Ridiculous Genesis Luck
« on: February 01, 2011, 02:09:33 am »
Well, I decided to do a challenge game, and made the most relentless environment and world I could, with 6 things at war with me. My game plan was that 6 would be military, and the seventh would be a hermit, and forced to do every task alone for all 7 dwarves until immigrants arrived.

Although I started this without much in the way of expectations, when I embarked on my sandy hell I found I had a bunch of stone dwarves. Good, good. Then... I find a STEEL dwarf. Amazing! Strength and agil are off the charts, and toughness is maxed. The other 6 are stone, as well.

Well, I manage things well enough, butchuring the pair of muskox and managing to get by until summer. Then I get 2 immigrants. My initial thought is that hey, that's triple the amount of work done, I can start digging deeper and maybe give my military dwarves more then training weapons and no armor. Any ore would be nice!

...one of the two is flashing. It's a legendary Armorsmith.

Has the grace of the dwarven gods embraced my mission of high challenge? I've never got a Steel on embark before OR a legendary armorsmith migrant, let alone one of two in a wave. I shall triumph! Anyone else get some good RNG from this mod?

i think i get a steel half of all the embarkations
but never really get any dwarfs i want from the initial two immigrations..
but i remember once i get three obsidian and five jade dwarfs from the first three immigration..
so i trained those obsidians into marksdwarfs/fisherdwarfs/hunters....

He's using the genesis mod.  Each dwarf has a caste like steel, rock, obsidian, each cast has certain abilities.  Steel is very strong and tough, obsidian has a natural light source and can throw fireballs etc.  As you can imagine some castes are more desired than others, steels make especially good fighters which is really helpful for his embark

I'll say this about the Genesis mod: It makes it a lot easier for you to practise eugenics.
