Not 100% certain why we'd need an obsidion factory though

We only have a 30 z-level 2x1 area.

As for the SoFs, you should try editing the RAWs to make them die

Or just not cheat.

That's difficult when the presence of the SoFs alone makes the game unplayable. Sparkgear doesn't have many rules, and one of them says that the saves have to be playable.

*sigh* grow some balls you wingy girls. its only SOF sure they annihilate everything but they aint that hard to kill. if it bugs ya soooooooooooooooooooo much then remove fly and command your dwarves properly instead of zerg rushing everything >:C

zerg rushing everything >:C 

that was only me.

I give up.

This map has broke me.   I think I'm going to go huddle in a corner and cry.

Tried everything I Could think of to boost FPS.    Even on my super machine, built not 2 months ago, with utmost DF preformance in mind, that runs a 6x6 100 dwarf fort at 70+FPS, was crawling at 8 FPS.   Temperature off, invasions off, made SOFS not fly anymore, did all kinds of things.   No luck.

And then they killed me.   Hard.  In slow motion.

I have no save to upload.   I hereby move to declare this fortress unplayable.

I just switched to linux (ubuntu) and i can't get DF to work! can i get this sunday instead of this saturday?

[Demonic Spoon]

Sure...also I think we have to do something about this game, I call a council meeting! Or something.

lol barb not just you but you were the only one be awarded with pointless suicide +32 for wasting an entire fort to save one guy with no legs and who bled to death anyway ^_^

[nahkh]

Sheesh. I am disappoint.
I leave for a couple of months and you're already reduced to anarchy.

[Tack]

How is that disappointing? That is the model of a brilliant succession game.

I believe the main problem with this game is the fact that the enemies are too powerful to be handled in a respectful way. Zero speed orcs may be beatable (a handful that infiltrated my fortress only managed to kill 20 dwarves before dying at the hands of the mob) but they're too fast to be fought at the gates or led into elaborate traps, so I ended up spending most of my turn watching as marksdwarves unloaded their quivers, instead of actually fighting them head-on. The SoFs are just devastating, they belong as megabeasts, not as a race that ambushes and sieges in groups. What's the point in all of those enemies if you're just going to close the doors?

[rosedrake]

all i did was remove [buildingdestroyer:2] and [flying] and [nobleed] on the SoFs. my copy of sparkgear prospered.

..... well, it's my turn next, isn't it.

damn.

[Demonic Spoon]

It is currently your turn yes.

Agreed.  I do really like the idea of adding in new enemies, tougher enemies, but these are too tough; you pretty much have to use exploits or cheat to kill them.  I'd like to see something like a semimegabeast civ with a trigger of 3 or higher, or a fire imp civ, or a harpy civ, or all of the above--just not a single civ with all those qualities combined.

inb4 we put together an official SparkGear mod.
