So a when an older lady likes a younger guy then... oh, you mean the animal type of cougar?
Anyways, cougars are [PET_EXOTIC] so unless you have modded them they won't even breed IIRC (I seem to have had wolves before that I bought that refused to breed with [PET_EXOTIC]). As for training they are unable to be, so once again unless you have modded them they won't be that useful in combat. You could certainly breed like 200 (assume you made them breed able) and then release them from a single cage on top of your enemies as a "cougar bomb".
Also not to be harsh, but running your stuff through a spellchecker would take like an additional 10 seconds and would catch some 80% of your errors right there.
Easy there, buddy. It wasn't exactly how it was spelled(although that did help slightly), as much as it was all the trash talking about other races that gave me the entertaining mental image.
Now let's try not to get too pissy, as I don't have the time to be in a flame war right now.
Not to be offensive or anything, jaxler. As I have no idea whether or not English is your mother language. But your posts made me picture you as some overly racist hillbilly dwarf, sitting outside a fortress entrance in a stone rocking chair, and rambling to himself, which gave me quite a satisfying laugh. So thank you for that.
Creatures born on to your map are automatically friendly and non-violent. I don't know if they'll be tamed, but they certainly won't be war animals from birth.
Sorry, guys, I honestly didn't realize it was that serious until Toady started shutting down threads.
But still, this game is all about awesome geology, so it's worth remembering that molten rock underground is called magma, not lava until it reaches the surface.
1) Draft a militia of 80 dwarves
2) Arm them all with warhammers
3) Find a giant spider
4) Sick the entire military on them
5) Read the combat logs, Laugh as you read how the spider was beaten into a bloody pulp
6)
7) Profit!
EDIT: Magma. Magma also will help with your phobia. (IE: Flood the caverns)
the things made out of steal and shots lava froms its eyes.
nothing a good cave-in cant help with
Magic and artifacts with powers ought to make the game more fantasyish.
Also I think there is a hardcoded population minimum (20 maybe) that you will receive migrants under regardless of settings.The hardcoded waves have a minimum of 2 dwarves each, which makes the minimum population 11.
Wells? Feh. Water is for elves!
Looks like you nailed it, Sphalerite. I'm impressed! Just counted and minus the barrels still in the brewery that I'm too lazy to check there are exactly twenty. It didn't occur to me that barrels could be occupied like that but it does make sense. Oh well... Moot point now! A minotaur is currently trashing my untrapped, squadless fortress. C'est la vie! Looks like I've got a lot of learning to do...
