DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Suggest a fun new theme for my new fortress.
« on: January 12, 2008, 02:01:00 am »
Two forts that worked strangely well:

Glacier map which had soil and 4 levels of aquifer. Made a living from growing, sold nothing but meals from the inside of a below 0 ice block. The river was frozen solid permanently.

Forest map with no cliffs, started with no miners or picks. Built a huge multistory tower from all the wood. Didn't dig anything at all.

They were a challenge though, try those.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: A perfect start. Or is it?

Use i to designate a meeting area, they will stop going to the wagon then.

I'm not brave enough to try this, I'm having enough problems just with dwarves killing themselves in moods and falling off cliffs.

Definately gotta try a spooky map when I get better.

And sieges too .. I want my sieges back.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Problems with channels

Channels in the new version don't sit in the floor like they used to, they actually dig out the square below.

What you'll want to do is dig the channel on the squares above the river so the area underneath gets dug out on the same level as the river water. Then it won't overflow on you like that.

Ouch. Spring came, I opened my floodgates into my pristine farming setup, and forgot a single channel. Next thing I know permaflood into the outside, and everywhere except my eating chambers .. oh well.

Next time I place the level somewhere better. Like IN the protected areas.

Cool! Thanks. Forgot all about engraving, had them hauling stone.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / 46 dwarves, 3 mules and a cat!
« on: August 27, 2007, 06:48:00 am »
It's my second game and I'm just heading into my second winter right now with well over 300 food for 46 dwarves, and I just don't know what to do with them. I have many dwarves doing all kinds of things, I just don't know what I want them to do.

I had 28 join the 7 starters, plus another 11 after that, and no deaths yet aside from 3 drowned horses.

I've just bridged the chasm and on the way to the magma river, all of my crafts are going full out and I have 8 farmers, 6 hunters and 32 others.

Any suggestions?
