DF Gameplay Questions / GENOCIDING BADGER MEN! Does it really work?
« on: December 21, 2011, 09:24:59 pm »
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?

I have this one dwarf, hes my militia commander, and hes right now complaining about two things: 1. Being releived from duty and 2. Depressed from long patrol hours... What the hell do I do!?

94
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

« on: December 17, 2011, 12:31:17 pm »
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 Wealth and Things Caused by It
« on: December 15, 2011, 06:15:52 pm »
I just had a metalcrafter make an adamantine bracelet and it skyrocketed my freaking wealth (worth 723600!!!!) and I'm wondering... WHat does wealth even accomplish? All i ever get with things like this is crap to sell to merchants... All I'mtold is it attracts kobalds cause they steal things, and while im at it, what does Import/Export do and how do I increase it?

98
Ok, I just found adamantine and have a magma forge/smelter, I have 17 dwarves, wealth is unknown atm... 100? units of drink, roughly 6- 20? units of assorted food, i have 2 miners, 2 woodworker, 1 stoneworker, 1 ranger, 1 metalsmith, 2 craftsdwarves, 1 peasant (hes got assorted dodger, striker, etc. skills, currently hauling stuff), 2 children, 5 farmers and 15 assroted animals. I also have a rough barracks (3 beds, 2 racks, a stockpile for ammo/weapons), a small dining room, nobles quarters (not very noble atm), LOTS of bedrooms (enough for next migration wave as long as it doenst surpass 20), training stuff, some random glass, a ton of gems (i could swim in them), alot of crafts, and alot of wood ( intened to burn it, but found magma when building extra floors down for additions (guess i went too far?), i got more then enough ores for whatever the hell I want (silver, gold, hemetite, limonite, tetrahedrite, etc.) and i got enough doors/beds for bedrooms, just theres so much work with so little dwarves

Name says it all, any tips to sucessive/bloodline games? I'm reletivley new to DF, but I can hold my own for almost everything that was thrown at me (namely a giant, 3 goblins with crossbows and a goblin swordmaster). If anything else may be told to me in order to help me with sucessive/bloodline games, feel free to share! Otherwise, let me know of any openings please ;D

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  :)
