The very first thing I immediately assumed dwarves would make with old goblin silk loincloths is headscarves. Ew.
Anyway, seconded. Nothing worse like having your crafts stockpile packed due to 8 consecutive goblin invasions.
Well, except for the fact they killed all your haulers.

It can be dwarven too! You plant an underground tree, harvest its produce into alcohol, and render the tree into a ballista arrow.
Or just leave the fruit on.
This is a wooden ballista arrow. It is made of apple tree wood. It menaces with apple bearing branches.

I tend to evade such problems by staying the heck off the surface.

Dwarf environmentalism at it's best! I'm not quite sure the if the elves would be pleased, though.

But where would we stash our cripples?
Jokes aside, I agree with this as well. I am hoping all guard-types get a bit of an AI boost in the upcoming Army arc either way.

No harm in a little reminder. The fact it reappears often (by unique users) just reinforces how much we really feel it should be implemented.

And suddenly, I'm compelled to make a tower defense mod...

I'll keep my stance short and sweet.
Gunpowder is way too human. It would blow out large chunks of stone, rendering it unusable, and is a just plain wimpy way to mine. A real dwarf would coat his teeth in adamentine and bite his way into a mountain. But since that's not possible, they have to settle with picks.
So there. Nyah.

« on: March 06, 2008, 04:17:00 pm »
It's not difficult to do this with one stone, actually. You just press b, C, w and select where you want the stone to block. :roll:
Playful jeers aside, I would see this as more of an obstacle than anything. Mostly because I toss all my rocks down chutes to my workshops. 7 stones blocking a tile + dwarfs needing to stand on a tile to pick something up = broken functionality.

DF Suggestions / Re: Dwarf Fortress LAN?
« on: March 05, 2008, 08:54:00 am »
Yes, multiplayer is rather sought after in any form. Unfortunately, it's just not a practical pursuit at this point - at least for Toady. Some really crafty modder might be able to pull it off, though it would pretty much take a rewrite in entirety for the base code.
But either way, yes, many of us wish we could play simultaneously, but until that amazing day comes, we'll have to make due with succession games.

« on: March 03, 2008, 03:00:00 pm »
The idea of adding waste/sewers/toilets gets tossed around on here. I guess the fact it keeps getting brought up is a testament to how much people want it...
It's really up to toady though. If he deems it proper, it'll go in (or rather, come out).

To continue to the chain of toilet humor...
Urist had the displeasure of having squishy boots lately.
Also, it might add another smear tag aside from water, blood, and vomit to your dwarf's thongs... :roll:
