Look what embark DF vomited at me tonight...
« on: February 03, 2011, 04:51:10 am »

So, I embark on a haunted location to 'challenge' myself.

The clowns immediately honked their noses at me, which I found odd but not TOTALLY out of the ordinary. Well, I start zooming back up, and the circus is OPEN TO THE AIR. Literally, a giant rectangular hole 150+z's deep, with a giant.. MASSIVE pillar of slade protruding along one edge. What's funny about this slade pillar is it probably goes like... 1k+ z's ABOVE the embark zone. I don't know how far because I'm sick and tired of just holding down my up-z level key and waiting a second for it to pop up just one more level. It's slowing the game down HARD.

I.. I don't even know. The game isn't playable due to the FPS, but I figure some would love to check it out for the !!science!! aspect I'm sure. Too bad it isn't cotton candy, huh?

How would I give this one to folks to play with? I'm a tad new.

Edit: I'll look into uploading the info tomorrow when I have time. :)

Copy the region file, the whole thing, and post it on the DFFD (Dwarf Fortress File Database).  Before you do, make notes about where this is, so that people can find it easy enough.

Also, you wanted a challenge, huh?  Well, shazam!

Looks like the FPS is playable as long as you don't try to zoom up into the air too high to see just how far the darn slade pillar juts up to. Of course... clowns. =/

Beard Shaving was proposed as one method of dwarven justice.

Meh, looks like it's just superbugged. Every time I try to embark again now it just crashes. Ah, well.

The problem is probably just that during worldgen  or embark something changed something in your RAM memory this causes some very weird things to happen.

Sounds like an opposite adamantine spire, Armok sure has a weird sense of humor.

There are dwarves that are nothing but useless sacrifices - Miners are not one of them.

Sounds like a prime picnic spot for my adventurer.

That wasn't technically a miscarriage, but the doctors didn't have a concise term for "gave birth and immediately baptized the baby in liquid fire."
