I have 2 Dwarf Rotten Slayers too.

This must be it, they died and the necromancer revived them.

Hi!
I am currently playing in Fortress Mode.
3 Blind Cave Ogres have infiltrated my fortress. I sent my squads to deal with them. After a while, in the unit list, two of the Ogres have gained names and their name is followed by "rotten slayer" and they are displayed in blue. As you can see here:


I have no clue what they are now. If I [View Unit] it describes severely injured cave ogres. Not a word about "rotten slayers".
Does someone know what happened to them?

Thanks in advance.

So, I am new to Adventure Mode, and I find it very difficult to navigate settlements.

I can find my way in a Dwarf fortress (because I found a good guide on that), but human hamlets and elf forest retreats are harder.

I was on my way to a forest retreat to deal with criminals there, but when I got on site, I found only a forest. Lots of trees, I climbed to the canopy, got back on the ground, climbed another tree, and so on for quite a while and no sign of civilization. So I gave up and went to the nearest settlement that was not a forest retreat: A human settlement.

I got there, got in the first house for some info about a bandit I had heard about. The guy I asked told me that an other guy in the mead hall would know the location I was seeking. So I went all around the hamlet, looking for maybe a house with some tables and chairs? But all the houses are the same, no furniture to differentiate them. Am I suppose to ask in every house if this is the mead hall?

I am quite lost, and I think maybe Adventure Mode is not for me.

but make sure you didn't just locate the lair in legends but also got someone in the game to give you detailed directions.

Oh! That's what I need then! In-Game directions from an NPC, thanks.
Do I have to ask someone specific or can anybody tell me? Because I asked 2 people and they were vague. They were less precise than the legends viewer.

Anyway, back to the fortress, then.

Hi!

I am new to Adventure mode.
After training my adventurer and purchasing equipment I decided to look for a giant (not sure I'm capable of handling it, but I won't know until I try) that has stolen an artifact of my civilization. I looked the beast in Legends Viewer. Legends Viewer tells me where the giant's lair is, so I travelled all the way over there, but I can't find it precisely. The Legends Viewer also gives me a X,Y position, but I don't know how to use it.
I read somewhere that the location of a lair should appear at the top-right corner of the screen when I am near, but it didn't appear yet, even though I searched the area.

There must be something I'm missing. Where is that lair?

Hi!

I haven't played in years, and I wanted to come back and try Adventurer mode. However, I encounter a little problem with character creation, the colors of preferences customizer. I am colorblind, so maybe that's why, but I can barely see which setting is selected, I torture my eyes to see the difference between light grey et very slightly lighter grey symbols on each line. Moreover if I select one row, everything is slightly lighter again in that row and I absolutely can't see which column is selected. It is very annoying.

Here's a screen
So, my question is: Is there an utility or something to make this more readable?

Thanks for reading me.

Oh! Who dared do that? People are so impolite.

Thanks for the tip, I'll watch more carefully where I'm going.
