DF Gameplay Questions / Questions on abandoning.

« on: March 01, 2009, 05:20:29 pm »

As some of you may know my current fort is...well..boring.

it had its peak already, the king and queen are here, I've got enough booze and prepared meals to feed a fort 20 times my fort's size for several years, the megabeasts stopped coming (I think I captured them all), moods are more than a daily thing now and the worst thing of all: I'm on an island so no gobbos or elves.

Now, I'm planning on abandoning my fort and start a new one. The thing is I named my king and queen and one of their children. Since they're hist figs, will they stay named like that? And when I abandon will they return to their previous fort or linger around my old fort? If I start a new fort and get up to the point where I have enough wealth etc for the king/queen to arrive, will they arrive?

DF Gameplay Questions / Collapsing several layers of mountain at the same time.

« on: February 21, 2009, 07:44:35 pm »

I'm about to collapse several layers of mountain at the same time(a good 13 z-levels).

Does the resulting collapse expose any ores that were in those layers? Say there was a gold vein up there somewhere, am I going to find Gold Nuggets sandwiched between diorite?

The Aftermath:
I've lost a total of 5 out of 6 miners to the carving out and collapsing of the mountaintop, most casualties were caused by small, unpredicted collapsing tiles

The bottom most layer has been completely revealed after impact.

The mountain is now SPLIT down the middle. I have no idea how this happened and if it happened due to the sheer force of the impact.

Collapse number 2 caused the mountain to break up even more. One funny thing is I now have slopes leading to nowhere that outline where the mountain previously reached.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Killing the liaison.

« on: February 08, 2009, 12:39:15 pm »

I've embarked on an island and thus I have no enemies.

To make things more interesting I've decided to let my king come etc. and then wage war on the mountainhome I embarked from.

Now, is killing the liaison grounds for an all out war? Do I have to kill him or can I let dangerous animals devour him for me?

On the note of dangerous animals...Are Slugmen at all a threath? My dwarves are scared by them but their names don't sound very intimidating.

Any tips, advice etc. on original ways to kill him are welcome

DF Gameplay Questions / Forever Drowsy?

« on: December 25, 2008, 11:33:57 pm »

Here's the thing:
During this big migrant rush my metalsmith, at that time very drowsy, was heading for his bed. He's struck by a strange mood and goes back to the metalsmith's forge as fast as he possibly can in his drowsy state. So, not that fast. After taking Armok knows how long to finish the artifact he heads back to his bed a legendary metalsmith. Still very drowsy he nears his bedroom, but stops and turns around to go back upstairs to get a drink. After taking his refreshment he heads back down again, only to turn around once more to gobble down a nice, legendary meal. He heads back down, ever so slowly, only to turn around once more to get something to drink again.

This continues on forever. He doesn't seem to ever sleep. he's ALWAYS drowsy and is thus never able to complete tasks because before he gets there he needs to head back to quench his thirst or stop his hunger.

Any ideas on what might have caused this? Was it because he was ina strange mood at the time? Or is this just some irritating bug? Any help would be appreciated.
