DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Retiring A Fort
« on: February 07, 2015, 11:57:11 am »
It becomes an background Fort similiar to all other Forts/towns on the map until you play it again.

That of course means that invasions against it can still happen in the background like it happens to the others and of course the active played one. Dwarfs can die, be born, go away or settle there. So expect some minor differences after you retired and then replayed it. Some Dwarfes tend to wear something else than what they did before after unretirement because they wanted to etc pp. The sall stuff.

Oh yeah, remember the weapontraps you installed there. You can easily kill your adventurer that way.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: A masterwork of Kadol Kadoldetes has been lost!

Dwarf1 shot an animal.
Dwarf1 put away the stack of bolts.
Dwarf2 improved the stack of bolts to masterwork.
Bolt lodged inside the animal became masterwork as well.
Nope, once a bolt is shot it becomes its own stack.

I guess it was not a classical thief picking up sray bolts or worse?
Be it either a Kobold or a Kea.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Why does pitting suddenly fail?
« on: February 01, 2015, 04:58:27 pm »
Out of curiousity, if you havent, check the descriptions of the Dwarfes where pitting fails, check if they are weaklings. Would be interesting if it indeed is related to that. But i am guessing here.

When taking an enemy out of the cage in order to pit him or transport him there's always a very slim chance of him breaking loose trying to escape. Or wouldnt you do that as prisoneer? :P

That's why keeping the pitting room secured is generally a good idea.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Human bone crossbow

Dwarfes do not butcher intelligent beings that is correct.

BUT...

if a human has happened to loose, say, an arm and it rots on its own down to the bones then those bones will be used because there was no butchering involved.

Made an aquatic fort.
How?
Easy. Build it below a source of water and then let the water flow inside...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Trading Prices?

The trading Dwarf needs to have the Appraiser skill in order to see and judge prices correctly.
Skills in observation and co cant hurt either to make him better.

Since you're using DF Hack cheats anyway, did you try to place a tile of 7 water on him?

I'd be surprised if he stays asleep by then. That little water aint hurting the dining hall.

.. turns out there was a HOLE in the roof of my first Z-level underground, and the goblin had fallen in from above. HTF did that hole get there?!!

If you dig the roots of a tree completely away and then fell the tree afterwards then it will result in a hole where the tree has formerly been.
