Bay 12 Games Forum

Well Silverbeak still stands, almost five years later.

We've created just over 400K in welath and exported about 330K, we've broken 80 dwarves and we have 722 seeds in storage(!).

We've survived three sieges and only lost five dwarves (two very early on as I mentioned a few pages ago.. One during a seige and two babies that were thoughtlessly carried into battle in what I can only assume was an attempt to test a new, somewhat unconventional, type of armor).

My army could be better but its ok, particularly my MarksDwarves.  I'm using Fortress Defense II so I'm sure pain is coming (already seen some signs of hellfire imps).

Until next time..

Second metalsmith 'mood' object:

Okirfesh, "The Elder Wings", an Iron Spear

This is an iron spear.  All crafsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  IT is decorated with vulture bone.  This object is adorned with hanging rings of plume agate and menaces with spikes of chert.  On the item is an image of Nawara Fataltunneled the Murkey Umbra the creature of evil in orn.  Nawara Fataltunneled the Murky Umbra is traveling.  The artwork relates to the wandering of the creature of evil Nawara Fataltunneled the Murky Umbra in the Forest of Vandalizing in the late winter of 8.

Hard core spear, will have to give it to my next captain (somebody who will have to train as a speardwarf I guess..).

Other then that the fort is going swimmingly, have tons of food, tons of drink, well system is up and running, have tons of fuel, a fair amount of iron and silver and decent walls to protect from the outside.  Heck we've already survived one siege (though it was a minor one).

Not saying that other things cannot be useful, they are just less.. Fun.. To each their own.  I gave them to my chief marksdwarf.

The worst is when you are carving out your great dining room and all of a sudden one corner clips into a soil layer.. Blahh.. Different rock types I've learned to accept as an inevitability but soil?!

If you go into the military(m) menu then go to equipment(e) you can see what they are equipped with to make sure they have the right weapons, don't forget to equip bolts/arrows in the ammunition(f) menu too and make sure they have access to quivers.

But other then that yea, dwarves always show up as whatever they are best at.

More badness.. While I breached the aquifer ok there was a huge amount of ice that melted flooding the downwards stairs so I have to work out a way to pump it out, beyond that heavy rainfall keeps it full of water.  Gonna try to drain it back into itself and pump the water out so I can get access to stone and continue building.

So the tally.. I've already had one migrant wave (only two..) and I have one dead, one bedridden from injury (though it doesn't look like it will be permanent), my one access to the lower stone levels is completely flooded.. Yea..

Ok, new fort again (was having issues so reinstalled the game, seems to be working now).  Found an area thats half terrifying and half joyous wilds with an aquifer, should be fun.

ETA: Heh.. There is also a second of regular "untamed wilds" as well.. Will this spawn creatures from all three biomes or just from one?

ETA2: Well got an answer, part of one at least, I've seen One Humped Camels and a Zombie fox.

Are you using any mods? One that comes to mind is Genesis (I think..) Mod that has dwarves that throw fireballs..
