DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Saved by the cavalry!

« on: April 26, 2009, 08:27:49 am »

Yep, happened to me too. The ground was littered with the bones of humans and goblins. The last 3 made a run at my entrance door, missed, and got mauled to death by one of the 4 war dogs who was chained up there. The dog bled to death shortly afterwards. The statue of the "Unknown Wardog" stands proudly in my cemetary.

My first ever was a maple cup. Yay!

Follow up:

"This is a Jet sceptre. All craftsdwarfship of the highest quality. It is encrusted with Jet and encircled with bands of Jet. This object menaces with spikes of *gasp* Jet"

I used to drop my enemies into a long, thin room and decorate the walls with their blood, using a ballista. Brutal efficiency at its finest.

Hmm, I had the misfortune to lose a hunter within about 5 seconds to an aligator. Now I check the second biome to see if it's bad. These were the first two messages I ever got:

______ cancels hunt: Unconscious
______ has been struck down!

There is also the "volcano" bug, too.

Well, it would certainly stop a siege dead in its tracks. How long your dwarves could survived sealed in a watertight cave is another matter entirely.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: N00b farming problem

Ah, I'll try that. Haven't actually needed it yet, most of the other interfaces (building, tasks) seemed to have worked fine with the arrows.

Having done it now, my farmer walked in there then stood around with a "?" on him. He then walked out and got the seeds that I asked him to.

Thanks for the help and your patience on this problem.

DF Gameplay Questions / N00b farming problem

« on: April 18, 2009, 06:31:22 pm »

I have been playing for a (very) short while now, and on planting my first field I seem to have hit a snag. I have planted it on subterranian clay, and my farmers had no problem building it. However, now I can't seem to ask them to plant anything except for Dimple Cups (I have none). This is why.

I press q. I go to the farm. I can press a, b, c or d to select a season, but when I press up or down to select the thing I want I find it instead moves the cursor around. If I press enter, Dimple Cups are selected. Pressing f seems to do nothing, and z just deselects Dimple Cups.

Thanks in advance for any help.
