If they're unarmed as you say, it'd be much easier just to send in a massive war dog army!

Sorry I meant it as a completely separate question, but I didn't want to spam the forums with another thread :/

Can I turn them on in any saved games I had? So I would be able to have invasions in previous save games that had them turned off?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Urist you're supposed to pick that up!!
« on: November 06, 2010, 05:20:09 pm »The "save/dump" orders specify whether the items get stored in stockpiles or hauled to a garbage dump activity zone - way back in the old 2D versions, it caused them to be thrown into the chasm.
Is your butcher's shop outdoors? If so, do you have collection of outdoor refuse enabled?
No it's inside and it has a refuse dump conveniently in the room next to it. My dwarves still hate me.

I have plenty of stockpile space. And I've disabled it on some but there's plenty to pick it up. I think I'm suffering from chronic 'Toomuchworkitus', a common syndrome in fortresses that cause your dwarves to do the jobs in the most inefficient way possible -.- . The problem I think I'm having is that there's just too much for my dwarves to handle...I need more migrants I suppose. But there's tons of refuse and stuff hanging about...
Speaking of which, under the o-r menu, which should the refuse to set to? If it's set to dump does it mean dump in a refuse pile or in a garbage dump? Then what does save mean? Just leave it where it is?

Basically my butcher's and brewers is COMPLETLY cluttered with skulls and bones, and seeds, respectively. And my dwarves are just ignoring it -.- . Is there some button that I pressed that's making them forget this stuff, or are they just too busy? And is there any way to set this as a higher priority?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Dwarves no longer utilizing the animals stockpile, how can I fix this?
« on: November 06, 2010, 05:08:52 am »
I'm no expert, but you could try removing the stockpile and putting it down again. Or you could try and place a new one somewhere and see if they use that one.
If not....Er...I dunnoz...

Or if you're lazy you can get the DF hackpack and then just run the cleanmap

I don't know much about fishing in DF, however IIRC the ocean can be fished out, but it 'refills' each year.
What I just said may be total rubish. Take advice at your own risk. XD

My solution is easy. Traps. Lots of them.
I usually keep a small elite infantry army, however the only problem I have is numbers. So I need to 'remove' some. Usually I have a main castle with a moat surronding it (20x20) and then North, I have the same size moat without a castle. Here I have a gate over a moat like this:
M M
MMMMMMMM M
M
MMMMMMMMGGGM
MGGGM
MGGGM
Space = floor/ground
M= Moat
G= Gate
(There is a moat under the first row of G's representing the gate)
So when I close the gate, the enemy are forced the other way. This way is CRAWLING with a combination of traps. In order:
1. First I have cage traps at the front BEFORE the gate, so if it's an ambush i have time to lockdown.
2. Lots of upright spear traps connected to a lever in my meeting hall. These NEVER get stuck and are argurably easier to deploy as anyone can put the weapons down, your mechanic just needs to connect it to a lever.
3. A couple o' cage traps...Dunno why XD
4. Blugeon weapons in weapon traps, so silver mauls, warhammers, and stuff. They don't jam and can break bones. Heh.
5. Training spears. Cheap and easy to make, it makes the enemy fall into the pit, filled with spikes . (the pit encompases the whole trap area, so anyone who dodges get impaled).
6. The final trap area. Oh yes. Serrated steel disks. Obviosly anything that got through must have had no blood, and is immune to most weapon damage. So we shred it. A bit cruel I know...But effective!
After all of that I have dwarves stationed ready to fight, with an army of animals right there with them. And if all else fails, I have a drawbridge with a moat and walls around my central staircase, so I can close that and live underground. Forever.
