That seems to fix it, save for one small issue: the toolbar blocks some buttons.

Sure, I could just move it around the screen as needed, but I'd rather not go through the pain of moving all my shortcuts around every time I play the game.

So, help me Bay12.

I've installed the game it runs perfectly... but there is one small problem. The windows don't fit vertically on my screen and I'm at the highest resolution my card supports. The wiki suggest a program: 360 Desktop, but the site is offline as far I as can tell and I can't find any mirrors or any alternatives in the official forums so... help me, Bay12ers, you are my only hope.

Then 2 of the widows got pissed and threw tantrums.
Windows throwing tantrum?
WIDOWS, my friend. Dorfs who lost their husband/wife. But, I do find the mental image of a window throwing a tantrum and punching a passing-by dwarf to be amusing.

I'll be watching this.

Too bad I don't know how to code, nor do I have the time for that.

Human caravan arrived. They are being attacked by kobolds as I type this. I'm betting on the humans.


Humans won. A few were crippled, two went insane and the rest left before I could lower the entrance bridge.


EDIT: The ghost of Andreus XI just killed a cat,  rejoice!

A bone sword was my first. I got pretty excited about it first, then I found out that, among my two soldiers, the one with the copper short sword was actually more effective.

Go for the giant statue with the arena on top. Connect it to tubes (you can do this later) with magma and water, so you can make fights more intresting. Remember to make a drainage system

Some news on the fort, or, rather, curious fail facts about it:

Twobeard's skeleton is in the middle of the second cavern lake, so it's not possible to retrieve it. Will have to slab him.
The forgotten beast party house's floor is made of hair. horse, mule, and other grazer animals, to be specific.
There are many unreachable dwarf corpses, and it's impossible to find any names in the slab list, so we'll just have to hope a horde of angry ghosts don't wipe us out.


EDIT: just found out someone ordered corpses to be atom-smashed. Hopefuly Andreus XI may be there.

EDIT 2: a new FB is in town. Second cavern layer. Not that we need to worry about it finding a way up or anything.

Well, anybody have tips on how to prepare your home for the battle with Satan's Army or whatever?
You write in lamb's blood on your door: "No lawyers allowed" and you have a pretty good chance of being left alone.

I know it's a bit late, but can I sig this?

It's part of DFHack, not DFusion, I belive.

Also, simply doing two embarks to link two bodies of land (or even just one embark) and abandoning as soon as it finishes loading is enough.

Also don't set up any booze stockpiles near the magmasea, fire snakes might cause some !fun! if you do.

Fire snakes are vermin, they teleport around. They'll get into your booze one way or the other.

Now that I think about it, my vampires will likely be almost sparkling. By which I mean giving off sparks due to being on fire.

Shouldn't they be melting, or something?

How 'bout, instead of having all of us being separate creatures, each of us will be a caste in a creature simply called "forumite"?

But then that would cause oddities like Eric Blanks marrying Hurringtons and other such things that have happened before...
If you play as said forumites, I'm going to end up causing flame wars.

And by flame wars, I mean lighting everyone on fire, boiling their innards, then melting their bones.

Well that sounds like you anyway

And now we need to do just that. Then Necro can come and tell us that a Gizogin pulled the magma-purge lever during a tantrum and caused the destruction derailing of the fort thread.

We're under siege and we get an avearge of 1 dorf per wave, so... none right now, and others have asked before. If, by some blessing of Armok, we get loads of dorfs in a single wave, I'll dorf all I can.


Also, I just drew a megaproject, I'll upload the crudely-drawn picture soon.
