DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Post here your fortress ideas
« on: June 11, 2011, 03:47:21 am »
Build 2 Forts,

The first a huge many leveled maze like citadel, catacombs, etc. Foribid all buildings inside (or seal the entrance) once complete

The second will be your fort, no excavation past bottom caverns.

Release the Clowns into the first, beat the clowns back to where they belong.

Bonus: No traps in either fort.

Double Bonus: Release HFS into both forts, then abandon and bring back 7 elite soldiers to take back your forts.

What should I do if my embark is almost completely flat?
Build a wall?
 :P
Jokes aside that is entirely up to you, you can channel a pit and start your fort underground or choose a new location.

Or make an above ground fort o.0

Best thing I can advise mate is to spend the next few days on the wiki =p

No but seriously

Badgers hurt
Mineral scarcity is... odd o.0

and

Large pots rock xD

If you want to take advantage of the Marksdwarves with the changes I would definitely suggest spending some time reading through the wiki for them though as they still take a bit of managment

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Armor Stands

Your Dorfs will only use the Armour Stands and Weapon Racks while inactive and even then only if in the uniforms screen for that squad you have   |inactive: uniformed| turned off.

I usually give 1 Armour Stand per Dorf and 1 Weapon Rack per 2 and seems to work, not sure on the exact numbers though.

I have this mood on a save and usually it doesn't bother me if I fail one (generally because of glass heh... I hate glass -.-)
Anyway, as far as i can tell I have all of these items, several of each I assumed from square blocks up twice they want rock and metal blocks so a made about 5 copper and iron blocks to attempt to not lose my dorf. Now I cannot figure out what possible item I am missing here any ideas?

Square Blocks                      -20 or so obsidian and slate blocks
Rough Gems                        -155 rough gems
Shining Bars of Metal            - 25 metal bars (various)
Forest                                -1000 ish wood logs
Square Blocks                      - 13 metal blocks
Stacked Cloth                      -164 cloth
Stacked Leather                  - 56 leather

Also do creatures become tame after a period of time in a cage or do i have to tame them in a kennel?
no they do not. you have to tame them in the kennels

Well as long as thats true then it works out fine, Do tame creatures breed domesticated offspring or does the offspring have to also be tamed in a kennel?

DF Gameplay Questions / Using Tame Creatures in my Arena
« on: June 08, 2011, 04:40:56 am »
Is it possible to force the military to fight with a tamed creature/s.  I know i can have them just outright kill them but do they fight back at all or is there a way to un-tame them?

Also do creatures become tame after a period of time in a cage or do i have to tame them in a kennel?

First time trying out an arena and I'm hoping to use it as a way of making migrants prove themselves before letting them into the fort, that and also training up the military in a bit more of an exciting way.

So this is basically the standard for the shop (as I notice you still have 2 "greaves" in the OP no gauntlets and no Helms... also I threw caps in at half the helms nothing has been mentioned about them but i figure if you have shields and bucklers might as well have caps and helms)

ITEM                     Bronze/Iron                               Steel
Mail Shirt:                      100                              200
Breastplate:                   200                              300
Leggings:                       100                              200
Greaves:                        200                              300
Low Boots, Pair:             100                               200
High boots, Pair:             200                               300
Gauntlets, Pair:              100                               200
Buckler:                        100                               200
Shield:                          200                               300
Cap:                            100                               200
Helm:                           200                                300

Weapons
As per the new info in the OP
Spear:                           0                                100
Pike:                            100                              200
Halberd:                        200                              300
Short Sword:                  0                                 100
Long Sword:                   100                              200
Two-Handed Sword:       200                               300
Wood Axe:                       0                               100
Battle Axe:                     100                              200
Great Axe:                     200                               300


Is that right? Obviously left out the special items as they change but that is the basic set-up? Just so it's a bit clearer for all.

just a question, does everyone get a rank or something in armor user?

I don't think so but I don't run it so stabbymcstabstab probably needs to confirm it

Well he only had a buckler for me to take -.- besides with my immense spear skill it shouldn't be alive long enough to breath on me... I hope.

Besides how can I lose with the *cue echo* ARENA CHAMPION next to me =D

Hmm do I have enough cash to buy a shield? If so then scrap the buckler and get me a Iron or Steel one

Actually #$%& it... it's only a dragon, how much could it hurt, I mean really.

Also, how much are helms? and what time zone are you in... coz I seem to be several hours behind when stuff happens -.-
