We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

A good chunk of our population doesn't seem to worship a damn thing actually.

Spearbreakers: Because in this place, there are no gods. There is only Fischer.

That, and being under more or less constant siege from the rotten body parts of your formerly dead friends and relatives, demonic monstrosities from the deepest pits of nightmares, and goblins, isn't really conductive to belief in a loving god...

Say, Reudh, could you  pull up Sus III:s character sheet and any relevant equipment info? (I recall he was in the military, right?)
I think I've got a strange mood coming up...
*Forumgoer!Sus has claimed a drawing pad and crayons!*

[Splint]

I feel like for the sequel, I must rename "Champion" to "Disciple of Fischer" now.

[Paintbrushturkey]

lol, btw reudh what has dworf!PBT been up to lately, did he get to kill/dismember anything for a bit, i think he was pretty much reduced to shining his armor and grinding his axe during splint's reign :-)

as to his appearance game says braided bead and moustache, somehow this came to mind....:



just wearing more armor... if i get time i may draw somethignup...

[Splint]

Suitably intimidating and frightening if on the reciving end of big scary choppy thing. Splint approves.

[Reudh]

Dorff!PBT was in combat recently, but he had no kills.

As for Sus III Minthelms the Diamond Haunt of Stigmata:



He has an... interesting inventory. I'll just write it up because it's suffering from the disappearing text bug.

Sus III is wielding an iron crossbow, a silver warhammer AND a bronze shield.
He wears six hoods, two pairs of gloves, plus gauntlets, and I think six cloaks. All of the hoods are rather tattered.

Excerpt from AussieEvil's journal

Stole some mugs from the stockpile today. I suspect that the blood that rains down from the sky here is a gift of the Gods, imbued with the power to make the dwarven mind and body perform beyond anything the mortal world has ever known. I will need to be discreet about this, as my work could be considered that of a maddwarf under some circumstances. I will need a good hidden place to set up the mugs outside where they will gather this blood-rain, and some disposable animals that nobody will miss (avoid using cavies if possible -- one resident seems to have a "sixth sense" concerning them)

27th Hematite, 208, early Summer

I hear a dwarf called Simon Tam has been quite angry lately. He was just recently removed from the post of mayor, and Crusher was elected in his place... Weird, that we dwarves of Spearbreakers elected a BODYGUARD as our mayor. Crusher's first decree was "ME LIKE BUCKLERS. NO BUCKLERS LEAVE HERE."

Work on the sky platforms connecting our towers is going well. No injuries.

We're joined by Aseaheru II, a dwarf who no one seems to know, besides Bukitodinos. I went down to have a look at where Aseaheru I was found dead... and phwoar! It stinks down there.

Also, I decided to make a memorial to Stova. Hopefully that'll please ol' Count Splint.

[Splint]

WHen I seem multiple weapons and shield in dwarf mode, I assume two things

1. Larger dorf specimen, thus able to carry the added gear
2. As per my Fischer drawing, they just bolt the shield to thier arm.

Honestly though it seems like they're carrying more shit than they need, but then I think I'm the only one who considers that what amounts to nearly four uniforms on one dorf might slow them down just a tad unless it's all adamantine for the non cloth parts.

And damn, I think Sus III's thumb is now more valuable than the rest of him. Also: Lol at Crusher. Just fill the mandate and give Simon his job back unless the human diplomat is here

[Talvieno]

Actually, I ran a couple tests, after discovering that dwarves could wield two weapons and a shield. I made two parallel hallways, and burrowed four dwarves with equal agility in their character screen. (Four dwarves to each hallway.) One hallway had armored dwarves, and the other hallway had dwarves that weren't wearing any armor at all. When I activated the alert, which was set to the dining hall, they all reached the end of the hallway at just about the exact same time. Carrying armor doesn't slow you down in fort mode, and nor does carrying extra weapons.


Lmao at Simon Tam being removed from the position of Mayor. Now he's pretty much out of a job. Nice job on the Stova memorial. Greatly enjoying the updates.

[Splint]

That's wierd. Usually my troops have trouble if they have low armor user skill and a mess of chainmail and whatnot (excluding the cloth parts.) I also noticed my own heavily armored troops would often end up only hitting half as often as less armored troops. I dunno, might have been a fluke but I stand by them having too much shit to lug around.

[Aseaheru]

its aseaheru III. aseaheru was a replacement for aseaheru, who was named for some idiotic reason.

can i see III's stats?

[Splint]

We thought the first Asea hadn't died and you simply went undorf'd, hence the incident.

[Aseaheru]

ah, ok

[soulslicerjames]

Sus, what makes you think gods in DF are loving?

Asea, your dorf didn't die.  He got lost again, suffered amnesia, and was written off as dead due to a dead dorf appearing near his last known location.  In other words, your "new" dorf is your old dorf.

[Splint]

He has in fact died twice. I found his first one as missing or something like that. Either way we're on Asea III

Looks like he may beat Sus for most deaths at this rate.
