DF General Discussion / Equipment drop
« on: November 22, 2013, 03:47:21 am »
The game drives me insane... It literally trolls me. Or else, how do you explain the following:

After starting a new game, an Axedwarf-Wood Cutter is created. He is then appointed to the squad  and given an order to chop down some trees. But the moment I hit "t" (inactive) to cancel military duty, Axedwarf simply dropps the copper axe on the ground and enters the "No Job" status, as obviously, the wood chopping job cannot be carried out without an axe.

It is impossible to  chop wood from now on. I've tried switching squad to active and back, but it only repeated the above situation. What's worse, no other dwarf picks the said axe up even if appointed to Wood Cutting job. Help! I dont want to trade with elves (yuck)!

P.S: DF 0.34_11

DF Gameplay Questions / Prisoners and how to handle them (no DM)
« on: November 09, 2013, 01:22:39 am »
After a huge and gift-abundant goblin christmas, I've found, that along with goblinite there were 2 cave dragons, 1 jabberer, 1 goblin bowman and 3 goblin hammermen captured via cage traps. Since this is the first time my fortress got prisoners of war, the following questions have arised among the inhabitants:

1.Can we safely move, feed and maintain the said prisoners without Dungeon Master?
2.Can cave dragons be re-tamed to serve Nosetraded's glorious cause?
3.Can jabberer be re-tamed to serve Nosetraded's glorious cause? 
4.Can we feed the aformentioned caged beasts? What do they eat?
5.Can we put the aformentioned caged beasts in a zoo for dwarven babes' amusement?
6.Or better yet,  can we butcher them?
6.Can we feed the goblins? What do they eat?
7.Can we strip the caged goblins of their weabons and armor?
7.Can we put the aformentioned caged goblins in a zoo for dwarven babes' amusement?
6.Or better yet,  can we butcher them?
8.And as a final resort, can we safely trade all POWs to caravan without Dungeon Master?

Thankyou in advance for assisting your fellow dwarves.

P.S: I've read the wiki, but got even more confused.

DF Gameplay Questions / Fortress gender ratio bias
« on: November 06, 2013, 04:34:54 am »
I do not intend to sound sexist, yet it has to be made clear. Every time I start a new fortress, in almost all cases (90%) the starting party is either all-females, or predominantly females. It makes it somewhat hard to roleplay dwarves (Incredibly muscular unbelievably tough slow to tire Axe lord...female).
Not that it hinders the gameplay however, but the strange reoccurences of the said fact make me wonder why...
