Before I started I was aware of some features in wrestling. But I didn't know about throwing your enemies. I think I have to try throwing goblins at other goblins and then using goblins body to beat remaining to death.

You can also exploit mechanics to essentially grab-and-shoulder-check enemies.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First initiate a grab. Normally if you hit any other key after selecting what body part you want to grab, you'll resolve the grapple attempt. But if your next keypress is the JUMP key, you'll resolve the grapple attempt then be at the "jump where?" prompt. Despite the fact that wrestling normally disables jumping.

If the grab is a success, and you jump INTO your victim, they'll go flying unless they can immediately break the grab.

So, rolled up a dorf adventurer to test whether other workshops can be used for crafting. Make a cave spider silk chair out of my hat at the forge, then figured out how to get to the surface, and stole some crap out of the trade depot. No one stopped me.

Now I'm visiting the hillocks, dancing for drunks so I can recruit them and maybe build a tavern. Because fuck these booze-less drinking mounds.

[ZM5]

Did the adventurer-site tavern actually work? And how did you pull it off?

Don't know yet, gonna check after I'm do a few years with my current fort - I designated the zone, so I'll see if there are visitors next time around. Admittedly I didn't get the tavern keeper job and neither did my companions, neither did I have any alcohol or instruments, so dunno - there were additional beds though.

Building over a volcano is simple enough, just gotta make a "bridge" out of wood and a platform for it there. The walls have to be next to the floor, though.

[Random_Dragon]

Yeah, lack of booze will be a problem. Since my dorf thief/bard just got eaten by cave dragon ambusher, back to my vampire boar man, soon to be a vampire necromancer. First time I visited the tower, I lolnoped out of there due to the HORDE awaiting within.

And soon, after that? I might see about that "make the world a better place by making a demon build houses" idea. Or a I might recruit a mob of drunks and build a tavern. Especially since THIS save is in Adventurecraft, so I can make booze.

EDIT: ...why are the necromancers dead now? D:

[Rumrusher]

so uhh trying to see the limits of building by trying to build an oceanfront, with a bridge that travels far into the sea.

[Droggarth]

EDIT: ...why are the necromancers dead now? D:

Agh! Me sides. You have no idea how I needed a laugh after what I've been through lately. One heck of a punchline if ya ask me!

*DF 0.43.02 rolls out* .. "Why are the necromancers dead now?" - Random_Dragon 2016

EDIT: And in DF 0.43.02 I just tried for the third time to craft a mastercraft dagger. You'll never guess what I got instead: 'chert hive' o_O

[Random_Dragon]

It's the punchline to my having earlier ran away from that tower, screaming like a little girl.

I now have zombie labor for my planned tavern of doom. But how to safely lock up by laboroers so I can renovate without disturbing customers, I wonder...

[TheFlame52]

Nothing much happening with Thomo Demonlord. I managed to find a platinum flask, so that's becoming a platinum warhammer right now. Also, I've become a legendary swordsman, so I'll start training warhammer right away.

[Random_Dragon]

Holy fucking shit, it is pretty much impossible to actually lock up undead companions. And my vampirism also started becoming a problem.

Moral of the story: exploiting undead labor is a punishment unto itself.

[TheFlame52]

Why not just own it? Raid a town's crypt, go off into the woods, and raise a necromancer tower to rival the Halls of Armok!

Because I need bloodbags too. I tried and failed to recruit a sparrow man soldier and build around him so he'd be stuck. :V

[TheFlame52]

I guess you can't run out into the wilderness and drink random animals?




That's got to hurt!

[Random_Dragon]

I guess you can't run out into the wilderness and drink random animals?

You can, but it's a pain in the ass. Easier if you could farm the bloodbags. :V

Also, bug of the day: Some standard creatures referencing the wrong body detail plan, leading to supertough wildlife.

tell them to wait in a broom closet? build another site and stash all the zombies there?

[TheFlame52]

I had previously killed a vampire and kept some of her blood. Just now I found a necromancer in a camp, holding a slab. SO FUCK IT I'M A VAMPIRE NECROMANCER NOW

[nogoodnames]

The dwarves are near extinction in my current world. There are only ~150 left, and their only form of civilization at the start was a minor bandit gang squatting in an abandoned hillocks. I've made it my mission to restore their civilization by gradually reclaiming old forts and building new ones. Unfortunately, both forts I've created so far were attacked and conquered within two weeks of retiring them.

My current adventurer is out to get some revenge.

To start, I besieged the necromancer tower responsible for killing my first fort, killing all zombies and murdering the necromancers. I plundered the secrets of life and death and set off to investigate the ruins of my fort. After the necromancers had taken the fort, an army of almost 5000 goblins had descended on the place. Turns out, they're still there. There are dozens of campfires along the mountainside, accompanied by several tents which each hold hundreds of goblins. I let some zombies loose on one tent but that turned out to be a mistake as my FPS instantly dropped to a tenth of its already grueling speed. Still, for the future of dwarvenkind, I intend to kill as many of them as possible.

Once that's done, it's on to find out what happened to the second fort. I fully expect to find another 5000 goblins.
