DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Is this a natural lake?

« on: September 20, 2014, 08:24:10 pm »

Went looking for a serious embark site that contained an Aquifier (been practicing), and stumbled across this anomaly;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is this area subject to normal river rules, or is there anything special I should know about such sites? That is, I won't be getting ocean-dwelling creatures like Whales & Sharks, right? Any info is appreciated

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Anyone have some Quickfort designs they would like to share?

« on: September 14, 2014, 12:04:17 pm »

Playing Masterwork, and finally getting the hang of the various utilities. DF is the only game I know of where modding to make the game more efficient requires a learning curve as steep as the game itself

Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone would like to share some builds. I'm mostly looking for some good Nobles room designs, but I'm curious to see other Dorfs grand dining halls and such.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / My shortest Fortress ever

« on: August 28, 2014, 06:57:33 pm »

I embark in a Temperate Joyous Forest, with the intention of enjoying !FUN! with the local hippies. I start digging, and send Urist McFisher how to procure some food. I follow him to the stream, and almost immediately see a fish head icon pop up. I'm thinking 'Great, first catch of the day'. Then the fish icon overlaps him... then they both move into the stream, then they vanish $:-\$ No biggie, I still have 6 Dwarves left. I remove labors from my Urist McHunter, and send him out to the wilds.

Not less than a minute later 'Cancels hunting, interrupted by Unicorn'. I zoom to the site, expecting him to meet a grisly end. Fires a few shots, all miss, and the Unicorn closes the gap. Amazingly, he actually dodges the charge; then proceeds to turn, smack the foul beast upside the head with his crossbow, then lands a shot between the eyes. I'm thinking 'Great! We'll be having Unicorn burgers for at least a week'. That was when 3 of his buddies showed up, and the Fortress quickly ended from a combination of Tantrum and stabbing

So my new personal best is less than a day of game time. Has anyone else had a exceptionally short embark?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Just killed my first WereCreature

« on: January 04, 2014, 07:34:00 pm »

I got the alert, rush everyone to the Safe House and position my Squads. Unfortunately, one Trader/Woodsdwarf was caught in the open. Suffice to say it was not pretty

(I have 3 pages of him being strangled). It blazes past the cage traps, only to have several large boulders dropped on his head, straight into my team of ace Marksdwarves. It took me a few minutes to find him and confirm dead, b/c I was looking for a Human. Turns out this WereLizard was actually a Goblin

I'm betting the previous Goblin Horde tipped him off about the first row of Cage Traps

Not the most creative defense (yet), but enough to get the job done. Given all of the usual problems with a newbie Fortress (can't tell if my Tracks are broken or I'm just using stone faster than it can accumulate, channeling a water source from a frozen river, etc.), I am still rather pleased.

DF Gameplay Questions / My Hammer Dwarf is in a coma?

« on: December 31, 2013, 12:15:57 am »

After an ambush, one of my Hammer Dwarves sustained a broken rib and 'dented upper body'

She went to sleep in the Barracks and hasn't left in ~2 weeks. I know my Hospital zone is working, because another of the injured went straight there with a busted hand, and was patched up in just a few days. I have multiple Traction Benches & Beds, plus 3 chests filled with materials, including a large bag of gypsum plaster I bought from the Caravan. So I'm rather at a loss here. Any suggestions are welcome.
