DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Frequent Seiges
« on: October 29, 2015, 08:09:46 pm »
I started at as early as possible on a modest sized world, and am having a ton of goblins and kobolds come by. Maybe something to try for those who want more sieges?

DF Gameplay Questions / Getting minecarts to dump down a hole onto a stockpile.
« on: October 27, 2015, 10:46:35 pm »
The title sums it up. No wiki or forum search is answering my question, and I fear it may be impossible? Any help is appreciated.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Can trolls arrive with weapons? Also: screenshot request.
« on: June 18, 2015, 02:09:51 am »
I know that they can arrive with armour, but I do not know about weapons. Can they arrive with weapons? This is for a picture I am making.

A screenshot of a trolls inventory screen as it wears any cloths or uses weapons would be awesome as well.

Thanks.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Cast Ice & Aquifer Breaking
« on: May 16, 2015, 02:40:44 pm »
So, I found a really easy way to crack the aquifer on a biome that has winter. I just channeled down to the aquifer level in a big square, let it flood and freeze, and the channeled and smoothed the stone. No pumps or cave ins needed.

Also, this has got me thinking about making an elaborate cast ice fortress. If I pump a huge cube of water to the surface contained with wood walls, will it all freeze at winter?

EDIT: As I clicked accept on this post spring came and my ice walls melted, flooding my fortress.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Implementing a caste system
« on: February 23, 2015, 06:21:54 pm »
So for my latest fort I am attempting to implement a caste system. I basically want all my craftsmen tucked away in a safe area, my military living lavishly and training all their life, and everyone else an underclass used for construction, hauling, and resource gathering. I have been changing everyone's first name to their class to make burrowing and room assignment easier.

The classes so far consists of classes so far:

Ontak (Arm): The military upper class.
Ottan (Mind): The crafting class.
Urnut (Servant): Haulers and builders
Torad (Body): Miners
Adur (Soil): Woodsmen, hunters, and anyone else who requires above ground.

I am attempting to create separate living areas but I am rather new at this type of structured living for a fort. Any ideas or tips about any of this I would like.

Thanks!

General Discussion / Religion and Spirituality: Gloves Off
« on: February 12, 2015, 04:32:07 pm »
The topic is Religion and Spirituality. The discussions are unlimited. Try not to attack the individual posting, but rather the arguments that they are posting.

The other thread got locked because I made moral judgements about religion. As I feel that moral systems require moral critique and discussion, I have made this thread so that we have a place to discuss 'spicey' issues of religion and spirituality. Or not spicy ones. Feel free to post whatever, so long as it is accordance with the board rules.

Tilesets and Graphics / K33N's elves ( 16x16 character set ) phoebus compatible.

k33n's Elves


I moved this out of the old modding subforum into this far more appropriate one.

This is my 16x16 all-job spritesheet for elves. It was created in anticipation for the 0.40.XX update potentially letting us have multiracial fortresses, and the fact that I've always wanted to make a tileset. All comments and criticism are welcome and wanted.

Feel free to use in other mods / tileset releases as long as you give credit!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / A Friendly Visit
« on: December 03, 2014, 06:46:09 pm »
So a tribe of plump helmet men pathed from cavern two all the way into my fortress, meandered around there for a bit, then pathed up to my front door, into the overworld, and off the map.

What just happened?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarven Slavery
« on: November 30, 2014, 03:41:14 pm »
So, I just sold several of my dwarfs who got all webby and cage trapped to my parent civ. Is this normal? Will they hate me for breaking dwarf law?

DF General Discussion / Naked Goblins...
« on: March 11, 2014, 01:01:15 pm »
So unless I am mistaken, half the goblins that show up in a siege are naked, the other half have troll fur robes and hats.

Is stonesense just not showing their armour?

Hey, I am trying to find a list of all the steeds for the respective races for a little art project I am doing. I couldn't find it in the raws.

Thanks!

DF Gameplay Questions / Adamantine Clothing
« on: January 16, 2013, 09:08:31 pm »
So if I wrap my dwarfs in essentially an adamantine burka, will this be as effective as adamantine plate?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / I just survived a siege for the first time
« on: January 07, 2013, 01:50:25 am »
And I feel the need to tell the world!

Using a combined force of melee dwarfs in master-craft bronze and mass war dogs I finally passed the threshold.

How do YOU deal with sieges, and when was the first time that you succeed? How about times when you failed utterly?

DF Gameplay Questions / Danger room killing my dwarfs my dwarves
« on: December 10, 2012, 11:51:15 pm »
So I made a danger room, ten training spears on each trap, pressure plate by the commons. My entire squad was killed in seconds, and half who went in after the bodies were impaled, causing the death of many. The squad was in full iron armor.

What am I doing wrong?
