DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / tower cap farming
« on: January 06, 2008, 03:57:00 am »
Just a quick question, just to make sure my plans arn't wasted.

If i flood the floor above an aquifer, then drain it, it will produce a tower cap farm, right?

If not, how do i farm for tower caps in a desert map, no underground river, just lots of sand and limestone.

Heh, I have yet to see a reason to even get the economy started, seems too much trouble, for too little gain.

Are you able to butcher unicorns for their leather?

Or do you have to change comthing in the .raw files? If so, what ones? What tags do I add

Thanks.

If you create a fort in an isolated location that only has goblins and
dwarves  No Trade

Will you still get the sheriff - etc etc
Will caravans come to inspect your fort?

« on: June 17, 2007, 09:36:00 am »
Can someone explain to me, how to install a tileset, such as Herrbdog's? step by step, im not a computer wizard, so the wikki instructions sort of confuse me, anyone? Thanks..

Oh, while im at it - the cheat ajust start - how do you use it? It doesnt seem to do anything.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: The Siege Sponge. Absorbs goblins faster than the leadin
« on: June 22, 2007, 11:49:00 am »
I dont understand this elitist mindset some of you guys possess. Boatmurdered is a perfect example, its well known in alot of fourms. I found out about DF because of that bloodline game. Its a single player - alpha stage game, and the only way to win in DF is to die in such a way you sit back in your chair and mutter out load "Wow, -that- can happen!?" Why is creating a drowning room as a defence a problem, why is turtle-power mode a problem to you guys. You all know in the end its 90% likely to be the downfall of the fort, and who here but the great toady honestly knows how to play the game? Im willing to bet, even the copperaxe fort will crumble. Dispite the player's obvious advanced understanding of the game, his going to screw up somewhere, one way or another, and all his dwarves end up getting vacumed into a weapon trapped funnel.

The games about fun, if drowning invading goblins is fun for someone, more power too them, I'd sugguest keeping chained/caged cave crocs connected to a lever in the drowning room for added gore.

myself, with 60 of my 85 dwarves soldiers, I send the grizzled warriors of my dwarven nation out into the field. We respect the scars of our warriors, and damage our steel weapons do against the lesser kin of the world only further strengthens our belief in the simple fact we are the one and only rightful owners of the land. of Unleash the dogs, send fourth the dwarven legions! Today, Armok demands a sacrifice.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Population cap
« on: June 05, 2007, 02:40:00 pm »
If, i set say a population cap of 85 dwarves, does that include nobles? Or are nobles extra?

Im getting good, i think, but when I get two swarms of 25 odd dwarves, its just too much for me to handle. I want about 85, max, but I want that on top of nobles.

So, what is the best way to get 85 common dwarves, and then whatever nobles I am able to get?

Thanks.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How big should bedrooms be?
« on: June 12, 2007, 10:34:00 am »
At last. Thank you Reynard. That design is perfect. No only do i supply the bedroom needs of my dwarves, but I also have statue rooms, that provide happy thoughts to any dwarf to passes by. Estatic dwarves = non tantruming dwarves = no more forts falling apart.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / magma and water
« on: December 13, 2007, 08:59:00 pm »
Just a quick question,

If I had a hole, 4 z levels deep, with the bottom revealing the aquifier,
and I poured magma onto it,
would it..
1) allow me to get past the aquifier
and
2) Is it possible to fill the entire hole up with magma, and have the water from the aquifier dry it out? Thus allowing me to build my castle of obsidian

Or would I need to fill the hole half with water, and half with magma? or some other combination?


thanks

im a 40k and fallout fan, I love the damage crossbow's do. Dress my military up in steel plate armour, shield, crossbow, steel bolts and not many goblins get to go home.

Mmm, wonder what a dwarf with apathy would be like in the military.
Cold, ruthless and efficent, or do they just open the doors to the fort
and let the goblins in
