DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Baby boom, can't cloth them all!

What I usually do is setup six 3 by 15 farm plots, half for rope reeds and half for pig tails with rope reeds being grown whenever pig tails aren't to ensure a constant supply of thread. Build three farmer workshops, three looms, and three clothiers shops. Assign each clothier shop to one of the three main articles of clothing and set everything to autorepeat.

Presto! A fully automated clothing generator. Just set it up and forget about it. Half the time I don't even know it's there.

The fortress of Cloutship weathered its first major siege today. A squad of goblin spearmen and another of goblin bowmen charged the entrance of the fortress. We went to close the gate, but a tantruming recruit destroyed the lever that operated it, leading to the premature deaths of a squad of marksdwarves who were set to rain death from the tower above. The squad of goblin spearmen charged up the stairs and slaughtered them all.

The recruit, who didn't have the decency to take a goblin arrow in the back, has since been fed to the Giant Sponge that dwells in yonder river. His beard hangs over the entrance to the barracks as a warning to all other recruits.

Luckily we had a fallback position underground with a secondary blockade which the majority of our military fell back to and held. The goblin spearmen charged the barricade but were quickly caught in cage traps along the length of the hallway. Unfortunately the goblin bowmen were a little more savvy, and hung around the outside edges of our traps. Thankfully, a contingent of war dogs had been bred for just such an emergency. The gate to their kennels was thrown open and they rushed the goblins, providing a perfect opportunity for Cloutship's military to charge in from behind their fortified position and end the nuisance once and for all.

Need to build a wall around my trade depot, which is currently outside the protection of my tower entrance. A goblin ambush killed most of the elves that were trading there. Fine by me, I hate those buggers. After finishing their slaughtering those beardless hippies, the goblins came through the entrance of my tower and were subsequently captured by my cage traps.

With the threat dealt with, I sent my haulers to the surface so that they may loot the corpses of the fallen tree huggers when a second ambush arrived, slaughtering a great many of my civilian dwarves before my military could come topside and deal with the threat. The commander of my militia lost both her husband and child in the fight. To cheer her up, I stripped my captured goblins of their gear and let her take joy in their slaughter.

I tried to get my friend to get into playing DF. His first fort and not ten minutes in every last one of his dorf's are killed by a giant berserking wolverine.

Started a brand new fort a while ago. I've got my seven dwarves and I'm doing just fine. Then comes my first migrant wave. A husband, a wife, and their five children. Not thirty seconds after they get on the map, the husband dwarf goes berserk and slaughters most of his own children. I form a squad out of my seven dwarves and send them in to kill the father. Turned out he was a very skilled fighter. Had to have been, the way he beat the living hell out of everyone.

So I finally manage to take him out. Most of my dwarves are in the makeshift hospital I threw together at the last minute to care for them. Then the mother throws a tantrum due to the loss of her children and murders everyone in their sleep.

I freaking love this game! I wish I'd found out about it ages ago.

A goblin ambush was recently stopped cold by my hallway of falling rubble, leaving a goblin swordsman the only survivor. Sent out my two squads of soldiers to finish it off so it would stop trying to mutilate my livestock. That goblin bastard killed every last one of them by himself. The resulting tantrum spiral was a great deal of fun.

Starting over at the base of a volcano now.
