Forgotten beasts CAN completely leave the map, but they usually come back.

Dwarves prefer building from a certain direction. I believe it goes west-east-north-south

You can edit arena.txt in the init folder to change the arena.

I know my game crashes with segfault when the designated target of a squad leaves the location.

What did you do to break DF in this manner? Mine doesn't do that...

This seems specific to linux DF. I have the same problem on my Ubuntu machine, but its fine on my Windows one. 31.18 for both.

Just keep waiting and keep increasing your fort value. Eventually, a human diplomat may come.  ;)

Going one step further, designating animals as catapult ammunitions.
An easier way to release the war dogs.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Ramps vs. Stairs
« on: January 13, 2011, 08:05:05 pm »
Ramps may or may not increase FPS. There is little evidence that suggests one is better than the other.

Also, doing a search for 'spiral ramp' turns out many more threads. Many.

Huh  ???

In my previous fort, I got tired of hungry heads flying into my fort, so I tied a cow down there. The hungry heads almost always killed the cow  :'( and if they didn't the cow would have many red damages.

It will stay up, assuming its connected to some land or supports.

Will this work for my fire?
Code: [Select]
___|.___<
____*____
< is catapult
. is space
_ is floor
| is wall
* is fire

The plan is to start the fire, then launch bitumutous coal and lignite into the hole.
