« on: March 05, 2008, 06:25:00 pm »

DF Gameplay Questions / Any way to zoom to hostiles?
« on: March 04, 2008, 08:30:00 pm »
I have a terrible time finding the goblin ambushers after i move the screen elsewhere. The only way i know of to find them again is to scroll through the (u)nits screen, which takes forever with the number of dwarves, dead animals, pets, etc. Is there any way to find them faster?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Doors? And LEVERS!?
« on: March 04, 2008, 06:46:00 pm »
i use doors instead of floodgates now, because (1) i suck at the whole floodgate arrangement thing, and my dwarf usually floods half the fortress trying to do it, and (2) because dwarves can pass through doors, when they first build it to use as a floodgate, they can walk through it when they invariably stand on the wrong side to build it.

DF Gameplay Questions / caged goblins
« on: March 03, 2008, 07:23:00 pm »
I recently cought three goblin ambushers in some cage traps. i set them to be moved into another cage, but they have since then disappeared. I saw one guy moving one of them...but the goblin hasnt been placed in the cage, and i cant find it anywhere. Is it likely that it escaped? it was in a wooden cage. Should it be metal? and/or, in the process of transporting the goblin, it would be carried through many stone fall traps. Would this then kill it? Help!

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: civilizations screen
« on: March 04, 2008, 06:39:00 pm »
thats what i though originally. but when you scroll through them the letters change. Sometimes there isnt a letter at all. And also, the dwarven and the goblin civilization says that they are at war. I assume that means with each other? and if so...what is the point? surely the game wouldnt allow one to wipe out the other? or would it?

DF Gameplay Questions / ammunition question
« on: March 03, 2008, 04:50:00 pm »
i have two questions on this topic:
1. Will weapon traps be loaded with wooden or bone bolts?
2. What are iron arrows used for? i seem to only get them from goblins, and i dont know of any use for them except to melt them down.

DF Gameplay Questions / corridor width
« on: March 02, 2008, 05:42:00 pm »
Do dwarves move slower if they are constantly going over top one another? in other words, do i slow my dwarves down by having main hallways only one square wide. i know wagons and such wont go down them, but i dont need them to.
