DF Gameplay Questions / Multiple Squads - Same Training area?
« on: June 22, 2012, 11:56:30 am »
If I designate a training area for my dwarven squads, and their training area is the same. Will members of different squads train TOGETHER or is it still separate by squad?

DF Gameplay Questions / Why would Dwarves in Fortress kill each other?
« on: June 21, 2012, 09:14:12 pm »
My home country representative and merchants (mainly merchants) insulted my Barony. I tried to trade with them and suddenly they wanted exorbitant profits. Unable to seize their trade goods I sent my 20 well-trained soldiers after them. Fast forward 10 minutes later, half of my soldiers are dead, over 40 dwarves are dead (including children) and now my dwarves are fighting and killing EACH OTHER. What's... going on there? No one has gone insane from depression yet, why on earth would they kill each other when the enemy is still alive (barely) and limping away?

EDIT: Okay more than 40 now. Was at 160-something dwarves, now at 74 and dropping. o.o
EDIT: 57 left. Mayor is attacking people now. Kind of funny actually.

DF Gameplay Questions / Can your dwarves turn into... werebeasts?
« on: June 21, 2012, 05:29:36 pm »
Can your dwarves be turned into werebeasts? I found a dwarf who was very very miserable. I was looking through his information and found he had a lot of relatives. I thought he was a vampire. I checked his Deity list and found one of them was cursing people (various names) to take the shape of animals (hyenas, geckos, etc) every full moon.

Yeah.

DF Gameplay Questions / No merchants?
« on: June 21, 2012, 01:51:17 pm »
Been playing this game for about 3-4 in game years. Only getting outpost liasons. No merchants every season from nearby civilizations. Is this a bug or just a side effect of my embark?
I've noticed my Trade Depot keeps disappearing and I have to rebuild it about every year and a half. Some other constructions have sporadically randomly disappeared too...

DF Suggestions / The ability to select key problematic individwarfuals and attack.
« on: June 20, 2012, 08:53:51 pm »
I suggest, as I'm sure others have, the ability to use a military squad to attack any other dwarf in the fortress. Whether its creating squad after squad and pitting them against each other for experience, using natural selection to create an uber army; or easily killing off the weak and maimed; or getting rid of some other threat.

Specific Examples cited:

I have a dwarf. He turned out to be a vampire. He was taken by a mood, unable to create whatever he wanted to create, and now is a babbling insane madman. I don't think he's going to die anytime soon... I'd like to remove him. Forcefully.

I have a dwarf. He turned out to be a vampire. He was jailed for murder but never executed. While jailed, somehow got himself elected as mayor. I'd like to remove him. Forcefully.

DF Gameplay Questions / Mining into Lava Vein safely: Not quite getting it...
« on: June 20, 2012, 08:22:50 pm »
I read the wiki and it said something about, when mining into a lava vein, channel around where the opening will be and create a lava safe floor which, presumably, your miner will stand upon. Well, every variation of this I have tried has resulted in an awesome dwarf death-- although I've lost a legendary miner because of it. So I'm doing it wrong.

DF Gameplay Questions / Do Vampire infestations come in multiples?
« on: June 20, 2012, 07:48:09 pm »
When one discovers a vampire, are there usually more than one? I had a corpse show up, drained of blood. Looked around for a long time. Finally found a very skilled dwarf who had a lot of relatives/acquaintances and who didn't seem to need to drink or sleep. Convicted that dwarf of the murder, is chained up now. Suddenly, about a season later, another drained body shows up.

More vampires? Or an old victim? I don't recall that dwarf being missing.


EDIT: Holy #$!%
I went through like half my dwarves and found TWO MORE vampires. Holy #@!%. I can only accuse one of a crime. Going to have to deal with the other...

DF Gameplay Questions / Reducing Population / Stopping Births
« on: June 20, 2012, 05:55:49 pm »
Is there a way to stop or slow the rate of babies born? Is there a way to reduce population without the dwarves going into a spiral of depression or having a hundred angry ghosts hovering about?

DF Gameplay Questions / Wells Freezing
« on: June 20, 2012, 05:46:37 pm »
Above ground water sources are freezing during winter. Tried flooring over them with one tile open where I built a well, but the well is destroyed and water still freezes when Autumn comes. Is there a way to have a well outside not freeze?
I am currently building 4 walls and a roof over the entire pond to see if that stops it from freezing. But my concern then becomes, does it replenish itself?

DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarfman X has been found dead.
« on: April 29, 2012, 12:01:28 pm »
Whoa. What. "Found dead"? This is new. What happened here? Just started playing DF again after about a 6 month hiatus, got the newest version and still trying to remember the gist of the game when I get this message.
Wha happened?

DF Gameplay Questions / Just saw The Colony Season 1. Reminded me of DF. Started playing again.
« on: October 15, 2011, 07:49:31 pm »
Thinking I'm going to start playing again, new embark, in a more difficult area. Never tried an evil zone or a even a barren-ish or wild place.
There's going to be Fun.

DF Gameplay Questions / Would it be bad to flood everying above ground and just have an underwater fort?
« on: September 24, 2011, 06:02:14 pm »
It just occurred to me that my starting land is on the side of a mountain (lower mountain so there are trees and grass, etc) with a river running West-to-East across the top most part of the map. My fort is north of the river, about 4-6 z-levels below the river. I could, next winter, dig out the entire top z-level along the North side of the river, so that it literally floods the entire valley below. With the walls around my fort entrance, I'd be absolutely fine, letting me explore the depths below in peace.

Pros/cons?

DF Gameplay Questions / Can an FB syndrome cause dwarves to attack each other?
« on: September 18, 2011, 11:25:49 pm »
So randomly every now and then I'll have dwarves fighting another. Once I caught a squad of dwarves taking my bookkeeper, following him, and just punching him.
Just now, about a year in game after that, one of my recruits just went up to a hospital bed and stabbed a guy repeatedly in the head and killed him.

What the hell?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Hatches to hatches, dust to dust, here is a freakin quest that's quite the bust.
« on: September 13, 2011, 09:32:51 pm »
So there's a hatch over this monster's lair. I've stood next to it, I've stood over it, I've tried pressing 'u' to interact with it, as well as I, as well as SHIFT+A to target attack it but I can't do anything like it. It doesn't come up with 'u' or anything else. How does one get through a hatch and down into a lair?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / 8 Games now, 3 Worlds, 2 Ages, No Populated Fortresses
« on: September 12, 2011, 11:34:10 am »
I keep starting new games trying to find a populated fortress for trade and recruitment of companions. All are empty and full of wild animals. I've tried 3 different worlds, two at the 1050 year mark, one at the 250 year mark. NO matter which I go to, all fortresses I visit are empty.
What's a goin' on?
