before my experiment it was like the rest screaming and pain!
now it's
mayor: Dang any one remember that lass from two nights ago?
drunk: Yup she dive into the carp infested waters poor soul.
mayor: Yea well she back and looks of it she got knock up but she not telling a soul who did.
miss adventurer gave birth to Flipper McCwarph
mayor: *looks at announcement*
mayor: Barkeep get me your best ale, rum, and beer and pour it all in a big bucket. If I don't drown the memory first, the booze can help drown me instead.

I'm afraid to ask...

What was the experiment?

I recommend building a platform 1 or 2 Z-levels higher than the river surface. Trap the walkway across the platform, preferably with cages, or provide access by underground tunnel. Have the platform overhang the river by use of levitating constructed floors with fortifications built at the edges.

And now you have a nice sniping spot to get rid of carp, hippos, and whatever aquatic beasties you have trouble with. Feel free to train your marksman here.

Bonus points if you turn the overhang into a (safer) arching bridge.
Bonus points if you put screw pumps on it that pump the water back into the river. With no real reason other than to train your dwarves.

Well, its a long walk form the fort.I caught some fire imps, and i was planning to just turn the entire map into a roaring inferno every autumn(the dry season). managed to get most of the map and with my Fire golem vs. rabbit tactic(13 hippos, 3 of them named) but a large number of hippos escaped across the river. I'm planning on using the imps to lob a few fireballs over, thus setting the whole world ablaze

I've already got a breeding pair and a few female and male calves tamed. the rest are making a nuisance of themselves

Migrate off the map?

Or will i have to build up an army and have an extermination campaign against them? I've got orc sieges to deal with as well

I was going to make a mod that swapped out all the chasm critters for new stuff that could fly.  It was supposed to be part of a full-scale mod that would make the rest of the world a little more inhospitable and savage, but not like some of these mods that are strictly for the difficulty.  This was going to be done with flavor.

I put it off for a long time, and now the new version is coming out so...   I think I'll just wait and mod the next version to suit my needs.  Of course, terrain features are going to get revamped, so the "all-flying chasm critters" patrol won't exactly be relevant anymore.  I still think it's an interesting way of getting around it though.


And I'm still going to introduce the "Dragonfly"...   Oh yes indeedy.

thats going to be one of those giant dragonflies that was buzzing around during the Mesozoic, isn't it?"shudders"

NP. hope you can get it to work.

I had this problem too. I think it might have been that i was playing that DF for a while then, so that may have had something to do with it.

What i did is just re-downloaded another copy of DF and put it in a separate folder, then replaced the stuff in that one with the DD stuff.

without playing the world?


I found an awesome site, but now whenever i try to load up the file to play my fort there, it crashes. anyway i can get world-gen info?
