DF Gameplay Questions / Cant find people on sewer quest

« on: October 18, 2012, 08:53:33 pm »

Hey Nom again.

So i always get quest saying to kill something in the sewer but i always encounter dead ends.

So i get the quest, and go into the sewers. From this points my TSK is **** saying im on point. So i search the sewers but keep finding dead ends. What usually happens is:

You know how the sewers are three tiles wide. the outer are block floor and the inner is Deep water. The block floor sidewalk ends by a sandy wall or something and only the water continues. However, if you try to use the water path since the sandy block wall is above you, you end up drowning. $:-\$

Am i doing something wrong or does this have anything to with with swimming skill?
Thanks in advance

DF Gameplay Questions / How realistic is this games mechanics?

« on: October 17, 2012, 03:59:33 pm »

Nom again.

So by realistic i mean how much is the game actually processing events or are the random situations. To clarify:

Lets say you get attacked by goblins. When this happens the golbins are obviously at your doorstep ready to kill you. Did those goblins randomly appear, or somewhere at the golbin camp did they really rally and send those troop swith equipment that they literally had.

Im just trying to get an idea of how realistic the game gets and hope this question was too qonfusing.

Not yet, Toady's working on it though. He'll probably start on those after he fleshes out the sites more. So probably the update after this coming one.

Ohhhh... Cool and thanks!
Can't wait for this update then!

DF Gameplay Questions / How do you interact with things outside your fortress?

« on: October 15, 2012, 04:06:11 pm »

Hi, im a new member of DF, you can call me nom.

Straight to the point: I hear about all these amazing things you can do such as retrieving stolen babies from goblins or seiging camps etc. But I don't understand how you get there. To my knowledge, your camera is restricted to your fortress only, so how would you go about visiting a goblin encampment?

To conclude, is there away to interact with civilizations outside your little camera view screen?

Thanks and hope the answer isnt something simple, i have a habit of being simple sometimes.
