Im not good with quotes so patience with me:
First question: can you assign a squad?
Second question: can you equip that squad?
Third question: do you understand the military metal heirarchy? What 2 metals are better than iron aside from Adamantine?
Fourth question: can you order your squad to station at a specific location or to kill a specific enemy?
Fifth question: can you assign a barracks to get individual weapon drills going?
1st yes , but its pretty confusing and annoying that i have to remove the whole squad inorder to change the leader.
2nd. well the dwarves say they pick armor right. but when i build training swords and assign it in the uniforms they dont seem to wear them or go for them, even thou they went for shields which i build and assigned at the same time.
3nd, bronze and platinum i think. ive read abit about metal heirachy. oh and silver for Hammers.* was playing in arena a silver hammer can Kill any dwarf with any type of metal , is this normal?
4th, killing they seem to kill it and yet they keep searching for something:O, i can order them to station , but during training they just stand there unlike 40D.
5th , ya but i dont think thier training they are doing it but they arent doing courses, they arent training together like 40D, the wiki is very confusing.

« on: May 30, 2010, 11:09:23 am »
From what ive read it says:
•It is safe to dig out a cistern one level below a murky pool, and to channel above a few tiles of the cistern so that your dwarves can get water from it without having to go outside.
•It is safe to refill a murky pool with water from a pump or brook/river/etc on the same level.
•It is not safe to do both to the same pool! The water from the pump/brook/river/whatever will fill the pool to 7/7, and will then pressurize the water in the cistern, which will then flow up out of your channels and flood your fort.
I guess critern means the well?. so wont that mean that the lake will get emptied since there no river supplying it.

Hey this is my 1st game and i have a couple of question i would love if someone can answer these questions :
1. militray : They wont sparr no matter what i try i thought it was because of meeting halls but they still wont sparr. I tried removing weapons , making them same weapons. I tried making barracks alot bigger they just hang around outside. same thing for my marksdwarvs in practise range they barely go there. i made sure thier standing down.they dont do any sparring at all. wont even train thier weapons.
2.Iron: I cant find any iron ore any where at all near me. Ive tried everything to reach somekind of iron ore but no luck. im digging tunnels at all Z levels but to no avail 0 iron ore around.
3. how do i remove an item from construction site?
4.Whats a good embark options for a starting df player?
5. is there a way to deal with cant build furniture on floor?
