I wonder what parts of tilesets make them incompatible with the fix

They won't get a negative thought if the rooms don't overlap (making every bed its own 1 tile room)

Two beds in the same room? Here's the line, this half's yours and this half's mine.

The tile definition in Raws.

EDIT: Items and creatures in ASCII use other tiles than in Tilesets. Tileset makers change all tile definitions to be able to fit as many different tiles as possible.

Tilesets? Cute.

I prefer being able to see what's going on my screen, thanks.

I find square ASCII with the natural color scheme a much easier and cleaner way to see what is going on and what each thing is.

After a while you don't even see the ASCII.

Genned a new world for the new version. I like the island that is connected to mainland via a strip of land.

Oh and in the balance fix, in order to reduce lategame lag, none of the dwarves wear any clothes except for a cap on their head.

It actually creates a variety in colors, which is pleasant to look at rather than a solid color.
Also there's an option to disable that.

Terminutter · 29th February 2012

Is that a custom world? Mine are rarely that epic, I have to try to use advanced parameters a bit more. My evil areas are normally a glacial patch way up north / south and a tiny little badlands or swamp somewhere on the far east or west of the middle north/south area.

I can't actually decide if I prefer default (well, generally a more muted tileset like Orkel's square one) or graphics, as I can use both.

To me it looks like a horde of dwarves with cave sickness has charged across the map.

I got used to the ASCII in an hour, I didn't even know about tilesets. I tried using them, I really don't like the way they look.

The random patches of different grass looks really bad, there's no transparency, all the bushes/trees I've seen in tilesets look awful...

Giacomand · 29th February 2012

Drinking the blood of my victims for nutrients? Oh that's reasonable.

Eating a beatle? OH GOD SO DISGUSTING.

I said time and time again this game needs absolutely no restrictions.

But maybe that's just my fetish for collection people's hearts coming out.

Terminutter · 29th February 2012

The ability to chop up dead corpses on adventure mode would rock, like removing the heart without having to butcher the body.
Also, I want fortress like interactions in adventure mode eventually - make your own little hut. (read: epic manor of doom)

**Funion** · 29th February 2012

toady should add sexual molestation as a crime people/dwarves can be arrested for

then he should make it so you can molest people as an adventurer

roam the lands as a notorious serial molester

So I lost a fortress to an undead menace. During my second summer some bodies came to life, and my poorly equipped militia managed to stop it for the most part. Then ALL the bodies lying around came to life, and my fort fell in a matter of minutes. I don't know HOW a undead groundhog kills someone by ripping off their leg, but alright.

How do I kill necromancers/get rid of undead?
I tried making a refuse stockpile but no one could get near it without being mutilated.

Some guy got a necromancer as a migrant

This guy is just a regular dwarf in my fortress - we can get necromancers as migrants?

Is the animated horse hair friendly? Can it be assigned to a rope or cage?

Yep, I have a friendly frog man hand!

That is horrifyingly awesome.

This is beautiful. Your militia will defend the fortress in death as they did in life.

Somehow I have to make a party fortress, because the random name was Groove Mountain

It's going to be a travesty if he doesn't build that migrant a tower for him to live in.

One of my favourite old gold stories is "Buckets"

http://dfstories.com/buckets

I had a fortress where roughly 90% of the engravings were of buckets, buckets surrounded by dwarves, and buckets surrounded by screaming dwarves.

I stopped making engravings after a while.
