He is still insane, though not attacking anyone, but rather running around my fortress naked and all of his clothes are outside :o.

You don't know how to control a siege enemy? Who are you, this guy?


Fixed.

There's always a good reason for doing senseless projects when you're a dwarf.

can anyoe explain me how does the skills work?

because

level 4 = 400
   +
level 4 = 400
   +
level 1 + 100

total=900

or the system are not like i'm thinking?

It does not work like you are thinking. In the chart, each skill level (far left) shows the price for that level (middle). Lets just use weapon skill levels as an example as I remember the pricing for that.
Lvl1= 100
Lvl2= 200
Lvl3= 300
Lvl4= 400

To get Level 4, it would be lvl1+lvl2+lvl3+lvl4=Level 4 weapon skill
That is 100+200+300+400=1000

You have to buy each level before you can buy the next level.

Yeah... this is the main reason I never seem to get a good military going.  I start out with two or three military dwarves who train each other up to champion then when I get the hordes of migrants and start pouring them into the military they all die in "sparring accidents."  Bah.

You need to train everybody up to at least elite wrestler before you give them weapons. Also make sure they have shields equipped during the wrestling training. This minimizes injuries during weapon specialization training.

Will his profession name be 'Slayer'  ::)

That's nothing. I had a dwarf hospitalize a total of 14 people in his career. 8 of them were elites or champions. That's also not counting his 7 friedly-kills. One of the elites he injured came and killed him in a "sparring accident" after he healed up.

What's wrong with 15fps? My first real fortress was in a human city and I only had 20fps max. I ran on 15-20 fps for 6 game years. Then I got a few huge migrant waves and some water projects going on bringing it down to 5-10. I played like that for 5 more game years. Then I finally said "This is too slow, screw it" and abandoned.

She didn't really "smash" per se rather than explode them on impact. She has an +Adamantine War Hammer+. I found bits on and pieces of her victims two z-levels up on my battlements.

Pfft! That's nothing. A chained Watch-Mule kicked a gobbo wrestler into a 10x☼Obsidian Shortsword☼ trap a few hours ago.

I found chunks 5 Z-levels up.

Almost as hilarious as the gobbo wrestler their predecessors beat up and sent running for his life.


That is awesome.
You must build her an epic-level mausoleum.


Agreed.

If you have magma-works, I like to make the only way in dip down into a door-sealed branch off a magma channel, like so...

Code: [Select]
++Tomb+
█+++++█
██▼█▼██
███████
██▼█▼██
█+++++█
+++++++

Underworks Entry Ditch
████████
████████
██▲█▲███
██+++++█
██▲█▲█X█ <-*Not* Magma-proof door/floodgate
██████≈█    So it melts after use
≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
████████

Seals the tomb, fairly easy implimentation, can be expanded on for nifty magma pools in said tomb with a little more digging - you can even chain an animal in the ditch as a funerary sacrifice for when you seal it.

Your exploded gobbo was hit by a sword trap. Swords are meant for hacking off limbs. Hammers are meant for smashing, not for hacking for limbs.

I will probably do something with a permaseal magma tomb as soon as I take the time to move the magma in the volcano from the other side of the map to where I'm at.

That fight was even more pathetic than mine I believe. I at least survived a few hacked off limbs as opposed to being stabbed in the arm then having it twisted.
