode.  Nobody showed up in DC when I tried it.

Dwarves will show up; to make others appear, you have to hit the "all creatures" button, so that it doesnt say "only dwarves".

27th Limestone, 252, Early Autumn

The magma pipe drained and Morul's suite was successfully constructed. Furnishings are still underway with the pipe 2/3 full. Once filled, a new map update will be provided with a tour of the suite (hopefully furnished, but if not then suggestions will be welcome).

After a few years of fruitless effort trying to make the orcs better axe sparring partners, only to result in nothing but wrestling skill, Morul did make it to legendary axedwarf. He will now move on to spear, already at 'competent'. Hopefully the skilling time will come back down. I'd hate for this to require 12 more years to finish off.

Current stats:

1,839,071 xp

Shield User 54 3456/5900
Armor User 43 136/4800
Axeman 15 383/2000

Str: 27, Agi 27, Tough 28

Previous update:

1,740,737 xp
Wrestler 53 543/5800
Shield User 49 3426/5400
Armor User 39 4215/4400
Axeman 7 525/1200
Str 26, Agi 26, Tough 28

So, 3 sieges and a lot of sparring yielded a point of str and agi, 3 levels of wrestler, 5 of shield user, 4 of armor user, and 8 of axe (though much easier levels to work through). That's pretty decent, but slow going all the same. We'll see if spear fares better.

I'm guessing Morul will have all attributes around 30 and Shield/Armor in the 70/60 range by the time he finishes both spear and sword. That'll be the starting state for the community to play with (along with the save from when he finished the social/labor skills).

REMOVE STUCK CHANCE FROM THE SPEAR, otherwise it'll get stuck and abandoned practically every time he uses it.

Already done.

Well, actually, there was no stick change listed, so I put in a tag to set it to 0.
