DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: The Dwarven Caring Thread

As elvishly rotten as it is, I have a soft spot for my dwarves...
I always try to keep them from dying.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What do weapons look like?
« on: October 11, 2011, 09:50:02 pm »
I've always imagined each race having different looks to their weapons.
Dwarves have the ridiculous bloody "Block on Stick" kind of Warhammers, Gigantic axes, and ludicrously over sized swords.
Humans have more mundane, realistic weapons.
Elves are pansies and all their weapons are curly and engraved with flowers and shit.
Goblins just have really blunt, primitive weapons, like sharp pieces of copper passing off as swords...

(Also, is it magma-safe as a stone?)
It is slade.
In terms of weight, it is the evil opposite to Adamantine.
Unless I'm mistaken, it's the heaviest and strongest substance in existence.
It is everything proof.

Serrated Discs. Three strikes, and a sharp edge, with the right materials, they can rip just about anything apart.
The only real flaw is the tendency to jam.

Well, sounds like a great way to die.
I'm gonna be honest, the Troll opening a Clown grate made me laugh my ass off.

Coat the whole world in pressure plates - track every sneaking animal :D
One dwarf with really high observer skills, and a Dwarfette with a really good crossbow...
Olin: Oi, sometin' over there. What is it?
Whoosh, Pap.
Urist: Kobold.
Olin: I think I see somethin' on that plate over dere.
Whoosh, Pap.
Urist: Elf. Heheh.

I had a fortress fall to tantrum spiral after a pair of dwarves were lost in the very first goblin ambush, so you don't have to last too long to see them.  You must be doing something right to hold on to happiness in the face of random casualties.
The amount of miners I've had dead from the idiots dropping the platform they were on is limitless.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Never had a Tantrum Spiral: Am I doing something wrong?
« on: September 05, 2011, 11:49:28 am »
Well, that's pretty much it, actually. Not one of my fortresses has EVER fallen to unhappiness. Usually, it's either flooding accidents or wild animals. Or cave-ins. So, am I doing something wrong, or am I doing something right? (Obviously this is variable given the community.) As a side note, none of my fortresses are very long lived, so it might just be a case of not living long enough to see one.
Any advice?

Magma for the mines... I like that...
But maybe getting something really vicious, like a GCS, or a Troll in there could be good...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / I think I found how Dwarves catch fish...

I'm not entirely sure, but I do believe I've found how Dwarves fish without poles...

What happens if there are 2 stones with the [LAVA] tag when the magma meets with water?
I've never tried, but I imagine either...
A. You get random numbers of each type for every collision.
B. One overrides the other.

Finally, a use for the hoards upon hoards of Rhesus Macaques in my animal stockpile!

Side note: Shouldn't this be on the wiki? Is it already?

Nope. Its not.

And here I was, thinking that my dwarfs were right handed and were throwing a quiet fit of non-compliance because they had their hammers in their left hands.
Actually, I think ALL creatures are left handed.
In Adventure Mode, whichever weapon is in your left hand is the first thing you'll have available to swing, then the weapon in your right.
