It was obviously attempting to make a dramatic entrance by flying down into the magma, and exploding out.


It also obviously forgot that magma is hot.

Legendary Artifact:  Ordir Odkish "The Inceneration of ferns" a dog leather loincloth.

This is a dog leather loincloth. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  This object menaces with spikes of dog leather.




I cannot wait for this fortress to succumb to Fun, so I can get an adventurer to claim that wondrous prize.

That dwarf should be the leader of the military.

He's the only one with 'stones'.

If the terrain is dangerous then change the terrain.

Or maybe it's just a bug that should be fixed? Dwarves might be stupid but I cannot imagine Urist McSwordmaster to go "Hah! Just dodged your attack fiend! Say, why are me feet meltin'?" on every troglodyte he meets.

Besides: lava flows should be an integral part of any fortress ;)

It's not a bug.  Your dwarf is just leaping away from a sword, claw, ect.  You just happened to make them fight near Magma.


Which...would make you the bug. 


Happens to me all the time in Adventure Mode,  frustrating, yes.  Bug. No.

They can still fight.  I'd imagine they'd either dodge less, or miss more. 

However, since they're legendary the difference might be completely moot.

Had a Dwarf recently that I nicked-named 'Immortal' was heavily damaged in a siege. His legs are broken and mangled, spraying blood. His hands are broken and mangled. Oozing blood. Arms are the same, Head skull and brain are the same.  Liver is the same. Lungs are the same. Eyes. Heart.  Everything. EVERY SINGLE PART OF HIM.

He is literally bleeding out of every orifice. He's unconscious and in extreme pain, Heavily bleeding, and completely unable to breathe.


Now, that all sounds run of the mill.  That Dwarf should die soon. "Haha." You're thinking "Stupid name to give a dwarf that's going to die soon."


...Alright, now what if I told you he sustained his injuries in a siege 4 years ago and he's been laying in a coma, oozing spraying blood, with two broken lungs and a destroyed brain...FOR 4 YEARS.

His thoughts haven't changed in 4 years. Almost like he's been frozen at the moment of his coma for all time.  They read: 'Immortal' has been ecstatic lately. He lost a pet.   He has sustained major injuries recently.  He is quite pleased with making an artifact.


It's almost has if his mediocre artifact crown is sustaining him.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Do Goblins Starve To Death?

Funny how sieges in DF are kind of the opposite from sieges in the real world, where the goal is not to rush the gates and directly attack the people within, but to cut off their supply lines and force them to either come out and fight you or face a slow death from starvation, while knocking down their walls with siege engines.

I guess that's why my forts never look like much on the outside. Just an extremely deep moat with a bridge that leads into a small foreboding entrance. There's basically nothing to aim a catapult at, and you've got no way to know if your siege is having any effect without daring to cross that bridge.

That's how mine is currently.   Except there's no usable water on the map until Spring, due to drought not freezing.   However, I lost my miner and 40 dwarves and I'm down to barely scrabbling an existence.


Second question: if your miner dies, how do you get the next person you assign to being a miner to pick up the pick?   

I've already found the item stack in the fortress and set it to reclaim, but everybody seems to ignore it.

Bollocks.

Oh well, at least I have a sealed vault prison to keep them in,  I guess I'll have to dig down get some Magma and show those bastards why you don't siege me.

DF Gameplay Questions / Do Goblins Starve To Death?
« on: July 05, 2010, 01:02:22 am »
I have a bunch of Goblin Prisoners, and I figured a suitably slow death would be to lock them into a room and then have them starve to death.


But if they don't, I'm going to have to do something else.

Thankyou for the answers everyone! Rodya, I'm running 31.08, though I noticed some weirdness with the squads after everyone died. Originally the squad contained the militia commander and 3 axedwarves. When 3 of them were killed, looking back, the militia commander position was vacant, and the last remaining dwarf (Urist McTrainalot) was now the captain of the guard for some strange reason. Maybe this has something to do with it, or vice versa? Any ideas anyone?

In the military, in both real life and DF, if the guy above you is killed  you're promoted up in that squad unless the general (that's you) doesn't let him keep the changes  ;)

Artifact furniture can be built. Other than that, they're all worthless. This is why I never ever build a craftsdwarf's shop.

You say that until you find that artifact shield in adventure mode.


A diamond and oak shield encrusted with diamonds, with spikes of diamond?   Hell. Yes.

The third was a quadruped made of coal and a noxious breath that caused temporary dizziness and seemingly permanent blindness. He didn't feel pain and he didn't bleed. Even with a squad of Hammerlords, they broke all the body parts he had and even lopped a few off, but couldn't remove the head. Now I have a squad of blind dwarves and 22000 dwarfpounds worth of coal.

I fought a creature almost exactly like that... Except with a near instantly killing sting.


Hacked off all his limbs, and he still wiped out about 50% of my fortress.  I was under siege at the time though, so I just opened the door and let the gobbies and him duke it out.


...Didn't count on them winning and destroying my fortress though...

Went to a fortress that was overrun with goblins.

Flipped my "Flood the fortress switch" that I didn't get a chance to use.   Flipped them off and ran.


Proceeded to go to a Goblin citadel, killed a unique one eyed, pink, buffalo-man that acted as their Master.

Later was ripped in half by a titan of somesort. (was knocked unconcious at the time)



Did it all with one hand, with the nub of the other festering with an infection.

A toy bone boat, made out of the bones of the mayor.


I lost the fortress to lots of fun, but the memory remains.
