The fact that a wagon thus takes up as much space as nine fully-grown standing and 8,991 prone dragons is both terrifying and awesome.

FTFY

Also, items in nested containers in one's backpack must be removed to show up in the list of wearable stuff.

It doesn't matter much to me.

I think the effort vs. the payout makes such editing unattractive. I'd probably just find some other quests; there's no harm in leaving things incomplete (beyond personal annoyance). However I also do not use utilities, so I don't know if it's trivial to modify the map; nor do I typically play in a pocket world, so I rarely lack for quests or places to explore.

Still, even if you found something so amazing and interesting as to win you internets or somesuch, and you choose to keep your "cheating" to yourself, I'd care precious little. I figure the primary goal is, after all, to have fun.

Is a keep nearby? That's your best bet.

edit: Assuming you're stalking a vampire. Is that the case, or are you supposed to be finding a night creature. The latter probably isn't in the keep.

where i can find a legend of the all simbol of the game?

Symbols are used to represent more than one specific object. The [ l ] ook command is most useful.

So, wait...how do you find sewer entrances?

Enter fast travel in a town. Switch the mini-map to structure list. Watch for "Sewer Access" to show up in that list. Drop back to the main screen. Look for a ramp or stairs down. Often these entrances are in alleys or off-street niches.

Alternately, look for a keep (or I presume a church). Often the underways will link together somewhere.

Go find another vampire, perhaps? They aren't too hard to track down.

Divert the river above the falls, possibly?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Concerning cages..
« on: February 19, 2012, 09:43:10 pm »
I've also been having trouble with cages...  I've captured many goblin thieves and my first goblin ambush group, but I don't know how to unequip all their stuff.  I tried following the poor wiki instructions, but nothing happens.  The goblins continue to call me a noob because I can't even disarm them.  :(

Any advice would be great.  Thanks.

1. stockpile caged goblins
2. [ d ] [ b ] to access area designations.
3. claim items (the items on non-site members are forbidden)
4. mass-flag the stockpile for dumping.
5. [ k ] and remove the order to dump from the cages.

I've not played fort mode in .34, but that has worked for me in past versions.

Demon type.

But perhaps you'll have the chance to meet ol' General Woundwort.

I don't mind the the relationship of the two, but it does bother me that food contributes so little to hydration. I've been wondering about that, myself.

Have you looked into the Legends? No secret-bearing books listed at all?

See Urist McHuman over there?

-Yep

He killed a hydra by throwing boulders pebbles at it.

-No way

Yep

-Nuh uh

The spinning bronze scimitar strikes the merchant in the skull, severing many arteries and crushing the skull!
