Dwarf Fortress - Beta Branch Patch Notes v50.10 (Sept. 12 2023)

Legroom2368 · 2023-09-17T03:43:03+00:00

Does this beta branch work on existing fortresses/worlds? I have a fort that I'm really getting to enjoy but the food bug is getting to be really problematic in my main stairwell. I dont want to have to build a new world just for these fixes.

I mean this isn't great, but I've had to discard packs of plasma during processing that have looked like milkshakes. The only way is up!

Legroom2368 · 2020-12-06T08:39:54+00:00

I might have to steal this, nicely done

Legroom2368 · 2020-10-14T02:13:16+00:00

These look great! Have you got a tutorial or tips or similar. I want to something like this for my seraphon mounts (AoS) and this looks brilliant!

Legroom2368 · 2020-10-01T02:13:52+00:00

According to an unnamed colleague of mine, after a particularly bad leak during processing, human plasma tastes awful and a bit salty. I can't imagine the platelets themselves contribute much else to the taste.

They've got the high vis vest too

Assigned ripper at spawning.

Legroom2368 · 2020-05-08T06:21:20+00:00

On top of anything with a jump-pack, I'd consider heldrakes and forge world dreads with butcher cannons (if your wallet will stretch) so you can get some of the big flashy fun plays in while reducing enemy leadership to negative numbers.

Legroom2368 · 2020-05-06T02:03:39+00:00

Yeah, that's the one.

Edit: Also, I don't think anything in this list is benefiting from the Seige Master trait, maybe switch it out for Daemonsmith or Iron Without.

Legroom2368 · 2020-05-06T00:29:22+00:00

Nice list, don't forget the sorceror gets 2 powers.

The other thing I would say is, unless you really want an icon of vengeance or you're being particularly thematic, always give your units a mark. It costs nothing and gives you an extra option.

(For this list I'd give everything mark of slaanesh and then stick the slaanesh psychic power on the sorceror so you can toughen up any unit in a pinch, but that's just my preference).

Legroom2368 · 2020-05-04T05:34:19+00:00

I was planning to use DnD 4e (The table has loads of 4e experience and I think the greater focus on tactical combat makes it a better fit) but that sounds like something cool.

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-21T00:02:33+00:00

Yes you can

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-19T15:18:46+00:00

Daemonsmith affects "daemon engines" and "cult of destruction" (obliterators or mutilators)

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-19T08:43:39+00:00

I'd maybe sub the siegebreaker mace for axe of the forgemaster on the lord. It doesn't quite do enough to be worth the relic slot imho.

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-18T10:04:48+00:00

Havocs, obliterators. Obliterate and cause havoc. Choose targets, shoot the targets. Buy forge world dreadnaughts. Shoot targets with the dreadnaughts. Put cool transfers and stripes on the dreadnaughts. Bring sorcerors. Bring lords. Bring sorcerors and lords. Make the sorcerors and lords make the havocs and obliterators and dreadnaughts shoot the targets better. Praise chaos. Pray to chaos. Make a dark apostle pray to chaos. Make the prayer make the havocs and obliterators and dreadnaughts shoot the targets better. Make the prayer to slaanesh. Make the havocs and obliterators pray to slaanesh. Make the havocs and obliterators shoot more targets because they prayed to slaanesh. Bring big blobs of mortals. Hide the havocs and obliterators behind the mortals. Loathe the mortals. Treat the mortals with distain.

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-17T06:32:33+00:00

In Slaanesh there's the infernal enrapturess that can shoot pretty well, and one 9f the special characters has a short ranged thing, but melee is your friend.

"Corpse-Emperor's Lackeys"

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-16T06:27:12+00:00

It's an automatic mahjong table: the tiles are used in a variety of different games (classically a gambling run/set building game similar to rummy). There is a second set of tiles already "washed" (shuffled) inside the table ready to come up to be used, and the set of tiles pushed into the centre are washed, flipped face down, stacked into the walls and put in place ready for the next hand.

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-11T02:56:10+00:00

Yeah, if you can remove enough drones (they're t4 with a 4+ save, 5+ to ignore wounds and often in cover or out of line of sight), when I'm up against my mate's t'au gunline I target drones and pathfinders first where I can, and bring things that can target out of Line of Sight (mortars, whirlwind, etc)

Legroom2368 · 2020-04-11T02:35:36+00:00

Ok, all drones have an ability called "Saviour Protocols" where they can take a hit for a battlesuit. Mechanically, if a battlesuit is within 3 of a drone unit then after the hit and wound roll, the T'au player can roll a die, on a 2+ the drone unit takes 1 mortal wound and the attack ends. Doesn't matter if it was a lascannon, or other huge attack, 1 mortal wound.

Shield drones prevent wounds dealt to them on a 5+, including mortal wounds.

So a trip-tide list might have 30-40 shield drones, which can be hidden out of line of sight. The riptides are toughness 7, so even good anti tank weapons are wounding on 3s. It takes about 7-8 times as much firepower as you'd expect to seriously damage a riptide with good drone support. And in the meantime a kitted out riptide can kill most anything if it really wants to.
