I decided to give the new stuff a quick test as a grizzly bear woman, building a basic house innawoods. Not even any companions to help out.

Things got a bit derailed by my lack of food, until I eventually discovered that bitter vetch leaves are edible.

I really love how geists keep popping up near my compound - I can actually recruit them by just dancing and then put them to work in my camp.

I think that since it is a site people visit it so yes, pretty cool.

crud now this got me thinking about GHOST LABOR since it's possible to recruit a ghost.
just set up a fort site to horribly die and spawn some afterworldly workforce.

I just discovered I can create taverns libraries temples in adventure mode aswell


this is.....this is...this i smy dream

Turns out you can build unsupported structures in the build menu. And yep, it will cavein and telefrag you.

seems like it would work..so I see no reason not to do it.

[Robsoie]

oh and there's a slight HYPERTIME issue with camps robsoie where items rot away extremely fast while doing any on site working.
so any doors you build if their not made to stand the test of time they will poof the next visit or have 'xX  Xx'  around them.

Oh that's going to be a problem, thanks for mentionning it.

My little kingdom kickstarter worked, i claimed my new main hall as the lord of my forest house

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And my party members gladly accepted to be part of my project.


I guess us having butchered 10 elves bandits that were harrassing a town made them glad to be with me as i had to save their lives, bunch of inefficient bandit hunters .

Next step : expand my kingdom and getting more heartpersons to do the conquering thing. Though with how badly claiming things work with you losing your affiliation everytime to get the new claim, i wonder what kind of workaround i'm going to use.

make another adventurer that goes around to do the conquest for you then return to give your lord adventurer titles to other lands?
I think at this point you can possibly go pillage spree and not worry about Not finding a home to retire to now.

oh save often you might end up crashing the  game from messing with zones.
edit: if you put anyone in work at the site you need to talk them into following you again.

Note, if I showed you a screenshot of the floor below, there are like 20 corpses lying around.

Ever have one of those moments when you stop and ask yourself "is what I'm planning to do here, perhaps, too evil?"... yeah, me neither.

I got the idea to set up a cabin over a flat volcano, I got all the specifics set up, all buffed and whatnot while getting fame, and then I came across a town which was occupied by elves.

I went and told 6 or 7 soldiers about my kills, grabbed a couple of performers to round it out to an even 10, and headed out to the site where I had already planned out the construction while gathering the necessary lumber.

Sure, it would go a bit faster if I helped, but why would I pass up the chance to use elf slaves to build a volcano fort out of wood?


So I left them working and went to recruit some nice respectable dorf companions. I asked my dorfbuds to wait a short distance from the camp for reasons which will become clear shortly, then I went back and made the finishing touches in a couple spots they had to cancel apparently. Once I was satisfied I went ahead and tested to see if they would build below the surface of the magma, and yes in fact it can be done safely!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Notice the Z-1 view, the section on the right is below the surface of the volcano!

I'm happy that I can extend further down the tube in the future, but that means I have no further need for my carpenterslaves.

So, I politely told them that our journey was at an end, they were all understanding, until I dropped into a kung fu stance and in the blink of an eye sent half of them over the side through the fortifications.


The others tried to run, wanna guess how well that works against a superbuffed 10.0 spd adventurer?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

About like you'd expect.

So, with that out of the way, it was time to move my dorf buds in and settle down.

I made use of the non-wood carpenter shop products method to kill the rot, went with green glass since it goes well with the glumprongs I suplexed (which, holy crap, so much freaking wood!) and now it's a matter of getting everything all assigned and zoned and whatnot.

[ZM5]

Hoooly crap, now I gotta find a volcano in my world. Awesome idea for an evil villain adventurer site.

What do you mean by this? Can you mod it so you can actually use stones or is this a vanilla thing?

[TheFlame52]

And Adventure mode and Fortress mode take one step closer to each other.

[Random_Dragon]

Has anyone tested yet whether raised zombies, rescued children, and refugees from a soon-to-be-invaded town can be put to work?

Ohgod. Someone should get a slab to master a demon, and use him/her/hir/it for building a new settlement, then populate with prisoners, refugees, and other victims of the demon's goblin depredations.

And I guess I have to take a looooong break from DF until I can play the new version with DFhack.
Or just stick to current version and do this basically:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Guess I'll travel to some civ farther away and initiate a killing spree. Wonder how many kills I will end up with as there's already over a 50th on my drolth-sword. I like how npcs who don't know of my evil Dhorna yet or do kind of know say "let's not hurt somebody", oh I'm gonna hurt them alright!

[Random_Dragon]

I really now should start up an adventurer for the sake of making a demon build a home for wayward victims of goblins.

It'd be like the living anathema to the usual shit I get into in adventure mode.
