Screw you, Talde
« on: January 01, 2012, 05:42:40 pm »
So I made a Demigod character the other day, and it turned out to be (what I thought was) the most successful Adventure campaign I've had so far. I was an axedwarf, and had a party of four others (plus myself) traveling with me and generally kicking ass. During the second or third raid on a bandit camp, one of my companions, a spearman named Talde, delivers the final blow on the bandit Chief. As I collect the various treasure laying around the camp, Talde runs off.

I assumed Talde was dead (a few other companions had died in the raid) and left the site. I went back to the town, and talked to someone to report the death of a bandit, but the "report success" option wasn't there. I asked about the surrounding area, and the man told me that "In 143 on the Hill of Stroking, Talde Baneswallow struck down Pan the warrior Cheif".

Shit. Talde got all the credit for killing him. I'm pretty mad, so I set off to travel north and find something to fight. I'm attacked by bandits, and after a long while of fighting, one of the bandits decapitates me.

I go to legends mode, and find out that while my only notable kills are for various henchmen and fighters, Talde became a hero and got all the credit for the death of the outlaws.

Damn.

I'm sure you can somehow exact revenge on him by killing all of his relatives, friends and lovers and burning their towns down, and feeding their ashes to caged elves.

People are generated on the spot in this version, they most likely do not have family.

I can second this. I slept in someone's house, when they interrupted me until I recruited all of them. Went to sleep in the empty house, new family spawned. Same thing happened when I recruited that family :P

You could always just kill everyone.

It's their fault for having a hero that wasn't you :P

Unless they live in a fortress. Anyone who lives in the main hall of a fortress is a notable historical figure. Of course, you usually don't see them because they have a tendency to get killed off by beasts in this version.

Although the last world I genned had a ton of them, about 8 or 9 in every fortress, most of them related in some way. I was even able to recruit a "Lord Consort"/husband of a local Lady as a companion, dude was a crazy good fighter.

Ah, yes, I thought something was amiss. Now I see. There's not enough terrible things in the lakes.

Ah.

Baring nobz....why do I have the temptation to make these exist?

Meh. Must be years of mad doctoring/torturing elven traders for no apparent reason.

Screw Him.
No, really. Track Him down, build a Fortress, and make a Corkscrew Device, and SCREW HIM.
