DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Opportunity Strikes!

« on: June 13, 2008, 11:26:00 pm »

So, this is my second game of Adventurer, and I'm doing... okay. Things took a turn for the better when I entered a town filled with dozens of Hoary Marmots. I have no idea what they are, but they seemed to not like me being there. They threw some things at me, but missed. I noticed I couldn't find any humans in this human town, and that the shops were empty... So I stole all the armor from the nearest shop and booked it in fear of retaliation. I got out of the town and traveled to the next without incident.

Now that I've stolen from that town, I assume I can't go there anymore. But why weren't there any NPC's there? Were those Marmots attacking them? If time passes, and the humans in that town die, can I go loot it? Will other human towns attack me for stealing from another town?

Edit:Removed another question I was gonna ask, figured it out.

DF Gameplay Questions / Gobbos at my doorstep!

« on: June 08, 2008, 11:02:00 pm »

Well, not exactly. With forethought, I built a channel in front of a few areas I believed my first siege would come from. Luckily, I was correct in my thinking, and now there is 1 goblin crossbowmen and 6 goblin spearmen stuck on a small ledge, surrounded by the level edge, a wall, a cliff, and a channel. This is the first time I've had my fort survive to my liking to this point, so I've never done combat before. I had one of my new immigrants with novice marksmen skill draft up, and sent him to fire across the channel. He hit the gobbo crossbowmen a few times, and then promptly died from return fire. They are just milling about over there, I think their AI is busted. None of my dwarves have any military training, I have yet to build a barracks, and I have no idea how I should go about killing these guys.

I have 2 crossbows, a steel battleaxe, and around 55 bolts. I could go into melee with them by digging through to the wall they are trapped by, or I could do something with the xbows. Any help?

Edit: It's not a siege, sorry, it's an ambush. Only have about 30 dwarves.

DF Gameplay Questions / First Possesion. :(

« on: June 08, 2008, 12:57:00 am »

One of my newly-joined immigrants has claimed my mechanic's workshop. He is possessed, and "keeps muttering zegagsal...". He hasn't left the workshop to get any materials yet. What the hell is a Zegagsal? Is that dwarven for something? It's not a name of any creature on my map. Could it be the name of the legendary item? If it is, how do I expand what he's saying to see what he needs?

DF Gameplay Questions / Some simple questions (Can't figure out with the wiki d

« on: June 06, 2008, 03:26:00 am »

Okay, so this is my first real game. I've been reading the wiki all week, and I think I'm finally ready to start playing... but the wiki's down. Panic sets in. Hopefully I can get a few answers for these before I hit the sack:

I'm just starting to mine out a storage room, and I need the rocks removed from here to make space. How can I designate to remove "these" certain rocks from this room only and move them to a stockpile, and not just move every freakin' rock from miles around to a stockpile?

With the wiki down, I'm lost as to what I do first, really. Which workshops should I set up first? Should I start building beds for all the dwarves, or doors, or what? About how long IRL does it take for the seasons to change? About when should I expect the first wave of immigrants to arrive?

If I could just get like the first 10 things I should do to get my bases grounded, I'll be your BFF. Thanks.

edit: Can wood rot outside?
