Hunting vampires in adventure mode has become extremely frustrating and difficult in adventure mode recently, not due to their fighting ability but because they no longer fight, they simply run off into the fields when they're called out, and with their speed and endurance, will almost always get away unless cornered. I suggest making vampires aggressive once they've been revealed, having them fight you rather than running away like little sissies.

I've been puttering about for days and i can't seem to find a store or market that sells quires or scrolls, anyone got an idea of where i can find them? thanks.

Also, sorry for posting so many pictures, but im pretty much going through a strange mood right now.

I had a really buff adventurer, very strong, but he had been for the most part disabled by lack of armour and weapons due to selling them for supplies. So i decided to give him a nice exit from the world.


Needless to say I took him for a few more adventures after that until he was killed by some dragon's breath.

Also, do you guys prefer the all white backgrounds or this slightly more refined stuff?

DF 2014 in it's current state can and will die if your world is too large or it's history too long, go for a short history and a small world.

Currently in 40.02 if you walk by a building with quite a few people in it, you will be interrupted by pages of text where the occupants talk about the times and whatnot, this is extremely annoying and slows the game way down in terms of getting from point A to B. I suggest that around a central location in a hamlet or town a building, like a well, would be generated, along with an NPC that is almost guaranteed to spawn there, like a lord inside of a castle. This town crier would be an easy way to pick up news and would make it easier to get around town without being assaulted by waves of gossip.

If you have any ideas on how this could be expanded please post them.

My most recent " successful" fortress had about a month and a half freeze per year, so i neglected to build walls around my river until i noticed most traders just up and swimming through it. I designated some walls to complete the entire wall in early summer, hoping to get the last few bits done in winter for the short freeze. The dwarves neglected to build said walls until the last week-ish of the freeze, at which point all of my carpenters decide "hey lets go have fun skating on the melting ice" not a single tile of wall was created that winter, all of my carpenters drowned as they were washed downstream, the stream was contaminated due to an arm being blown off and the deaths caused a tantrum spiral to rage through my fort until I pulled the doomsday switch. I was doing so well too, but as they say...

LOSING IS FUN

especially when you drown all of your dwarves in your gladiator pit
