It's beautiful, like Hercules and a goat had a baby.

How viable is the coffin loop in the current version?

I'm talking about where you'd stuff every dead enemy into the same coffin and use it as a weapon. each enemy added trains your strength more and more importantly makes the coffin more devastatingly lethal as it's weight is increased

works up until a you piss off a necromancer, mummy or roam into an evil reanimating biome.
you pretty much bypass the weight issue with riding a mount which opens to being able to stuff more corpses into a coffin.

It feels good getting an adventurer to legendary in their main weapon skill, without doing the usual wrestling stat grinding that I always do. I've created a legendary swordsman with nothing but the sword used for fighting, and no armour too.

I've also relearned that enemies with full iron armour ( which honestly feel impenetrable even with an iron short sword ) all have a weakness as long as one's skill is high. The throat will always lead to bleeding out, it's just a matter of landing the hit. And with legendary, that's nothing.

ok so from last time I ended up making a slight mod based on kit fox games' boyfriend dungeon where folks turn into weapons and decided why not add back in the art's beings from years ago and cats as test subjects for the living sword transformation interaction... the end result led to talking cats that need to eat. which leads to the image where I got a talking cat that hungers for meat
that I can only sate their appetite by getting another adventurer to gift them meat and I shuffle back into control of the cat hauling food and make them eat it.

oh and said cat while controlling them won't talk but while controlling other adventurers the cat Uquir will respond back. 


edit:





ok so recently decided to check out the rep system to figure out how it works since I got time to spare for 47.05.
ended up learning that adv groups and followers will get the historical event of climbing a summit, but doesn't seem to add a talking point if you do so just adds to your legends.

then realize the rep system might be tied to noble agreements or some other hidden value that I'm missing because one person would be starstructed while the others will be apathetic to your presence.

... crud I really should have check in fort mode what the relationships roles the locals gave to the adventurer since it's independent.

any way here's the bogeyman adventurer I climb a mountain with.

Very cute.

[Rumrusher]

well currently still playing 47.05 and testing the stability of tofort script with this modded save.
so far seems like the making a fort then switching to adv mode seems to be the less headache-y way to do this.
but to the actual adventurers I been playing a group of fiends going from lair to lair living with a bunch of cats who after some years balloon the population to about 48+ and a few folks I pick up along my journeys.
rolled up to an elven location that has folks evacuating from something I didn't dive deep to figure out... used this moment to pick up like 2 more folks to join the nomad group and currently arrived to an elven tavern where this screenshot taken place.
I was a bit surprised to see this as an alternative 'no' response for wanting to join for adventurers.

oh yeah the custom petition script works wonders with the fort to adv back to fort set up as the expedition leader is always in the party.

My elephantman vampire is able to carry around the corpse of a hill titan as a weapon, without any loss in speed.

Anything I hit is immediately either knocked several tiles away, or immediately pulped.

I'm currently travelling to a dragon on the other side of an ocean, hopefully I can kill that and use it as a club.

Done with the power training portion of the adventures of Aye Typhoonroot the White Suitor and Renuna Leafytress the Umber Leap, onto the monster hunting portion.

There was a cave with three giants, two being the children of the mother giant. So Renuna used a steel bolt to mortally wound the mother giant while stealthed, then snuck up on one of her children (who happened to be in the same room). During Renuna's approach, the giant waxes poetic about death but just as I think the jig is up.... the giant continues staring at the wall. So we stab this giant in the foot and spill their guts with the same bolt. The usual.

Aye happens to be a bit of a storyteller, so thinking it'd make for a better story, I end up using the mother giantess's skull to beat her last child to death. At this point I'm trying to accrue more kills with that skull just for the giggles. Up to 3 for now. Even better, Legends keeps track of how many kills that skull has accrued. What a great game 

[Jrleebus]

I have a save somewhere where I have a badass kobold who can break limbs with a single punch and has over 300 notable kills, including a bronze collosus.

Made a new character, a human swordsman. Start in a town, while I'm looking around for companions, I see a strange looking building. I get a follower, a dwarven axeman, and check out the building. It's a rectangular ditch with statues around it, as well as doors leading underground. I go through one of the doors, look around a bit, but don't see anything. While I'm leaving, a hand attacks me. Me and my partner fight it, and then a bunch of animated body parts and a mummy appear. Turns out a rectangular ditch with statues is a tomb. We start fighting, and eventually some more warriors come down to help. They must have heard the fighting and decided to help. Anyway, we eventually killed the mummy, but I was bleeding heavily and couldn't use my legs. I was able to crawl out of the ditch and tell a random butcher about it, and then I died. So yeah, that was fun.

[TheFlame52]

Yeah, you went into a temple, then into the catacombs. You woke up the mummy by stealing his grave goods.

Returning to Dwarf Fortress after around a two year hiatus. Curious to see how things have changed, I have just stepped in as a simple Dwarven warrior. Debating between a run where I attempt to bring the world into a dead age or just walk about and look at trees. For now trees I suppose.

Best way is to wrestle a turkey or other small animal with your shield and armor equipped, get them to "brawl" combat level, let them attack you.
