DF Gameplay Questions / Reclaiming Troops
« on: December 23, 2009, 05:17:39 am »
Alright well, a question here first off is there a way to lessen the troops I take with me on a Reclaim? I only want 7 but it seems determined to give me 60-70  of the best buds a dwarf could ask for, resulting in a massive fortress ending tantrum spiral if Urist mcdwarf gets a paper cut and its getting annoying as I'm trying to stick with a small group of dwarves.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Orcs and levers! (Small rant and then a question.)
« on: December 21, 2009, 07:39:07 am »
So my latest fortress was doing fine, not much for military, small team of wrestlers with nothing for armor. Nice fortress location with a river running across the entrance, lucky for me I noticed that dwarves seem to have no problem running over them now. ( When did this happen, I was hoping it would act as a 'wall'!) After walling myself off and keeping some of the river within the wall  and bridging across I hooked the bridge up to be retractable hoping it would buy me time when the orcs came... Soon after the bridge was complete the orcs came and I fumbled about ordering everyone indoors and once everyone was across I ordered for the lever to be pulled ( yes I made it so dwarves could go outside before I made the order to pull the lever. ) and no one went to it at all... The orcs stormed across the bridge and went into a slaughter fest... Then I noticed one of my last three dwarves runs up and hits the lever, sealing the orcs inside...

Is there better ways at defending my fort? I never seem to be able to get an ample defense up before the orcs come, but I find myself too bored without them.
Do catapults damage walls? or soar over them?
And last question for now.. If a suspended building has a floor hatch connecting it to the main structure and the floor hatch opens, does the suspended structure collapse?

DF Gameplay Questions / Weird Scan line?
« on: December 18, 2009, 03:02:58 am »
So, I've just got a new computer, found Dig deeper, installed DF, and I'm getting this weird scan line across the game screen thats only there when I play Dwarf Fortress. Is this something I've got to fix in the Init or is this a new feature? Sorry if this is the wrong section I'm extremely tired.

DF Gameplay Questions / Goblins wont stay alive?
« on: November 04, 2008, 10:38:20 pm »
So in my most recent world gens when choosing a fortress location I'll tab over and next to the goblin race theres a dotted red line. Does this mean world gen wiped them out? I've gone to two gobbo towers and there was humans inside. I'm using the most recent DF and its not modded. just seems weird that the past three worlds I've generated had no goblins.

DF General Discussion / DF legos!
« on: September 02, 2008, 04:13:01 am »
So... While looking for a gift for my little brother, I stumbled into the lego section, and there I saw a dwarven mine set! It came with like 4 dwarfs and 2 goblins and one ogre... I was tempted to buy it but don't think I want to fork up the 65 dollars, not even for my little bro... So I bought two of the 11 dollar sets and now have my dwarfs hammering some goblins above my computer screen.

DF Modding / Just a thought.
« on: April 26, 2008, 12:43:00 am »
I was wondering if there was anyway to mine massive area's out using explosives? Unsure of how it would work, but in a dream I had, it exploded into pickaxes... I know that wouldn't work but you get the picture... Hopefully.

DF Modding / Megabeasts
« on: April 14, 2008, 10:34:00 pm »
I was poking around and saw that a few mega beasts had been made but no real 'Post your mega beasts here' type threads. So post em here, I'm no coder I just want to set them loose in my arena and watch them duke it out. Think of it as the ultimate showdown between mega beasts! If it gets outta' control I'll just open my  lava and water chutes and encase it in obsidian. =D

Life Advice / So...A question.
« on: April 17, 2008, 05:51:00 pm »
I just got suspended from school, for running around on the roof. I would have got away safely except a teachers pet pointed me out. It was worth it, but not at the same moment. So I got suspended for 3 days, my record was clean. ( Though I'm always running around up there and other cool places in our school, just got careless this time.) if I would have been in trouble a lot It would have been like 9 to 45.... Here's the question, should I tell my dad? I could get away with wasting my day at the library, I could use the free time to play catch up on math. If I tell him I know I'm going to get grounded, and i'm going to be forced to quit my job at gamestop. Any ideas?

DF Gameplay Questions / Cage Traps
« on: December 08, 2007, 02:46:00 am »
So, one of my Fortresses is next to a human village. My idea was to start capturing the whole town and do some sort of mass sacrifice for Armok. =P It seems however that they wont trigger any of make cage traps. I'm using Teldins mod if it makes a difference. A human child stood ON my cage trap tile, the cage trap is finished too. The child must have stood there for quiet a while too.

DF Gameplay Questions / Fairly new Player
« on: December 06, 2007, 03:25:00 am »
Actually I'm not that new at all, since I've been playing pre-z axis I think its just safe to say that I suck at DF. I think it might be lack of motavation really, I love the game to death but I find myself wanting to have a goal rather than stay alive..Seems to wide for me. I suppose I should get to a goblin siege first... Yea thats right, been playing from the pre z days and never reached a goblin siege. Like I said, I usually get bored looong before that happens and scrap that fortess  . Any suggestions on how to keep myself motivated? I geuss you could call it restless dwarf syndrome. Right now i'm building a temple to Armok, or plan to I was wondering though.  How do I capture humans in cages? Also can I move those cages around after that?  Thanks in advance for helping the super noob Kugu.
