[quote who="RandomEasyPlayer" reply="24" id="2647498"]My mate on whose also on these forums, gwakamoli keeps suggesting this game to me. Now im nagging him to set me up and give me advice Im a total newbie however so i guess playing in this succession game will mean i will fail[/quote] As am I. If you'd like to set up before or after me, let me know. It'll likely be long enough into the game and stable enough that you can at least run it and keep everyone/most

I've been fiendishly working my way through the forum archives (got through SG1-4,6 and am currently finishing up Headshoot) since Boatmurdered got me into Dwarf Fortress a little under a week ago. I don't have any ridiculously awesome stories (just ridiculous ones, like accidentally flooding my entire fort with lava while failing to understand magma cannon construction.) but soon, soon.

Sucky players in a moderately dangerous environ just means more Fun. Myles, I added you to the list in front of me. I had to stop myself from penciling you in as Monty because I forgot your name when I went to edit, despite loving your posts. Bill, strike the earth, and godsspeed.

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="17" id="2647349"]I like The Anvil of Autumn, I think I'll name it that. If nobody has any complaints with the Starting Build, I'll get started then. Don't worry though, I can still change Dwarves' names.[/quote] I like the name. Mmm, I don't see anything wrong with your embarkation package, but keep in mind I say this from the stage of noobs (I like that I'm the woodcut

Orvidos, profession non-important. Though being an eventual militia dwarf and either butchering my way through half the scenario, of being reincarnated and rebutchered every time immigrants came through. . . Yeah; Orvidos, w/e, militia to be sacrificed for great glory whenever possible As for a group name, people are welcome to give ideas, or vote on one of these. (Or you can haul off and pick one/make whatever you like) - The Anvil of Mas

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="8" id="2647259"]Well, anyone want a dwarf? Just say what name you want, and a custom profession if you please. Just don't complain when you die a horrible, bloody death. Edit: Well, it won't let me choose Starfisted, would Starfist be fine? Or Starfists?[/quote] Starfist is great. Also, anyone that bothers to read this and isn't playing; If you'd like to die horribly in Starfist,

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="6" id="2647247"]I'm aware of graphic sets, but honestly I prefer the good, old, ASCII. Of course, if anyone else want to use them, that's fine, but I'll stick to the ASCII.[/quote] I wanted to get going as fast as I can. I'm reading a bunch of old succession forts AAR threads and puzzling out the ASCII. I'll likely strip the tileset once I feel comfortable reading the screen at a glance.

[quote who="lokideath" reply="4" id="2647241"]Have you tried Mayday's Graphical pack ? It can be useful if you are planning to make AAR. Even non-player can easily understand what's going on. http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php[/quote] I'm using it. And will have it for my AAR screenshots.

The title says it all. We, here at the Stardock forums, will be playing at least 1 game, of succession Dwarf Fortress. CURRENT TURN: Iteuniso This list is currently a meager five people: Bill_Door Iteuniso Myles Pbhead Myself/Orvidos Anyone that has played Dwarf Fortress and would like to join, is absolutely welcome. (I only have 3

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="140" id="2647200"] If we have them, the wiki says there quite rare. But there bones are worth 6000. Or at least masterwork skull totems are. I agree about making a new thread, would you like to do that or should I?[/quote] Threaaaaad goin' up!

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="137" id="2647182"]As long as there are some trees, we should be fine. You can order plenty from the caravan, the elves and humans bring a bunch if you have low amounts, and there's always the caverns.[/quote] Then I see no reason not to start butchering merpeople immediately! We're spamy mcspamsalot'ing this thread. We might want to start a new thread in PC Gaming.

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="135" id="2647149"]Ok, I've found another one I think is decent. 115 z-levels deep too! [/quote] That's damn shiny! My only concern is lack of trees, but if an earlier player (at this point you , Bill and then Tormy) knows ways around that, I'd be happy to bow down to your superior knowledge. Keep in mind I'm basically nit-picking at this point because of lack of knowledge. So whatever will work, I can probably do something w

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="133" id="2647116"]Here's two I've whipped up: Opinions? Do either of these two look good to anyone? [/quote] Unfortunately, upon further perusal of the Legends for the world, the vomit monster was killed by a dragon, as far as I can figure. It got in a duel with one and was never heard from again, so. . . As for either of those locations, I'm not massive fans, but the first I would definitely prefer. &n

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="131" id="2647067"] I'll see what I can do. I'll probably go untamed wilds for medium amounts of Fun, should be fairly dangerous since Toady fixed teeth, horns etc. being as strong as skin. And flux, sedimentery, etc.[/quote] Medium Fun is well and good. I just don't want a Boatmurdered or something worthy of the Hall of Legends, just yet. Editosity: I genned a world for the purpose of an A

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="129" id="2647027"] Sounds good. If you want someone to gen the world, I'll do it: with my i7 920 I can crank em out pretty quick. Just tell me what kind of site you want. Or I'll decide, but it would be nice to know how hard people want it.[/quote] As long as it doesn't end up raping me in half and stuffing me through a mailbox (IGN.com) I'm fine. IE, Not Terrifying. I only have the Complete and Utter Newby Tutor

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="125" id="2646965"] Well, I only started with 31.03, so I'm no expert. BTW, we're gonna do this in DF2010, right? Or 40d? I'd prefer 2010, because I find it much more Fun.[/quote] I'm fine with 2010. I just need to figure out how to hook MayDay's into it and muck with the resolution, since the version I downloaded seems to be immune to my doing so. Other than that, I'll make a thread i

[quote who="Bill_Door" reply="122" id="2646928"] Quoting Orvidos, reply 121Oh dear lord. We seem to have quite a few DF players. . .dare I suggest a Stardock succession fort? I'm game. At least it'll give us something to do while we wait for Beta 2.[/quote] Keep in mind I've only just gotten into it, so I'd want to be somewhere low on this list so when/if I screw up, someone can load the prior save.

[quote who="Circumstantial" reply="40" id="2646921"]I dont understand what is out of order here. They perfectly performed a level 5 evasive tactical maneuver.[/quote] *Large groan from the entire audience* Well played, knave.

[quote who="caross73" reply="118" id="2646871"] This is a masterful engraving of a dwarf and two elves. The dwarf is butchering the elves. [/quote] "Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of an elephant by 'Sankis the Beardless' Gatinbomrek. The elephant is in a fetal position." Remember, it's not fun if someone isn't melting in magma. [quote who="Tormy-" reply="120" id="2646896"] Oh boy....I'm off

[quote who="TarponCrest" reply="104" id="2646701"] Quoting lwarmonger, reply 102 Quoting Hawks282, reply 88And people hate elves why exactly? Insofar as I am concerned, people hate elves because they are evil, hateful creatures with few to no redeeming qualities. At least that is how they are on Discworld. You are all talking about Drow I was starting to get confused for surly you know the noble qualities of the Averil Elves and the neutral na

My primal fear is that this video is to draw our attention away from the lifeless corpse of Beta 2 being hauled back into the workshop by paramedics. (It's a Frankenstein monster, don'tcha know.) Either way, I lol'd.

Hegemony: Philip of Macedon is like SoaSE in Ancient Greece without the base-building, and I think a tad bit more strategic depth. If you're looking for space 4X, you aren't going to find another 4X-RTS until Star Ruler (as far as I can tell). Good 4X space games include; Sword of the Stars (Thank you acare) Space Empires 5 Distant Worlds Funnily enough, without intending to, that list is more-or-less

The only worthy thing in this thread is the fact the Disciples 3 was a failure? When was it released ?

[quote who="Ellestar" reply="51" id="2641988"] It's difficult to to implement. At best, it will look like AI is adaping, but it will be programmed to do so, it will not do it itself. Also, a game should have effective scouting. So to adapt to something, AI should have a way to know about that "something" (like, the fact that you're defenceless). Surprisingly, most 4X strategies are reactive - you see something happening and you adapt to what already happened. There isn't many
