DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for my fort...

Actually, there's a story on the Story page on the Wiki called the War of the Hammer and Hoof. A guy had a bunch of unicorns attack his fortress, and he ended up trapping them in old barracks, and then drowning them.

So, if you do get Unicorns, I suggest you at least arm a few pikemen.

The next chick that Rikkir or Frea craps out, please name Jack. I think at least one chick must have a manly name.

Well, it's not really a megaproject....

But, I am building a road from the hill right above my fortress to the spot where the caravan comes in every fall, because his wagons couldn't reach me because of of my place being very heavily forested.

Hey, it helps with the FPS. You gonna let your fort fall to lag?

Admittedly, this gives me the idea to keep children and vulnerables in a sort of airlocked vault...

"This is a masterfully engraving by Urist Mcengraver. On it is a dwarf child. He is starving. This relates to the Starvation of the child dwarves in the Vaults of Bleeding in 103."

[NOFEAR]

Actually, the [NOEMOTION] tag works too. Check out the Magma mans profile for those wonderful things. They will make humans charge straight to their deaths regardless of how many have been gored on spikes.

I like how one of the dwarves cast himself with an elf still in hand into the lava. It's too bad DF doesn't recognize the sheer heroics of it.

I actually had that happen, boatmurdered style. A goblin siege arrived, just in time to run into a wall of burning grass. They all burned to death while standing around. I actually ended up losing about three dwarves because of the lemming rush.

I believe the root of the fire was a fire imp taking down a 2 humped camel.

DF Gameplay Questions / Strange cooked meals

Turtle Biscuits. Wonder what that tastes like.



Well, what kind of weird meals have you gotten in your quest to obtain Forever lasting happiness?

Or.....Instead, you have a valuable source of trade goods. Get rid of the coffin, wait for him to rot, and make more bone bolts. Use his skull to make a trade totem.

Isn't that such much better than melting a perfectly good coffin?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Searching for advice on Bedroom accomdations
« on: September 27, 2008, 10:25:06 am »


That is my farming rooms (The first field lies fallow for autumn and winter, and is then used in the spring and summer, and vice versa), my bedrooms, and my lacking dining room. What I wanted to know, is how to build space efficient bed room accommodations. In my last fort, they looked like this:



However, this set up isn't really space efficient, and I really don't want my dwarves going half way across the map to sleep. Any ideas?

The way to defeat carp and Sturgeons?

Drain the river.
Set up animal traps and patrols, around the infected areas..

If you're using zombie carp that is....

And even then, Zombie Carp? Dude, how do you take that on? Not even the toughest bronze colossus can take those suckers on.

Dude, I would have caged the guy, and unleashed him upon golbin sieges. When he's done, I'd probably capture him again and use him until he finally died.

But Jesus, that dwarf is BAMF.

43. Not a damned thing, I love this game and am fine with it untill it gets updated.

44. Carp. Need I say more?

51. Children and Drunks. You'd think if they were drunk they'd be uncoordinated, but they land strikes on the first hit on your head and bash your skull in.
