DF Gameplay Questions / Crossbow Range?
« on: March 30, 2010, 04:42:52 pm »
I built a 4z tower above my entrance, and I was wondering if a marksdwarf could shoot down from such a height.



The tower has a mini barracks and small food supply for the troops stationed within, just letting you know.

I recently had a goblin siege, and I was wonder if their was a quicker way to gather their stuff then k then f(claim). Also, I had 23 champion wrestlers, now I have 19. Anyway to lower this death toll? 

EDIT: My only cage trap captured their "Goblin Axe Lord". What should I do with this fine fellow?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Destroyed Towns?
« on: March 16, 2010, 06:31:19 pm »
I wandered into the human controlled civilization zone looking for a town to get a quest and to sell/buy supplies. Lo and Behold the first "town" I got too looked like it was unfinished. The walls were never completed, no doors and also no sign of life. I move to the next town and the next and next to find the same thing. The last "Human" town in this area was complete, except it was infact an eleven fortress retreat, filled with millions of horrible elves. So I ask you, why are these towns uncompleted/ marked as a Human civilization?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / And the earth was split
« on: March 12, 2010, 05:14:57 pm »
Hello fellow, more skilled, fortress makers! I pondered whether or not to make this, and I made the wrong choice to do so! Any hows, I found a sheer drop chasm which splits into several other directions. It touches the bottom of the world itself. I was wondering if this would interest anyone. Being the new player I am I don't know how to get world gen data, so telling we would be helpful.

And of course pictures(taken in adventurer mode, thanks visual fortress)





PS. It's right next to a dwarf fortress, but sharing is caring!

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / How to drink?
« on: March 11, 2010, 04:46:03 pm »
Recently started to play adventure mode to see my fallen fortress, but that's a different story. The title might be a little misleading, as I know how to consume items(thank you wiki) but how do I pick up more water and drink it? I lack a water skin.

DF Gameplay Questions / Transfer water?
« on: March 01, 2010, 04:41:06 pm »
I read somewhere on the forums that I could tell my dwarfs to transfer water via a bucket, i.e make a pond. Is this true? If so how? Sorry if this question is noobish and short, but this would help me alot with mountainous fortresses where the water is at a lower Z level.

DF Gameplay Questions / Hunted to death?
« on: February 25, 2010, 06:11:43 pm »
So in my new fort, I lacked soil. So because I couldn't get food from farming, I made a hunter and gave him a cross bow.  He was a good resource of food so I made two more people hunters. A while later I noticed that their statuses changed from "Hunting" or "bringing back animal(or whatever) to sleep and such activities. I look at the bottom of the U menu to find all the wild creatures are deceased. ALL of them.  This is my main source of food, and I've begun to capture vermin and such, but will the larger prey ever return?

tl;dr  Will creatures come from off map?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Over Powered Hunter?
« on: February 23, 2010, 07:39:41 pm »
Hey guys, I'm pretty new to DF, and this is my first "know what I am doing, oh wait I don't" Fortress. Any hows cutting to the point, I have a hunter for my main source of food. Well many hunters but that's not the point. I live in calm surroundings and such and when I looked at the kills of one of my hunters out of interest, I noticed it had two odd kills, or at least one odd kill.



I remember seeing on the wiki that it's powerful, or is that only in adventure mode?
I'm also in a mountain biome.
