He'll be let out at some point probably. Shame it won't be long before the Veterans splatter him off a few walls

Finishing off the moat on my first fortress, that was ages ago now I think of it. I'd made a small outside gatehouse (I was building into the side of a sheer cliff; an excellent starting location that I can't find anymore ). The moat I was building was too far above any other water source, plus I channeled through my farm area in the soil layer. Plus when I finished it, I had to dig a side passage so I could put the drawbridge in. I was spammed with about 10,000 cancelled jobs as dwarves tried to get wood etc. from outside. Damn.
Now I build the defences before getting the fortress too big.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Combat - is there a point to training melees?
« on: May 08, 2009, 03:52:14 am »
Melee is more challenging. A small startup fortress can slaughter whole sieges through point application of markdwarves.
On training, my first squad is never trained as people generally do (wrestling then weapon skill or vice versa), as I haven't got the time. Only in later game (read: 80+ dwarves) do I start up military training properly... before that my dwarves spend more time patrolling than sparring.

It's not technophobia. I was just wondering if there was one.
Let me reiterate. I was wondering if there's an installer for 40d9 or 40d11. I don't care if there's not. I was just wondering if anyone had made one. I am perfectly competent using a computer. I know about the release category on the DFFD etc...
@Smew: so what, you never patched it or anything? Cos that game is unstable for half the patches on different computers, it's working out which one is stable for you (around 2/3 split on 1.004 and 1/3 for 1.005 and 1.006

He is going to be a killer, sparring in the barracks. Maybe wrestling before giving him a pointy / heavy object to teamkill other dwarves?

« on: May 06, 2009, 09:38:42 am »this looks so awesome. the graphics remind me of the game xcom: UFO defense which was another awesome game.
Dwarf Fortress + XCOM. Being able to control dwarf squads properly, as well as actually do proper inventory management for your armies in the Army Arc. Mmm....
