Bay 12 Games Forum

I don't have any 3d visualisers and the site's got a bit of hillyness to it, not the kind of thing I can just zoom out and cap multiple layers with.  But here's ground level 3x3, showing the volcano mouth and river start next to each other.  The bottom half of the map isn't very hilly (3-4 Z levels), the top half is mountain.

I dug a hole into the side of a cliff to watch a murky pool drain.  I was so excited, then thought for a moment that it might flood my fortress, despite it being on the same Z plane about 100 tiles away from this tiny pool.

Then I tried to channel the water inside, which was doomed to failure.

I've had this in two fortresses in a row now (separate worlds).  Only one goblin civ, but I noticed in the second one that it appears that my human civ conquered a dark fortress or something and folded some goblins into its ranks (or vice versa?).  When ambushes show up, the goblins fight the human mercenaries in their own band.  Sometimes they attack other goblins, whom I assume are related to the humans somehow.

tldr; I think it's a bug concerning takeovers by/of dark fortresses..

I think I read something about the new release for secondary weapons
might just be for adventure mode, however, let me check

>(*)added aimed attacks, random combat opportunities and the ability to use secondary attacks/weapons (both adv mode and dwf mode combat reports)

I'm unsure if this means fortress mode dwarves are able to carry secondary weapons or what, but I wouldn't count on it

I think this means using shield bashing/punching/kicking/biting etc

No - the water is generated by aquifier tiles themselves.

I recommend intentionally starting a basic game with an aquifier, to experiment

I had a nightbeast (nightwing?  idk) suck blood from my adventurer to heal itself.

Very nice, considering it's your first.  You could have gotten a bone scepter.

yeah, this is normal. remember Cacame?

Haha, yeah Cacame, that guy was a laugh.  I remember he came home drunk one night wearing a tutu.  What a character.
