I’m gonna give some tips and advice as a longtime df adventure mode player because I really like your series. Might go on a bit long but I’m sure you’ll find some really useful stuff One thing that I noticed is your world is small and doesn’t have a lot of civilizations, so you cannot really find any towns to get quest and such. If you make a new map put everything at the highest except world time span and you’ll notice there’s a lot more to do. Adventure mode DF is the best, you can take over castles and become king, become a werewolf or vampire (I’ve been both and It was the most fun I’ve ever had in df to this day.) Here I go. You can fly at will in the air and descend with < and > When talking bringing up a specific event such as you killed FerAnZ Xakfjfjd the dragon will allow you to get more respect in that town so you can get more friends to join you. If you can’t get more friends you need to kill more bandits, beasts, etc and tell people about it. Toppling a statue has a chance to curse you (Press U near a statue if I remember correctly). Becoming a vampire or werewolf is fucking epic, no hunger or thirst and unlimited energy for werewolf I think. When your a vampire you can see little red dots through the walls, which I guess is like blood sight because it lets you see creatures and humans through walls. Most castles have some type of weird shit under it if you search around. Like a full civilization on top, in the underground, dead humans and kobold monsters. Your race matters in the grand scheme of things, your an elephant man? You can one punch pretty much anything with no weapons at start. Spider man? Bite people and inject that venom. Skunk? Press X and use your natural ability (not sure about skunk but you use X to use naturally abilities.) Bird Man? Your weaker but can fly. Cheetah is fast, you get the idea Also when doing combat you can look at the bottom for specific attack types, like a fast or power strike. Also you can string MULTIPLE hits in one frame if you choose the multi attack one, and you can specifically tailor every hit, a fast strike to the eye and a shield bash to the jaw. By using grab and grabbing as follows you can do special things 1 Grab throat, put in headlock or take down (puts them on the ground and makes them slower, less attacks they are throwing and blocking.) 1 Grab weapon, try to disarm (use I to go into your inventory and try to get it or use the grab actions) (If your weapon is lodged into your enemy’s body or their weapon in yours, press I and go to the item in your inventory and try to gain possession or use the grapple attack to twist the sword inside him or pull it out) 3 if you bite and it latches on, go to grab so you can shake your head to deal more damage or let go. 4 same goes for any clothing you grab, you can try to gain possession by going to your inventory I believe. Character creation you went hero. There is literally no reason to play anything under demigod. The game is already hard enough, I remember giving my guy full maxed up axe and armor. He still died. Being demigod allowed me to do that and still have a reasonable amount of points, you went hero. Your skills train naturally with anything. Putting superior strength at character creation, if you fight enough and win enough tough battles, it will increase to Super-Human. run at full speed all day, you’ll increase your agility to SuperHuman too. Same with any skill like swimming, weapon skills, armor skills, etc. If your fighting a strong opponent that’s far away, pick up as many rocks off the floor from next or around you and throw them, also helps your throwing skill. ( fucking cyclops broke my arm and my teeth and killed 4 of my friends in front of me. Mfw I throw a rock fucking expecting to die after and it fucking instakills him, the thing my eye, neck, head, stomach slashes couldn’t do after multiple try’s lol and no he wasn’t too hurt from the initial encounter, just got lucky). ALWAYS put one point into reading and 2 into swimming. Reading for all races and swimming if your race can’t fly or swim.
Sorry for the delay in responding! This is awesome, thank you so much! I'm going to pin this so that I remember to review it for my next video. Thank you again!
@@SSBURD yeah I had a lot more in the edited version but my phone died and it disappeared, I’ll try repost it on a future video you make. I never really played fortress mod tbh, so I know a lot more than I should about adventure mode.
@@philruiyn9332 Oh man I'm sorry the first draft got lost! Someone else mentioned about that happening because they included a link (they think). So frustrating, but thank you seriously for not giving up on the post, lol.
Hype! It's nice to see you're getting the hang of adventure mode. Fortress & Adventure mode compliment themselves really well imo because you get to interact with the same system your dwarves use in fort mode. i.e. Skill use increasing their stats or the flow of conversations (jokes/compliments/arguments) Go forth, explore the world, slay mighty beasts, uncover the secrets of gods and regale us with the stories of Zefon the grackleman!
Absolutely! Adventure mode has completely opened my mind to how a lot of mechanisms I took for granted specifically work (combat, social skills, game ticks, etc.) Thanks again for your wise advice!
I saw this comment at a restaurant and thought about it ever since. Really got me thinking: Maybe adventure mode is actually the IDEAL way to catch an undead whale. I can scour every single 3d inch of a haunted sea here... It's just a question of if that sea exists on this map and whether I can find it. edit: "ever since" = like the last 2 hours leading up to this comment being posted
@SSBURD the most evil ocean that you can find. Don't be surprised if you see (spoilers) the Giant Winged Serpants and other rare commodities. Going through the raws is so much fun.
With regards to your grackleman's size, I read on the DF wiki that animal-folk are the average of size, between human and whatever animal they also are. Thus you have tiny songbird-men (who are nonetheless huge compared to other songbirds) and smol elephant-women (who are still much larger than a human).
This makes so much sense, thank you for sharing!! So if a grackle is roughly crow sized, and Zefon is midway between that size and a human's size, we can assume Zefon is overall roughly the size of something like a medium to large dog? Awesome context and really helpful, thanks again!

Nice video OP, now let's go deep ocean fishing with that flappy character of yours!
