Crash or Katsuun or Yaddy, can I switch with one of you?

[Marko]

Whoever's going right now I'm stuck at work all day and won't be home until 8pm pst (don't ask what thaat is in gmt...) so if you go over a bit I won't mind

[Skid]

Yeah, I'll probably take advantage of that.  I just had to save scum because a pack of bowgoblins wiped out our entire military and a few of their wrestlers found their way into the middle of the courtyard and took out two of the playerdwarves  An awesome defensible entrance isn't much good when there's multiple other ways to get into the fortress.

[nahkh]

All y'all: Keep up with the good work.

Barbarossa: PM me when you find someone to switch with.

nil: I'll check that for you.


EDIT: I have a request for you players. When you upload the save, could you post your estimate to the average FPS you've been getting? Along with a high/mid/low estimate of your computer speed. Also, the current year would be nice.

[nil]

Thanks Nahkh.

Hey Skid, if you can spare the manpower (dwarfpower?), put one of the remaining Deathbringers on uninterrupted pump duty? I want a buff veteran around for my turn, assuming it comes.  It's not a problem if he's wounded, and if you need him for some hauling or just in general that's fine too.

[Skid]

I think there may be a surviving deathbringer already trained up in that way but I'm having a hard enough time just keeping basic fortress systems running.  I've only had enough spare labour to mess around with one small trap for burning the forested half of the map with fire imps and fill in some of the holes in fortress defence.

I'm home from work, and demand file!

23 FPS average, mid/high level computer. Year 309. (I think.)

The imp trap didn't work out very well, even though flames reach vegetation or wood most of the time the fire doesn't end up spreading.  If you want to mess with it, imps are releases by that red lever at the back of the pyramid.

[eerr]

Heres an idea; to capture the spirits of fire, make one giant chamber maze with two diffrent levels.

place cage traps on top and bottom. Every tile.

setup lever-made cave-ins above, and marksmen behind fortifications.

I mean, it's not like we don't have enough mechanisms for it...

[RavingManiac]

Spirits of Fire don't get knocked unconscious by cave-ins due to [NOSTUN].

Its been tested:

I suggest equipping every non-military dwarf in the fortress with a crossbow and bolts, then stationing them behind your full-time military as the demons emerge.

[Heron TSG]

Katsuun and I are switching.

[nahkh]

I'll take your word for it.
Switching.

[crash2455]

That's crazy.  SoF are like terminators.

[Demonic Spoon]

Especially if you mod them to be even stronger Damblock, size increase, more damage, tentacles that do fire damage...

[crash2455]

That would only be entertaining if you modded dwarves to [NOFEAR].  Presently they just win because legendary champions pussy out and run away.

Edit:  Map added to DFFD http://www.mkv25.net/dfma/map-6097--sparkgear2

Also, I'm getting 13 FPS on a Pentium D 2.8 GHz (with priority set to HIGH).
