I'm designing a new critter called 'Deon' which basically runs around the map and touches dwarves inappropriately and calls it 'inspecting the RAWs'

[Z1000000m]

Make it domesticated and make him steal drinks.
Also, noexert.

[Tarran]

Make him SPEED:0.

Oh, and make him able to fly too. Can't have dwarves escaping him by simply walking up a flight of stairs now, can we?

[TomiTapio]

Okay, I've just got my hands on a SKIDROW: Elemental, so expect more inspiration and probably new critters soon .

Perhaps you mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental:_War_of_Magic ?

[TomiTapio]

Deon, about the ironworks... crucible etc... why is it CUSTOM_SHIFT_S and CUSTOM_SHIFT_W, couldn't it be
a,s,r (add steel repeat), not a,S,r ?


Anyone want to try my no-caverns high-speed fort? I love high fps.
3x3 tropical forest and some evil biome. Only 3 levels below surface: soil, soil, stone with iron ores. No magma, no HFS!

Just went to 50 citizens, here is the region-folder: (13 MB zip)

Something is seriously broken with armor

My Artifact wielding Axedwarf with both BS breastplate and chainmail got hit in the upper body with a some crappy hammer and the only thing that counted as armor was his cloak.

Also Gargoyles are very weak. What kind of marble is it when a normal urist can shatter ribs with his punch.

[Deon]

Are you sure that the hammer was crappy? Hammers damage armor very good in general, swords would be blocked by armor materials.

And gargoyles are quite brittle, that's their main problem. Being unelastic, simple blunt blows dismember them.

Okay, I've just got my hands on a SKIDROW: Elemental, so expect more inspiration and probably new critters soon .

Yeah, and SKIDROW is the releaser name . It's a very well known corsair group.

[Medicine Man]

Hey anyone.What metal is better?black steel or red steel?

[Tarran]

Red steel is better than black steel in many ways. Although it's slightly heavier than black and has a higher Shear elasticity.

[Medicine Man]

It's better for warhammers if it's heavier so red steel ftw!

[Flaede]

OHGOD the SIEGERS in this mod are... well, I was going to say "inhuman!", but DUH. I am pretty sure I have 5 sieges at once, since I didn't go heavy military, and ambushers killed a caravan for each civ. I tried to be friendly, I really did! But butchering and cooking that dragon sent me WAY over the triggers on fort created value.

I am loving this mod. Really brought back the challenge, and is keeping me delightfully offbalance.

...also, I've gotta say: caged creatures still giving off their poison clouds is devious.

[TomiTapio]

That's from Toady. Maybe they should breathe fire and spit poison from cages too.

[Z1000000m]

I know that hammers generally are good vs armors, but the problem is that when that dude hit my dwarf in the upper body (both chainmail and breastplate cover that part afaik), it said that the hammer hit her through the cloak, totally ignoring the 2 layers of heavy armor in the process.

Also, just how effective is platinum for weapons? I find it quite funny and annoying that goblins run around with masterwork platinum spears.
Seriously though, why even the most generic goblin enemies have such high quality items?

[Eagle_eye]

platinum is pretty much craptastic for anything but blunt weapons.
