Well, my first adventure in DF2014 didnt last long, my hammerman got attacked by a pack of wolves leaving his hometown, he passed out from exhaustion during the fight and after some hours of wolves biting his helmet and passing out from exhaustion themselves, one of them gets an idea.

A wolf strangled the adventurer.

Wolves are apparently the badasses of this version.  The new, anytime bogeymen.  Thats not to say you can t beat them relatively easily, but I have had maybe 5 deaths so far, and  have been to random wolves.

I had an adventurer get strangled by a hyena once, in his sleep.

I went back to the troll nest in the underground of the goblins pits sites and noticed that they all respawned , explaining why there was a noticable slowdown of everything while when i originally left after the carnage gameplay was very smooth !

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After rekilling them all (confirming that absolutely no trolls with a named job (architect, miner, etc...) will fight back, only trolls with no job name will do and are the only dangerous one, but they're far from being the majority down there), assuming you didn't managed to insta-put them inconscious or sometime insta-kill them)
I looked at the kill stats



(it's not only the kills from the goblins pits/troll nests , as my character adventured a lot in my world, but the majority comes from those locations)

And checked how it improved my skills


I guess considering how broken stealth is, now that my guy is legendary in ambusher, it's not going to help much.
It was again no real challenge, but a boring key pressing session , the amount of ALT+Y to confirm was very annoying, i wish there was a global button to turn it always on when you want.

Even if during one of my adventures on the surface, a night creature managed to break one of my arm so badly that it made me unconscious (only saved by my party members) with severed nerves that do not heal, so my character can't use a shield anymore, but still can kill with the axe or scourge without a problem. Could be dangerous for less buggy and less frightened enemies factions ... if they exist

The funny thing is that i noticed iron axes strikes in the head by very strong and very high axe skilled character (+legendary in fighter) can be deflected by a robe ! while a kick from rather low skill will not be deflected, even go to bruise head protected by iron helms .
That damage vs protection vs area (scourge/whips are still in 40.x insane terminator weapon) system really needs some kind of rework

Spawned new female heavy role play adventurer. Got quest from my lord to go to other site capital and demand tribute.

She was training very hard during her travel, it took 3 days. In this time, she wresled to death two goblins, and other 3 cuted into half. There was bandit dwarf, who atacked her (he made an ambush, this is first time when dwarf ambushed me!), but she managed to flee.

She arried in middle of day to enemy capital. Sneaked slowly into capital direction, when strange, old, poor looking human was staring into other direction. She felt uneasy, but she passed near him. He spoted her and follow her. She was going straight into middle of town, by street. One child ran though door and bumped into strange human. Human bite off child hand. Child ran two steps away and passed out, because pain and blood loss. Two other humans jump into murderer direction and started slashing him with theys knifes, but he was not falling. After some punches atacking woman passed out, and murdered start eating her face. Huspand start fleeing away. From a cornel two soldiers atracted by screams came.

They atacked beast, but beast was stronger than they. Young adventurer ran into castle direction. When she was arrivied to market, there was two other beasts, looking like first one. Everyone was running in terror. She wielded her sword, raised her shield, and started sprinting into castle doors. Beasts ignored her, chassing other villagers. She pushed gate with whole inpact force, then other one...

This what she saw terried her even more... There was... living sceletors! She start screeming, running back, then she jumped into tree near wall. She was waiting with hope, they can not climb. When she achieve top of tree she was just waiting... they started climbing. She stand on trunk and cuted foot from first sceletor, he falled down, but other two reached she. One of them manage to bite her into arm, very painfully. She, desperated, jumped onto tavern roof and landed on her stomach. She quickly stand up and start running, but after few steps she lost consciousness... Young and broken adventurer waked up and passed again courple times, before reach opossite to tree end of roof, leaving a lot of blood and vomiting after she. She managed to get off from roof and hide in somebody bed...

Then she passed again...

*Urist McAdventurer gets ambushed*

"Look, a cave dragon!"

*Cave dragon chops Urist McAdventurer in half*

"You have died."

Edit: How does this even work: "You slash The Giant in the right eye from behind with your large copper dagger and the injured part is cloven asunder!"

Well, its possible i think, there's just a brain between the eye and the dagger from behind.

[Robsoie]

It works probably the same way as when a dwarf is lying on the ground and punches the head of a standing 40 foot tall bronze colossus.

[Rumrusher]

or a 10 cm bogeyman punches a dwarf.

so far I'm playing around with the new discovery of Army troops in adventure mode.
which are Ally units that aren't companions that will follow you around.
So yeah there is something being a lord gives you. You also could recruit them to be your companions but I don't see the point given they already follow you around, unless you really want them to not get lost.

how I did this is that I stood in a human keep, claim it, then waited a few days until I see a group move over to the keep, usually when this happens you either get another lord who you need to kill, or your ally group. Now the thing with ally units are that while they are friendly to you, they hold no alliances with your companions so you might end up with one bad comment being said by either party leading to a brawl.
if you care about your companions safety best keep them in the keep away from any dangers.

I'm currently leading 2 squads into a town to overthrow the leader.
should I make a thread about this?

[pisskop]

should I make a thread about this?

With a little effort I think itd be good.
Whats the deal with the zom?

Uhh well I modified illthids to have mindslaves who later on could turn into full blown illthids. that zom is well a 'mindslaved' illthid rushing forward to attack my group of Ally:Centaurmen?
later on in the same town a weremerekat walk in and bit an archer I recruited, causing me to back away and fly up to the roofs, where I guess one of my old Army men(they kinda got lost in the city) was standed on the roofs.
we had small idle chat watching 2 wereanimals murder each other.
other than that I retired with another set of loyal minions that aren't mind slaves or companions.
going to see if it's possible in player forts also.

...Went around killing villagers collecting bronze and iron knives, and found a goblin vampire out in the street. Proceeded to shove fifty knives in it's chest, decided to let it live, then, guess what? As I walk away, it shoved it's hand straight through my multiple hoods and iron helmet, and my head exploded in gore.

As my adventurer start to be alive since a very long time after walking over a big part of my world, i noticed that my 2 surviving companions were in my party since nearly the beginning too, and as they're crawling on the ground, i decided to check them :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

my 2 allies :



and my character :

She lost the ability to grasp with her right hand long time ago , fortunately her axe and lasher skill are very high, coupled with her legendary fighter skill, she didn't had much problem missing a shield.
To bad there's no super magic doctor anywhere to fix that arm

I was looking for a crutch long time ago for my 1st party member that lost a foot, but as he died i gave up the quest for a crutch.
Looking at my 2 allies, it looks like i'll have to resume my search, odd that all my companions are ending with a missing foot.
