Bay 12 Games Forum

I recently downgrade to a Pentium 4 3 ghz with 1 g ram. The game is running at more or less 30 fps at embark on 2x2. I turned off temperature and weather, didn`t breach cave, on a flat desert. So apart from traditional FPS improving techniques, I wonder what extreme measure in-game could be taken to maximize the limited power of Armok right now, because he doesn`t manage well since 2nd migrant wave but its not so bad.

My plan is next fortress I make a 1x1 garbage dump pit 20 z deep at start and start crushing every  useless item regularly. Also no big fortress, just a simple arena with limited facilities for champions and personel.

Also a plan is to kill most migrants by making them get naked in the military(no clothes, replace clothing), so they get quickly degraded and either die from depression or get killed for being berzerk. So basically, just a place for dwarves to die, I want executioner maximum dwarf kill fast. I will try personalizing his house for all his preference so he doesn`t go crazy.

I have heard about a vomitorium, a place where dwarves vomit due to exposition to the sun I guess; am I correct? Is it possible to make dwarves vomit in another way on purpose? And can you forbid vomit so it doesn't get clean? I'd really like to have a vomit factory.

I am bored and gonna write the whole story of my fort.

In the plane of prophecies a band of drunken warrios wander the world in search of an haven for their rowdy behavior and senseless violence thirst. Short, bearded and found of drink and industries, the glorious band of seven knows no better than satisfying their need for power and gluttony.

Before their departure from the Steamy Picks mountainhomes, our adventurers packed the following useless equipments based solely on their selfish self:

six hundred beer barrels
one male dog
two copper picks
five plump helmets barrels

The Plane of Prophecies has never seen so much bravery and godliness in booze-business, the migrants shall come for the booze be they beggars or kings we do not judge. Come numerous and join us in the Arena of Armok where all bearded freaks can satisfy their thirst for alcohol and blood!

Hi, my fortress was visited a few years ago by a child minotauress which we captured because I wanted a beast in my pit to kill everything that was thrown in it. After a few years it finally grew into an adult. Kadest Questcrazy the minotaur has ilk trousers and an iron helm... quite classy. How can I give that big girl a weapon? Also can i get the milk? lol

I  somehow dont have plump helmets!?!? During embark I took the original build with no change then when I plowed my first farm I realised I couldnt plant plump helmets. Then I figured out that I could dig large underground cave of fungus and shrooms but there doesn't seem to have any plump helmets in the caverns too ! Sure hope the traders got some. Is it possible my civilisation doesn't have plump helmets?

Is it possible for dwarves to actually put their weapons in the chest or what! And also... when you assign squad to a chest it says press -p- to assign position. What does that do!

btw my question mark is disabled on this keyboard

I am recently at my ... 5,6 or seventh embark on the same site !Reclaiming! the old fortress. Its great! I just embark with booze, dog meat and a whole lot of granite. I'm currently working on the entrance of my fort: a splendid citadel with towers that will connect my fortress atop a small mountain with 2 bridge. When stones run out we leave everything left to the lions waiting  for us.

Anyone knows if goblin can show up during year 1 after multiple reclaims?

I have snow in the center of my volcano, on the diorite block floor that serve as animal sacrifice magma plongeon to armok (praise the lord of all ascii mayhem, a new puppy as been sacrificed to you today as it befits your great splendor and wrath)... WHAT THE HELL IS SNOW DOING THERE! Isn't it supposed to be hot in the mouth of pure joy and evil? I guess the mountain at the top generated that snow....
