Okay. Any tips for documenting the history of a fortress? How often should I update it? Should I limit myself to sessions of specific length, or just play as much as I want and write a separate post for every season or so?

Basically, how do I write stories about my fortress, like Boatmurdered or Glazedcoast?

Well, it depends entirely on HOW boats are implemented.

For example, will boats be a faster form of trade than caravans? Then I will want to build docks, and if pirates can come and attack, I'll want to build defenses. Will I be able to build my own boats? Then I'll want to invest more time and resources into sailors and whatever else I'll need.

I'd probably build a coastal town on an island volcano as soon as they were released, because it would just be fun.

Okay. Does anyone know any good starting embark scenarios? And is it worth downgrading to 43.03 to use DT? What will I miss out on from 43.05?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Help with job assignment
« on: April 26, 2017, 03:04:01 pm »
So, I'm having fun so far, and I am beginning to build my fortress in the caverns. I have one problem though: Jobs. I have no idea who to assign what, how many workers I need for each, and what I should do about my military situation (The current squad consists of a bunch of elderly ladies and two teenagers, completely untrained).

So, I need to know how many people I need for each of these jobs to get them done well:
Mining
Carpentry/woodworking
Masonry/stone working
Fishing
Farming/Plant processing/Brewing/Cooking
Woodcutting
Anything else I need that I didn't think of.

(TL;DR: How many dwarfs should I assign to the basic necessary industries so I can get them taken care of and work on other more complex industries?)

Thank you for the advice. By the way, how do you take screenshots of DF?

By the way, I think the goals part is another thing I keep forgetting to do. I was taught by the Wikipedia tutorial to play it safe, so it's what I did. I'll try setting a goal this time.

What leads up to it is that literally nothing happens. I'm lucky if I get a kobold thief, and only once have I ever gotten a vampire or were-beast. Never have I ever gotten a single goblin siege. Or any siege, for that matter. The circus (I believe that's the spoiler term everyone's using right now) was fun and exciting, even if I was getting totally destroyed. Combat in the caverns with forgotten beasts was tons of fun, even more so when I got to fight back in one last stand. Basically, I like dwarf fortress, I love the stories it creates, but I never get anything to actually create a story with. All my forts follow an identical pattern: Dig rooms, dig shops, dig mines, get rich, become invincible. Seriously, how do all your dwarves go crazy? How do you get attacked by were-beasts and elves and who knows what else? How?

(TL;DR: I would like to attract more sieges and other fun things)

The download isn't working properly. And what am I supposed to do with the .RAR file to put it in DF?

Cathar:
Yeah, that gets a little old after the first time, to be honest. I mean, I loved it the first time, but the wonder just wears off after that first time.
NJW2000:
1: Are there any starting scenario challenges?
2: What should I even do in adventure mode?
3: Like what? Any other free games like DF?
4: What mods?

I've gotten really bored after fortress number 3. It's always the same: Build, retire, build, retire, etc. I've tried starting near goblins, near towers, but to no avail. So what am I supposed to do?

So, I'm available now...

But my charger is busted. I'm expecting the new one in about a week. When will my turn be next?

You guys might have to skip my turn, I'm going to be pretty busy. Next time around though, I'll be ready.

Yeah, sorry about that. The nearest actual place to stay (That the game will let you retire at) was VERY far away. Maybe I could build a fort where your adventurer was?
