DF General Discussion / What things impressed and suprised you in dwarf fortress.
« on: September 23, 2010, 07:34:21 pm »
For me i remember the first time i embarked on the edge of a haunted lake,to my suprise all the fish were zombies and came flopping towards my dwarfs in a rather funny but spooky manner only to be wiped by a cat.Also was impressed to see the ocean had waves washing onto the coastline.

DF Suggestions / My fortress has become boring.
« on: September 16, 2010, 08:18:21 am »
Ive build my fortress,build all the rooms and stuff needed,colonized the caverns,made it safe from sieges,made a fortune in platinum crafts(note no admantine in my zone is it because its a volcano?),and well its just complete,i might try and do some megaproject but it lags too much now,and now its simply watching dwarfs go about there daily business with the odd fb turning up.
I used to play an old 3DO game called the horde,in many ways it was similair to df(you had to build a village and place traps to stop the horde).
Well in the horde once you finished your village you moved onto a new more difficult area,i think this could work with df = start on easy temperate zone,then desert/haunted/artic zones,unlocking as you go along.
Sandbox games are fun but short lived.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Hopping crafter.
« on: September 11, 2010, 06:56:38 pm »
For 5 years one of my engravers has lain in a hospital bed unmoving due to a lack of a leg(forgotten beast ripped it off),however he just got the urge to create an artifact,and lo and behold he slowly made his way to the craftsworkshops?
.Guess he hopped there.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / LOL
« on: September 04, 2010, 04:40:20 pm »
Had the humans turn up to siege me with 50 mounted cavalry,i raised the drawbridge,after a season the horses started to give birth to foals which the humans(and horses)attacked instantly.
Its still going on with about 30 newborn foals dead,the outside of my fortress is a bloody mess.

DF Gameplay Questions / When will they go away!!.
« on: August 30, 2010, 04:32:44 pm »
I got sieged by humans,the goblins killed thier traders and they somehow declared war on me.
Unlike the goblins the humans didnt rush into my traps instead waited on a hill and killed anyone who went beyond the range of the traps(b***ards).
It took a year for them to bugger off,the goblins even sieged during this time and the humans didnt attack them.
My question is do sieges usually last this long?.

DF Suggestions / Too much ore!!.
« on: August 29, 2010, 02:32:45 am »
I think the rarer ores in fortress mode should be made rarer,i should feel a thrill when finding gold and silver or even iron and dig out every tiny bit,but theres so much of it on so many levels that i often just ignore it(it even sometimes becomes becomes a burden with it overflowing my stockpiles),surely gold and such should be rare and not seemingly on every level i dig.
Even admantine can be found in large clumps if i dig deep enough,the excess just kills the interest(oh meh another gold vein),make these metals rarer and give an incentive to tunnel deeper instead of just digging straight down 100 levels and looking for those large clumps of admantine.
The only exception to this is steel of which if you pick the wrong site you have to trade for it.

DF Suggestions / New arrivals.
« on: August 26, 2010, 06:37:03 am »
A small suggestion,can you make new arrivals to dwarf fortresses have the tag NEW ARRIVAL or something similair for a season,so they can be more easily sorted,or my favorite just given a pick and made into a miner.

DF Gameplay Questions / Temperate jungles and deserts?.
« on: August 23, 2010, 09:34:06 pm »
Its a small thing i know but having jungles and deserts in temperate zones kinda spoils the atmosphere for me,also adding moors would be nice.
