Other Games / Recommend me your favorite 4X game.
« on: January 06, 2013, 09:13:35 pm »
So I haven't been in a situation where I could buy or run modern (post 2007-ish) games until recently. Would anyone care to recommend some good 4x games to me? In Particular I'm interested in WHY you think a game is good.

Thanks you!

Curses / Debate Attacks
« on: December 03, 2008, 01:49:24 pm »
With the addition of debate stuns to conservative speech attacks I've decided I want to try debating as my founders primary attack (rather than teaching him to use a gun).

What level of skills/attributes do I need to be effective?

How do I attack with my mouth?

DF General Discussion / Still more Carp!
« on: September 15, 2008, 12:18:18 pm »
I came across this today:

I think it explains a bit about just how dangerous carp are.

DF Gameplay Questions / Effect of shield quality?
« on: March 15, 2008, 12:19:00 am »
What exactly does the quality of the shield do? As I understand it, shields give you a chance to block the blow, and maybe counterstrike. So is a steel shield 33% more likely to block a blow when compared to an iron one?

Secondly, what are the differences between a buckler and a shield?

Thanks.

DF Gameplay Questions / Taming a bear
« on: February 01, 2008, 01:48:00 pm »
So I have a black bear which killed a hunter before wandering into one of my cage traps. I'm wondering is whether or not I can safely tame it, or will it keep killing dwarves? It is currently a named creature.

DF Gameplay Questions / Depot acces
« on: January 27, 2008, 03:09:00 am »
I'm trying to build an underground depot for vomit/defense reasons, to do this I built the depot underground and then created a 2X5 set off ramps leading up to the surface, these ramps are covered by hatch covers and surrounded by 2 rows of stone traps. According to the [D]epot map, nothing above ground is accesible.

Any suggestions?

DF Gameplay Questions / getting stuck behind floodgates
« on: January 14, 2008, 11:56:00 pm »
I'm trying to build a series of flood gates like so:

###.#
#.X.#
###.#


And the builder keeps getting stuck to the left of the flood gate. I tried restricting the space to the left, no luck. Any suggestions for getting my dwarf out?

DF Gameplay Questions / Fear and levers
« on: January 08, 2008, 02:46:00 am »
Two questions:

1) I'm building a catapult bunker, how far away do I need to keep the hostile mobs so the civilians manning the guns won't fee in terror?

2) Is it possible to link a lever to things on another level?

DF Gameplay Questions / Attributes
« on: January 03, 2008, 04:22:00 pm »
Is there a way to control which attributes a dwarf gains? For example, does bookkeeping always make a dwarf quick?

Also, what about adventure mode?

Thanks!

DF Gameplay Questions / drinking ice-melt?
« on: December 27, 2007, 02:28:00 pm »
I have a dwarf who is resting in bed after an unfortunate incident with a fire imp. The problem is it's the first winter and I didn't get the underground water source up and running before the rivers and lakes froze.

Is it possible for me to get water to the resting dwarf?

I tried to melt a frozen lake by running magma under it, which seems to melt the blocks of ice but leaves an ice floor on the surface. Whenever I try to channel that out it refreezes a short time later, and even then my dwarf's don't seem inclined to view the water as acceptable. Any suggestions?

DF Bug Reports / [33g adventure mode] Can't move into one square
« on: January 03, 2008, 11:38:00 pm »
My second time through a cave (huntuing the rat that killed my first adventurer) I came across a apparently open tunnel headed due north which my dwarf refused to progress move than a few steps into. I can go back south just fine, but I can't go north. There's nothing in the sqare I'm trying to move into.

I've tried saving/reloading and force moving into the square. Nada.

DF Bug Reports / Dwarves dropped while being recued arn't moved again
« on: February 27, 2008, 07:09:00 pm »
One of my wrestlers was seriously injured in a cave river battle, while he was in the process of being rescued another river creature incursion caused the rescuer to drop the wounded soldier. The soldiers job is set to soldier, but he is still receiving water and he has a happy thought from being rescued.

DF Bug Reports / Stairway into a bridge
« on: January 14, 2008, 11:39:00 pm »
While channeling out a moat for my bridge one of my miners git stuck so I had him build a stairway down. I then built the bridge figuring that that bridge surface would cover up the stair way. It didn't, several dwarves and animals seem to use the stairway rather than going over the bridge.

DF Bug Reports / Child cancels sleep: Caged
« on: February 22, 2008, 12:16:00 pm »
one of my two children just randomly disappeared. I got a work cancellation message, and now I can't find the child anywhere. He doesn't appear to be on the unit list (either as a dwarf, a wild animal or a hostile) and none of the cages in my stock screen says "child cage".

If it matters this coincided with the arrival of the humans.

Curses / LCS: Getting juice?
« on: January 07, 2008, 02:47:00 pm »
How does one gain more juice? I'm particularly interested in juicing up large numbers of operatives with low juice (my gang-banger army).
