Can we get a rewrite of the rules? I might try this but its not fully clear...I rewrit them but if something isn't clear just tell me what it is and I'll straighten it out.
While I was walking to a cave, I found a lair. Turns out it has a hydra in it. Hoping my compainions can handle it.If they can't stab one in the foot and run away.
A minute after I spawned a giant glowing bird swooped down and ripped out a miners eye. Genesis ups the ante on senseless violence.
As opposed to the vanilla game?
Just so you know, 2 squiggles is too high for a dorf to stand in, and 1 squiggle is safe to walk in (but not to build or work, and it'll cause 'could not find path' spam).
Genesis, makes it easier to establish an above ground fort and as an added bonus litters the game with things that murder you.
What mod are you playing with?
Late-Summer, first year since arriving. Making rock crafts, fortifications, weapons, and armor. I've never gotten very far in Fortress mode, but I'm wondering... Is it bad to be making weapons and other combat related things this early?I like to have a few spears lying around in case animals get nasty but you don't need an orgnaized military for a while.
I just channel out a space and dig out one tile next to it, like this:It's really the same principle, I just hate making slopes.Code: [Select]....vX....
....^0....
v=down slope ^=up slope X=headstone 0=wooden coffin .=dirt
Note: Side view
i just killed a elven caravan the first time ... i hate them. do they come back and try to sige my fortress now?Not unless you mod their liason back in.
I might try this. My hacked 10k point embarks may be able to help with building the huts, too. I'll have to do this with my worlds hacked where I could bring surface crap, though, 'cause how are you supposed to live like humans without initially having surface crops?do those who achieve legendary status count, too?I count them.I'd want to make sure I had a few building plans in mind before I embarked, though.Code: (Housing Arrangements) [Select]Peasants: 1-floor 2x3 wood shacks.
"Normal" Townsfolk: 2-floor 3x4 wood or clay houses.
Wealthy People: 2-floor 5x6 stone houses.
Barons/Counts/Dukes/Kings: 3-floor 15x20 stone BLOCK houses.
All houses get a basement with the same dimensions as the houses they sit under.
I'd suggest having a graveyard someplace, too.
I think at a certain level walls can be allowed. Like at the start, a ditch is dug for the small farmstead. After you get a mayor or something a Palisade and so forth. The fact that you can easily be raped through the nose by sieges and random ambushes makes a defense important.
I like this idea. But what about soldiers and barrackses?Barracks must be build by nobles and the soldiers who live in that barracks should primarily serve the noble they "work for."
Perhaps noble's manors can have walls around them. When a siege/ambush is spotted you have to get as many civilians inside the castle as possible. And no farms inside the castle so sieges actually work.My setups have nobles mansions inside of walls and all buildings designated as emergency burrows. It means that the levels of screwedness vary, most dwarves end up in their own homes living off of the scarce rations they have access to and and praying that there aren't any building destroyers.Even different nobles fair differently A noble with a farm might be fine but a noble with a mine may starve. You're way balances the screwed so that everyone is safe but nobody can survive indefinitely. It's really a tossup.
Actually forgot about this but potatoes produce sweet potato starch.Welp havent played this forever forgot my doctor and trader haha also dear god using therapist for the first time its so goddamn awesome. So many goddamn plants! what do they all do!
This is from the game manual which comes with the mod. It's a bit outdated (I removed some plants and tweaked others) but all in all it explains everything you need to know.
Aboveground plantsSpoiler (click to show/hide)
Underground plantsSpoiler (click to show/hide)
Basically, there are now some different aboveground plants, and more subterranean. But the one listed here should hav correct information.
