Ok I'm feeling very stupid. How do I progress from a Grab to a lock?  I can grab stuff and strangle etc, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a lock so I can break somethings legs arms or various other appendeges.

Trying to fight undead with whips or pikes/spears seems to be almost suicidal.  

I don't know about this, I had a blast lopping off zombie arms, legs, and heads with my whip. maybe it doesn't kill them as quickly as other weapons, but definitely not suicidal.

Someone should mod them into a playable race, Giant Cave Spider Fortress would be very cool.

Theoretically, you could capture some fire causing creature and set it to be released from its cage and into a stockpile of alcohol when a pressure plate is triggered.

Build the cage with the goblin in it, then link it to a lever and pull the lever.  That will release him.

He's not asking what "created wealth" means. He's saying we should compare values, see who has the highest etc.

around 160,  which made my fps drop to like 16 or something, so I don't do that anymore.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Population cap
« on: June 08, 2007, 11:34:00 am »
Yes he probably has the latest version, same thing happens everytime, I have my cap set to 30 but right now I have ~60 dwarves.  Like they said it's not a set in stone limit, you have 30 and then next year it won't send any waves, but you'll still get more this year , and then if you qualifiy for nobles , they will come, and then everyone starts having children like crazy .  so you always end up over what you set it as.  So always set it lower than how many you actually want.

 

quote:
.ini  
  ??   the file with the pop cap is init.txt in the DF/data/init folder. It should be between Temperature/Weather and Varied ground tiles.  like this:

code:

[TEMPERATURE:NO]
[WEATHER:NO]
You can set the maximum population of your
 fortress here.  Keep in mind that your 
population must exceed 80 to get a king and 
100 to obtain the current game features.
[POPULATION_CAP:30]
If you don't like the ,.`' ground, try 
setting this to NO.  The ground will turn 
into periods only.
[VARIED_GROUND_TILES:NO]

Now, Now, just because you think this guy is being annoying is no reason to lie to him and have him kill all his useful dwarves. Although I think he'd have to be remarkably dumb to actually fall for that.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Floodgates
« on: April 07, 2007, 09:45:00 am »
A while back I made a perma-flood half way up the river which was stopped (thank God)  by the  doors I had happened to place next to the bridge.  Now I've since moved on, built another bridge etc so I don't need that inaccessible area,  but I was wondereing what I did wrong in the first place.  Here is the lay out
code:
  
#####
###.....~
...X__X~~
####
 
so the first flood gate opened and that was fine, I opened the second and the whole place flooded to the north, is it becuase of the one open square north of the floodgate?

Dwarves love walking across bridges,   while they are being taken apart by other dwarves.

"What is that man doing mommy?.   Oh he's just taking apart the bridge honey.  You mean the one we are walking on?.  Why Yes I suppo.. Grurgle grugrle grurgle...."

Yes just kill the noble. I was friendly to the humans, gave them tons of stuff, and when their noble was killed by the elephants they attacked me the next year with 7 squads.

I would assume so since they have a MAXAGE  in thier file.  Never personally seen it happen though.
