DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarves won't harvest plants to stockpile?
« on: November 26, 2017, 07:16:53 pm »
So I've been playing this game for years and I've never had this problem before. I have like 10 dwarves with farming enabled. I've tried turning on and off "dwarves all harvest". I've tried locking a dwarf inside the farm area. I've tried turning on and off the plants being planted.

All my farmers will do is plant. Brewers, cooks, etc. will harvest the plants when they need them, but this means tons of withered plants at a rate that doesn't make sense. What am I doing wrong? I don't use burrows, the farm is underground.

Curses / CCS Not disbanding
« on: July 10, 2013, 03:44:40 am »
So I snuck into desert eagle and stabbed the lieutenant in the head, getting ownership of the safehouse and the message that the CCS was disbanded. However, they still own a safehouse which they captured from me a while back and appear in the news as doing raids. I sent a squad to to the safehouse and killed a ton of people but the safe house wasn't taken back. I'm using the non-beta version, is there any way to fix this?

Curses / The Perfect Heist
« on: September 12, 2012, 11:17:08 pm »
It was December 20th, 2016, when Elite Liberal Founder Kristie Callahan, codename Truth, walked into American Bank Corp unarmed, wearing a conservative suit. She walked up to the teller and demanded that he open the vault, and bluffed her way past a few guards in order to enter the vault quite easily. Before she could get all the money in her purse, SWAT raided the vault... twice. She bluffed both of them using her elite liberal diplomancy. When she got in her stolen sportscar and loaded it with all the money from the vault, she drove away, with the single police cruiser who had responded unable to keep up. And that's how to rob a bank.

Other Games / Games with an arab/muslim theme?
« on: July 16, 2012, 04:28:57 am »
I've recently been on an arab/muslim/middle eastern/whatnot streak between playing Sword of Islam and reading Arabian Nights, and I'm wondering if anyone has any particular games to recommend which fit the general theme. Mods are certainly acceptable, though games where the distinction is only superficial (ie: you can play as arabians in civ 4, but there's no flavour) aren't preferable.

Other Games / Games where you can be an AI
« on: March 04, 2012, 05:30:13 pm »
I currently have a craving to play as a crazy or even benevolent AI after playing a Fallout mod for HoI2, but it crashes way too much for my taste so it only served to whet my appetite, and figured that this is the best place to ask.
The only game that comes to mind so far is Space Station 13. Any other notable games?

Other Games / Family Guy MMO
« on: June 16, 2011, 11:03:54 pm »
Yes.
I have no clue what the gameplay will be, but am watching just because.

Does anybody have any idea what the game will actually entail?

Other Games / Whaling Games
« on: March 26, 2011, 08:46:25 pm »
 The title says it all, we need a thread for games involving the art of whaling. My search has only brought up stupid things, like making whales explode or saving whales, which isn't nearly manly enough for a game about it to be good.
I know there has to be some game out there where you captain a rowboat and slay humongous beasts of the sea with nothing more than the spear in your hand and the will to fight. Of course, the best place to find someone who knows of such a game would be here, so I humbly present my request. Games where you hunt whales with less sporting things like motorboats and sonar are acceptable, but the grail would be whaling at latest about the early 1900s.

Other Games / Pretty Awesome Gamersgate Sale
« on: March 08, 2011, 06:23:02 pm »
     Right now it seems Gamersgate is having a good sale for their anniversary and I'm seeing a lot of great deals that interest me, and as a side, probably a lot of you.
I'm seeing things like Arkham Asylum for $10, Crysis for $7,  Eu3 complete for $6, and some more familiar games with over 60% discounts, and I don't see any mention of it on the board.

Since it's apparently the 1st week of sales and there are 3 more, I'm expecting some good variance and thus here's a thread.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Best Deities
« on: November 15, 2010, 06:33:10 pm »
Post your best gods and related statues or whatever here!
"This is a native gold statue of Rakust the Clean Youth.
The item is an image of Rakust the Clean Youth, the deity of death, rebirth and creation, depicted as a rotting male dwarf, and a dwarf in native gold by Asmel Kolimsal. Rakust the Clean youth is devouring the dwarf."
I put it in my hospital/farm area.

Other Games / Supremacy 1914 Diplomacy-esque Online Game
« on: October 02, 2010, 06:21:02 pm »
  I just realized that this game hasn't been mentioned, but does anyone currently play it? It's browser based (unfortunately) but it's really nothing like a normal browser based game. Basically it starts with a wholly historically inaccurate map of WW1, with every country starting out equal risk-style, where each country is taken by a player and things go from there.
Personally I find it to be a lot like diplomacy except without being playable in one session. Generally things take a while, I think rounds take a month (though I haven't personally completed one yet as I'm still on my first), so it has that touch of making you think about strategies when you're not even playing it.
  It has a sweet intelligence system where you can do anything from delaying production of that tank or intercepting a message between your enemy and your ally giving away your military locations.
  The combat system is generally a case of 1 v 1 meaning everyone suffers high casualties, with top tier forts making the attacker need something like 4 to 1 odds to be equal, so it's often based on outmaneuvering your enemy, making fake attacks, or just throwing troops at your enemy knowing half will die. There are things like artillery and railguns to bombard your enemy from afar and battleships to intercept enemy troop transports and so on.
  Economically there are a bunch of different resources, which  you have to juggle around and often trade on the stock market since you're probably not a self sufficient country. Each province produces a single resource, with some provinces producing twice as much and thus being more valuable and sought after. Additionally, you start building factories (to produce tanks and artillery) and railways (to increase production and movement speed) a few days into the game.
  Overall it's very complex and has this kind of Hearts of Iron+Diplomacy+Risk feel to me with all the best parts thrown together, though I'm not saying it's the best thing ever and it's probably not for everyone.

Other Games / Good Extremely High Specs PC Games
« on: September 22, 2010, 03:29:54 pm »
As someone who just got a top of the line computer after years of having a mediocre laptop, I'm looking for games to test its limits without just being pure eyecandy. Hopefully I'm not the only one who has this problem   8)
So, any recommendations?

DF Gameplay Questions / Underground Windmills
« on: August 02, 2010, 10:43:42 pm »
Are they possible? With 10 z level high caverns, I'm sure there's some kind of wind, but do they work in caverns? I'm currently doing a fully underground fortress cut off from the surface, and it doesn't look like there'll be any way to produce power...

Has anyone managed to tame any captured animals in the new version? I've got a deer and 2 foxes and neither small nor large animal training works.

I just had one of my dwarves...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Now I've got 1 unit in my stocks! There's been some kind of scientific breakthrough in the latest version, and it's amazing.

DF Suggestions / Cross-Fortress Uniforms
« on: April 03, 2010, 01:34:09 am »
I think it would pretty simply help everyone if you only had to create a uniform once and it appeared as an option in all of your future games. I'm starting to find it tedious to recreate the same "Axedwarf" "Miner" "Militia" uniforms multiple times.
