DF Gameplay Questions / Re: umm, mayor, y can't you promote?

well, i have a mayor in a community of 192 dwarves, the lisaon has came once since i had 183, but hasn't returned due to the fact that i was seiged 3 times in 3 month of the season of winter, by like 7 squads of goblins (who is now rotting in my dungen for training), 1st

1. is there a way to relive the attacks, i mean i only have 2 casultys, and all the goblins haven't even got past my 1st wave, but they jsut keep on comeing,

2. what requirements are needed for baron/ king ?
1) Releiving the attacks usually involve in a retreat or if its just an ambush, use (u)nits screen and look under Others and look for any hostile units. Then send all squads after ONE guy and then the other goblins will show up, and then slaughter will ensue (hopefully its giving the salughter, not taking it)

2) If I recall, its 10000 exported wealth, 80 population, and a total accumilated wealth of over 50000, but im not certain about that last number

DF Gameplay Questions / Domestication: How long does it take?
« on: March 30, 2012, 05:01:54 pm »
I currently had for quite some time wolverines and giant wild boars consistantly trained (literally, I have several guys set to ONLY training animals and animal care) and they have yet to domesticate either one... Do I need an animal trainer of a specific quality? Or does it just take a rediculous amount of time to deomesticate them?

I waited for two months. Darn, I had a really good well going, and I was doing good. It's only my second fotress, the 1st got destroyed about a month in from a tantrum spiral, lol. So I researched a lot for this one, actually though it was going to survive long enough to fight a megabeast or titan or something. Oh, well. Lesson learned ;)
I've only failed to hold a fortress once, others i played too safe and proeeded to get boring... This one im donig right now is the most "fun" fortress i had, where in te first year, I had four ambushes... AT THE SAME TIME... And with a tiny army too, so I ended off with plenty of goblinite with the goblin attatched, plenty of corpses to loot, and a boom in production of coffins... And I still have a population of over 50 8) IJust letting you know now, its better to live DF in "fun" then to play it safe, that way you learn from your mistakes and become a god :D

I have had giant leopard, and giant leopard cubs, so you can breed them.
So is it I need to be at domesticated or giant wild boars just refuse to breed?

DF Gameplay Questions / Breeding Non-Domestic Animals Possible?
« on: March 28, 2012, 08:41:19 pm »
I've had for quite some time three Giant Wild Boars that are in a pasture, constantly trained with and they are at "general familiarity" in knowledge, but I've had them in the same pen for almost a year now, and I still haven't gotten any baby giant boars at all... Is it th fact I haven't domesticated them? Is it because giant animals can't breed? Or can you not train animals that aren't "base" (dog, cat, cow, sheep, etc.)?

Hmm...

I've had problems with cripples in the past. You *could* execute him, I believe that crippled dwarves so long as they can crawl do respect burrows... they're really just a drain on your resources otherwise.
Thank god i'm maknig a danger room, ill leave it on repeat and see how long he lasts, any bets?

That was not an image I needed to see.
You have a weak stomach don't you? Don't worry, I'll remove pic if you want, I appologize, but it shows you how MASSIVE i think that grasshopper is (small car if you don't notice)

I usually have 2 Nurses with Feed/recover wounded , cleaning on and nothing else. They'll still harvest crops/deconstruct buildings/pasture animals though.
You can burrow them into the hospital but then they won't collect the wounded or leave the burrow for food stockpiles :/
I have plenty of others doing stuff, and his limbs are all in yellow, and the status screen says nothing about it and the health screen says he lost his ability to stand but treatment says NOTHING, not even diagnosis

And current version

Giant animals are generally FREAKING MASSIVE!
I got less meat off of a giant wild boar... only 15, giant grasshopper: 75

I'm terrified to how the thing actually fit in the cage... It kinda reminds me of this:

A magma pool is a GOOD thing. It's a source of magma that's above the magma sea, and thus can be rather convenient. A "deep pit" is just that; it's a pit that extends into the next lower cavern level.

If you break into HFS... you'll know, trust me.
Ive broken into it before, I just haven't done it in recent update...

I have proof i did too, look up scrubbedcreams last page, i ended it off quite well XD

Stare till he cant eat cause he's to injured.
Unfortunatley, he can crawl just fine to the food stores, and he wont grab a crutch for some reason, and theres no diagnosis needed aparently, he just crawls about annoying the crap out of me until he gets hungry, tired or thirsty, and then crawls away... He has a wife and kids, and all of them are in the fortress unfortunatley... So if I lock him in the "special aid room" he would just cause another pissed off  crafter (I had to deal with a stark raving mad crafter who threw off all his clothes and kept screaming until he got thirsty and took a nose dive into the water, then he never complained about being thirsty again)

no  bait  is needed for cages... just having a stack of  5+ cages and for some reason animals and creatures are lured to them.  They will even stand next to them for awhile then after one jumps inside a few others usually follow... a few will remain at the cages just watching their loved ones inside.
Would this work if I clustered them? And anyone know where to send things in to update wiki info? I domesticated and slaughtered a giant grasshopper nad and holy crap, 75 pieces of meat in ONE go, two brains(wtf?), and rest was two or 3 except heart, and on wiki, it lacks the info of it

I always cluster my cage traps... typically I don't watch the cage traps, but I've noticed once the animals/creatures stop and stare at the cages as compared to the usual roaming all over the map... it's only time until you have them.

Clustering them might help speed up capture. Usually the first caught is I think the pack leader, so the rest will still follow the group alpha, even if caged. caving numerous cages around may allow them to stumble into them as the hover near the alpha's capture site.

And many a brain has two halves. There, easiliy explained.
Doesn't explain the three livers...
Doesn't explain why It's testicle has brains and heart inside it :/
Point taken... Where do I send things in to update the wiki with this info? I think people need to know about the giant grasshopper meat you get from ONE GIANT GRASSHOPPER (does this mean its twice the size of a human???)
