In summary, I want to pit an adventurer dwarf who has spent his entire life strangling skeletal groundhogs against Morul.

Morul would be decapitated by a thrown feather.  There's so much that's broken about adventure mode.

Congrats on finishing your quest.  Morul is truly a testament to the dwarven spirit.  A shame he is so old.

That just makes him more epic.  A 90 year old human beating up a professional fighter just makes it more impressive.  By now, Morul could be the ultimate old mentor.  After all, there really isn't anything he doesn't know.

If anyone wants to take on adventurer, this might be a good site to do it. The fortress is quite accessible and the really good stuff is nicely contained in Moruls suite. There's 5 full sets of masterwork adamantine weapons and armor and clothing, I think, plus all the stuff in the artifact room right below, plus a shitload of adamantine ammo that would be light to carry and sell for quite a lot.

Oh, if anyone could run visualizer on it, I still can't seem to get it working. In particular I'd like to see the front approach with the moat, the center atrium with all the windows and suspended platforms, and Morul's suite. Not sure what it does with clear glass windows + magma.

Am I doing it wrong? I can't get the save to work. Every time I boot 40d16 it makes new object files (that are named files, while the ones I downloaded are called text files) and running the save only gets me errors about compressed files

One one hand, our dear dorf has hundreds of extra legendary levels. On the other hand, an adventurer has one thing Morul does not, cannot, and will not ever have. Legendary Throwing.
It's not impossible, just not easy.

I ran it in d16 and copied the files over to a new d16 install on xp and it worked fine. Anyone else having trouble?

I was actually looking at it last night; didn't realize you weren't able to take a look yourself. I'm off to class, but I can post some when I'm back, if nobody else has by then.

ed- screenies in progress, will repost when done

Ah, figured it out. The object folder replaces raws->object, not data->object.

To Martin et. all, we've got visualizer screenies! Went ahead and took a whole bunch, all contained in the below spoilers. Everything's in VF and Stonesense as both give great but different perspectives. Extremely image-heavy, be warned!

I didn't upload the folder of screenshots to the DFFD or anything, but all the image direct links are in the spoiler below.

Impressive.

Well done, Martin. I think you've earned yourself a place in the annals of Dwarf Fortressdom just as much as the dwarf you've created.

Thank you so much Retro! Those are perfect! I really like the effect of the magma against the windows in his suite.

Wow, it's finally finished. I've followed this from the beginning Martin, and all I can do is say awesome job - a great way to finish off this version of DF.
