DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Swimming training?
« on: November 13, 2010, 03:07:59 pm »
Okay so...
I'm trying to build a spartan-nazi fort. It's goal is to build the ultimate dwarves, with the best genes and training (as in "the whole fort is a danger room" kind).
I got most of the parts down, but I can't train them to swim efficiently.
First draft was to designate a meeting area near the river, and pump like crazy. While hilarious, the amount of losses was inacceptable.
My next plan is to move beds, dining rooms, barracks... to the lower level and flood it 3/7.
Would that work?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Fluid related questions
« on: August 01, 2010, 05:53:13 am »
I was wondering...
1) Can you flush invaders off map with a stream powerful enough? I'm talking gigantic reservoir, with lots of floodgates opening simultaneously. Magma is too much of a pain to pump up anyway...
2) Are tame carp offspring still bugged and tagged as hostile, and do they still go batshit insane when caravans arrive?
3) How far can a dwarf be flinged by a stream? I'm envisioning a "rocket slime"-ish megaproject, with goblin prisoners and my military in separate giant "tanks", firing various stuff and themselves at the ennemy.
Faisible?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Can't equip adamantite gear?
« on: June 11, 2010, 01:13:56 pm »
I made a masterfully crated set of armor for my champion, "Butcher" Mistom Paintedletter.
Problem is, it doesn't appear on the equip screen. And the arsenal dwarf doesn't seem to care.
The armor pieces are sitting in an acessible stockpile, they are not forbidden.
This is on .36.
Okay, nevermind, it appeared 10 seconds after this post...

DF Gameplay Questions / Attributes
« on: June 05, 2010, 05:05:10 pm »
I didn't find anything about this in the wiki (aside from the same unanswered question). Didn't find any definite answer either on the forum.
Do leveling non-military skills increase attributes at all anymore? Most of my dwarves are pumping and swimming and talking, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

DF Suggestions / Keeping track of obsdian contents
« on: June 01, 2010, 12:53:24 pm »
Imagine this.
Goblin ambush, workers killed, military comes in, etc.
Then the aftermath: the dwarves mournfully collect their fallen, dragging the corpses to ornate graves, at the deepest level of the fortress. Fitting every body in a tiny cell. Then they close the doors, and activate a lever, encasing the dead in obsidian.
Then they build a soaring dwarf-obsidian tower, an ignoble monument, testament to their rage against the ones who murdered their friends and loved ones. Inside the tower of death, goblins are thrown to tigers, put in a room filling slowly with magma, endure whatever painful fate their captors devised... their screams echoing deliciously along the dark corridors.
It would be nice to have the contents of the walls mentioned, maybe a value upgrade...
Also: "This is a masterwork obsidian mug. It is engraved with bands of rings of menacing spikes of Adamantine. Urist "Terminator" Ironblood's nose is protruding from it.".
No?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Worst Dwarf Ever?
« on: April 01, 2010, 04:38:50 pm »
Okay, embark screen, personality check... and this.
Seriously? Old, bald, fat, ugly, slow to heal, wishy-washy, retardated and socially impaired? With no redeeming trait whatsoever?
Did you ever get worse?
Also, could someone draw her :3?
