I still love the idea of Necromancer bandits

Well, my newly created peasant adventurer don't like that idea much



As i wondered if it would just display another bug with living bandits and undead , i decided to give a little look :


Apparently there are no living bandits, good.
What was less good is that there was one undead sprinting from the south of the screen out of my sight while i entered a house to check if there was still living people, and noticed there was a lot of them on top of each other on the same tile (that good old bug) and when i exited, the sprinting undead had appeared on my sight, and i was in his.

Unfortunately, it was sprinting faster than my poor novice peasant and quickly annihilated him.

Tough i guess i should be happy, for once i find bandits that aren't no-reaction/ultra-pacifists bugged

Taking a walk around a hamlet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After wandering near a hamlet, i spotted 2 goats , in fact the 2 goats spotted me and rushed for a fight to the death.
Fortunately this time i didn't took a peasant and my human character managed to dispatch those crazed goats.

Walking a bit more i saw 4 humans sprinting toward me, i was thinking they may want to avenge their crazed goats and waited, then they went close, i waited for contact and saw the humans rushing past me.
I decided to follow them to see what was going on and witnessed an epic all out battle between 2 stray bulls, 6 keas and the 4 humans that jumped into  the melee.
The result was in favour of the human, that left without making any victory dance


I followed their bloody tracks south and discovered why they were so eager to leave the scene, another battle occured and 2 crazed stray alpaca fell to their righteous fury.


I decided to leave my fellow humans to their projects as apparently they spotted something else that was required some killing, and moved away, only to be violently attacked by 2 vicious hoary marmots


Once i got rid of those murderous beasts, i decided to get back to the hamlet and saw there was a fight ongoing between enraged wolverines and a few bloodthirsty alpacas


I decided it was wiser to continue to walk back to the village , only to be savagely ambushed by a lot of angry keas.


Fortunately, my character isn't too bad at taking care of hordes of angry things


Finally the first houses appeared in my sight, it was time to take a rest from my walk

Nothing too strange has gone on. I'm a Demigod Hearthperson so I found out what was ailing my local area (some kobolds, bandits, a criminal organization in a nearby town, a tower, and a hydra.) So I grabbed a couple bowmen and a swordsman, hefted my halberd, and marched on the kobold camp first. So far I took out 11 of them and have been trying to convert the loot to more useful things. So far, not doing too well at trading, since no one seems to want to work in money for some reason.

Still, my current wish is for a few more waterskins so I can ditch the rivers for a while and just explore further. I'll have to continue raiding the kobolds in the meanwhile, and see how far I need to go to drive them off.

Drop your water on the ground, interact with the waterskin, fill it from the puddle, drink from the puddle, move on.

heh.  Drink the blood of your foes.  You actually need pools of blood instead of licking your blade clean like in 34.x, but pools of blood still work.  dont let vomit get in it though.  Any critter with enough blood to lose in one tile will work.

Also, The water thing I distrust, but is mostly reliable.  Pools in adventure mode get dispersed by foot traffic by default, and I've frozen to death on an occasion or two when dumping water on the ground in freezing biomes.


Pedit:  Even sentient blood works.  Drinking your own blood lost in honorable combat is p awesome.  just put in a bag.

While i was travelling alone to reach a nearby dwarven outpost, a pack of wolves ambushed me.
And during the battle i saw , coming to my rescue a ... hoary marmot


That savagely attacked one of the wolves

managed to avenge my rescuer

Brave little crazed hoary marmot.

[Max™]

I just found out Gar Legendbreaker, my nearly 2k kill having dorflet made a friend while I was running time forward in fort mode.

The stray eagle (tame) I pastured on the porch where the military train.

[Robsoie]

discovered with disapointment that it is not possible to retire for a while a "crazed" character in order to play another in the same world, you can only save or give in to starvation , damn limitation

[Robsoie]

always disapointing to see that passivity and uncaring npc :


Basically i punched the Lady of the place and asked one of her soldier that witnessed the scene and as usual did nothing to join me and ... he accepted without problem

[pisskop]

Id love to see crime handled better.  Including all the ethics based activities.  no more vamps wearing their victims tounges around their neck, unless theyre goblin

[Robsoie]

Yes, in fortress mode there is a justice system, i hope we'll get the feature for adventure mode too, especially as all entities have their own ethics (and from what i understand, good improvement in next version is that civs coming from an entity will be able to have different ethics) , a justice system following those would be great at making actions mattering in the game.

And that NPC will be less passive/uncaring/constantly terrified and react to what they see.

[Rumrusher]

wait isn't the whole wearing victims parts around their clothes a left over from retired adventurers unretired is dressed in bling made up of parts of their kills?

[pisskop]

Vampires frequently wear trophies from their vivtims.  Or did, I havent really found any in 40.xx.
In this version Ive only seen nobles wearing jewlery, but elves having trollbone braclets for trade isnt uncommon in my worlds.

[Max™]

Goblins, especially goblin rulers, wear stuff made of elves and dorfs.

Vampires often have sentient-kill-bling.

I prefer my sentient-kill-bling when it is the helmet and armor I made from the skull and bones of sentient dragons.

[EuphoriaToRegret]

This adventurer I'm playing as seems to be unable to be a necromancer...

I went near a tower and forced all the undead to wander away, allowing me to easily run in and grab the slab.
I read it, it says the whole "Secrets of Life of Death" and I don't get the acquired power for animation.

Has anyone else had that happen before?
