Being a hunter adventurer is quite fun.  Until I have to go to town to sell the meat.  Then the 30 seconds per move annoys the hell outta me.  And then there's the fact that I need to crawl through the shops (turning the 30 seconds per move into a minute 30 seconds per move) because there's 10 people per tile in the shop.

Anybody know a fix for that?

sounds like a PC problem, what specs do you have?

[Greiger]

My computer is rather old, but I run 200 dwarf 4x4  forts at 50 FPS, with temperature on, so I think it's more a overpopulated towns thing.  There was literally 3 pages worth of civilians in every tile of every building.

Intel Core2 Duo (2 cores @ 2.66 Ghz)
4 GB Ram
Windows Vista set to minimum resource usage possible (ugh)
ATI Radeon 4600

3 pages worth of civilians is pretty crazy. Guess you've been having the opposite of the world gen starvation depopulation the rest of us are having. Try migrating to a different town and be a hunter outside there.

Oh man, selling meat and buying more arrows with it, being a hunter. I think I want to do that now...

[Greiger]

Yea that's what I ended up doing.  Then when I got there I immediately got my brain kicked out by a camel.

That must be why Dwarf mode hunters never approach their prey to finish them off, they are afraid they will wake up the moment they get close to them and kick their skull in.

If you want to go that way, may I suggest you the wanderer friend mod?

No really, Spoiler. Start embark...blam HFS, and major lag.
"You have discovered an eerie cavern. The air above the dark stone floor is alive with vorticies of purple light and the dark, boiling clouds. Seemingly bottomless glowing pits mark the surface."
...and I'm standing over a cliff looking into the abyss, with my back to a human house full of cheesemakers. The house is surrounded on three sides by "rough slade walls"
That tiny green adventurer is me, and the grey wall to the SW is slade.
So... anyone? Nothing fancy with worldgen. I'm about to attemp a dive for !!Science!!

Hell bordering a human town? That's what I'm seeing down there? A wall of a human hovel?

[Rumrusher]

Well in necromancy news Zombies fighting each other could be just called Rotten Sparring.
Because now I got some high master in fighting zombies with increased skills in dodging.
Though all this does is make them more durable when up against living foes.

oh and zombie animals need living meat or will constantly chase you down.

Yep, that's what you're seeing. Game crashes anytime I try and do interesting stuff like travel more than a day in any direction, or 'move carefully' down into/on the molten rocky sea.

Thats what.

[DrKillPatient]

I just used an axe to chop off a night creature's hands, then equip them to my respective hands and batter it to death with them. I think it bled to death from its severed stumps rather than having its skull caved in by its own hand, though.

[Rumrusher]

3,636 companions a good chunk of them demons.

Playing a Deon demon with a demon army.

I just had a sudden urge to re-enact this song in Adventure mode...

[jaxy15]

So I get ambushed by humans.
I throw away my iron shotgun because I was outta shells.
I try to attack the wrestler, but then some jackass shoots me in the head and I die.
