I just recently killed every single badger man on a world I made, does this mean badger men will no longer show up?

DF Gameplay Questions / Regarding Prisoners
« on: December 21, 2011, 05:29:04 pm »
Today I just found something in my traps today (damn dogs are too lazy to sniff them out), and I got a bit of goblinite with the goblin still attached... What do I do with the poor bitch (its apparently a lady... DIdn'y know goblins had females...?) Can I make her a slave or something? Feed the forgotten beasts hiding around in the cavern under my fortress? Enlist them into the military? Its a baby snatcher, and I'm told they run right away... So what do I do?

DF Gameplay Questions / The Elves are... Surprisingly not mad at all at clear cut land???
« on: December 17, 2011, 10:16:41 pm »
As it states, I just clear cut my entire map (and trust me, there was ALOT), and the elves came. Me, I'm expecting them to be all like "YOU KILLED OUR TREES!" and they arrive and theyre perfectly fine... What gives?

DF Gameplay Questions / Regarding Megabeasts and the Like
« on: December 17, 2011, 09:49:44 pm »
I've been constantly making my fortress really good, but I can't help but realise that In the time I've played dwarf fortress, Ive only encountered a giant, nothing much else. Is there anything that brings them in? Also is it possible to tame some of them? Perhaps a dragon? And also whats the best way to deal with them since the giant was killed by merchants and my speardwarf stabbing at his guts

I just built up 4 ballistas and I have no idea how to work them, I was just reccomended to build them cause theyre good for defence. The same guy refused to tell me howthey work becuse he wants me to figure it out... But, its been like a month now and I give up trying to figure it out, so how do they work? and is a catapult better?

DF Gameplay Questions / Regarding Embarking
« on: December 13, 2011, 06:41:10 pm »
What is the most reccomended loadout for starting out? I usually start out with 2 proficient miners, a proficient woodcutter, proficient mason, proficient carpenter, proficient grower/adequete herbalist, proficient herbalist/adequete brewer, 1 of each dog, 1 of each cat (each being male/female btw), and the rest of my embark points is set to plump helmets and beer and one less battle axe then usual. Rest is default. Any ideas how i can make this better?

DF Gameplay Questions / Regarding starting a Military/Fortress Defense
« on: December 13, 2011, 05:23:31 pm »
I'm constantly having issues with making an army or even traps to deal with. Usually when I get to the point I get iron, I get an ambush or something else "fun". I honestly had at one point, a magma forge WITH adamantine, and just as im starting to build traps, WHAM! Ambush! Half of my population is murdered, and the rest is left with assorted broken limbs (poor, poor dwarves :( ). Any way to possibly rush a military or make traps faster, would be very helpful. Also it would be nice for any other general tips for a somewhat new player  :)
