DF Gameplay Questions / Are Invincible Creatures Gone?

« on: September 18, 2010, 11:59:50 am »

I'm going to start playing again but was wondering if invincible creatures like sentient blobs of water are gone. And are bronze colossi still pretty much invincible? Are there other general glitchynesses still around from the underground update.

DF Suggestions / Draft Using V Menu

« on: April 30, 2010, 10:58:13 pm »

So we all miss the ability to get dwarfs into the military using the v menu but it would not work with the new squads system. My suggestion is to have a draft. The way it would work is pretty simple, dwarves could be marked for a draft in the V menu. After being marked for the draft the dwarf would appear highlighted and at the top of the list of the military screen. Marking dwarfs for the draft would not be necessary, that is they could be recruited without being marked, the draft would just serve as a convenience and would save a lot of time looking through pages of dwarf names.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How to Tell if a Civ is extinct.

So I am about 5 years into my first fortress in the newest version and I'm starting to worry that the mad dwarfs of my world killed everything else off in their thirst for powah! I have only gotten caravans from Dwarfs and have not seen a single goblin or kobold.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How do I get vermin out of cages?

« on: March 21, 2009, 12:53:06 pm »

I had some elves killed and they had some caged vermin that were tame. I decided to let them out but when I build the cage and unassigned them my dwarfs just throw them in animal cages. How do i get them out?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Need help with super weapon.

« on: February 22, 2009, 10:18:00 pm »

So I'm constructing my first super weapon and i have run into a bit of a snag. The weapon requires my bridge to become watertight but the bridge is used for caravans so i need a 3 tile long wall/blockade of some sort to be appear when I use a lever. The problem is levers dont work with walls or anything of that sort. The closest thing i could use is doors but they need walls on both sides so at best it would mean only traders on foot could get in because there would be walls in the middle to work with the doors.

I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say here.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What to do with unstoppable forts?

« on: October 18, 2008, 04:33:43 pm »

Well my third fort has managed to get to the point where it is unstoppable. The goblin invasions have had there highest point, where huge attacks would happen minutes appart, but now they have dwindled and i will be lucky to get an ambush in 2 hours of playing. Even the larger sieges never made it past my first line of defense and i have yet to encounter a megabeast. My fort is pretty much self sufficient, i can leave it alone and there is enough food and entertainment for everyone, all 213 of them.
So my question is what should i do? I was waiting for an epic goblin siege to finally do me in but it appears thats not about to happen so what should i do with my lovely, yet boring fort? Im making a doomsday machine but this takes time... A LOT of time... Im willing to mod the raws to bring some sort of an epic ending to my fort.
