[CancerousCthulhu]

Made a world with 90% evil biomes. After 200 years of history, the only creatures left were gobbos. Fun fun! A gobbo adventurer! So I made him and within five minutes I am now an undead thrall. I somehow lost my right hand AND my warhammer to an undead salt water crocodile, so I am now using it's corpse as an incredibly effective replacement to my old hammer. Thank you pulping!

Via evil cloud/mist/fog or rain? I have yet to see the evil cloud/mist/fog weather in adventure mode.

Indeed. Caught in an evil cloud of murk or something similar.

Haven't run into one in adventure mode yet for whatever reason. Wonder if I can become a vampire husk or something.

probably. i think it doesnt work the other way around though. and you'd have a hard time getting quests after that. but probably.

I'm quite finished with crossbowmen I can't see removing my ability to stand.

aren't we all? protip: shields

Shields, dodge, and agility.

Also armor user skill, in this version they aren't nearly so insta killing. Every last bit of protection helps. Also willpower helps you to bat arrows out of the air.

Also my advice for dealing with crowsbowmen and bowmen is to run at them at full sprint to limit how many shots they can get off and hope for the best when you reach them

Trying to find some capitals, no clue how to do so. How do I tell which city is the capital for a given civilization?

Ask them for trading  partners.

It's also marked with a crown on the Q-log map.

BTW, I dunno if you guys have followed the developments, but .40.05 bolts are a lot less overpowered now:
Steel has about 92% deflection rate, candy 100%.
Iron, copper and bronze also deflect, but not as much.

Of course, bolts still break bones and numb, but at least putting on armour makes a difference now.

Nice, what got changed?
Looking into the raws crossbows are still railguns:

No trust me, they are not railguns anymore:

Well good job on the analysis, it seems indeed better than before.
Yet if I understood the explanation from some older discussion the [SHOOT_FORCE:1000] thing makes the bolts fly at an unreasonable speed still, or am I wrong?

It is actually capped by max velocity now, the shoot force is that high just so heavy ammunition is actually viable (because density lowers actual velocity). So at max, ranged weapons are 1/5th what they once were.

Decided to finally give the new version adventure mode a long, decent run. Started as an axedwarf. Recruited a couple companions. Not rushing anywhere, trying to carefully piece together the state of affairs in the world. Got a large elven kingdom nearby. Haven't seen any goblins yet, though there are quite a lot of evil regions nearby. Witnessed zombie-camels from afar. Sneaked into a lair, seen a dragon, walked away. Tried to confront a winged slug Hill Titan, hacked at it a few times, escaped due to efforts being pretty ineffective.
Moving on, going west...
