DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Most Heart Warming or Heart Wrenching Dwarf Fortress Moments~
« on: January 04, 2011, 12:30:49 am »
I put the two together because:

1. Having Heart Wrenching without a balance would have us all in tears.

2. Something can be both.


In my current Fortress, a dwarf's pet dog was badly wounded by a goblin ambush. I thought it had died. Then yesterday I spotted it following its master around at half speed.


Spoiler (click to show/hide)


The thought of this poor animal faithfully following its master around, dragging its back half behind it just wrenches my heart. But its so touching, the loyalty she has for her master!



What about you guys? Any such moments to share?

DF Gameplay Questions / ARGH!!! Gettin' Dwarves Inside
« on: January 01, 2011, 02:56:29 am »
I have a Warren setup that encompasses all of my underground fortress. If I set the CIV Alert to put everyone there, and yes the warren is assigned to that alert, the dwarves scatter and even with a few minutes to get there, dwarves are still traipsing about outside! And if I order a squad to form up they're just as bad!

Limiting the warren to one area, like the dining room and the two pantries connected to it helps with but does no eliminate the problem.

What can I do to remedy this?

DF Gameplay Questions / PoWs in Zoos?

Do you have to put animals in zoos or can you put in different humanoids you've captured?

"Mommy mommy look at the gobwin!" hehehe~

I know~ If I was a nice person I wouldn't be playing Dwarf Fortress =p

DF Gameplay Questions / I'm Unclear As To How Waterfalls Work...
« on: December 24, 2010, 09:10:43 pm »
Ok, so Dwarves like seeing a waterfall mist right? What are the conditions required to get a mist? Is it only dropping water from a height? Do you need a certain open space around the impact point for misting purposes?

Let's say I "walled in" a waterfall with windows. Would that work? It'd certainly reduce the chances of catasphrophic runaway flooding if something went wrong somewhere.

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarf Taken by Fey Mood Won't Collect Materials
« on: December 19, 2010, 09:14:53 pm »
Heyas all,

I only just started playing Dwarf Fortress a few days ago. In my previous (and first) game (which I abandoned) I had a Bowyr taken by a Fey Mood and she collected the materials as usual and just made the thing (Oak Bow adorned with Talc). This game its not going as smoothly.

First, he wanted a Craftsdwarf shop and I made a lucky guess and built one right off for him.
Now he's siezed it for his own diabolical (dwarfabolical?) construction but he won't go collect materials.
He's demanding wood logs and silk cloth. Wood Logs are right across the hall and I just purchased Silk Cloth from the trader. Is there some reason the lazy bum won't collect them himself? What can I do to get him his materials so he doesn't go mad?
