Somewhat offtopic but you do realise that if you've struck HFS ore you have much more Fun things to do than fight goblin sieges right?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: How uncommon is this?
« on: October 18, 2009, 06:46:19 am »Elves are ultrahippies.
They will ONLY accept wood if it died of natural causes, and ONLY get seeds from plants that give permission.
They're also level 7 hypervegans, they don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

« on: October 17, 2009, 06:35:53 am »Why do you think the elves don't use wagons. Just because of the trees?
Does this mean there's a chance they'll bring one in a cage then?
I guess toady was a Brave Little Toaster fan.

A meme's the flu in a kindergarten only instead of sneezing and coughing you've got bad jokes and photoshops.

There's cheaper things to trade with the elves/humans that might work better...

I can't change any labors for random dwarves now, even dwarves within a given custom profession are locked. The old version still works fine. Old mayday 40d (no #).

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: How do i get Engraving started? Oh, and Making METAL.
« on: September 16, 2009, 04:02:27 am »
Iron, steel, and something else are your three useful metals for armor and weapons. The wiki explains how the first two work and how to make/get them. My suggestion is to just dig tons of exploratory tunnels and use "up/down" stairs to make going up and down easier, if the metal's on the map you'll find the ore that way.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Useless liaison
« on: September 16, 2009, 03:56:22 am »Dwarf Therapist probably explicitly excludes all dwarves that aren't from your civilization - you might try Dwarf Manager or, if that doesn't work, Dwarf Companion.
Dwarf Manager only shows your dorfs last time I used it.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: starting out.
« on: September 13, 2009, 05:17:45 pm »
The only things I'd say you absolutely need are novice in the usual useful skills (masons, carpenters, etc), some turtles, a single cat, a little silk (for your first moods), and then whatever else you feel is necessary/recommended and then with whatever you've got spare get one guy as high as you can in the grower skill. A high level grower can easily have you drowning in shrooms and booze pretty quickly.

Letting them vomit their guts out is the proper solution. Get an engraver to legendary and do everything and afterwards fill your meeting area with as much masterpiece and artifact crap as you can while growing way more food than you need so you can spam lavish meals (catsplosions actually USEFUL for something).
