That tileset is gradually eroding my eyes, I can feel it.
Bwheheh! Sorry about that. Then again it is a scaled-down version of the actual size of it:
I've always found it difficult to keep playing with the default tileset and colors. Basically the default tileset and default colors tend to erode my eyes, which is why I laughed.
edit:
Fought a cyclops to a standstill, couldn't cut him past the skin layer for some reason, kept stabbing and slashing away till he broke the hand holding the sword. Not wasting time to pick it back up, I punched him in the face, instantly shoving his skull through his brain... Guess I'm not a swordsman anymore, time to punch everything!
Heh, that's both hilarious and metal AF. I ran into a similar situation today before I built my tower.
One of my five companions (Qiraji swordsman) got chewed up real bad by worg ambush to a point I had to heal him with full-heal and my own attacks with a crappy copper naginata did bugger all so I resorted to throwing the useless weapon at one of the worgs to then do some punching and kicking along with gore attacks thanks to having horns. The other four of my companions were able to kill about two worgs, can't recall all that clearly though as I was busy aggroing the worgs and trying to keep my
workers/companions alive.
As for the companions I brought to help me build consisted of a lost one criminal, qiraji swordsman, ghoul swordsman, tuskarr hammerman and a twilight cultist crossbowman. The most diverse set of companions I've ever had in a long while. I found them all in the draenei town of Pageglimmers. Had to part ways with them after the construction was complete so they could spread the rumor about me. Crafted all of the ischronite gear as mastercrafts through reactions in my hall so they would all register in the legends this time around (and they did, checked), gauntlets I had to create with dfhack as usual though.
This time I also crafted a large dagger for more mundane tasks along with ischronite two-handed broadsword for some serious carnage and an ischronitium whip for quick but heavy blunt damage, the latter is my standard issue secondary weapon. What I'm really interested to do next is to gather kills with that two-handed broadsword which I made into an artifact quality after I gave it a name; 'Rageblade' aka 'Egoruunolaar' in draenei.
And yeah, I said two-handed
broadsword many times, it's my newest custom weapon which is about one quarter size of a two-handed sword larger. I imagine its blade being broader and only slightly longer while the handle and the pommel are thicker, heavier and sturdier. Unlike my one-edged drolth-sword the two-handed broadsword is double-edged, both swords are meant for a strong demigod.
I'm playing as a draenei who's appearance is mildly affected by fel magic but stabilized and perfected by my own ischromancy magic along with sacrificing a succubus to remove the uglyness of fel magic and keep her feminine look. The only thing that can be considered ugly is her larger body/body structure, thicker bones and increased muscle mass/density. She has no growths on her body and she is still a draenei, though an angular and an unusual one. She was originally on her way to becoming either a Broken or worse; a Lost One but thanks to unknown powers that be, the rest is history.
