Bay 12 Games Forum

I agree. I'll spend hours trying to gen the perfect site, embark on it, play a little, then leave for a while to make a different site. think i spend almost as much time on that screen as i do actually playing the game

well, got a few orc seiges. 4 hunters turned crossbow dwarves managed to destroy them with the help of careful bridge management before the bow orcs got close enough to take a shot. losses were a few dwarves outside fishing or hunting to trainup crossbow skill

so installing and applying that drowning trap to the halflings because they interrupted the dwarven caravan... wasn't... necessary?

Necessary, no. Fun, yes.

Dwarf fortress, where the necessity of a situation is subservient to how fun it is

so my habit of buying so much food and booze that i have enough to feed 200 dwarves for 15 years by the second year will finally come in  handy?

awesome

Just embarked on an Orc fortress by accident. I see fun times ahead

so what Should i expect from it?
I've heard how orcs like to destroy you by the first summer, but i play defensively, so I'm ready for that. anything i should know about that i wouldn't be prepared for?

well, Finally got Dwarf Companion to work, so i decided to make her(yes, its a she). so i build the cage she's in, and release her. Voila, my own tame kobold!

Several strange things happened, however. One, she has nothing on, despite the face that i didn't order her cage dumped.

Two, and most important, She seems to be still in the Cage! now, I can zoom to her wandering around the mountains, but the cage still says she's inside it.

so, what do i do with this Schrodinger's Kobold?

How do you think townspeople feel about Adventurers?

My thoughts are they admire them for doing heroics and saving the town from vile monsters, but at the same time they hate them.

They hate them because they need them to protect them from said monsters.
They hate them becausethey never come in peace, but only to either hunt monsters, or to bring a band of humanoids to lay waste to a settlement
They hate them because they garb themselves in the belongings of dead Settlements(both the ones they slaughter and long dead fortresses).

To thier faces, they call them adventurers, and lavish praises upon them, but behind thier backs, they call them Crows, for they feed of the suffering of others.

thats my thougts. you?
