Awww, thanks Tomi, you even saved me the effort of going and hunting down that program
Not having a great time in my current fort (Joyous Wilds, I believe; lots of woodland
and on a volcano! My very first volcano!!). I was feeling down so I generated with more embark points (like, ~8k) so I could take a bunch of faedogs, and I'm down to two and one is crippled because my stupid ranger keeps going after unicorns.
Fortunately I have a couple of faepuppies running around, but I'm not sure if they're related—and come to that, does the animal AI even take inbreeding into account?
Just lost a raptor to a unicorn, too. And now the ranger's Miserable, because he lost so many of his pets.
well duh, urist mcdumbassGORGEOUS photo, Tomi!! And I am psyched about finally having lynxes in-game—they're one of my favorite animals and I do so love your critters.
*adds them at once!*
I think I'll give my non-giant lynxes [TRAINABLE_HUNTING], at least experimentally. I love the concept of war giant lynxes though, they're so 'delicate' for wildcats and yet being the size of a horse (which I didn't catch on the first read-through) totally makes them work.
[edit] Oh, do lynxes have any gfx yet? I'm guessing not, since they're brand-new, but I have to ask.
And for that matter do spirit ravens? I was thinking the latter might work with a recolored hercinia tile, if they don't have graphics already.
I'm so spoiled by various tilesets, I find letters really jarring...
I'm using the hunting dog tiles for faedogs temporarily, and then war dogs for war faedogs, since I never take regular dogs along anymore with all these other delicious options so there is no chance of confusing the two!
[edit2] God I'm using a lot of smilies tonight and not enough commas. Sorry, everyone. :<
[editIII] And while I'm rambling, I have recently fallen in love with
soundsense and everyone should get it if they don't have it already. I think even you would like it, Tomi, since IIRC you listen to new age(?) radio while playing, and a lot of the tracks are super mellow. Aside from that, they're all neat and kind of Viking-y, along the lines of Garmarna or Hedningarna (two of my favorite groups, for the record), and change randomly with the seasons, and there's even gorgeous rain+desert ambient sounds for when it's... well, raining (although that might just be gorgeous to me since I live in the desert
), although I never fail to crack up whenever it plays
Night on Bald Mountain* (usually during autumn, for some reason; Halloween?).
