DF Gameplay Questions / Armor and Danger Rooms
« on: December 30, 2011, 09:52:33 pm »
I have been trying to train up my military, the easiest way to do this is with a danger room, I normally use a basic armor set (with leather, cloth, etc) until I make metal armor. However the oddest thing is that robes are foreign items in my current fortress, something I have never run into it and it is neccesary to have that amount of cover to avoid turning my training dwarves into swiss cheese.

Any armor set suggestions (made out of cloth, leather,etc.. not metal) that can give me the kind of protection I need for a danger room without using robes?

DF Modding / Removing diacritics from a saved game
« on: April 13, 2011, 04:41:21 pm »
I found the accent remover utility which updates the language files to remove diacritics, however when the saved file is loaded up it is still using diacritics.

Any ideas?

Is there a way to pick my own names for squads, either conventionally or through some kind of modding?

DF Gameplay Questions / Single Bolts, anything I can do?

Is there any way to group single bolts into a bunch? Because a single bolt takes up space that 25 could.

DF Gameplay Questions / Uniform Sets
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:08:22 pm »
Anybody come up with really good uniform sets?

Basically I'm looking one for melee that uses just leather/wood/cloth/bone, one for archer (minus any items that might interfere with their ability to use their crossbows) thats just leather/wood/cloth/bone.

I don't have enough of a metal industry right now to make metal armor but hopefully down the road I will.

DF Gameplay Questions / Output Piles?
« on: April 07, 2011, 11:35:19 am »
I know I once read something on the wiki about having output piles for workshops, however there isn't a way to a link a stockpile to take in the output of a workship AFAIK. Clutter is a -severe- issue right now for me and I'm in the process of moving into my fortress that I have been building for 5 game years and want to avoid the clutter problem.

DF Gameplay Questions / Retractable Drawbridge Trap
« on: April 02, 2011, 08:35:04 pm »
I currently have a multi-level mini fort as my temporary fort (before I work on the megaproject of a large for) and have it set so its surrounded by a cliff drop of many z-levels. I have a bridge spanning the drop for my dwarves and a retractable bridge span in the middle. I want to set it up with pressure plates so that bridge comes out from under invaders..

Suggestions?

DF Gameplay Questions / Temporary Fort First Plan.. Any others tried this?
« on: March 31, 2011, 02:13:15 am »
With my most successful fort to date I tried one new strategy and that was developing a smaller temporary fort and then eventually after about 1-2 years of developing industries and getting the community up and running I started work on the real fortress and didn't move in my dwarves until the basics were complete. Anybody else tried this successfully?

Mind you, a few things..

I'm not in the most dangerous of areas, I have lived through about 4-5 ambushes (4-12 goblins), 1 siege and 1 giant (in the span of about 4 years now).

DF Gameplay Questions / Macros
« on: March 28, 2011, 11:50:42 pm »
Any chance there's a good collection of macro scripts?

Specifically I'm looking for ones to dig shafts and maybe one that can create that magma displacement plunger thing I saw?

DF Gameplay Questions / Psychotic Unicorns!?!
« on: March 26, 2011, 09:32:13 pm »
Anybody deal with unicorns being more aggressive than goblins??

I have one area I have picked out that I keep retrying that apparently has a herd of unicorns and they are extremely aggressive even though I have done nothing to them. They just come in and start one-hit killing dwarves.

DF Gameplay Questions / Creating a military
« on: March 26, 2011, 09:10:45 pm »
I have seen alot of posts about developing a military early, having it be as much as 20 percent of your population, etc.

However I don't know about anybody else but I hardly start with an arsenal and at least for me it takes quite a bit to even start making weapons and armor. Is it better just to draft some squads who are armor less and practicing wrestling or wait until you have made your weapons and armor before creating your military?

DF Gameplay Questions / Starting Miner Strategies
« on: March 24, 2011, 03:50:56 pm »
Does anybody start with more then 2 miners initially?

If so, how is your embarking strategy?

I have seen strategies that use 1 or 2 miners, I prefer 2 for the obvious reasons but given how long it seems to take me to mine out everything I am wondering if 3 miners wouldn't be a bad idea.

DF Gameplay Questions / Safest efficient way of channeling
« on: March 24, 2011, 03:49:23 pm »
Is there a safe and efficient way to channel out a reservior (for example)? All the methods I have seen require you to do it one line, one floor, etc at a time which is very time consuming.
