DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Capturing and breeding whales?
« on: April 07, 2010, 03:32:11 pm »I've installed a dwarven jacuzzi for my fortress's new meeting place. My dwarfs are learning how to swim as I type this...Dwarves only get swimming experience from MOVING in water.
I had them stand in the surf before, but the swimming skill doesn't seem to go past dabbling for whatever reason.

DF Modding / Re: DF:31.01 Number of Z levels on Embark

According to some tests I ran, the number of underground z levels makes no difference. Above ground makes a huge difference if birds are around.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Encrust ammo. Diamond tipped arrows?
« on: April 07, 2010, 11:34:27 am »God damn that's one sweet military creed. I've never liked the idea of shooter dwarfs anyway - I prefer using axes to split the enemies in half.
Vertically or horizontally? Because real Dwarves do everything vertically. They build vertically, they sleep vertically and they even get horizontal vertically.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: World Popluation
« on: April 07, 2010, 04:16:34 am »Raz and Pkassad- I've seen that a few times even in 40d, is it possible the goblins babysnatched so many kids the goblins themselves were wiped out? By this I mean, it's possible that it is still a "goblin" civ, but that all goblins are gone and instead replaced by non-goblins that are effectively goblins.Word has it that Goblins can't breed. So while they'd be slowly killed off, any babies they snatched would be able to reproduce and eventually replace the Goblins.

Though a large enough enough group o marksdwarves CAN break a siege easily. With no casualties. And make their shots look like a huge laserbeam if they fire in rapid succession next to the other Dwarves.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Fishing?

Check your stocks menu for raw fish. I didn't notice my fishers had caught 400 units of turtle until I did. I kept getting spammed with THERE ARE NO FISH HERE messages. Also, raw fish is not shown under "Fish" in the food-stock counter under z, either.

It's very possible. You need to capture them in cage traps, first. They will not suffocate while in cages. Next you need to tame them. Make sure the kennel is in 3/7 water so your training Dwarf won't drown but the Whale can survive, too. Voilą.

Archers will still ruin your day, they're just not the unapproachable gods of yore.Amen. Each of my killing sprees (200+ humans each time) was stopped by an archer.

More like "Age of Death by immortal creatures".

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Soap, anyone? Or Powder for casts?
« on: April 06, 2010, 10:01:15 am »
Update on the soap issue. For those of you who made soap through the manager screen: Check your soap's worth. Is it 1 instead of 100? If so, that might play a large part in why it's not recognized as soap. Also I confirmed changing the globs into blocks does not work.
