« on: September 02, 2012, 09:36:08 am »
So, i have a dwarf in my two man military (mainly for thieves and wildlife) but hes about 109 years old and i was wondering whether this will have an effect on his combat effectiveness or will he die soon because i dont want to spend time training a doomed OAP  :P

DF Gameplay Questions / Dehydrating in adv. mode
« on: September 02, 2012, 09:16:14 am »
I recently made an adventurer because i have never tried make one seriously before, but every time i travel or sleep he gets hungry and thirsty.I got food covered, ill just hunt and butcher an animal or steal some of the local crops but when my starting pack of three water is gone, the only way i can get more is to drink it directly from a river. no storing it for later, no getting it from wells, just drinking from a river...  :(

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Strange Name/description of megabeasts
« on: August 31, 2012, 12:41:54 pm »
As it says above, post any strange descriptions or names of megabeasts you've encountered or read about in legends. Sadly i do not have any interesting megabeasts in my world and never have since my fortresses rarely last long enough to entice them  :(

I would like to try version the oldest version after 2d as i have tryed 23a and find it not to my liking and the current versions are great but i would like to try something different. I looked on bay12 games and in the older versions there were several 40d`s and also some others such as 40b,40c etc... so i wanted to know which is the oldest 3d version and what differences are their between them and the current version? thanks  :D

DF Gameplay Questions / what to do with caged theifs/snatchers
« on: August 25, 2012, 07:48:13 am »
I completely covered the entrance to my fort in a minefield of cage traps and recently i have been getting an influx of theives and snatchers due to the gold/platinum coins i have been making recently, how should i "dispose" of them?

DF Gameplay Questions / Is it supposed to be so easy?
« on: August 25, 2012, 07:05:32 am »
When i first started DF a while back, i could barely grasp a metal industry so small it couldnt even be deemed a metal industry, but on my current fort i have in excess of 1000 iron bars and coke aswell. This is due to the huge veins/clusters of magnetite and hematite, Are they supposed to be that large/frequent?

DF Gameplay Questions / is iron good enough?
« on: August 24, 2012, 06:34:23 pm »
I have a fortress of around 45 dwarves and when i started mining at the beginning of the fort i discovered multiple huge veins of lignite,coal,magnetite,hematite and limonite. I immediately started metal production for my militia and they are now fully outfitted with iron armor and weapons and i wondered:

1.is iron good enough for a fort this size and when should i upgrade?
2. around what level of threat/enemy/armor will iron effectively nuetralise?
3.my military currently contains 1 marksdwarf and 1 axedwarf which i know isnt enough for an effective army, how big should the army of this size fort be?

Thanks Guys,

DF Gameplay Questions / embarking on towns
« on: August 22, 2012, 03:50:18 pm »
I am aware that in older versions you could embark on top of towns and fortresses but now the embark option is shaded out and i would like to know if i can somehow edit the raws and be able to embark on structure such as towns,towers and mountain halls.

DF Gameplay Questions / playing as other stuff?
« on: August 22, 2012, 02:59:38 pm »
While trying to figure out how to disable aquifers in the raws, i thought "while im here i may aswell do something possibly game breaking  :P" so i added the [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag to every race in the entity standard file in order to try and play as them... it did not go as planned.I would like to have a step by step (im pretty slow :-[) on:

1.how to completely get rid of aquifers from my game
2.how to make other races playable

Thanks  :D

DF Gameplay Questions / how to get wood?
« on: August 22, 2012, 10:29:52 am »
I started a fort on a mountain biome that had no trees and therefore no way to make beds, so i was wondering, besides the caverns, is there any way to get wood other than fell trees?

DF Gameplay Questions / How to open raw files
« on: August 19, 2012, 03:54:23 pm »
I recently was going to try some simple raw modding. Nothing big, just like adding the NO EAT and NO DRINK tags to my dwarves to skip the food industries but when i try to open the raws of my savegames it says: "windows does not know which program to open these with" and i just ended up confused about alot of things :-[. Can anyone please answer:
1. what program do i use to open my savgame raws?
2. if i want to undo said modifications, can i just delete the world and will everything go back?
3. what happens if i mod the general raws and not my saves?
