DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: August 31, 2010, 04:39:50 pm »
First fort in 2010 is going ok I guess. season and a half and no sieges but then theres the alligator that likes to just pop up and eat a random dwarf lost 3 that way and one trapper to a strange mood and had no idea what type of workshop he needed. My 1 dwarf army punched his head off.  Brewing booze and repeatedly caging the random cats that are born to avoid a catsplosion. Free food and the Military Dwarf has Cat Leather Armor. :)

I might have missed this reading through the thread but i noticed alot of my gens end up with large evil oceans :3. Any idea how to avoid that?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Small Map Request
« on: December 19, 2009, 07:16:13 am »
I know alot of you get these alot and probably are annoyed but I have no luck genning any decent maps. I'm looking for something simple with just a mountain and a river and possibly magma/sand.

If It helps I'm using the mayday tileset (from the AfterActionReporter tutorial) and the orc mod.

If anyone can give me a idea on what parameters I need or should try or have a decent map that they could share I would greatly appreciate any help that you could provide.

Deactivating the marksdwarf probably made her angry because she had no civilian skills -- basically, you just took away the only job she knew how to do. That on top of losing her pets was enough to make her tantrum.

Oh Whoops, I thought she'd talk to her miner hubby (who's now in lockdown in his room with food being tossed in via a gate above his room) and eat and attend the parties that the dwarves keep doing and she was fine. Oh well she got the artifact coffin due to her clearing out all the pike before going mad.

Thanks for the help. Ended up making one of the 3 immigrants I had a Marksdwarf and she shot all the annoying pike~ Problem that happened for that was she lost her pet puppy first then her pet cow. Traders arrived so I bought a screw for a screw pump (still cant figure out how to make thoose) so I deactivated her and took off all her hauling duties to eat/party/use the pump. Oddly enough she threw a fit for a minute in her room not breaking anything then was fine for about a hour then went and tantrumed again punching a dwarf in the leg only to be mauled by a hunters war dog (for the cougar incident with a different hunter). Is that odd?

Another oddity is that my starting miner/mayor/book keeper dwarf is flashing green despite his nice private office, bedroom and eating area. Any clue to what that is?

So I'm using the After action Reporter guide and map to get a grasp on this addicting game. Problem I'm Having is the place despite zoning a different spot for drinking away from the carp the dwarves flock to the pike like lemmings and then the river is stained red. I have 2 hunters with Crossbows and a couple of military dwarfs with a axe,sword,hammer and all are recruits untill I  can figure out how to make a pump for them to work out on. How Do I make the Hunters go near the pike but far enough for them to shoot the damned fish?

I tried a few(15) more times and cant seem to find the spot. I downloaded the version someone posted a few pages back so im not sure if it has the magma or not. Running afaik vanilla dwarf with mayday tileset. Any suggestions on to what Features I should punch in the [F]inder?

9
Yeah posting after two hours of sleep isn't the best way to make a point as spelling goes out the window~ I'll try the things you mentioned and give it another go.

Basically as a awake restatement: Basically I tried around 8 times to get close to that spot either ending up in the mini cave (where the river flows through or closer to the bottom of the map area. Couldnt Figure out what settings I should be using in the site [F]inder.

10
My may spots are never that bit though. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm Still a Bit new to Dwarf Fortress but despite many tries I cannot seem to embark near the upper right hand corner close to what appears to be silt and close enough to the water/magma pool. Could anyone offer some advice on how to embark near it?
