also try not to wall off or build a floor over the HFS hole as this will kill your FPS as it seems that the Building Destroyer 2 creatures will spam the pathfinding algorithm even if there is not a path.

Put food in basements or covered warehouses to avoid being mobbed by animals that steal food (i.e. Vultures). Once you have basic food production and sleeping quarters assign all non woodcutters/miners to carpentry and build a wooden wall around your map with a 3-square wide entrance that you can fill with cage traps. Happy dwarfing you filthy surface-dweller you!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Your best artifact ever

2 fort years ago my armourer got a fey mood and claimed a magma forge. So i forbid every metal but adamantine. And so he created Ernamsheced "The Modest Carnality":
Code: [Select]
This is a adamantine shield. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of adamantine. This object is adorned with hanging rings of maple and menaces with spikes of granite. On the item is an image of a acacia in fungiwood.This artifact is worth 1336800 dwarfbucks.

DF Gameplay Questions / Marksdwarves or hammer dwarves
« on: September 26, 2011, 12:59:35 am »
I have a squad equipped with crossbows and i have assigned them bolts. I have an archery range and all the targets are set as archery ranges as well as having the instruction for the dwarves to train there. It has been a year and none of them have used the range;, instead, they are all training in their barracks and the dwarves that where recruits last year are now all hammer dwarves. WTF am i doing wrong? How can i get them to use the archery range so they can become marksdwarves.

walling off the circus causes major FPS drops for me i read on the bug report that the clowns will try to path into the fort constantly wasting precious CPU resources.

when mining candy I always save before digging down a level, so that if I happen to find an entrance to the circus I can save scum. I feel that the circus !!fun!! is hurt by the fps drop that happens when all the clowns star pathfinding into my fort.

My blacksmith has got a mood, all he is asking for is metal bars and shining gems. I have steel and iron bars and cut gems i don't understand what his freaking problem is. I suppose i could wall him off but i want an artifact dammit.

Any advice?

I just use migrants with any weapon ability and throw them in a squad and train them non stop

If they have ranged weapon abilities i put them in an archer squad.

my current fort has one axe lord, 3 sword masters, 1 mace lord, 1 spear master, and 1 elite marksdwarf.
I don't use danger rooms as i heard they mangle babies.

One of my sword masters killed a FB and now he has an artifact Obsidian Short sword

I am currently under my first siege so i will post how that turns out.
