DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Training your military

It's a good thing, trust me. It gives them boosts to their stats, and it gives them a good chance of avoiding each other's blows. Don't worry too much.

DF Bug Reports / Re: [40d17] Long standing rocket wagon/slowboat wagon bug [POSSIBLE CAUSE FOUND]

Interseting - I had the same problem with an absurdly fast wagon, but I never touched the raws in the slightest.

@random51:...Shit. I got to tell my girlfrien-Waaaaait.

Well, I currently haven't had anybody attack me, and I'll probably replace it with a bastilla once I get a legendary siege operator. My military can handle anything short of a siege anyway.

Check the wiki's page on starting build design for ideas.

I made one of them, btw. ;p

My founding metalsmith got a mood. I tried the 'extra items by forbidding' trick, but the other dwarves just hauled the stuff away. I managed to get...an Iron boot. Decorated with wood, and of course, it menaced with spikes of iron. Hopefully one of my Champions will wear it and kick his enemies to death with it.

I tend to have those not-quite-dreams where you think about stuff in a dream-like manner but are fully aware of what you're thinking. One of my favourites was having a goblin set on fire by a hovering whale covered in pustules.

Absurdly valuable dragon pus (and absurdly low value dragon teeth)?

Best. Bug. Ever.

DF Modding / Re: A simple plant thing to increase difficulty:
« on: February 20, 2010, 07:58:21 pm »
Because growing a crop for 3-4 months and getting 2-3 plants out of it - a loss, considering how often dwarves eat - is not fun, Fun or any other type of enjoyable-ness. Losing may be fun, but not losing because your crops don't feed you. I don't think getting 20+ plants out of one seed is wise, but increasing the amount you get (say, on average, 6-7 plants) means people won't lose simply because they didn't start growing quick enough.

Good job thar. That'll make a lot of people happy.

Offtopic: Am I the only person who would like a big stickied thread for all these little mods that add only a couple of things?

Yeah, french clowns are puny. The calamari clowns and the fire-jugglers are the actually dangerous ones. Don't let the ringleader out. Try linking the cage up to a lever and releasing him into the path of a bastilla.

An absurdly wide, completely unprotected hallway. Okay, it has a catapult, but that's it for protection.

My Mason got a mood and shot straight up to Legendary Mason for making...a Bauxite Grate, with menacing mule leather spikes (which I slaughtered a mule for, obviously). On the upside, he has stupidly high skill now.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: What factors determine the animal types Elves bring to trade?
« on: February 20, 2010, 03:46:29 am »
@awayfarer:

When elves pack their animals, they pack cloth first, then food, then wood, etc. The better the trading, the more stuff they bring but they bring more cloth and end up leaving out the other stuff you care about.

Now, to balance out the longer grow times, you probably should increase the yields (if that's possible). Realistic farming is an often suggested thing, look at the 'Improved Farming' thread in Suggestions.
