Link can't be an elf because he is in the goddess's favor. Everyone knows that elves are god-forsaken heathens.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / silver shields?
« on: January 16, 2011, 05:08:15 pm »
Since material has no effect on the block chance of shields and bucklers, wouldn't a silver, gold, or platinum shield be superior? Correct me if I'm wrong, but a shield bash counts as a blunt attack.

Magma melts skin, and makes them bleed that way, with the added bonus of also incinerating all of the blood so there is no cleanup.

« on: January 16, 2011, 01:08:46 pm »Why are you buying lye when half your military are proficient at making it?
?
My map has plenty of wood, but My dwarves don't go outside my walls much anymore because of the threat of ambushes. I mean a threat to my civilians. My military is BEAST.

I'm in the process of cleaning up, but most of the stuff is forbidden until I can get the important stuff inside first, namely a hydra corpse that showed up shortly before the siege. The hydra was slaughtered by the way. 13 some military dwarves swarmed it when it walked up like an idiot. I count 5 severed heads, 3 of which were 2 z-levels up and an additional 30 tiles away, and on top of a tower I was building.

Dear Urist McHauler,
Please dump the hematite so I can patch up that hole in the wall. And please, for the love of Armok, finish hauling that hydra corpse before you start on the goblinite.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / utilizing these worthless bows
« on: January 16, 2011, 01:38:35 am »
I recently came onto a bunch of worthless bows. I could melt them down, I suppose, but theya re all made of copper, which I have a ton of already. So i was wondering if I could make use of them in weapon traps without using arrows. Normally a dwarf would reload bows, crossbows, and blowguns with appropriote ammo if they run out, but if there is no ammo, would they use their melee attack instead?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / frozen lye
« on: January 15, 2011, 10:45:52 pm »
I've been buying barrels of lye from the dwarven traders, but it keeps freezing. Then my dwarves ignore it and won't put it in the stockpile. Is there a way to remedy this?

So I'll have to trap one of the caravan guards to do this?

I have an idea, but I need to know if they need to eat/drink. I want to make one fall in a pit with lots of repeating spike traps (for training), and somehow make it go insane. Then, I'm gonna drop more invaders in the pit and make them fight the prisoner.

What if the toads were damaged so they are constantly unconcious, but not so that they won't die?

« on: January 15, 2011, 06:23:50 pm »They'll breed and instantly slaughter the resulting tame offspring. If you want to keep them, you might want to set Giant Toads to have massive litters so the children will swarm their parents.
Man, this game makes people think of morbid things.
No. what you do is remotely uncage the toads (or chain them up individually) in a locked 1X1 room with the sides channeled out. Newborns will spawn next to the mother and immediately fall onto the floor below, then you can harvest the survivors.

Quickly dig out a small area underground and move everything you can to a quantum stockpile, then wall off the entrance. YOU MUST LIVE UNDER THE MAGMA SEA!
