how to get others to follow you EASILY. spoiliers
« on: July 08, 2010, 05:08:31 pm »

hello this is another confusing step by step guide in the world of Demon/creature summoning and what not.

note this uses runesmith or Dwarf companion of 31.# era. If you don't know about either of them then you will be totally lost because it heavily uses it, in fact the only other way you can get a demon is if the town has it as a prisoner which is rare.

edit:also I don't think runesmith was updated nor slavery enhancer so pulling this off in the new versions might not work. still

first thing get runesmith which won't be that hard if you visit dfmodding. or here
step 2.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

step 3. check for which version you are using
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
step 4. gen a world
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

step 5. finding a a poor sap to join
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

step 6 the main one ADVENTURE TRAIT!

step 7 talking to the poor sap to join there no asking when we know sap going to say yes.

step 8 save before you travel
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: "Hiddenrunestuff" (click to show/hide)

so you should be on your way to sitting back and watching your minions do your dirty work.
best to combine this with slavery enhancer to start a family or keep most of the embark party when you abandon, but explaining how that works is another thread.

edit:also by performing this you have now broke the game seeing how you now know how to brainwash anything with a speaking ability.

edit: oh kay so far you can ask any one who does not respond with sorry it's my duty.
I'm trying to find a loop hole to this that won't remove their ranks.
So far this can work with warlords, and mayors but not on chief medical dwarfs or diplomats.

Is it possible to get a megabeast, such as a dragon, to join you using this method? There's a frost wyrm (Genesis mod) I've got my eye on... I met it when it was losing a battle and saved it. I think it'd make for a good story if I "befriended" this dragon and we took on the world together. :)

well the catch is that you don't hit the beast or the beast hits you(if you killed the sap that hurt the megabeast then you are safe to test it out if not then best to get a adventurer not a part of the civ the last one was).
like people some don't like getting punch in the face before they where greeted.
also if you want wild animals to befriend you you might want to add can talk into their raws before you boot up dwarf Fortress.
if the frost wyrm in genesis (which I'm running on too) doesn't talk to you but stops chasing then fiddle around with runesmith a little you may even help me on getting these blasted nobles to join me. demons yes, demon kings not so much.

Well I saved where I was and then added [intelligent] to the dragons, but when I restarted he/she was nowhere to be seen. A few minutes later that adventurer was melted by lost adventurers. I've just been approached by another dragon that I haven't started battling yet. I'll test that one.

well intelligent adds can civ and can speak and some of the other can do stuff tags...
really all you need is can speak.
though losing the dragon, did you check the creature tab and the Misc to find and or teleport the dragon back. if so then puff the frozen wyrm could be dead and you may not have check the "see dead" in the view section.
also you didn't use Runesmith to snuff out those lost adventurers or better ask them to join you?
I don't know the full story on how you got melted by them but best of luck figuring out how to ride them.

I tried to run back to an underground lake I'd been in earlier so I could wash off the flies... I melted before getting there.

"view dead"? So... I could potentially bring things back?

kinda runesmith doesn't have a heal section yet and if you do revive them they would most likely die from the same wounds, the only few things you can do is turn them undead but then it would be just their souls.

*shrugs*

That would explain why the elves I genocide'd didn't get up.
