I have the Guildhall built directly under my dining room.  Is it possible that too many idle dwarves one Z level above is confusing it?

I will go test that.

Yes, sovereigns.

Can the coins be stockpiled?  They are about 40 squares apart, I can move the guildhall to within 6 squares of the mint if that will help.

I was able to process one "join guild" action, making a farmer a member of the mining guild by accident, and since then nothing.

Hello!  I'm newly back to DF and decided to try out Masterwork.

I've been playing with it for about 2 weeks, and I have most of it kinda figured out.

I have 2 questions.

When I started this fortress, I toggled every invader switch off so I could learn in peace.  Even if I turn them back on, they won't start invading due to their absence during world-gen, right?

Secondly, I can't seem to figure out the guildhall.  I have plenty of coins from the mint, but all the options at the guildhall are redded out.

Can one of you walk me through how you use the guildhall to put specific dwarves into specific guilds?

I love this mod, thanks for all the great work!

Edit:  I now see there is a gameplay questions thread.  I will post this there.  Thanks.

I've been playing DF for years now on my desktop, but since it died, I can't really justify buying a new one.  I have a netbook, but it has no numberpad, just the keyboard.

Is there any way to re-map the keys or something?  I get as far as outfitting the first 7 dwarves, but can't find a way to enter anything.  The plus key it's looking for doesn't exist on this device.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

My current fortress's military is lead by a pair of artifact-wielding champions who operate as "The Rough Drinkers".

The next most senior squad is less impressive.  "The Tin Posts"

I managed to clear out the pits at my current fortress for the first time ever.

It was a pit of tentacle demons, and I knew I was getting close as the adamantine veins were getting closer and thicker.  So I built an "encounter room" with fortifications and got 5 of my champion legendary hammer/marksdwarves ready to accept the demonic charge.

On a related note, I had dug a zig-zag channel in front of the fortifications so the demons would take longer to get to the wardwarves.

When I breached the pit, imagine my surprise when a blood tide of crazy peasants came flying out!  However, my zig-zag channel served as a pit-trap for all those crazy people, and so they all ended up in a tiny little area.  The tentacle demons though were invisible until they reached my first Dwarf, where a wall of steel arrows began an epic and terrible slaughter among the tentacle demons.

Final score?  35 dead tentacle demons, not a single injury among the wardwarves.  And fun extra names for the dwarves.

After a while, the crazy people died, and I had a vast and epic number of bones to train more marksdwarves.  And demon skulls make valuable totems to trade.

When it was all said and done, the pits were clear, I was able to mine every last bit of adamantine, and my FPS went back up to almost normal!

A note, how do I get rid of all that (filth) and (unknown substance).  It appears to be a liquid, but nobody will dump it.  I have buckets, but no go.

Does this work?

My current fort isn't getting any immigrants, after one glassmaker and his two kids, which has made for a very fast moving fun game so far, but now I'm bored of my 10 Dwarves.

I've already got a pair of lovers, and at least 2 more potential couples, but after I lock them in together, nothing happens.  How many parties should it take for the lovers to get married?  Do I need nobility or something?

If my fort never gets any immigrants, this is my only hope for new dwarves.
