DF Gameplay Questions / Re: What should I know before starting a glacier fort?

For lack of food. When I did get them what they wanted, they were already miserable, and insisted on beating up others instead of eating.

Well, I lost the fort. I forgot to build a butcher when I had bodies to be butchered, and I got my first piece of farm land early spring. I lost the fort about mid-spring to beserk dwarves. I'll try reclaiming it, though.

I started a fort next to a glacier, since I figured I'd want wood this time around. Reading around, I figured out that ice rocks melt once you get somewhere that isn't icy. So, I started a pond underground for water. My first trade caravan, and I forgot to put the depot up, but, according to the Depot Access feature, wagons can't access depots anyway. I also figured out that the ice turns into a lake once you get far down enough. I was digging out my living quarters, hit damp rock, foolishly continued, and now I'm pumping all the water to my pool. I also gave up my starting anvil for more food and drink, which is probably why I've lived almost a year now.

Lazy_Perfectionist, good advice, by the way.

DF Gameplay Questions / What should I know before starting a glacier fort?

I'm starting a glacial fort, and I have a few questions.
-Is there a way to easily melt ice so that I have water to drink?
-About how far down do I normally have to dig to get past all the ice?
-Is there anything else I should know when starting a glacial fort?

Thanks in advance.

DF Bug Reports / Re: Unable to build floor grate surrounded by other grates

Alright, sorry then. I just assumed that a grate could support another grate, because, you know, a grate can be expanded upon.

First of all, let me draw you a map.

.###.
.#_#.
.###.

See that underscore in the middle? That's where I was trying to build my grate. Apparently, when I try to build a grate there, it tells me that it's surrounded by empty space, which doesn't make sense, seeing as how the grates are right there.

DF Bug Reports / [38a] Crashed when saving
« on: February 06, 2008, 03:29:00 am »
I was playing in adventure mode when I found a cliff I wanted to jump off of. I saved next to the cliff, and within 5 minutes, Windows told me that DF had problems and needed to close. I didn't see it progressing, so I let it close.

Unfortunately, I don't have a save file for you. Sorry.

DF Suggestions / Preacher/priest noble?
« on: February 06, 2008, 02:40:00 am »
I think a new noble is in order. A preacher/priest noble would pretty much make sure that there's a temple or something in the fortress and that sinners are punished or some such. Just a rough idea. Of course, it's not going to be fun to have another annoying noble to drown, but still.

Feel free to leave this alone if it's already been suggested.
