DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Friendlies in dungeon
« on: December 07, 2012, 07:34:22 am »
So Im in a dungeon where there appears to be several non-hostile creatures. Including a commander and a captain. (There are also few hostile creatures). Are these bandits which dont recognize me as a hostile for some random reason?

When I reported kills to the commander he didnt say "thats good etc" and he also didnt say "foreign news dont help us". He said I love such stories. Also when I ask him about his profession and family he says I rather not talk about the past. So in essence can I kill him, take his loot and report his death to the joy of normal civilians?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Wonky volcanic fall
« on: November 12, 2012, 08:35:33 am »
So I just had a strange occurance. I was channeling right next to the top of a volcano and somehow the dwarf caused a cave in on the tile he was on. He was pushed aside and proceeded to fall down inside the volcano. However he didnt die instantly. He sort of just floated slowly down in the pipe all the way down, which was atleast 80z levels. He reporting everything he saw, including: the last cavern, the pipe that was in it, candy and the magma sea. When he hit the bottom of the magma sea he just vanished. Seems to me like falls after a cave in is behaving a bit strangely or perhaps its the same for falls in general.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Best material for whips
« on: October 22, 2012, 02:30:07 am »
Its a pretty straight forward question. Which is the best material for whips?

I got a silver one, a iron one and a bronze one (with a bit higher quality). Am I right in assuming that since the whips right out pierce the armor then the heaviest (i.e. silver) is the best material, because it makes the most damage?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Temperature changes under constructs?
« on: October 12, 2012, 04:30:28 am »
So I embarked on an freezing tundra with an aquifier because I had decided that I wanted to dig through it. Using the fact that channeling down freezes the water coming out of the aquifier. This creates walls of ice blocking more water coming out. After a huge hole being dug out and several years of digging and tantrum spirals (due to miners getting frozen to death when they randomly walked into the aquifier pits who then where instantly frozen), Ive finaly gotten through the 7 layer aquifier in this fashion.

However now I got a gaping hole in my fort, which leads to several questions.

Can I build floor tiles above to shut the giant hole or will that eventually thaw the ice walls in the hole? If so will a glass floor prevent thawing from happening?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Triplets
« on: October 09, 2012, 09:00:06 am »
So I just got triplets, cant remember ever getting it before.



How rare is it? And how are the dwarves carrying the babies? All three at the same time? One in each hand and one on the head?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Badass dwarf dies of old age
« on: May 05, 2012, 09:52:54 am »
Just had one of my most badass dwarves die of old age. A year ago he killed three cave dragons (and a number of goblins) basically alone, year before that he dealt the killing blow to a forgotten beast who killed 3 other well trained dwarves and now he died of old age. Feels like I achieved something.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Vampire lawgiver arrives.
« on: May 03, 2012, 06:34:40 am »
So I know diplomats are usually not only humans but also demons and creatures that have risen to great power over the years but having an open vampire as a diplomat is just dumb. Arent vampires killed once known in dwarf fortress?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Vampires collecting large kill counts.
« on: April 19, 2012, 03:24:32 am »
Is it just me or do some vampires end up with large killcounts 5000+ and when you get the mission they tell you everyone knows he/she is a vampire but no one dares to confront him/her. Then when you actually confront them they end up wearing only cloth and a knife. Sometimes easily taken down by the 5-6 peasants standing around once confronted.

Then you get a missiont to kill a megabeast like a titan and its supposedly a massive threat to the civilization, yet it has only killed 3 ppl.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Sieges with flying bats and fleeing mounts.
« on: April 05, 2012, 07:47:42 pm »
So Ive had two forts suffering from two similar problems now, where the goblins arriving are riding some animal which clearly is in more control than they are. Rutherers who flee as soon as they see a dwarf and giant bats who just flutter around in the corners of the map (with the leader ofc, leaving the whole army sitting there). Is there some easy way to deal with this issue until its fixed? Like removing the mount ability in the raws somewhere while the game is running so they dismount or make the animals aggressive or something. Its really frustrating.

So far Ive ended up training up marksdwarves who shoot the bastards to death before they can do anything, which takes awhile when the dwarves are untrained. In the case of the bats Its not always even possible to shoot them (diffrent z-levels).

So I got my first dragon arriving today. My trusty military killed it but unfortunately they ran back burning setting fire to random things in the fort and it just keeps spreading! How do I deal with the fire?
