And hell, even if they did find us, odds are they'd shoot themselves, anyway. Providing they remember how to stand and breathe at the same time.
So yeah, we're all real scared of your HOMMIES, DAWG.

He wants to spam his own thread, let him.

« on: April 17, 2008, 01:27:00 pm »I ask because I have quite a few caged up, and I'm mulling over the possibility of having the goblins function as my Storm Trooper level (read: incompetent) first line of defense.
DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Roads vs. smoothing
« on: November 28, 2007, 12:48:00 am »To my knowledge, there's no appreciable difference between a road and a smoothed path. The road blocks the growth of plants, so it's better used in forest areas. Smoothed stone is generally faster if you have a couple Legendary Engravers with nothing better to do and a path leading from your Depot to the edge of the map set entirely in stone..

« on: December 05, 2007, 10:41:00 pm »Only difference is, the water is being funneled toward the pumps, which then suck up the water and store them in their little reservoirs.
I've never actually done this before, so I'm not certain if it actually works. If not, you could always pump it up to the surface and direct it back into a brook or something.

The Guards have access to things the prisoners dump, and vice versa.
Haven't tested it, but it should work.

I just set the population cap at 7 until I feel ready to take in more dwarves.
