ok i zipped a starting save region and loaded it to the ddfd. its under community games "Bookproblems"
let me know how you go, maybe we can play a succession with it?

Ok. So how do I share them, just want the save game?

I danger room my marksdwarves at the archery range -  set up a row of 3x training spears where they have to stand to shoot and have the lever ok repeat whenever anyone is at the range.  I like to think its teaching them to stay calm and collected under fire (keeping their xbow on target while being prodded in the face with an -alder training spear- ).                                                                                                 

Also I kinda want to know what action resulted in the gain or loss of skills and attributes. It also educates the player in what does and does not affect skills and attributes....

Urist mcdwarf is tough from pump operation
Is adept mason from craft stone table
Is proficient cook from masterwork lavish meal

Have filters if you don't only want to read gains or rusts. It helps also to think, gee my guys haul all the time/collect sand and they don't gain strength or glassmaking skills, good to know. Also gr an idea fastest skill gains if that's the way you want to go (ie training vs live combat )  . The system is already working it out, I just want to see it.

I want a report when my dorfsss level up a skill and particularly during combat training. I want to see a teacher tried to teach dodging to students, some of which gleaned more or less extra skills but resulting in teaching student or observation skills. I want to know they are trying whether it results in skill increase or not.

Hi all,

I've embarked on a neat 4x4 with lots of stone and metals, scarce trees but low level magma. The shape is fun but I need some advice on how to fortify - suggestions on where to build moats and walls and the entrance to my fort. I've never played with pit/dodge traps so I want to include those. There are the links to aboveground maps.



Thinking I might carve the upper hill into a barracks or entrance way after I make it more regularly shaped.

EDIT - images too big

She walked out of the room.  "And somebody fix that chair!"

A migrant dwarf scurries quickly after the mayor as arguments rapidly break out in the meeting room over the decision to seal off the caverns for now. "A wise decision, your, er, your Honor", he stammers, pushing his glasses further back on his nose. They seem entirely made out of glass with intricate arms and lenses. "Gordy, er, Gordy is my name and I was wondering, well, since we have red sand in abundance and.. well. I'd like you to look over this.. when you have time, of course. The sand here is of good quality. Very fine. We can use it for all manner of items from, er, doors and walls to gems and traps. Very versatile. Our miners will be easily excavate through the sandstone, er, here, and here. Close to the looms, you see.. close to the sandbags?". He hands over a sheaf of meticulously written plans though the Mayor continues to walk away.

"I voted for you, by the way?"

(OOC: here's a link to the plan image, i hope it works. http://www.img.ie/12903.jpg I want to set up shop in the sand next to the loom and farm plots under the Docs HQ. Burrow out some plain sand chambers for two workshops but enough for four with a line of sand between for a collection zone. if I may have an urist, set him to own one of the workshops and collect sand on repeat. make gordy dwarf own the other and make raw green glass and blocks on repeat. when enough sand burrow 5 x 5 rooms and wall them in green glass down to 3 x 3 and pave floors with any stone. If no urist, let gordy collect his own sand. make stockpiles of empty bags, sandbags and raw glass nearby. When the rooms are built, install a bed, green glass tables and chairs for each an office, dining room and bedroom.

EDIT - i need 5x5 rooms to wall down to 3x3, doi! so the mined areas will overlap until the walls are built.

Great, and thanks. I'll check the map for where the glassmaker suite might be situated. red sand for green glass ahoy.
