Try setting the minimum and maximum temperatures really low.

Be careful not to go too low or your dwarves will find themselves facing the coldest temperatures found in antarctica... or deep space....

I don't really care much for veins of ore or whatever that cross through the rooms I make. Unless it's a particularily valuable ore like iron, I'll try to relocate a bit. As far as the bedroom areas, I just leave it as is and if I'm desperate for some particular ore or whatever, I can always scavenge it from there and create new bedrooms.

Seriously though, some stuff like Microcline and Alunite are so common that they are unavoidable (although getting the 'you have hit alunite!' alot does get annoying along with the screen jump).

I don't have OCD anyway.......

Sounds more like a case of dwarven stupidity to me.

Not sure what was with the hunter though.

Is this while playing fortress mode? cool. As far as I can tell, the age of heroes tends to kast at least a thousand years, and with my fortress in the early 300s, it'll be a very long time.

A pregnant mare probably wouldn't make a good warhorse (or ambush-horse for that matter), at least until the foal was weaned.

I see, I was confused as far as the wierd way the wells work.

okayy.... that sentence was wierd somehow. eh whatever.

I can't find Sarek in the Dwarven language file. Or any other language file, either.


Either he misspelled it (somehow), he's lying (happens a lot here), or he's using a mod that includes a few new words (developed by a star trek fan).

And yeah, first names come from language files too. Only the semi-coherent kobolds use randomly generated words.

......

I'll give you proof

I am using the Mayday mod, and after I post the screenshots, I'll try to search for sarek.

Edit: It's apparently the word that means echo. It may have been added by Mike Mayday.

I've noticed that the hippos will generally just run away and avoid dwarves. I tested by having my woodcutter chop a tree not far from the river where some were on the banks, when he approached, the hippos dived right into the water.

This is simply while doing nothing that would provoke them (hunting and harrass wild animals). So, I guess as long as I don't provoke them, they should be fine. I'm still keeping clear of the river, both because of the carp and because I'm not sure if getting too close to the water would provoke them.

The dwarf traders escorts did go after them, but they'll go after anything.

Edit: Spoke too soon, a rampaging male one went after a couple of immigrants.
