There seems to be a bug with several of the non-regular-flesh creatures, in that they can't be killed with conventional weapons.

Time to bring out the nukes.

The skinless hedgehog is sweet. Though, are the spines part of the skin? That kinda ruins the point of a hedgehog. No pun intended.

just had my first seriously bad-ass go in adventure mode.

They wanted me to kill a lizard demon, so I went to a tower, killed all the peasants I could find and a giant three-eyed hairy lizard with a swordswoman bodyguard chased me down.

I killed them both, and drank their blood for delicious nourishment.

<3 eeeee

I think the spines of a hedgehog are technically hair. Does skinless imply hairlessness? It's be pretty weird if it didn't, but then, it's not all that normal right now. And if it was flayed, but spiny, so the spines were dripping blood and suchlike, that'd be fine with me too.

Well, Fortress mode is running pretty slow on this comp. Right at embark, it's fluctuating between 25-45. The dwarves seem to be moving even slower than usual (for those FPSs), though.

Adventure mode is pretty fun. Right now, my elven swordsman is swimming in a giant series of interconnected underground lakes. Caves are really interesting, lots of dead ends, sheer drops and the like. Just came across a group of aquatic creatures called pond grabbers. While their appearance was unsettling, they were surprisingly weak. It wasn't long until tentacles were flying off in every direction.

I'm guessing that the high skill of migrants is related to the bug in which the "architectural value" of the caverns is counted towards the wealth produced by your fortress.

My theory: As fortress wealth increases, so does the average skill level of migrants.

If this is true, Toady intended the high-skilled migrants to come only after the fortress had produced a large amount of wealth.

Let us commit dwarven science and test this (after the cavern bug is fixed).

Also, why are barrels of blood a dwarf trade good, and what are they used for?

I don't know why everybody is bitching about having to irrigation farm. Same rules apply as before as far as choosing a fortress site,near water and lava, and now you can find that everywhere between the cavern and lava ocean, so just tap some of the water from above your head, there is plenty to go around.

Screw digging around on the surface, the underground cavern is my ground 0 now!

Immigrant skills can be a bit... eclectic.

The one on the right I can figure out easily enough. He's a religious disciple of Dasel, God of Peace. Clearly he once tried sniffing lye and was suddenly struck by the truth of Dasel and the oneness of all things. Instantly converted, he went to learn under the beards of the great lye-tokers of the mountainhomes, and in time has become a teacher of the Word himself.

The other one... I suppose gem cutter, glassmaker and observer imply he was a lens-grinder by trade. Perhaps he once infamously used his great glass discs to burn up a goblin siege [siege engineer], at which point he was given the title "foe reaper" [thresher], and decided to take the battle to the enemy. Now he stalks the goblin-infested jungles with a blowpipe and short bow, dodging from tree to tree, the Guerilla Optometrist Of Death Incarnate.

OH GOD NO!!!! Toady has heard us bitching about looking all over for a single good site in an entire map for good minerals, and even then looking hard in that site for anything and so has given us exactly what we wanted with MASSIVE amounts of ore! This is horrible! The art of looking for veins is dead! The biggest challenge of DF is over!

ABSOLUTELY AGREE! Everything is too common, and no fun. That good bit of realism is gone. What's worse - every embark site was similar to previous one, more or less, because of that. Nothing that cannot be modded, but..

Btw what the hell is with elephants, are they tend to be near dwarves or something? Curious animals? They are walking near and inside fortresses, weird image I hope there's no mad elephant disease in game possible..it would be mortal.

whenever possible she prefers to consume she

lol.

Figured it was only a matter of time before people started bitching about things being too common.  First too hard to find, and now too easy.  This is why I propose adding a parameter to world gen to be able to control how common ores and minerals are found.

[woose1]

Personally, I love how easy it is now.

More exploration, less grinding.

If I want easy game i'd play Tibia(gezzzuzz), you know..so far everyone is crying that hard beasts are hard(ridiculous).
Please, do not comment my post.

Hard monsters are hard, common ore is common, seems even to me! "Have all the steel you want!", says toady, "It won't save your ass this time!"
