haha, well I dont even know what a pump is. I spend ten minutes making walls in the hallways, except my dwarf built them while he was on the wrong side...=(
You watched all four Terminator movies this weekend? That is victory. I watched the first three all in one night, in the past, and that was intense. Plus the new one was amazing.
Well you probably could play it a lot since it's a loooong game, and there are like five of them now. And when you finish those, you could move on to the Fire Emblem games (which I actually like better; it's like Advance Wars, but RPG-style in that your units level up and are not expendable).
Good to hear you aced your 13 credits! You ass-kicker.
And yes, having friends around is definitely nice. That's a big part of the reason I decided to stay in Wayne over the summer instead of going to Arkansas, where I literally know nobody but my parents. That would have been an awesome three months.
You're just now getting into Advance Wars? Geeez! You're behind the times. But at least, I suppose, you have a ton of gameplay to go before you run out. I will admit I haven't played the most recent one... It's been a long time since I've played handheld games or any sort, for whatever reason. But which game did you start with? The first one, or the last one? Or some crazy in-the-middle one?
I usually try to cage my animals, but somehow I keep getting babies when the animals are caged. I eventually give up and mark all females for slaughter.
Well, from what I understand, animals aren't supposed to be able to reproduce when placed in cages. However, if a creature is pregnant when it's caged, it will still give birth. At the very least, all the younglings would hover around the cage, no.
Speaking of humanity, I always build execution chambers into my fortress if I have cage traps. I never considered this to be weird until I talked to a person who hadn't played the game. One of the challenges I was thinking about taking up was building an entire prison complex in my fort for PoWs.
Hmm... Haven't gotten really that far into that part of gameplay and fort design yet. I usually don't bother with prisoners and just kill everything with a mixture of traps and military forces.
The most I've ever really gotten into machinery was playing with water pump towers and using floodgates as disappearing walls, mostly used to block entry into my fort. (Although I've gotten into the habit of using drawbridges lately.)
I've never considered editing the raw files, though. I've always considered having war dragons, though my experience with basic tame dragons tells me that they don't fare so well.
For me, just it adds a little variety in the game. I made two different, more primitive versions of goblins, and downloaded an Orc mod (nasty little buggers, them) and other primitive civs mod using all of the different animal people already present in the game.
Hell, I never knew multiple trade caravans could arrive at once and all hang out in the same trade depot.
oh yeah, there's also making your own critters too.
Holy damn, I'm surprised at how fast 1000 FPS looks like... I mean stuff just... happen.
Really though, I'm more of a "humane" player, preferring to stick loose creatures in cages, sticking all the horses on one cage, all the dogs in another, etc. Although one might consider having a huundred or so dogs in a cage hardly humane...
I don't know. One solution I've considered to eliminating the cat problem was ti remove them as pets entirely.
Although I've had other fun with pets too, like making most of the large predatory animals trainable so I could have things like war cougars.
I also don't viciously Murder Elf caravans. Surprisingly, I've never gotten complaints from them about the amount of trees I'm cutting down.
You and me both. My most powerful system is a laptop, running at 2.26GHz with two cores, and DF runs pretty fast at first... but once things start to get croweded, everything slows down quite a bit. Being able to run it with two cores... or even quad cores...
My gods upon starting a new fortress, your dwarves would have starved to death and have rotted away into a piles of bones before you can even pause the game!
Of course that's why there's a FPS cap in the init settings, but still... that would be awesome.
Still, running on one core means I can do other stuff while DF is running, and not totally slow my computer to a crawl.
