    BREAKING NEWS: Forgotten Beast takes the wrong turn on the roundabout and ends up in Underworld, gets beaten up by demons

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 09:42 PM PST

    Just started Suzanne Clarke's new book (Piranesi). Page 1 read to me like the journal of the Last Dwarf in a flooded and abandoned fortress. A room full of staircases, masterwork marble statues, and flooding. High hopes.

    Future of the Fortress 1 December 2020: "We haven't cut their bodies into pieces, but we've actually maintained a uniform body size for equipment reasons, as I recollect, even though e.g. elephant people should be much larger than beetle people, say."

    Rescue quests may be buggy, but they have such heartwarming endings.

    Asën Îtonardes: or How I Learned to Stop Peacemaking and Love the Elf

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 04:19 PM PST

    I started this round of adventure mode with the intention to visit my own fort and become a performer and scholar. Unitedgears - a self-sustaining colony of 32 with a library full of quires and a tavern with ample accommodations - was established in this small world with the intent of staying as an adventurer and becoming a philosopher or performer to retire. I also left some masterful hammers, armor, and adamantine swords if plans changed. Rules were also set in place to make it feel more like a narrative simulator: limited killing of wildlife, no exploits for stat gains, and to not ask anyone to join until there was a definite reason for them to do so. For example, asking someone to join to free them from peasantry or asking idle soldiers to guide my adventurer to a location.

    Asën began his tale as a peasant elf in a dwarven civilization: not the civ I was familiar with, rather the other dwarven kingdom three days away, across the map - not necessarily a distance I want to trek without having some fun in this world first. After scouring the fortress for any weapons suitable for an elf, he left with the same copper spear and dagger he started with towards a nearby human civilization, playing the same four songs and two dances to anyone who would hear it. Among all the idle, randomly-generated chatter, he kept hearing that the army of Asën's native civ and one of the elven kingdoms were at war, but I thought nothing of it.

    Asën's singing skills saved him from being cut down in the camp he visited during this first journey. He went so far as to stay the night to perform and ask the ringleader and her lieutenants if they wanted to join a performance troupe, but they all had strict duties to hold onto a pile of chests in the forest.

    Asën found a bronze short sword and shield in the humans' castle with plenty of sightseeing locations through hearsay on the way to Unitedgears. Next on the itinerary were a pair of small elven civs to visit and recruit mercenaries (and maybe topple a tree-hugging monarchy on the way) for a smattering of lairs and shrines with tales of beasts.

    This stranger in a strange land visited the first two forest retreats close to the capital with no problem: he learned how to climb trees and witnessed no songs, dances, or poems from their culture.

    Now that I have reached Sunlate, the first city of the elves en route, it is completely empty. I found no one but a pair of squads on the west outskirts. Upon further investigation, it is the newly-minted queen, her druid sister, and a swordsdwarf that is loyal to them - no one else. They all report that Asën's civilization, The Lancer of Carnages, drove them out.

    The plan now is to stay the night with them and perform the same set of songs, dances, and one bad poem Asën composed to master his generated poetic style. As I write this I kinda feel the need to change loyalties and fight for them, maybe rebel against his native civ.

    Update: Dwarf Fortress on Mac M1 (Apple Silicon)

    Posted: 01 Dec 2020 05:00 PM PST

    I made a post yesterday asking if anybody had tried playing on an M1 Mac. I had a couple PMs and some folks reporting that it didn't work.

    Today I got my hands on a base model MB Air with 8GB. Unscientific testing setup:

    • Macbook Air - 8GB, Apple Silicon M1
    • Intel i9-9900k - 32GB (Running Windows)

    I ran some worldgen tests. Everything set to default options (250 years, etc) Here are the results in min:sec format:

    • i9-9900k - 8:04
    • M1 (on battery) - 8:56
    • M1 (plugged in) - 7:40

    Bearing in mind that the DF client is ALSO running in emulation (under Rosetta2) so at some point if Toady compiles the client natively, this thing will be completely insane.

    Also bearing in mind, the M1 machine is base model MSRP $999USD and it's topping a spec'd out PC. The future is bright for DF players!

    If anybody would like me to test any other specific DF scenarios, PM or reply below.
