DF Gameplay Questions / Re: List of Vampire Facts
« on: February 19, 2012, 08:36:34 am »
My ultra military vampire just died from arrow related injuries. The first time goblins shot him, he healed two of his three red wounds to yellow. They came back later and nailed him again. He had like 5 or 6 red wounds this time. He held on for a very long time and he finally just died.

So to properly feed one Vampire sustainably, without getting migrants, you need about 2 families who provide enough young dwarves to keep the Vampire happy.

Not quite, the victim is random and it could be the mother first.

Maybe you could do it with burrows, but if he decides to feed before you provide him a sacrifice, he may ignore that and go eat.

some times vampire do not, i repeat do not, kill the victims.
I had the captain of the guard (a female dorf) get till "PALE" but not die. because she woke up in the middle and went her way...but did not accuse the vampire.

I can confirm this, it may depend on the target dwarf. I saw my vampire go to the hospital. I was expecting a death, but the guy was left pale.
So for a moment I was confused as to what happened, if that guy was really a vampire. Then he killed someone else.

You are telling them
"Yes I know we are far too rich and big to be called an outpost, but if we become a barony the taxes probably go up and we need to appoint a sherrif and hammerer and I don't feel like it, so screw you."

Surprised the liason doesn't want to discuss what your "outpost" needs?

Considering the generous trade profit I give him, which will go to the humans and elves instead, yes he should want to discuss it.

Alternatively I guess I could just have him killed next time.

I find 2 4x4 rooms connected with a door work best for the mayor.
Smoothed and engraved.

One room is a dining/study with a table chair, weapon rack, armor rack, perhaps a cabinet.
the other is a bedroom with a cabinet, bed, and 2 chests.
This will usually do it. On the off chance that the people make stuff out of really cheap things, I'll have it hauled off and encrusted with gems or something.

You're lucky. I've got layers and layers of limestone, around 10 that are completely empty. The odd gem. Not a single piece of metal in them.

You won't be able to have a trade agreement until you accept the position of baron.

That's lame..before I can have a baron, no problem making an agreement, but if I don't want to actually become one, they won't make a trade agreement? awesome..

The last time the liaison came, the mayor was in jail for killing someone. He immediately left. He showed up this time, said his hello and then offered to make a baron, but I declined and then he just left. We didn't negotiate the things I wanted him to bring (which sucks because I'm not playing an easy map and need certain things)

I've got my third confirmed vampire.
The first in the military, the next two were found to be mayors.

definitely a trend here.

vampires who sustain red injuries do not seem to heal. I had my vampire locked up outside because they wouldn't kill him.

I put a fortification on the wall, and a goblin went up beside it and shot him several times. He sustained 3 red injuries. He hasn't healed and it's been a very long time. He did heal his previous beating which was yellow and blues very quickly.

Yeah, moss and grass are basically interchangeable. Are you sure the grass that you've seen regrow hasn't just been out of the mountain biome?

Yes, the only other biome is a tiny little piece down in the right hand corner.
The area was 90% mountain.

Yes, I am in a mountain biome, but grass has regrown. I've been keeping an eye on it. I've breached a cavern, I could move the sheep down to a mossy area, or I could expose a sand area to the south and let some more moss grow there first.
Does moss grow at the same rate as grass, so each sheep would need a 4x4 area at minimum?

according to the wiki, sheep need a 4x4 square to support themselves.
I made a farm for a male and female sheep. At most they've only ever had 2 lambs. As soon as a lamb grows, I sheer it and kill it.
it looks like this. It should be more than large enough. The loam is from a wall I had there. I decided to expand it.


the remains are honey bee remains. On an added note is there an way to remove that colony?

I hadn't played DF in quite a while.. I go through waves. I'll play it a lot then then take a bit of a break. I thought the new version would be a good time to try it again..guess not.

Kid overload
vampire overload
it's starting to add up to not a lot of fun.

I'm going to drop my baby cap way down. I notice its still set at the same as the last version I played, but something seems to be increasing the frequency

It's the "kills" screen for an immigrant. BTW, he was not a vampire.

I was scanning all my immigrants and I found THIS:




Is this something inside the game or perhaps inside legends?  More details on where this exists would be great.

What the HFS he is then, ex-Fortress Guard? Dwarves should not be killing dwarves... or is he a were-elephant?

I've seen general Dwarves with high kill counts. (~300)

One in my fort has around 550. He killed a lot of mosquitoes.
