Author Topic: Do the engravings I find in the funpits in the mountains decide the fun I get?  (Read 3720 times)

For example, will finding lots of depraved engravings result in lots of fun appendages? A lots of engravings of burning creatures result in fun fires?

Yep.

The bottom level of the [REDACTED] always have engravings of fire and torture, though. That's where the big bad [REDACTED] dwells.

It's also determined on the shit you find lying around, lot's of ash means sons of freaks (SoF), mud means frogger's big brother, ect.

Also don't forget the horrid "leavings" in certain other pits.

This is an engraving of a bronze colossus. The bronze colossus is committing a depraved act.

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

The naughty clowns are fond of leaving around a white-colored "unknown substance"

But I am curious, I have never seen the engravings for fire clowns or amphibian clowns.  What do they look like?

Each type of funhouse has very specific contents.

If the upper levels have pools of water and muddy floors, accompanied by turtles, moghoppers, lungfish, and blood gnats, you've got swimming clowns.

If the upper levels have magma pools and are littered with ashes and charcoal, you've got ‼clown‼s (which are likely to set the charcoal on fire, causing it to burn for the better part of a year).

If the upper levels are engraved with naughty pictures, filled with people, and covered with various... substances, you've got naughty clowns.

The bottom floor always contains the same stuff.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I wonder what the game does if you create custom fun stuff.  Does it just pick from the available options, or does it pick something based upon the associated spheres (like temples)?

Bricks, that theory merits further study!

It's based on spheres. It's no coincidence that the !![REDACTED]!! have the [FIRE] sphere attached to them and have their levels frequently covered with pictures of dwarves and elves and whatever burning.

I don't know what would happen if you slapped a [SPHERE:LONGEVITY] tag on a [REDACTED] critter, but I think the results would be pretty interesting.

Actually, the ‼[REDACTED]‼ never have any engravings on their levels, just rough stone floors littered with charcoal and ashes. Only the very bottom floor has the engravings of dead/withering/burning/screaming humanoids, and it always has those engravings regardless of what's on the upper levels.

My question is what human/dwarf took the time to engrave pictures of his burning friends and family?  Or was their pain and terror so strong that it engraved their final moments of life into the surrounding stone.

You sure? I could've sworn that there were engravings of dwarves burning or whatever on the upper levels. I think there are engravings of demons performing depraved acts when you have that particular [REDACTED] show up, somewhere on their levels.

My experience with [REDACTED] has been severely limited, however. I tend not to embark on any maps that have it or open them up. Too much architectural potential.

Maybe the [REDACTED] carved the engravings.
