Unfortunately it wont work, even if he gets rid of the corpse a grave will still become occupied so he'll need to designate a coffin somewhere else to move the dwarf

Move it to another location, the refuse pile would be a good place.  ;)

The AI is retarded and has caused me many frustrations.
By not using squads it seems to reduce their irrational behavour but they still do stupid things.
I guess the most foolproof method would be to stock some food and lock any doors leading out of their station ^^

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Lag For Unknown Reasons
« on: September 26, 2008, 06:34:20 pm »
By your statement that its unkown reasons i assume you've played before in a different region where you did not lag.
Could try turning temperature of, but that would probably defeat the purpose of the glacier map.
Check if theres no dwarf/job that lack a valid path.
Chasm has occasionally caused lesser lag.
There might be some hostiles that are unable to path to your dwarfs. perhaps in the chasm.
Lastly and most probably, it might just be because you've embarked on a large map

self-repairing walls?

My thought exactly.
Perhaps solidifying lava? but then, there's nothing that can break walls except dwarves ^^

On the current map i've used magma to fill out the holes on the top most mountain level, excavated the magma pipe/volcano into a 30x30 square all the way to the bottom and i'm currently waiting for the magma to fill the 'moat' of my current project, A moat of 50x50 containing a gold clad tower on 30x30 25 levels tall.
The magma fills so slow so i considered using tweak to speed it up but it's too much work filling one square at a time.

And how can you 'accidently' order the Colia VVjagn? It's pretty hard to pronouce. But if you did accidently order the Colia VVjagn, you would have known what it looked like, right, since you have eaten the Colia VVjagn. If you knew what it looked like, you should have walked over to the Waiter and ask them for a refund, and get this simple misunderstanding works out. Or not.

Out of all my text you get stuck on that. with unkownlingly i ment that i did not know that it was that bad tasting. Ofcource i would not accidentially purchase something i know of. unless the menu is on a different language.
Now, are there anything else you missunderstood with my post or did you just evade my point?

« on: September 25, 2008, 12:18:47 pm »
My major is completly useless so yes, she's got plenty of time and i think the liason goes mad after some time when he can't finish his task.
I guess i should dump the whole lot of them into the chasm.

Servant Corps, using your analogy, say I've been to Totalslavia and eaten Colia VVjagn a few times, i enter the same resturang and unknowlingly order the same terrible Colia VVjagn. i taste it and refuse to take another bite, complaining how horrible it was and declare i refuse to pay for something that would even scare the garbage can.
Now if the Colia VVjagn was good i would pay for it.

Where i'm living tip is something uncommon, the waiters are getting payed by their employers so why give them extra for doing their job? ofcource if the waiter was providing exceptionally good service i could be generous.

Using this analogy, The resturant in this case would be EA and the cook Maxis. Maybe the cook made good Colia VVjagn originally but The resturant owner suddenly decided that Colia VVjagn should be made this way instead, which caused my distaste.

Considering that one is unable to return a bad game(or computer software in general), how is one supposed to tell if its bad before trying it. Say i boot the game up, play for a few minutes or so just to get a feeling of it only to realise how extremly horrible it actually is and immediately uninstall it and never again think of it. So as customers are unable to return the product the only thing EA cares about is if it actually sells, not if the customer is satisfied.
that's like having the waiter throw your Colia VVjagn onto the table from the kitchen and then demand tip

DF Gameplay Questions / Stubborn liason
« on: September 24, 2008, 05:41:58 pm »
So the dwarven liason seems to be in love with my major or something, he's been stalking her for atleast 4 years now, curiously she's had up to 10 children during the period too.
Anyways, i think he's been bugged since i struck adamantine or the king came, im not sure, and he is still triggering "conducting meeting" work for the major too.
So will he ever get done with his thing or should i just kill him off, considering that it wouldn't matter due to my place beeing the mountainhome and wouldn't get a liason anymore?


On a sidenote, my king is the best one ever. Never making any demands and seems quite satisfied with the spartan room he took for himself.
But then he's either sleeping or uncounsious due to the lack of a foot

Check his prefferences, they tend to ban the export of things they like.
Current major likes useless materials and high boots, and that is the only reason I've not yet killed the pesant which purpose in life seems to pop out a child once a year.
