DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Beatings

« on: January 01, 2015, 08:04:51 pm »

My king mandated the production of copper short swords, since my fort has no steel but loads of copper I decided to ignore it and arm my sword dwarfs. Unfortunately I had a squad of adept spear dwarfs not on duty, they were all decent smiths so they produced the swords and were then chained in the jail. My fortress went under siege so I decided to free them since they are my only decent soldiers.

I had forgotten that the captain of the guard would beat them. Not only did he beat them but he was a proficient striker and killed two of them by jamming their ribs through their hearts and hospitalised the other three! Is there any way to stop any heavy handed beatings so I don't lose any more dwarfs?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Odd sculpture

« on: December 29, 2014, 04:36:14 pm »

I when bored, decided to atom smash a dwarf (Olin ParchedFlag) with a drawbridge. As we could expect a dwarf ended up smashed. Several poor merchants later I decided to set up a sculpture garden. One of the sculptures read about poor Olin ParchedFlag underneath a bridge, cringing in the early winter of 48. So it seems our dwarfs remember our experiments.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Alligators- The greatest threat since carp

« on: September 16, 2014, 04:22:33 am »

Have alligators always been so dangerous? I've been doing an above ground fortress in a marsh area and have had some annoying animals get to close but I retired then un-retired my fortress to arm my people with knifes but a group of alligators got too close to my wood cutters, while most of the alligators got on the land and were mobbed by my workers and were stabbed to death, one stayed underwater and ripped apart three humans (Im playing as humans for the now) before I even noticed! I called in my militia who waited for it to surface then hacked it up.

I normally just live underground as dwarfs so I don't see much animals but have alligators always been so dangerous?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Odd noble behavior

« on: July 14, 2014, 08:54:42 am »

I created a dwarf adventurer and immediately headed to the trade depot to take the site as my own. On the way I noticed loads of barons/baroness and counts (but no countesses). I went to the surface, claimed the site and to teach the nobles who's boss I knocked one out and smashed his right arm into gore. Understandably everyone tried to kill me so I called for a ceasefire. Every dwarven "peasant" accepted and became my allies instantly but all the nobles started no quarter fighting against all the lower classes resulting in awesome combat.
I am happy to say that it seems that the nobles are being overthrown!

UPDATE- I checked downstairs where I found all the nobles and from what I see they are in combat to. The human blacksmith seems fine but the children in the room have been stabbed by the adults and it seems almost every noble dwarf is in combat even the chief medical dwarf.
