I have given up trying to get the Fortress defence mod to work with this, in any case, if I raise the number of children the infected have. Will they come in bigger numbers?

[Fairin]

my most tallented soldier went and got moody on me and required stone - and gems, my first artifact and the bugger just has to require those, so i tried mineing some, thought i'd be "carefull" about it since the stone is deadly. did some down stairs . found some surface rock . picked it. killed all my miners in less than 3 squares dug out...

the ensueing tantrum spiral caused my fort to wipe before the first winter... irritating >>

[kerlc]

this is why all the merchants that come to my fort find themselves "mysteriously" walled in. and i get all the free loot! except for the time when a merchant's Mule went berserk and bashed some soldier's head in.

it might just be me, but it seems pellets are worse than bolts. They just end up doing blunt damage. So, you're better off using the gun parts and metal for a pistol and ammo.  I'll do some more testing with better metals, can't be too hasty. In unrelated news, a moody carpenter made a wooden armor stand. Also, the standard infected just came in a massive siege. Four groups, one of them with a general("war leader"). The general is just a standard infected, not a demon or anything. They also have some war grizzly bears, not mounted thankfully. On top of that, a desert devil ambush came, but I killed them. The groups didn't fight each other at all. I've also caged a whole bunch of things for my new arena.

I must be doing something wrong... Every time I generate a world the only civilizations I can choose from are forgotten beasts
Though I am trying to install phoebus' graphics over it...

[kerlc]

no, acctually it's that you have to REMOVE/PUT TO A SAFE PLACE the old raws, and THEN copy the new ones into the folder. it happened to me a couple of times too

Curious, how long until any zombie for that matter comes shambling to my fortress? currently in the middle of my first winter still no sightings O.o and I know that theres infected around I checked before I embarked

Well i got attacked before my first trader

[Person]

It seems the earliest they arrive is late summer 1st year, but you have to be very near them for that to happen. Depending on world size, it could take a long time for them to arrive.

Edit: My moody metalcrafter is sketching pictures of shining metal bars. I assume they want platinum, because they aren't taking any of the other things I have. But we don't have any, and none of the last 4 caravans did either. Of course, even if we did have any, they need rough gems too.

[Putnam]

Metalsmiths won't request specific metals anymore; they'll take what they've got, but they'll take their preference first. It's the rough gems you're probably having problems with.

[Person]

Thing is, they haven't taken any bars, and they don't have any gem skill so that isn't the base item. Nothing is forbidden, burrows are fine, etc. So, IT must have made platinum(or whatever the person wants) a different category like adamantine in that dwarves specifically request adamantine wafers. (Note: Platinum has been modded heavily in this to become a win metal. This is because adamantine has been removed due to there being little chance of reaching it.)

the longest the zed-heads ever took was a year and a half, and i was half a continent away from the nearest zed civ.

Odd cause It's been 2 1/2 years now, I'm flourishing but its really boring with no zeds.

[kerlc]

well, looks like your zed civ is more than half a continent away. maybe they are on the other end of it? well, it does not matter. you'll get invaded. either by zeds, desert devils (ambush) or Reinheit.

[BeforeLifer]
