DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / My archers hate me
« on: April 25, 2011, 07:08:50 pm »
Ok so I created a squad of marksdwarves, set their weapon to crossbows and I confirmed that they have them equipped.  I set their ammunition to be wooden bolts for training, and I built an archery range and used one of the targets to create the room.  I set the direction, set that marksdwarves squad to train there...and they're not training there.  For each of them, it says they can't follow these orders.  Anybody got a solution???

Thanks guys

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Weapon Equipping
« on: April 19, 2010, 04:15:59 pm »
So I told my military to equip battle axes and after realizing I had none, I ordered iron battle axes to be made.  Then my miners stopped mining and I looked at their inventory and saw they had no picks.  Apparently the military had seized their picks as weapons and now I have no mining capability.  I first tried specifically setting their weapon to a specific iron battle axe that I had created but the battle axes wouldn't appear.  The axes were visible on the stocks menu and they were stored in a weapons stockpile but they wouldn't appear on the weapon list in the military screen.  Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Curses / Confusion
« on: November 16, 2008, 01:27:01 pm »
ok so I googled liberal crime squad, and I found a wiki.  I also looked on wikipedia and couldn't find any help there.  So I have a list of questions:

I've got a printing press up, but I don't see the option to print the newspaper...

Is it possible for me to buy weapons?  Or do I have to kill guards and police and take their loot?

I wanna start teaching my recruits vital skills to further my liberal agenda...how?

Also about half of the activities listed on http://lcs.wikidot.com/activities don't even show up on my list of activities to do...any idea why?

DF General Discussion / 2009 is the year of the Dwarf
« on: October 22, 2008, 11:50:47 pm »
Wow I thought this was pretty neat.  I took the Number and plotted it on a graph starting at 1295 and on down till the most recent number (which was 10/21 at the time of this post) and took the best fit line.  Based on the line, Toady should be done with the number and reach 0 by January 1, 2009, 72 days from today.  Of course this will change as Toady decreases the number and actually, the line doesn't take into account Toady's breaks at the end of the month so this isn't really realistic but hey just for kicks :)

and sorry Toady, not trying to set a deadline for you, just anxiously curious to know when I'll be able to ravage the world with my armies so don't feel rushed at all (and you probably won't)

DF General Discussion / Desperate High School Senior
« on: October 20, 2008, 12:02:13 am »
Yeah so as you can see, I've been bored lately and that's mainly cuz I'm supposed to be applying to colleges right now but have almost no idea which one to go for.  seeing as this site is populated by a modest amount of programmers, which colleges would you recommend applying towards? 

And to give this topic some relevancy to the area, I wouldn't mind being a game developer aiming for emphasis on content instead of graphics too

thnx :)

DF Gameplay Questions / Autopsy: Hacked to pieces because victim was unarmed while sparring
« on: September 04, 2008, 07:05:26 pm »
so if I have warrior dwarves who i havent yet set their weapon settings yet so that they can get armor and wrestling experience first, will they try sparring with dwarves who have had their weapon preferences set and consequently suffer horrible injuries or death?

DF Gameplay Questions / Bloodthirsty Fortress Creator
« on: September 03, 2008, 08:04:05 pm »
ok so I've been making this awesome fortress and I have some pretty good archers trained and I have a special spirally passage made of bridges connected to levers over magma that I'm just itching to try out yet I have been getting no sieges whatsoever!  all I've been getting are ambushes and I'm wondering how to trigger sieges. I just recently learned that elves and humans can siege you now (very cool) and I want to know the best ways to trigger them.  Any ideas?

P.S. my population is just over 100 and that was a bit recent so I might just need to wait and does killing and taking all of the goods from the elves or humans make them want to gut me with a siege?

thnx a bunch :)

DF Gameplay Questions / Short History
« on: July 27, 2008, 10:18:37 pm »
I generated a new world using the create new world now! option, not the design new world with parameters option and it only went to the year 200.
Is this a bug? cuz I thought that it's supposed to go to 1050...

DF General Discussion / Is it possible for ANOTHER band nerd to be interested in DF too?
« on: July 27, 2008, 08:45:37 pm »
Ok so just wondering.  I love Drum Corps and plan to join The Academy next summer and try out for Blue Devils or Phantom Regiment the summer after that.  Does anybody know what the heck I'm talking about or am I just shouting out to normal people...



and just in case somebody does know what I'm talking about, what's the Cavalier's show this year?  I know it's something Japanese...

DF Gameplay Questions / Are Tower-Caps weak?
« on: July 27, 2008, 08:26:17 pm »
I've carved out a huge room (100 tiles by 100 tiles approx.) so I can start an underground forest.  I haven't built my channel or even though of how it'll work but I was hoping I wouldn't have to move all the rock to allow the trees to grow.  Can tower-caps grow underneath rocks?  :-\

DF Gameplay Questions / Furnishing Requirements?
« on: July 12, 2008, 12:46:01 am »

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarven Fashion Tendencies?
« on: July 10, 2008, 09:33:51 pm »
My peeps' clothing are starting to turn to dust, and im wondering, should i go with leather or cloth?  cuz i have a ton of leather and im not sure if they'll automatically pick up leather clothes even if they dont have leather set as they're armor in the soldiering menu. 

and also, i looked at the wiki, and im assuming for dignity's sake that i should make under-clothes and over-clothes and not just the latter...is that right? or should i let them just deal with it?

DF Gameplay Questions / Traps
« on: February 18, 2007, 09:58:00 am »
i got a question about traps, more specifically about weapon traps that use arrows, i know how to build them, but im confused on their function. if you build one next to a wall, do they shoot their arrows across the hallway? or do weapon-arrow traps shoot arrows only at where they're placed?
