I used to play heaven and hearth, and there was a downloadable mapper for exactly this. It took screen shots, well, map shots, every so often and just paste it in where it would fit (travel wasnt always logical) it used combinations of terrain, elevation, rivers/roads and more to finish it off, but it was very workable

y'know, I'm still struggling in the normal game, and its FUN

and it really is

i dont know if i want to be a megabeast who sticks its items to the scenery and kills enemies with a poisonous bit

thats what i was saying, in a way too. after a bit the money becomes the biggest problem. Carrying around 1000 gold coins seems to slow you down, and there is not much to spend it on

skip the whole spelling thing again....

cause it never occurs to people that there is a whole world out there that doesnt learn english as a child, and has to work hard to learn it, make themself understood. And then they play a MMO game... do you know the level of language used there? even native english speakers speak bad english there.

give people some room, cut them some slack, loosen those bonds. Commenting on the spelling should be way down your list of priorities, below finding out why the spelling is bad and below considering if its worth mentioning anyway/now



anyway, back on topic, i had a potter go insane (there is no clay on this map! But I wanna! There is no clay! Rhaaaaaaaaaaaa!)
and he killed a wardog (the female) and a normal dog (male, my breeding pair. i hadnt expected this) and severely injured the hunter. In the end, his blood was all over the crafters corner, not a prety sight. At least, since he was insane, people didnt get too sad about his death. Only the one who killed him was depressed

your spawns are seeded and harvested, but probably hardly ever eaten, which would produce few new spawns. Thats one of the beuties of farming: if you dont use something, you get no seeds (no cooking in any) and you wont farm it next year

one time i was wondering why the plump helmets werent growing, and i saw i had 90 in stock, plenty of dorf wine and just no NEED for more, so people didnt eat them, nor were they brewed, so no new seeds

The same thing happens to me, too. Whenever I try to place an above-ground Farm Plot (like I always do, I like making my Dwarves live like Humans), it says in yellow lettering, "No mud or soil for farm". But it always lets me place a plot there. I think this is a bug.

no, it isnt.
If the text is RED it really doesnt have it

has been answered often, also to me
yes, in night spawn lairs

I'm investing any money i get imidiately in anything better armor or improved spears/pikes to throw. dunno why i like em. I found out the hard way that carrying around 1000 gold coins slows me more than the items i sold did

I'm having a slight problem... no night creature lair, so i cant drop the jewelry i buy

If i dont get better than finely crafted iron armor, how far can i get in the game?

I guess i'm getting past newbie at this stage and should ask normal questions
And i wish there was a way to get stuff like arrows and coins to stack

does killing someone with a toy weapon count? or should it be a toy horse?

therefor the memorable oneliners:

"unhand me, you oaf!"
"Quick, disarm him!"
"I need an extra hand here!"

nothing more fun than throwing their own hand back at them, followed by the weapon
"Catch."

I'm still beginning but i just 1 shot a goblin chief with a thrown silver halberd. When my enemies get closer i always let them make the last step so i dont get opportunity attacks against me. Throwing fills the gap nicely
