DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Money questions
« on: March 17, 2008, 01:49:00 am »
Thanks for replys.

I built alot of 3x3 and 3x5 rooms, everything is smooth, and some engraved by legendary, and since my carpenter and mason are legendary too, most of furniture is a masterpieces. So now i need to build cell block for poor and leave good rooms unused. Lol ok.

On the other hand all those extra migrants pretty useless. They only can produce more goods of no use. I already make about 10 times more goods than i need to buy out all caravans including elven wooden crap. Goblins never killed more than 8 dwarves/year. Without crossbows they usually fail to kill anything but dogs.


And btw. I dont want to start new topic just quick question: I bought 20 brand new dogs for my soldiers, but how can i free them from cages?

DF Gameplay Questions / Money questions
« on: March 17, 2008, 12:25:00 am »
So my fortress survived long enough. I got over 100 dwarves and those purple guys came to my fortress. Baron, baroness, tax collector and all that lazy scum. They demand a lot but i can`t see why do i need them.

All my rooms, built for free by dwarves and for dwarves now cost 400-500 coins to them. Nobody seems to take free rooms anymore, they sleep in barracks. So i made 20 more marksdwarves and another barracks.

I made 10000 copper and 1500 gold coins, but nobody takes it.

And who pays who? It`s all somewhat strange. Dwarves had some kind of communism - everyone works, everything for free. When they reached population of 100, they suddently became capitalists and can`t afford houses they built?

Anyone pays them for job? Or they should take money from pile?

How does this system work? Any parallels with real-life financial systems?

If i kill those nobles and bury them in their super-expensive mausoleums will i have my communism back? Then I will call it first dwarven commie revolution lol.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Barracks question

You can make bedroom for every civilian and assign beds to them personaly. They will always sleep on their own beds.

I build room for every dwarf like this:

code:

####.####
#C0#.#0C#
#.././..#
####.####

Or else:
code:

####.####
#C0/./0C#
####.####
#C0/./0C#
####.####

(0=bed,C=cabinet,/=door,#=wall)

They seems to like bigger bedrooms more, and even more if stone is smooth.

...
And about blood, if you didn`t place archery target in barracks, soldiers don`t hit anyone(unless they go mad or something). But sometimes they can hurt/kill each other in sparring.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Question about Tsarists aristocrats (nobles).

I had about same questions in other thread. http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=7&t=003575


From what i learned about dwarven capitalism(thanks to umiman) taxes seems to feed nobles and nothing more.

Viva the revolution! =)

Thats what I dont know - how to order to burn trees and melt ore? Can you explain it like for noob? There is no wood burner or smelter workshop in the list.

Somehow my weaponsmith made a copper artifact warhammer while i was trying to do something with that.

I built a metalsmith. Now i cannot figure how to make charcoal and/or bars of metal, burn trees and all to make metal items. I've reached lava river and didn't manage to make something out of those piles of ore filling all my fortress.

Maybe its good idea to add it to wiki too. There is a lot of info in metalsmith section and everything is quite useless to me. Its mostly a list of items smith can make.

If they are playable in adventure, with point assignment(not "play now!") and don't replace other race, i want the link.

I don't think adding undead is something urgent. While there is no magic and necromancy undead don't really add anything to game.
Say adding minotaur civilisation with labyrinth fortresses would be much more interesting.

I see another use for wars here. Ruins is just a destroyed buildings full of corpses. I have no idea who will animate dead, tho.


code:
Goblin master necromancer cancels animate Guard corpse, interrupted by cat(Tame).
Cat(Tame) is struck down.
Goblin master necromancer animates Guard ghoul!
Goblin master necromancer animates Cat demilich!

Personnaly, I never thought of any kind of "challange" while playing DF, HMM or Settlers or any economic strategy. In this kind of games you can just sit back and relax, enjoying the process of building your little empire(or not).

PS. Speaking of challange, i was trying to build my last fort entirely inside of a goblin fortres and almost succeed. At least i killed a lot of them with wooden weapons. :P

DF Bug Reports / Re: Dwarf Fortress on Vista
« on: March 04, 2007, 09:12:00 pm »
If you decide to downgrade from XP or 2k to vista know - you will have fps decrease in almost all the games and graphic apps are slower too. This is all tested and benchmarked. However if you have uber-pc you might not see any real difference in perfomance.
Other than that vista dont provide any useful features that makes it better than xp/2k in any way.

DF Bug Reports / Re: Barrels full of food, Dwarves still hunt for vermin
« on: February 27, 2007, 11:40:00 pm »
My best metalsmith is died from starvation aswell. Other dwarves hunting vermin and "cancels give a food - no food avilable". I got 139 items of food in barrels and my cook prepares lavish meal non stop.
There is also 2 fields 10x10 with farmers working on them. No door to kitchen or food storage some swarves still smart enough to take some plump helmet from storage and eat.
