DF Gameplay Questions / Re: HFS>Spoilers.
« on: May 01, 2009, 01:00:06 pm »
I never breached in the 2D DF version.  Did they just come pouring out in an unending fashion or did the game just stop and tell you what happened?

DF Bug Reports / Re: [40d8] Dwarfs gain massive wrestling skill in seconds
« on: January 16, 2009, 01:20:52 pm »
It's a known bug and reported several times.  It's a chore to have my macedwarves actually macedwarves and not wrestlers because of this.  Most of them have finally changed their colors and come around due to sparring with the mace, thankfully.

Setup a nice big Roman-style puke party with lots of statues outside.  After they're done hurling for a season or so it stops.  :)  They always wipe it off the statues too, it's great!

I had a similar experience in one of my games.

I also got a similar list of joke responses.  Hopefully it gets added to the pot of bugs. :)

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: diorite?
« on: December 17, 2008, 03:20:59 pm »
I embarked on a location which supposedly had coal and limonite.  Well just the top layer of a couple hills had a few clumps of coal and a spec of limonite, everything underneath the ground is diorite!  But it is packed full of Gold and Gems, so I'm still going with it.

I've tried the cave-in several times with no luck, but I'll have to try it again.  It is a major PITA but a good challenge to overcome.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Gold and weapons
« on: December 12, 2008, 06:42:58 pm »
I'm kind of bummed that I can make Silver weapons/armor but not Gold weapons/armor.  My current fortress has a ton of Gold veins under it.  I wish I could make those items out of gold. :(

For now my big project is going to be a pure golden house for some noble, with gold statues that have a mega amount of gems on them (area has tons of gems, too, apparently).

Any other ideas for the gold?

Videos looked great, but the DF music playing in the background, at nearly the same volume as your voice, was a bit distracting.

Do you have a nice statue garden or well for a meeting place?  If so they might be hanging out there a lot.  My lazy military dwarves like to party with the civilians instead of training.  Who can blame them?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: HFS safety net...
« on: November 21, 2008, 01:46:47 pm »
With vanilla DF and no reveal type tools how do you approach HFS without breaking in accidentally?  Is there a way to shape around the pit and determine its size?  I'm on a map with (what I think) is guaranteed HFS and I'd rather be careful about going after it...

After experimenting a lot, I nowadays give all dwarves a 2x2 room (bed, coffer, cabinet), trying to make it so all bedrooms are smoothed, engraved and contain only high-quality furniture...
  Do you have economy on?  I'm scared of buffing up my dwarves' shacks in case they can't afford my masterful engravings...

two champions, a handful of Lords of various weapons... Tower out front with crossbows...  I oughta be ready.
  Sounds like you might be too ready.  :)  Don't expect a legion to arrive at your doorstep.  But the first couple waves let you work out the kinks in your defense.  Then eventually you make kinks for a challenge!

After the wrestler died, the Royal Guard eventually got it together and started moving around eating and drinking.  Weird.

I tried the active duty, telling him to go somewhere else on the map.  No go.

He just died, and the Royal Guard is still standing there, starving to death. :(  Oh well.

Anybody else have this happen?

DF Gameplay Questions / wrestlers stuck on each other ??
« on: November 11, 2008, 09:12:47 pm »
Hi folks-

I have a couple Champion wrestlers on the same square, I believe they are sparring but they are locked on each other.  At least, I think that's what is happening.  They both have armor in their right hand.  One is a Royal Guard the other is a regular Champion wrestler.  They are both dehydrated and starving now, and unhappy but have no other injuries.  How do I get these champions to stop sparring, detach and go eat/drink ?
