Useful links Urist 12/22/14 (Mon) 09:23:55 No.2[Reply]

If you are new and have never played this game before, please read the quickstart guide (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Quickstart_guide).

Wiki: The Dwarf Fortress Wiki (http://dwarffortresswiki.org) is your most valuable tool for learning about the game. Toady One (the main developer) has stated that he himself had to consult it on various occasions.

Forums: Additional support can be found on the bay12forums (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php), Dwarf Fortress' official forum.

Bugs: Should you encounter a glitch that neither the wiki, nor the community forum could explain, report it as a bug on the bay12 bug tracker (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt).

Starter Pack: The Starter Pack (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126076.0) is extremely useful for beginners. It basically bundles all of the community utilities that make the game accessible to newcomers and improve your first Dwarf Fortress experience. See the link for more details.

Development: If you want to see what's the current plan for future versions of Dwarf Fortress, see the dev page (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html) that summarizes all the features that are most likely to get implemented in the near future.

DFHack: This incredibly useful tool acts as an "expansion pack" for the game, allowing the user to alter it in many different ways (such as fixing bugs, improving the UI, etc.). If you ever felt frustrated by the current user interface, download it right away (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139553.0) anPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Hi, I'm making a modification that adds lewd bits to dorf Fortress and it's just about ready for its first release!

Right now it's heavily work in progress; currently adding said lewd bits only to the species defined in creature_standard, but for them it's ready and you'll probably have fun with it. Pic related; it's two spaghetti-crotched kobolds who with the help of my mod have just been able to make love for the first time~

Ok I've thought about it for a bit and you could have them woohooing with the right people in the right place. Set up some kind of brazier workshop that when fed produces a cloud that when inhaled allows that sex interaction.Give the effect a duration short enough that they need to be in the cloud to be able to have sex and stick it in the bedroom of the couple you want sexing. When they go down for a nap boom they'll be bouncing that bed so hard you'd think they've got a slade warhammer in there.

Adventure mode Urist 10/23/15 (Fri) 13:05:26 No.109 [Reply]

How the fuck do I get famous in 2015?

Adventure mode stories.

>Just got back into DF 40.24 eager to play adventure mode and see the new updates after reading some re:Monster

>Go as a dwarf and get quite concerned about almost inability to get out of the fort I start in, I manage.

>Get the hang of it again and go hunting around for quests and find out about the new rumour system.

>I have a series of adventures, I do a raid on a dark fortress and kill 200 goblins, I kill the lord after making him pledge homage to my group - Lustfuldrinkers the deviant slayer of virginity.

(On an aside here my computer crashed the game a few times due to the thousands of goblins and when I went into the main dark fortress the trolls were killing all the gobs and ignoring me, I tend to just break necks with my hammer (breaking necks with 'only grazing' is stupidly OP with hammers) and clean them up by bashing their heads in on the way out so I probably lost many kills as the trolls got to them first… I couldn't find the kidnapped folks and feared the fps death… are they in the basements?)

>I massacre a half dozen score of bandits in various camps and lairs.

>I kill zombie cougars in the market square…

>Yet noone seems to give a fuck - "It was inevitable". It's almost impossible to find the right rumour to tell them about anyway as it is buried under all the eagle attacks weeks ago.

>I hear about a vampire who has killed 1315 and I think to myself; "that'll be a good kill, that'll do it."

>I go to the lord hall in the hamlet and the vampire is the law giver surrounded by lords and ladies.

>I talk to the lords and lady first however, I tell them about their vampire problem and they tell me how terrible it is, when I ask them about the ruler they tell me how the bloodsucker keeps them as chattel.

Slight update…..

Spreading the rumor of that vampire slaying to other lords will make them allow me to be a hearthperson when they would otherwise not let me.

The UI with rumors is completely pathetic in this case as you are going to have to remember which pages your important kills are on. I think you also need witnesses to an extent to even know it yourself as a rumor.

>While toying around with the art book code and poem/etc. composition, I thought I'd see what happens to an entire form created by an artist mid-world-generation when the only way the form can be passed around is between teachers, students and troupe members. Most of these non-civ forms tend to stay within a single troupe, but sometimes they break out. For instance, in a 200 year small world, we had a human from a hamlet named Usmen decide to run away from home and study goblin poetry. I guess he was troubled by their society, because it wasn't too many years before he introduced a new form of poetry in the year 106: a poetic narrative intended to teach a moral lesson. He and his master Zom Frothhate joined up with a few more goblins and founded the Tan Flies, and Usmen taught the whole group the new poetic form. A hundred years later, forty years after Usmen died of old age, the eight current members of the Tan Flies are still teaching moral lessons to their goblin buddies.

>They aren't the only ones though – back in 113, not long after moral poetry was introduced, one of the founding Tan Flies named Stasost Tongsdemons left the group to go study elven poetry under Narena Packedman, a renowned poet who had over twenty-five students and several major works over a century of activity. After a brief apprenticeship, Stasost went on to have five students of her own before becoming a noble ruling over some goblin pits in 131. Two of these students, Aslot Hatedtangle and Stasost Profaneace, were taught the moral lesson poetic form around the year 120. Stasost Profaneace is still alive, now traveling with the venerable Blockaded Horns troupe (founded in 35), though she has not yet successfully passed on the moral lesson form (her only apprentice to date was murdered).

>The other student of Tongsdemons, Aslot, was a one-armed murderous goblin farmer in the pits before becoming a poet at age one hundred eleven, studying under the future Lady for twelve years until she assumed rulership. Aslot was murdered in 162, but he had many students of his own and one of them, a human named Atek Housetactics was deemed worthy of the moral lesson form. Atek was born in 130, 24 years after the invention of moral lesson poetry, and learned the form in the year 150. After losing several apprentices to the perils of goblin living, Atek managed toPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
