DF Gameplay Questions / Migrant Wave...
« on: July 09, 2013, 01:08:25 pm »
Code: [Select]
My fortress was doing exceptionally well considering my overall skill level at this game. The only problem was, I wasn't really getting migrants or caravans, it was almost in the 2nd summer when I thought, "I am really going to need some migrants or a caravan VERY soon or I don't know what im going to do". I got my wish, my fortress instantly went from 14 dwarf to... 39! 40 DWARFS!

Somebody....help me...?

General Discussion / Dreams of your True Love
« on: July 06, 2013, 06:03:25 am »
Have you ever had one of those dreams at any point in your life where you meet your absolute love of your life. You may have sheltered her(can be a him too! For now on its a she, because i am a straight male.) from a storm of some sort. You may have picked up her books if she dropped them, etc. In my dream i sheltered her from a storm or something, i can't quite remember what I was sheltering her from because i was focusing more on her. She went and laid down on my bed and fell asleep. She was beautiful and kind in every way. She was apparently from my school in the dream because when i woke up (I slept too, in another room) she was gone, and when I went to school that day I was asking if people knew someone named ..... ...... Yeah, i don't even remember what her name was in the dream, like I said, i was focusing less on details and more on her. They said they knew her and she was a daughter of a teacher.  The thing about these kinds of dreams is they make me incredibly sad once i wake up. They make me sad because I met the love of my life in that dream and once i woke up i realize that's it, all it was was a dream. I was so blinded by that dream that i rushed to my computer to look up the name on Facebook that i barely even remembered to find nothing. This mystical ghost girl had stole my heart in a dream and it affected me even in real life. Have you guys ever had a dream like this? If so, can you tell me(us?) some details of that dream and if it actually affected you upon waking up? P.S. I understand there's already a thread dedicated to dreams, but i want my dream and the dreams of people who comment solely to be on this topic because i'm curious in this.

Edit: I'm going to put this in the main post and also my recent post on here. What i mean by True Love, is not that you are destined by pure nature to be with this person, but that you yourself believe this is the only person you would ever imagine wanting to be with, as in she/he/(it?) is the best thing you could ever imagine you'd ever want.

DF Gameplay Questions / Couple (?Hundred?) Questions.
« on: November 09, 2012, 05:37:39 pm »
Okay guys, well i'm new to dwarf fortress and i have a couple questions. I'd be grateful if you guys could answer them. Oh, and if you guys don't mind, i'll be posting more questions over time. If you can, will you guys keep checking back and answering them periodically? If you can, thanks.

Edit: I know about the wiki, and i have used it for many things. But sometimes the wiki isn't detailed on certain things. Like question 3 here.

P.S: I'll be leaving old questions here that have been answered with (Solved) beside them, in case somebody else wanted to see the answer.

P.S.S: Should i include answers as well with solved questions to help other people? Just thinking about helping others y'know.

1st off - (Important)  I'm having trouble understanding the military's alert and schedule screens. I understand they work together alot and are apparently useless without each other or close to it, but i just can't really figure them out so they "understand" each other and work. Oh, and i'm wanting to establish a training program as well as a "panic alert" for civilians and a "defend the entrance" for the military. I just need a Brief explanation on this cooperation.

2nd, Can hunters not reclaim their bolts? One of my hunters killed a kangaroo early on in my fort's life...but he missed a lot A ENORMOUS AMOUNT in the process. (Solved)

3rd, How long would it be before my dwarf's clothes start falling off their skin and i have to make new ones? (Solved)

Old 4th question:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edit 4th Question: Then what is the point in training weapons? Is it just so you have a cheap weapon that is only used incase you don't have enough regular weapons?

More to come... Maybe....

DF Gameplay Questions / Need help with alerts(?)
« on: November 07, 2012, 06:42:26 pm »
Yeah, well i was trying to make a |Panic Alert| for my civs so they can go someplace when something fun happens. So I thought i had everything in order but when i started playing again, everybody was just sitting in the panic room and they will not move, like it is active. (I believe it might be actually, but i can not turn it to being non-active) If i make them go back to their inactive/regular state, they still sit there like a bump on a log doing nothing and if i try to tell them to do something i get a announcement that says "(Name) cancels (action): Drop off inaccessable." So im assuming its because they are not allowed to leave the room. How would i fix this so that they go back to normal? Oh, and how would i set this up better in the future so that i can have a panic room too?

I'm only a couple weeks into DF so i'm pretty bad on certain things, especially military things.
