What the hell is going on here? Is this a bug or something? Anyone else has this problem?
14 year old fortress, 125 year old default map parameters, 192x192 tiles embark size, 484 dwarves, year 14, 3x3 u/d stairway from top through 3 open caves to bottom, circus wide open and visiting, cavern 1 draining through multiple waterfalls over statues and a 100 block drop into cavern 2, 40+ maximum size stockpiles, inhabited layers almost completely dug out with minimal doors or hallways outside of bedrooms, no atomsmasher, waypoints, no optimizations, no idle dwarves. 6 fps!
>>147213532
...is not a glitch, it shows you your relative skill level. Bad terrain, pain, etc. can reduce your skill level from legendary to accomplished.
>>147213615
Oh! Is this a new feature? I never had this in 42.06.
>>147213678
Its """"""""""""""new""""""""""" in the sense its a part of the new combat system (pulping, observation of forecasted enemy actions, rapid/wild/power/accurate attacks, etc. etc), it was definitely in 42.06.
wew lad
>>147213180
I recommend just sticking with 43.04 until next version comes out.
>>147214764
I meant 43.03, lol.
>>147212469
Is there a Noldor elf mod that makes them wear adamantine/super strong and fast?
Also how is the 64bit version, is it any better?
>>147215810
64 bit version handles larger ram allocations and whatnot, seemed a bit faster during later years of world-gen, seems faster during high population area visits with adventurers.
is there a thread/page dedicated to hardware that gets the most out of DF?
eg. Should I put DF on my SSD?
>>147222520
Page swaps aren't going to be the biggest hit, it's cache misses from the CPU to RAM that hurts DF, then page swaps from RAM to disk.
bumpin' 'n lovin'
reminder elves are so weak they can't even trample grass
>>147215810
Originally elves in Masterwork had mithril as their thing, which is like adamantine lite (steel strength but more lightweight), now he's trying to make it more like a vanilla+ thing; that is, having races be like in the core game but moreso, a la civilizations of FB, titans, night creatures, necros, etc.
>>147232708
I wish night creatures/random generated monsters could replace normal creature populations.
>>147232926
Normal creatures as in civilized or normal creatures as in random ass fauna?
>>147232947
I'd be happy with either.
>>147206034
'I'nteract with the weapon.
Or just move, since that's less keystrokes.
>>147234394
Didn't it used to be the case that you could twist weapons to inflict pain? Is that gone now?
>>147233382
Well ok, yeah in Masterwork you can enable/disable whichever races you like, and you can have no goblins, humans, or elves, and just night creatures, necromancers, forgotten beasts, and titans if you like, or what not.
>>147212469
Alright /dfg/, time to step up your game. Make a new fort, it can only export animals and tamed vermin. Animals and tamed vermin, not their products. Not 3689986 dorfbuck roasts of their meat. Not their 25892598 bux egg roasts. Just the animal or vermin.
Theme is you're a band of animal poachers off to get rich selling pets and exotic pets to dwarves in the homeland.

When I get to a new map I build a quick little wooden hut around the starting wagon, then dig a ditch around the map.
>>147234537
yeah, I always see goblins twisting their swords in me, how can I do that?
>>147234537
Is there a way of limiting what's Active in Masterwork?
I tried it once before but didn't really enjoy the billion things it added and I'm too lazy/stupid/busy to mod.
>>147236194
Yes. The new version is much more moderate, and there's a loader that lets you do just that.
>>147236285
neat.

Words fail me.
Is it normal that human nobles have such titles as Holy Cancer and Great Tumor?
>>147236690
Those are probably religious leaders following gods of deformity and disease.
I don't use many crossbow types. Anons, have you ever seen crossbow hits inflict a pulping?
>>147236690
>Holy Cancer
That's some WH40K shit
>>147236924
I remember causing collapses with thrown knives and spears so you should be okay. If stuff's getting reanimated you shouldn't be remaining in the first place.

>>147238136
I don't think I have the burrow configurations for madness of this caliber. Try uh, try settling in that valley without a pop cap to reestablish the dorf civ then you can embark elsewhere and get solid migrants to leapfrog around.
>>147236690
>Is it normal that humans have such titles as Cancer and Tumor?
Yes, for that is all humans really are.
>>147238262
One thing that intrigues me is the way that if you abandon a fort, and embark somewhere else with the same civ, you will often see your old derfs as the first migrants.
I'm not a fan of migrants at all but if you have a ded civ you can use this to tailor pick what your two migrant waves will consist of.
>>147238262
I found a nice cliff face. Frequent klobad blood rain but only wildlife so far is a mountain goat (living)

Getting people inside and building a small wall around the entrance to try and keep the needed migrants alive for slavery
>>147222520
Make a server out of macbook pros and run it from there
Give me strength /dfg/, this Forgotten Beast is being a really sneaky cunt.
Stays in the water just waiting for an opportunity to fuck my shit up. Any Dorf that waltz by gets snib snabbed before shitting back to the water, so I have basically had to mass forbid half the map just to keep Urist McCunt from getting himself killed.
Playing an extinct civ, the last refuge of the Dorfs, I really don't want to lose any Dorfs if I can help it.
1/3
>>147239247
I could just wall the fucking lidless fox in, but that is a cowards strategy and he has made a fool out me to the point it is personnel. I can no longer stand to see that thing alive in my unit list.
I've set up a catapult hoping to conker this cock but the dipshit engineer balks whenever it comes that close. Also way too unreliable.
And finally the real reason I can't fucking kill this thing.
2/3
>>147238567
Yeah, it used to bother me too but it's too much work to do a "king's expedition to build a forward base in evil lands". Plus with new combat, half of your superdorfs are gonna get killed regardless.
>>147239247
Just wall it off? Your well will be pulling water with a screw pump through a grate with no path to it from a fortification with a raising bridge shutoff filled cistern.
Do you have an aquifer? Is it a flier with breathes fire? run around the edges of the cavern carving fortifications with 1 tile walkways. Patrol marksdorfs and they'll eventually kill it. Then just pump stack magma into the cavern to boil shit up until you have control of the cavern. Wall up the edges, set traps and a barracks in the border gatehouse and station a squad. Add a lot of wood doors and a bait animal or 3 so you know when your guys get rolled.
>>147239360
Webs. Fucking Webs.
All the Adamantine Armor in the world can't help you if you can't move, and the shit head can break your neck using just the impact force.
Marks dorfs can't hit reliably because it fucks off to water. Melee Dorfs get killed en-masse because it fucking sprays and prays before making the kill. Siege weapons can't hit the bitch and can't trap the cunt because that would require sacrificing someone when I can't afford any more losses.
>>147239515
>Beware its webs!
>>147239515
Channel a hole in the roof near the waters edge. Pit a bunch of animals in to draw it out of the water the fuck its asspussy with 70 marksdwarves with sufficient ammo.

>>147239491
>Yeah, it used to bother me too but it's too much work to do a "king's expedition to build a forward base in evil lands".
I'd just have an adventurer do it. Then he can become a migrant.
>>147239745
I just used Masterworks swamp world
>>147239515
Have you tried draining the cavern?
>>147239515
Why not just collapse a few z-levels of cavern above it?
Although personally I would just leave it and build an alternate route around it.
>>147240117
I could do that, but then I would lose the only source of water in the entire map. A barren husk of a wasteland with every city burnt and ruled by Goblins and their Demon overlords.
>>147240147
Yeah, this is another good one. Mine out the roof, channel your plug and assblast it.
>>147240242
It's map edge isn't it? It'll refill. If it isn't, use fortifications to drain it all into a cistern.
>>147240242
How did you generate this world?
How annoyed are you that you did it before Toady's new hostility slider?
>>147240417
He said it was from Masterwork's swamp world.
>>147240332
This is the plan lads, I'm going to throw a rock at it.
And by rock, I mean the ceiling.
Try and web that away you utter knobhead.
>>147240510
I'd recommend fortifications in the wall and pitting a ton of animals but whatever
>>147240510
Good lad. Dropbear made of solid rock will kick his shit in.
>Cavern 3 FB
>Deadly dust
>Super dense cavern
>No marksdwarves

I don't think a brush fire will kill him but it's all I got. Magma soon
>>147240568
Bit late for fortifications m8. See how the cunt has cozied up to the side of the caverns there? If I forticate that wall, the whole hall will flood. Whilst sticking a sword in his gut will be a hell of a lot more possible if he is unable to web and swim at the same time, I aint' gunna let him bloody me anymore.
Here is the dropbear package.
>>147240851
If your caverns seriously 1-z high? you got a range of 20 tiles -1 for every z drop.
>>147240904
Really fucking low z- levels on this map.
I hit Magma on 23-z, adamantine on 27-z
>>147240851
Im so excited for this
>>147241507
This must be what the Coyote felt like in a Road Runner cartoon.
The little shit didn't even feel it. Dropped four blocks on him, he didn't budge. Dropped four levels worth of rock on his stupid ass and didn't do shit.
All I learned is he actually really can swim and shot web at the same time. It was a noice shot lads, but we are back to the drawing board.
>>147241718
Drop more is the only answer
>alternatively you can set up a pit zone where the hole is and throw rocks down at him
>>147241718
If it didn't do shit then you missed. Cave-ins are 100% fatal to 99.9% of the creatures in the game. Ghosts are the onlyexception. On account of being ghosts.
>>147241718
You missed then. Cave-in's are pretty much the only way to kill shit like an adamantine FB. Was the plug at least 2-z tall?
>>147241718
you missed it, cave-ins are fatal
show his page, he should at the very least be hurt
>>147241909
Throwing rocks is always an option, but this fucking furry always giving me this stupid look on its face has unleashed my inner sadist.
So the shit parked himself right to the shore did he? Well he can web like a cunt and swim like a duck but he is still bound by Toad Physics.
Some hapless dwarf I make dig the wall in front of him will make him get dragged down a nice corridor I made special, I'll make sure to welcome him with style with the very best spears and axes engineered to swing at the right moment.
Fuck I'll even throw in an anvil for kicks.
>>147241996
>>147242050
>>147242073
How did he miss when the crumbled rock is on top of where the FB was??
Does the water have an effect?
>>147242154
Pit animals to bait him out of the water then fuck him up.
>>147242159
>>147242073
>>147242050
>>147241996
>>147241909
I haven't the foggiest lads, all I know is when I drop the rock it turns into smoke the moment it hits the water.
In other ACME attempts I have a huge hall of ACME products all getting ready to try and shake hands with our uninvited guest.
>>147242159
>crumbled rock
You imbecile, this kind of fuckery is what makes evil overlords off their minions. You can't even kill right. Those are fucking pebbles. You need to drop wall tiles.
Alright, should I become a vampire first, or a necromancer?
>>147243495
Being a vampire makes becoming a Necromancer infinitely more achievable.
>>147243495
Vampire. If you're cool with savescumming, just topple some shrine statues until you get cursed with vampirism(if you don't see living entities through walls immediately you're a werebeast)
Necromancers will be cool with you if you're undead and basically give you their books, if you try to approach them as a human their minions will attack you.
>>147243495
You can only become a vampire or werebeast if you are not a necromancer. So always vampire first.

Legend everything and even then you should be outrunning and shooting when they're far enough away, throwing when they aren't. You'll get crippled and gangraped or instakilled by a horn gore or hoof kick eventually. If you bothered to train climbing up with macro's, light the grass on fire, set dodge to stand ground, tree yourself, then just keep forcing them to throw themselves off the tree until dawn. Throw bolts or knives when you can.

I love how gobbos, despite their kill neutrals ethic, never attack the non-mercenary visitors in your tavern.
In the first 0.42 releases, where sparring was fucked and sieges actually challenging again, I had my fort viped out at two occations, and both of the times, the gobbos would go into the tavern, cut down all of my dorfs in there as well as any merc who fought back, and just leave the visiting performers alone.
I bet visiting performers are the war photographers of the DF world, and enjoy some kind of diplomatic immunity against invading armies.

A fun thing for adventurer mode is when a human city spawns so that it expands through evil lands, and so the sewers, dungeons, catacombs, etc. are in a reanimating biome. As a result, there's not just bandits in the sewers, but skellingtons!

Here you go!
Now I'm gonna be gone for a bit but I will return later
A forgotten beast spawned in the caverns below my fortress, which I'd accidentally flooded a while ago. It's trying to swim against the flow to reach the staircase that the water is coming from, but it's not making any progress. So I eternally have a forgotten beast on my map.
Does this help me?

I've been playing an incubard in masterwork and this reminded me of something.
>>147271079
The crying bit anyway.
My dude had a tigerman friend who followed him around and did bodyguarding and stuff, and then he died to gobbos. My character apparently cried nonstop for weeks. Is that normal?
>>147272874
Virtually any adventurer who can cry, will be crying forever. Any strong emotion whatsoever will make the character cry.

I flooded only a part of my Caverns 1, I still can dig past it. I'm just wondering whether there's any benefit to keeping the beast alive but trapped.
Is all the stuff about big updates taking years real or a meme?
>>147274463
>Is all the stuff about big updates taking years real or a meme?
It's totally real. Source: I've been here since 2d forts.
>>147274463
Recently Toady has been doing very fast work, but the jump from 34 to 40 (appropriately) took fucking forever.
So strength, as well as eating a lot and doing little (extremely easy for fort denizens, seemingly impossible for adventurers despite eating 100x as much food or more), can increase size via thickening muscle and fat tissues respectively.
Anyone know by how much? What's the most grossly distended cancerous mass of hypertrophic musculature you've seen in dwarfdom, and what was its size?
It takes longer and takes more power to worldgen a world that is larger, but would playing a game in adventure mode be slower on a bigger world as well?
>>147275318
Yo mamma.
Two tiles
>>147275536
No, but certainly the two week pause when starting or stopping a game will take longer.
What determines adventuring mode's FPS is largely pathing issues, cavern size, number of materials/complexity/etc (the alpalca bone thing), how many fuckers are around (there's always going to be a fairly decent amount of creatures wherever you go, as everywhere on the planet there are creatures in the cavern and absolute hordes of demons beneath your feet).
Rare creature sighting.
>>147274463

The next big update will take 2 years MINIMUM

What IS the next big update tho?

Nah, outpost liaisons die all the time. It doesn't mean anything. You press c to look at your civ's nobles. If there are only a few, or many of them are goblins then you might start worrying.
>>147270654
That doesn't apply to your home civ. They can reach you almost anywhere you embark. Your embark would have to be completely sealed at the map edges or have edges composed entirely of water/magma to keep the diplomat and caravans from coming.

>We've posted the new development page with artifacts and myths. This is the culmination of years of work on Dwarf Fortress and our other projects which never saw the light of day. We've been playing around with magic systems for years, ever since DRAGSLAY.BAS, and are looking forward to finally being able to place the dwarves into a more meaningful, mysterious and exciting universe!
>We'll start in on an artifact release once the 64-bit versions are complete. We might get away with one release there, but the myth/magic dev items will almost certainly happen over multiple releases, and we won't get to everything on the first pass.

2 years is too much, he already has a functional prototype for the myth generator.
The starting scenarios, which will be after the magic/myth release WILL be too much, because they plan on adding a lot of different stuff

I've literally never had this happen before. What could it mean?
>>147281215
Seriously? It's a human town.
oh no
>>147281747
Nigga he said he's never seen it before. Fuck you mean seriously?
>>147281895
This is the entire fight.
>>147281215
Mid sized human town, towns are probably the most badass single location in the game as they have markets, shops, taverns, dungeons, sewers, catacombs, keeps... especially check out the keep, there may be free stuff.
>>147282504
Cut that bitch in half
Wow I've never thought to make an elephant beast adventurer, this ought to be great. Can't wait to have him build a nice preliminary fort for some dorfs, and have him retire to be their protector.
>>147268237
Gotta love when tombs are like this.
>>147282309
>Fuck you mean seriously?
His wording implied that he believed he was experiencing an aberrant worldgen result, which further implies that he would have enough experience to be able to determine whether or not a result is aberrant, when in fact he was expressing surprise and confusion at an incredibly common map feature. If I received a quarter in change after a financial transaction, then turned and asked the other people in the store to identify this mysterious object I had discovered, I would expect at least some of them to be similarly incredulous.
>>147282690
We're gonna eat it.
>>147283212
I generated many, many worlds before I got a city result, so...
>>147283204
>>147283494
Yeah, me too, but cities used to be pretty rare due to a bug. They're a lot more common now that they don't get genocided by vampires.
>>147272965
Remember, if you're constantly depressed and on the verge of tears almost daily, it means you're just a player character in a dwarf fortress like game.
One of my dwarves got bit by a wereantelope. Thanks to the quarantine measures I took, he didn't get a chance to attack anyone else, but now I'm facing the prospect of keeping him isolated indefinitely. Any suggestions on what to do with him?
Also, does he need food and water, or does the monthly transformation keep him alive?
>>147283717
Well, cities that weren't sacked, though I always had a higher than normal population of cities since I had dorfs make them too.
>>147264969
Wait seriously? That exist?
>>147285034
>Also, does he need food and water, or does the monthly transformation keep him alive?
He won't need to eat or drink.
I'm pretty sure they don't go insane either (maybe stress & needs are reset?)
You could use his blood to contaminate your main water source, have all your dwarves turn into werebeatss.
Keep in mind that werebeasts are building destroyers, so you can't really have him work a workshop unless you micro-manage him hardcore.
Other than that: emergency soldier.
Lock him up near the gates. When he turns during a siege, let him loose.
>>147285034
Make a D&D dungeon and have him be a boss. You can drop dwarven "adventurers" into the dungeon and have them progress room by room via levers and bridges.
>>147285729
Do eet.
>>147285402
>You could use his blood to contaminate your main water source, have all your dwarves turn into werebeatss.
I thought that only worked with vampires? The main vector for werebeast curse is bites, I don't think blood comes into it.
>Keep in mind that werebeasts are building destroyers
That explains where his bed went.
I guess I could have him grind out rock crafts or something, rebuilding the workshop every time he trashes it.

>>147286376
You're right, it's just vampires. If you want a werebeast fort you have to get people bitten.

What does the champion look like and what is she wearing
She's wearing exceptional or masterwork steel mail shirt, breastplate, greaves, helm, mask, gauntlets, high boots, a bugbat leather robe and hood.
>>147287723
whoops, meant to reply to >>147287201
Also, a giant mole rat leather waterskin.
I need boats so bad
Whats the maximum amount of armor you can deck someone out in? I read the most recent armor page on the wiki but it was super confusing and I didn't understand the size/under/over armor stuff.
I know robes cover everything, and I know you want high boots/gauntlets but it made it sound like you can wear like, 7 robs 5 mailshirts and a full set of armor or something rediculous.
>>147288018
Layering is weird. Multiple mail shirts and cloaks generally don't interfere.
>>147288018
Take the armor >>147287723 here, and 2 more mail shirts, mittens, socks, remove mask, remove robe (optionally). I think its 3 hoods and 6 cloaks? 6 and 9? Maybe you can add trousers to that? I can't remember, it's on the wiki.

Just posting to say that your drawing are amazing. You should do DF comics or something of the sort.
>>147290620
Its a dwarf right?
>>147291118
Its an incubus from Masterwork. Lewd aside they're incredibly fun to play in fortress mode, because they expand their numbers by converting prisoners into demonic subspecies. Humans become fiends, elves cambions, orcs into Oni, all with different specialties.
>>147291560
So they're slutty Zerg
>>147286890

Just saw this, holy hell m8 you got a talent. That last picture is movie worthy.
Just found out that traps don't work on Forgotten Beasts, and the channel I dug right to the magma layer to lure Lithème in he just swum around like the mad cunt he is.
One last attempt to off him, if he manages to somehow swim upstream from the burning inferno I will directly drop him into I will let him live.
Out of sheer begrudging respect for the Forgotten Loony Tune
Hell if I wall him off he might add to the fortress defence. He already kept my fisherdwarfs safe from the Amphibian Men starting shit and shooting blowdarts from the trees.
Maybe the Dwarf civ that will not fall just found itself a mascot.
Multithreading when?

Sorry for the long wait, but here you go
I also tried the suc race in Masterwork never got too far but I summoned a few demons it was pretty cool, especially fire resistance
... Lithème swam against the artificial current pulling him in. Breaking out of the death waterfall I made for him.
Absolute
Mad
Mammoth
And HOLY SHIT IS HE PISSED
Can't get inside the fortress even with his level of trickery, so he is taking his rage out on the poor bloody amphibians blowing darts against his hide.
I might want to bolt down in the burrows until he has calmed down.
