Leave Toady alone, it's a reasonable assumption that planning a Martian colony and anti-Terran war does not directly connect with DF.

Besides, it's a good thing. These threads should always be near the top now. Probably.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: New Embark >> "is getting used to tragedy"

You say this was brand-new, before settling anywhere?

I'd guess worldgen simulates tragedy somehow. Did the dwarf lose any family members?

It would be a nice addition to have intelligent enemies try to pick up weapons on their own...
Anyone else think so?

Guys the minotaur has the: [HABIT:USE_ANY_MELEE_WEAPON:100] tag. It should pick something up off the ground and use it. However, now that i think about it it may only work in it's lair. Try it. Do some !!SCIENCE!!.
Embark on a lair/cave. When a minatour arrives, keep it safe/caged away. When your fortress dies, it'll automatically free itself and arm itself with the best weapon you've got. I had a minatour with a masterwork battleaxe this way, each wave of soldiers would try to overpower the minatour...
Just be glad you didn't have an artifact great axe...

I wouldn't think that it would matter, but it might.

...Socks are foot-coverings. And that's the minimum to avoid bad thoughts about unclothedness; I'd imagine that rotting gloves would be pretty unpleasant.

No, it just cuts a valley through the cliff.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Digging Upwards?

You should get a warning before digging into aquifers, specifically the level below the aquifer flooding.

In general, it's good to know where the aquifers are.

I'd advise some kind of trap where you drop rocks on an enemy.

Instead of channeling into the magma sea's floor, channel into its ceiling?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Minecart spiral
« on: September 03, 2012, 06:54:18 am »
One method for filling minecarts with magma is to put a minecart in a room, flood the room with magma somehow, drain the magma, and finally move the minecart elsewhere.

Minecart spirals, as you call them, are probably either tantrum spirals started by minecarts or some kind of twisty, rampy passageway down, with carved tracks everywhere.

You need, at a minimum:

1. Upper body coverings
2. Lower body coverings
3. Foot coverings

Other stuff is nice--for instance, leather caps help protect your civilians from attacks. Help, mind you.

Miners have a bunch of big military advantages past skill. For instance, their contact area is small enough to poke at vitals from armor but often big enough to cut limbs off. They've also got good velocity and penetration modifiers, and DF doesn't yet simulate their downsides. Also, they don't have any blunt attacks dwarves would otherwise occasionally waste time with.

DF Suggestions / Re: Procedurally Generated Cave Beasts
« on: September 03, 2012, 06:47:30 am »
I suppose so. There is already a fair amount of code to procedurally generate cave beasts, although I don't know how much of it would apply to this suggestion.
Not that Toady's adverse to programming new stuff. If he was, we wouldn't be chatting here now.

DF Suggestions / Re: [Adv. Mode]Keep Water in Wells fluid
« on: September 03, 2012, 06:46:12 am »
The first part is only in Adventure Mode, where the underground water is actually water in a deep pit. The second part requires a big farming overhaul, which is beyond the scope or intent of this thread.
