Dont give them any weapons, and let them train in barracks.
Wrestlers are weak thou.
Wrestlers can hold down/tire an enemy while your axe dwarf cuts them into bite sized pieces.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: max mining depth
« on: June 26, 2010, 12:19:49 pm »
hey hey, ive only been playing DF for a few days, but am really enjoying it. anyway ive been playing along following along a newbie guide and have kinda got stuck, the guide has you download and use the same map as the guide so that u can follow along, anyway i decided to try my own fortress out and am kinda just following the guide to on my own fortress now...
anyway my problem is the guide map had a magma pool fairly close to the surface
, in my map ive been digging as deep as i can and havent found magma, ive only dug about 15-18 lvls down and have hit a point where it wont allow me to dig down or u/d stairways, so after all that I guess my question is, is there something I need to do to allow me to dig deep enough to find magma? or basically why cant i dig any deeper?

If its the guide your following, how did the guide get magma? :S

DF Gameplay Questions / Hospital Problem
« on: June 26, 2010, 12:02:01 pm »
I have a hurt Dwarf Baby and it refuses to go to the hospital, it has a torn open wound and a dent wound not sure the placement, but this would be the first time using my hospital. Im using .08 i have the zone set and bags with a bunch of equipment in them within the zone. I am at 60 population and a few more dwarfs/animals are requesting diagnostics.

The hospital contains tables and beds and is only lacking in soap and traction benches.

Can someone tell me what im doing wrong? My Cheif medic dwarf has all other jobs except hospital jobs disabled. Thanks in advance

I'm playing on a 2x2 freezing map with unground pools and a magma pipe, hard if not impossible in 40d.
I just dropped a 7z hollow box into the 2nd cavern to completely wall it off from the outside world.  That felt like an accomplishment. But what I should have done, and realised as soon as I dropped it, was make fortifications at the bottom of the box before dropping to allow water to flow through.  Now those undergroung lakes that were feed off the world can dry up inside the box.

Wow I never would have thought of that.  That's a good idea; much better than trying to complete constructed walls in the caverns before the Dralthas and Crundles get to you.  But do fortifications (in natural walls) actually survive cave-ins?  If so that could be useful.

I Dont know whats all in the first cavern, but my people took down the Dralthas with ease (3 Dralthas Vs 4 Dwarfs one with almost full iron armor equiped with an artifact steel spear and a plain steel shield, all armour is a grade under masterpiece. The other dwarfs have iron swords and axes and one other steel spear. The Dralthas did not hit my dwarfs once before they became an unconcious bag of meat sitting infront of dwarves... I was planning on using my hospital. My greatest challenge was the annoying naked mole dogs that kept going upstairs to my fort and attacking my war dogs and then doing a little dance while frightening my dwarfs that want anything to do with my major stockpile

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Best migrant
« on: June 20, 2010, 11:30:47 am »
Ahh, all my people died when the water froze over... tantrum spiral and my fort could have continued too! My last two people were a miner and a farmer migrant that came along in the last wave, my miner hit the farmer in the arm, so i made the miner doctor the farmer as well as he could but he could only put him on a hospital bed since i hadn't made wells on this save yet... the miner died from dehydration and the seasons changed and the farmer stayed until the fortress crumbled D: the 2 best doctors were along the first to go...

Quick and dirty way to deal with the others: dig out room, assign six dwarves to squad, move squad into room, seal room with wall.

Easier way, assign burrow in corner of map... Assign dwarfs... Forget about them.

I won't load the save file for this but it was something along those lines:

A brown jasper... encrusted with brown jaspers.

Was worth more or less 2400 Dwarfbucks.

Obvious post is obvious.

This mod is so cool, im using an older version without the hero dwarfs but its still awesome, my map keeps spawning forest spiders which are almost impossible to die from even if you are not armoured, my dwarfs always have food and the best thing they killed was either a cougar or a pack of wolves, whatever is tougher :D This mod is awesome.
