Or sponges with arms. And legs. That raid your fort to steal pants.

Capture them and let them work as slaves in the kitchen making burgers for your suspiciously fish-like dwarves.

I have a dwarf who prefers to consume sunshine. Yup, it just says "sunshine."

Sunshine is booze made from sun berries

To demons, it rather functions as cans conserving the meat inside.

Mine out a 3 z level high tomb hall with holes in the walls for the sarcophages, then try and let a waterfall run through it. Forgot that water could travel diagonally and didn't properly construct the pumpstack, resulting in my tomb flooding.

Was fun rebuilding the pump system to get the water pumped out fast enough so i could place the missing floodgate and link it to a lever. Had to dig a maintenance tunnel around the tomb to reach the pumpstack, since the walkways along the walls of the tomb got flooded pretty quickly. Luckily the water didn't come further than the tomb...

General Discussion / Re: USB headsets are crap...

I've had some similar problems with headsets. It appeared the wires near the jacks broke and i had to pu the jaks in all sorts of positions to get them to connect. In the end it turned out the plugs on the front of my pc were just bad, as i plugged the headset in the back plugs and it worked without any problems. Might be worth checking this. Else a higher quality headset would be the way to go.

Rock Paper Shotgun (www.rockpapershotgun.com) often focuses on these kind of games (DF as well), an excellent website if you ask me.

DF General Discussion / Re: GDC Austin - Dwarf Fortress Representation

« on: September 04, 2010, 05:33:46 pm »

I really like the article you wrote, you broke everything down into manageable and understandable pieces, and explained how a game like Dwarf Fortress -which on itself hasn't got any narrative- can make for as much (or even more) narrative as alot of games with a prewritten story. The only remark i could make on your writing itself is the occasional using of a certain word too close to each other (the usuage of "outside" three times in about ten sentences f.e.). Keep it up though, good luck with your presentation at GDC!
