DF Gameplay Questions / urist has complained about the draft recently
« on: August 29, 2011, 03:05:10 pm »
so the bad thought of dorfs complaining about the draft..

is it like "ooo that breeze is making a draft, its chilly in here"

or "the god damn overseer drafted me, now I'm gonna get my severed part is going to sail of in an arc by a goblin"

so I found my first bit of admentine. how would I go about mining it? I think it would be pretty simple, except for the fact that is surrounded by lava, and water is on top of it.

any suggestions are more than welcome.

also I don't mind if I break into hell, this fort has been lucky for too long.

DF Gameplay Questions / fighting with fire in adventure mode
« on: August 02, 2011, 06:57:39 pm »
pretty simple question. if I light a tree on fire, can I kill something? because from what I have seen all it does is make it hard to see whats going on.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Ice wall out of nowhere
« on: August 02, 2011, 03:59:17 pm »
so I was walking from my island homeland to the mainland, because I ran out of quests.
me and my companion were walking over the frozen ocean, which was pretty nice since its faster than swimming.
suddenly a huge ass wall of ice appears out of nowhere, engulfing my companion and killing him.

wut

EDIT: I jumped in a crack I found with mist coming out of it. it said I died after slamming into an obstacle

EDIT AGAIN: I went back to my save, and kept going. it seems the ice wall is following me.

DF Gameplay Questions / how to control prisoners?
« on: July 31, 2011, 03:30:48 pm »
lets say I have captured some goblins, and I want to throw them in a lava pit, or banish them into a cavern to fight off troglodytes.

how do I get rid of their armor and weapons, and how do I force them to go to a certain place?

I have tried setting up a pasture and having them sent there, but after a few steps the goblin stabbed my dwarf and ran away, to kill another civilian before the military arrived.

wat do?

DF Suggestions / siege idea
« on: July 15, 2011, 09:17:05 pm »
CHECK IT.

what if during a siege, you could switch too adventurer mode?

what I mean is, you are getting attacked by goblins. you move all of your soldiers into position. then, you will have the option to mouse over one of your grunts or higher ranking guys, whatever, and control him during the battle? am I the only one who has thought of this?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / double siege!
« on: June 21, 2011, 03:47:21 pm »
this is the longest I have ever lasted in fort mode. I have 70+ dorfs.

the first siege was a small force. centaurs. then came werewolves.

now I am being sieged by centaurs. while they are slowly coming to my fort, a second siege comes, consisting of goblins, some riding on mounts.

I don't know if this is common, but it sure is Fun.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / labyrinth?
« on: June 06, 2011, 04:05:21 pm »
so I just started a new adventurer as a human outsider. I go to get a quest to kill some night creature. on the way, I discover a labyrinth. I have never heard of or seen one before. any dangers lurking in there? should I go get a bag and come back for potential loot? I only just went through the entrance, I would like some advice before I proceed!

« on: May 21, 2011, 02:12:45 pm »
I have tried adding in some tags to the goblins to have them able to play with adventure mode, but no luck. I am pretty sure its possible, so do any of you know what I am doing wrong? I have the tags put in like shown here...

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / swimming?
« on: May 06, 2011, 09:54:15 pm »
so i have played adventure mode for quite some time. but one thing I never fully grasped was swimming. I assume that you just walk into the water, but that never really seems to work. what am i doing wrong? and if nothing how much points would I need to put into the swimming skill?
