Uh, the flying dragon was actually a friggin FROST WYRM! Your knowlodge of warcraft disgusts me!

Specifically it was Sindragosa <The Frost Queen>.

I can confirm the Media Player / WoW issue. At least for 4 people in my old guild this worked fine. I got no speed improvements, but they went from "nearly unplayable on some fights" to "pretty stable throughout".

Okay, in my current IRC succession game we are at the sixth year mark. We have a count, strong economy and about 650k fortress value.

The goblins were one region map tile away from us on embark. All civs are listed in the civilization screen, we even get kobold thieves occasionally. No snatcher, ambush or siege yet.

Our init options are turned on (we checked that), and we are using 40c. The world was generated in 39-something, and has been upgraded with every new DF version.

Any idea what we are doing wrong? :/

Edit: 140 dwarves, only 2 deaths over the years.

No linux is not supported. Running a win32 python through wine might work.

Thanks. Will try that next time.

Is there a version for linux users? I have python installed (of course) and I am running DF via wine.

Any help on running it would be greatly appreciated. I just says that Dwarf Fortress is not running. Of course I am using the 40c, so maybe that is the problem?

My current fort (at work) is a nano fort in a otherwise completely unmodded game of 40a.

I have the new options turned on in the general orders and so far they are working fairly well. I usually play with "Dwarves gather refuse from outside", to get bones and skulls of decayed corpses.

Since I am constantly under attack by zombie deer, zombie foxes or zombie wolves, there are a lot of bodies and bones around. Usually I wait for a clear moment, gather all the bones and prepare for the next wave.

I tried the new feature and it worked. The deer died and its corpse (and later the bones and skull) was forbidden. Next a wolf was cloven asunder, paws and its tail flying into different directions. All lopped off body parts remained unforbidden after the wolf died, although the corpse had been correctly marked as forbidden.

I have no idea how this affects clothing or sieges, because I don't get goblins yet, and have no other forts here to test it.

a) You can order the seeds from the caravan, other traders also bring seeds with them (Humans and Elves only overground crops)

b) Request more from your liason or don't cook the products unless you have really enough seeds

c) Every food production is viable, just do what is most fun and challenging for you
As above, you can get the seeds from the traders usually

d) Plump Helmet spawns are created if you eat the plump helmet raw or if you brew it into alcohol, since 1 brewing task uses one stack of plump helmets, it can lead to a lot of new seeds, in the case of skilled planters. 1 seed -> 5er stack -> 5 seeds for example. If you have too much seeds, you can cook them (and forbid a small amount for safety)

e) I'm not sure.
