Lava doesn't flow off the map but it will flow right onto the edge so you can "end" the brook permanently.

Even if magma doesn't flow off the map it should still flow into the fortification squares.

don't use the wood for anything- they're more pissed about how many logs you have than the total trees chopped down.

You've either got a very abnormal material, goblins with crazy body temperature, or several tiles are bugged to be abnormally hot.
My money is on goblins being crazy hot.

Some number of roads is also needed to trigger the arrival of your ruler via that particular method, right?

If you're not above using utilities you could make him a champion so he'd pick up the pick as a weapon then make him not a champion so he could be a miner again.

in 40d11 they often gain wrestling faster than the weapon they are using. In 40d they don't get a whole lot of wrestling without being unarmed, either by setting or because there's a problem using any weapon they may be carrying.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Re-embarking to the same site, not reclaiming
« on: April 27, 2009, 04:31:55 pm »
Getting your old fort back is called reclaiming. Maybe a utility will let you edit the embark options so it's basically the same as embarking.

I got tired of doing many constructions so my mining entrance that keeps a height advantage for marksdwarfs is:
Ramp down, several spaces of tunnel and the down stairs about crossbow range. Up stairs below them with another set of ramps at the entrance edge. Channel out down stairs and remove up stairs.
Fortification room on z -1 with entrance going underneath it on z -2.
For giving yourself time to mobilize the military the first ramps down go in the middle of the map. For added security you can channel away some tiles on z-2 to build a bridge over and the make it a pond later. Maybe even put a branch path just in front of the bridge so sieges get peppered heading in and then potentially several times more while they traverse the lengthy secondary entryway.
Now, I realize that with z-1 being sand you'll have to (C)onstruct the fortifications at the entryway but putting up three or five of them shouldn't be a big deal.

Ants aren't really set back by collapsing the hills they make and they don't have can_learn so any soldier is as good as any other. If you really want ants to have some "fun" you need to flood their fort with magma, or alternatively concrete.

Make it be in sync.
That's not really a clear enough description of the problem. Are things squashed? Do you see the screen flickering back and forth between old images? Do words have weird blobs attached?

Curses square was probably what you were using before but with those packs you should have some other files in that folder now.
In the init folder you can look for any of the entries about fonts. With graphics turned on you need to look at the graphics font option instead of regular windowed/fullscreen.

If I end up with a breeding pair of cats I try to kill the females instead. All if takes is one immigrant with a male cat to suddenly knock up however many female cats that adopted themselves or showed up with previous migrants.
If a female shows up and I have ten male cats big deal.
