DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Champion position bugged?
« on: July 03, 2018, 07:03:17 pm »
Interesting. I've never really had issues with unretired forts besides the obvious (cleanup, the forgotten beasts held in a zoo in the dining hall escaping due to an unconstructed wall, etc) and the typical burst of lag to 0.2 fps for an in-game day about a week after unretiring.

Forts have had bigger incidents.
Though admitedlly, it usually involves nobles, legendary cheesemakers, and children.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Champion position bugged?
« on: July 03, 2018, 03:18:49 pm »
After I retired/unretired my fort for fps reasons, I found that my normal champion (legendary swordsmaster, spearmaster, mace lord, hammer lord, etc, etc) was demoted to captain of the guard and the new champion is a mediocre doctor missing a leg. Strangely, I can't replace him with the intended champion (or anyone at all for that matter). I'm going to send him away because it turns out he's been punching overstressed dwarfs in his tantrums, but does anyone else have a bug like this?

Well, the wrestler who murdered the old, cool mayor and immediately took his place has begun to go loopy, but he's still one of my fort's best wrestlers and the only one so far other than the captain of the guard/should-be-champion-but-isn't-anymore-due-to-bug to straight up explode several people and creatures with barehanded punches without suffering any real injuries in return. Should I just assign a new mayor frequently enough to keep him out of office or arrange for a raid on the local dark goblin fortress with an absurdly powerful salt demon?

Well, my fortress did not flood. Unfortunately the intended means of rotating the mill waterwheels did not work (no flow).

Also it cut my FPS in half, so I'm scrapping that design and starting from scratch.
Interesting. Were you using a load of smaller water reactors linked up, something more like Deathgate's BATTEREY, or an aquifer drain method?

Had 230 odd dwarfs, almost all very happy, someone punched the captain of the guard I think, then I'm not sure, it was all on in the main staircase and I couldn't find the original battle report to work out why, but a mood got interrupted along the way, and now there are 100 dwarfs, a lot of miasma, someone with the title "boss" which is something to do with the queen dying, a few extra long names about the place, almost everyone is very unhappy and the new Captain of the Guard has a bit of a full prison.

But at least the sudden and extremely violent civil war out of nowhere seems to be finished, and only killed off 80% of the military and most of the nobles and, they really are quite efficient at cleaning the blood up these days. D:.
when my queen was conveniently tragically killed in action during a goblin siege, we just went back to having a mayor. Is your game modded besides a few edits to the d_init file?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Note to Urist--In which you express your frustration to your dwarves

Dear Urist McHorrified

Yes, I know the two dozen dwarf/human bodies in the caverns and the countless rotten trolls, elk birds, giant olms, crundles, giant bats, etc, etc, are decaying corpses, and that you're understandably freaked out.

But if you don't follow the orders to wall off the caverns and bury the bodies sometime this year, I'm not gonna care when the next GCS or ogre comes along and interrupts your horror to kill you. This is why we haven't colonized the third cavern yet, guys.

On a related note, please stop giving in to depression in the legendary dining hall surrounded by masterpieces, artifacts, the best food and booze there is, and mist generators. I mean, you complain about not having anything good in life... Should I assume you all hate gold statues, 200,000☼ instruments, whip wine, and the giant exotic pets looted from the elves?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Survey: Surface Control and Caravan Security
« on: July 01, 2018, 03:59:32 pm »
A: I've gradually assimilated almost half of the surface of my embark into my fort through a series of walls (think the levels of Minas Tirith). Most of it is empty, but as the only way to access it is from within the underground section of my fort, I use it as emergency extra space. While my fort has a number of entrances, only one (the main/aboveground caravan one) isn't perpetually shut well once they get around to finishing walling off the caverns like I told them to three years ago.... That one is watched by a few ballistas, the barracks for several elite squads, half the traps in my entire fort, two doberman bombs, something like 6 drawbridge airlocks/atom smashers (a holdover from the expansions outward, one ring at a time), and a chained war leopard.

B: Note to self: Your method would be the right way to get that caravan-only entrance to work... As it is I just have an alternating gate to protect caravans in the trade depot along my main entrance.

wait...this is unusual? I knew it was weird when like a dozen slabs were available for recovery in my missions screen, but I'd thought it was standard.
Hang on a minute; If I have like 5 demon slabs in my one fort, should I retire the fort, start an adventurer there, then summon the demons and cakewalk through the game to make my genocidal plans more easily accomplished?

Try. From my experience in adventurer, even keeping one demon as a bodyguard can be tricky. This is true for all companions, but demons are special. It would be like trying to keep a bunch of kindergarten children in order.

Also, you don't summon. You need to visit every one of them and use its true name to bind it before it rips your neck off.

thanks for the intel. Having never managed to get much farther than the first goblin encounter myself, I have no little idea of the specifics of the endgame.
Minus that guy who defeated a vault in goose leather.

not bad. Only two military casualties against a dragon...wish I could have that track record.

A GCS just tore apart two helmeted and armoured squads, including several legendary fighters.

at this point should I seal off the cavern for a while or do business as usual and hope it gets caught in a trap?

A wrestler just punched a planter and the mayor to death. Seconds before the mayor died of having his upper spine shoved into his stomach, the wrestler who killed him got elected mayor.

The entire fort is in the midst of what would be be called an oblivious depression spiral so I'm really just waiting for them to either clean up the bodies of their own victims or stop caring.
UPDATE: a strange mood failed so I'm hoping that the berserker will kill off everyone in the forges.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How much do you roleplay with your fortresses?
« on: June 30, 2018, 07:34:56 pm »
I'm currently RPing as a genocidal tyrant who is actively attempting to subjugate all dwarves in order to rule the world (the plan becomes less generic when the booming coffin industry comes into play a few battles from now). The only problem is that I spend about 2/3 of my time running DF while doing other things because the race traitorsdwarves take forever to stop moping over the elven bodies scattered around the trading depot and actually gather the wood needed to finish...anything.
