I highly suggest making a second Orc civ with Can_Speak on from the word go, because Orc traders are awesome.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Fortress reclaim and lack of life?

The nemesis error remains a mystery; it should be solved, and i've had forts where i crashed out and never saw any problem.
But then, just when you think it's gone, it rears it's ugly head again.

DF Bug Reports / Re: Odd Digging Bug

Does sound similar.
I think the dwarf 'dug' the ramp out, the game then realised that ohshit, thats open air, ramp can't fit there! And so it moved it down a level to a place where it -could- fit.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Channel tiles dug under?
« on: April 25, 2009, 04:48:04 am »To channel, you have to access the tile from a cardinal direction (not diagonally). This can cause some headaches at times, but you can usually make it happen.
I've seen Dorfs channel diagonally before.

DF Modding / Re: Hacking underground river discovery
« on: April 25, 2009, 04:33:15 am »I worked on this a while ago and didn't really get anywhere. I took a another look at it today.
There isn't a specific flag that can be set. Every time the game places a tower cap or underground shrub, it consults a list of map features. It scans that list to see if there is an underground river or pool, and then checks if that feature has been discovered. I'm really iffy on what will happen if I tell the game to act as if a feature's been discovered when it may not even exist on the map.
Try it and find out, for SCIENCE!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: River..Pressure?
« on: April 24, 2009, 08:24:31 am »Water that falls down a waterfall retains the pressure of the river above.
So if water falls down 7 z levels, it now has 7 z levels worth of pressure and will fill up to those 7 z levels. This is why you never build waterworks downstream of a waterfall, without first pumping the water to neutralise it's pressure.
*Looks at his current waterway set-up*
Uh oh
Somone's about to have some fun.

The bin actually prevents water from putting it out, that's why you need it

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: exceptionally good spot for embark! - Universes of Omen
« on: April 24, 2009, 08:04:56 am »Excellent. A terrifying setting was the one thing lacking from Dwarf Heavan! Do you have any mods on this? Like, if I run it with the Orc mod, will I still get it? Anyone?
sadly not without editing the orc mod. there was one entry that was interfering with it and making it generate differently. i did get it to generate properly after figuring it out that it was the giant wood spider entry that was throwing things off.
remove that from the orcs and the world gens perfectly.
Whoa, now it's completely different!

In this case you're probably better off channeling out a 'hole' in the middle of the obsidian cap you have and dropping more magma in, assuming the water under the cap isn't connected to the rest of the ocean it shouldn't rise up and fill in the hole.
