DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Artifacts - mostly useless- help me find a use.
« on: March 01, 2012, 05:10:39 pm »
Spears are the wrong color for artifacts.  They are simply named weapons.  IIRC, dwarves will get the same bonus to attack rolls that artifacts get with them.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Trading Lavish Meals to Caravans

Create a new stockpile taht doesn't use barrels.  Then set it to only accept prepared meals.  Next set that stockpile to take from your main food stockpile.  Now all prepared food will be removed from barrels and placed in your new stockpile.

You can forbid all rocks except the ones you want them to use.  Keep in mind this will not auto-forbid new stone from mining/trade and will prevent dwarves from moving them when you dump them or try to build things on top of them.  IIRC, the latest version also lets you forbid the use of non-economic stone in the z-status menus under stones.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Vampire nickname fixed. Now what?
« on: March 01, 2012, 09:19:11 am »
If your suspected vampire is a noble, check what mandates he issues.  If they do not match his perferences, then it's probably a vampire.  For example you have a sock export ban, but your mayor doesn't have a prefernce for socks, then it's probably a vampire.  If you have an iron product mandate and the noble likes iron then it may not be a vampire.

Also check apperance descriptions.  Gray haired 45 year old dwarves are likely a vampire.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Rock pots vs barrels
« on: February 29, 2012, 02:37:22 pm »
Pots cannot be used in any processing labors (making syrup for example) or workshops that need barrels.  Pots also seem to hold less.  Other that they are functionaly the same.  Also don't forget that bins, buckets, and barrels can be made from metal in addition to wood.  Beds, axels, water/windmills are the only thing that use exclusively wood.  Beds can be worked around with moods or possibly mods.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Custom Profession Named Vampire
« on: February 28, 2012, 11:52:54 am »
Known bug.  Vampires migrate under assumed names.  Changing their profession or name applies to their real identity and not their assumed name.

Consider embarking with a dwarf who has a single skill point in Appraisal.  IIRC, you need at least novice level to see prices.  Also make sure you have an appointed broker and set it so only the broker does the trading.

Animal men just sorta sit around and do nothing unless threatened.  Just ignore them or go up and slaughter them so you can take their wooden items and food.

DF General Discussion / Re: Any good ways to remove dwarf's eyes?

1.) Mod in a custom syndrome that causes blindness. 
2.) Have a reaction that produces a food/drink that will use this syndrome. 
3.) Have a dwarf consume food/drink
4.) ???????
5.) Blind Prophet

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: vampire frequency

Generate longer histories to get a bigger chance of vampires.  Short history and there may not even be any that exist.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Have Expert in military Tactics, how do I use him?
« on: February 27, 2012, 07:25:08 pm »
There is no known use for that skill at the time.  Wait until militaries can be deployed off site.  Then the skill may have use.  However that's just speculation.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Nobel demands silver bed in bedroom, possible?
« on: February 27, 2012, 07:13:45 pm »
You can make a custom reaction to give him his silver bed.  Otherwise just deal with the unhappiness from having an unmet demand.
