Bay 12 Games Forum

1. Different professions for civilized creatures, animals will just have a certain colour depending on their species (although babies are red).
2. They'll never disappear from the units screen.
3. This is Dwarf Fortress, do whatever you want! No idea is bad per se, although some have more potential to go horribly, horribly wrong than others... wells in every room isn't really bad at all, if you want to do it, go for it.
    1. I was unaware they even fell into wells at all, though if this is the case I would assume not very often...?
    2. Again, I have no clue, although (again, if this happens) I would assume at least adequate.

I usually give my dwarves 2x2 to start with, but then start giving them bigger and grander 'hovels' of their own later on when I've established everything. Some people just like quick and easy rooms, as it isn't too hard to make dwarves constantly ecstatic.

Also, welcome to the forums.

Meow meow, meow meow meow purrrr mew meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow, errrraaahhh erraaah errraah meow meow meow, purrr purr purrr. :/

Meow.

Meow.

I'd go put some more down just in case. You will poop yourself if you hear a skeleton's arrow fly past you while mining.

He speaks the truth - and it's probably a good idea to avoid as much poop as possible while playing this game.

Jesus.

Why is it such a big deal that someone else gives you a map?

Am I the only one who saw "Rat misses you badly!" and immediately assumed it was sad because I was gone?

English is not my first language. Any help or corrections will be greatly appreciated.

It's not that it's incorrect, it's just that it's worded strangely. "Rat lunges at you but misses!" or something along those lines would work better.

I wonder what would happen if we were to build a wall across multiple embarks, blocking off a trade rout - would the traders and their pack animals get to the wall and freak out, doing that weird crawl thing they do whenever they get attacked at your depot?

Because that would be freaking hilarious.
