DF General Discussion / Need a lot of help
« on: November 15, 2007, 02:41:00 pm »
So, I've read a the first pages of the forums, read the manual (a few times) and tried it for myself, but still:
I can't understand anything of this game!

I managed to cut some lumber and designated a stockpile for it, yet it remains empty. And I need that wood for beds.

Even if I had beds, I can't build an indoors place for it. All I can do is mine, and it destroys the rock.

I tried gathering food, and I assigned my only cook to prepare it, but he doesn't do anything. Do I need some sort of fireplace? (He's a novice cook)

And about that, I assigned some tasks, but nobody does them, even if they have the professions. I also assigned some farming plots, but my farmer doesn't do anything.

In fact, the only thing I've managed to do is build some dirt road. And the dwarves don't use it anyways.

Could anybody help me with these problems?

Needless to say, as you have not refuted my last post, according to rule 2, book 1, Pansthelm, you quadrgremlins are wiped out.

Or you throw four natural twenties and all my goblins are hit by meteorites. As if.

Luckily, all my people stay alive.
I declare a "Time of crisis and need!".
All my civilians become either soldiers of builders.
I rebuild by glorious city-empire and my soldiers are stationed in it.
I send my skeletal elephant-riding crossbowgoblins against your quadrgremlins.

I continue to wage war against all other players, who don't really exist, and keep my people happy.

(bump)

I proclaim the marmots "Enemies of the Nation".
I can now have weekly "Hate minutes", boosting the loyalty of my people, all thanks to the "Orwell much?" rule of the "Nations and crap" rulebook, Australian version.

I recruit all my "Restless folk" and send them to battle the underpayed marmots.
As my valiant soldiers fall into the magma vent, I blame it on everybody else, and promptly declare war.

With his superb toughness and leadership skills, Dwarfaholic (the character) not only survives the fall, but rounds up the survivors and establishes a city in the ruins of the board.
All according to my masterful plan. Muhaha.

You see, this is not happy city.
In fact, the word "Dystopy" would be far too mild of a word to properly capture the Orwelliness of this society.

In fact, just take 1984 and multiply the awesome by a hundred.

Ah, but Dwarfaholic throws his weapon at the one wielding the !!**&&$$))- you know, I'm not going to even write that.

Anyways, he kills it, and retrieves the uber sword and his previous weapon.

Well, as Dwarfaholic was at the meeting, he gained +5 comedian.
Also, as you have made a post, you are now vulnerable to "flip out".

Dwarfaholic charges at the Quadrgremlin!
It is surprised by the ferocity of his charge!

Psyco, of course you can join.

Hmph, so my hatred is now pity. Just as well, I guess.
Well, now that I'm on the field, I gain some stats from the meeting as well, and now have +5 legendary liar and comedian. Also, all my attribute levels are belong to toughness.

Another Cliche remark, and I now have 3 levels of pity, and a level of hatred. Booyeah!

Oh yeah, I also have sufficient (Over 9000!) points to summon in a cadre of zombie goblins. With crossbows. Riding on elephants.

As my only true opponent now is Dwarven Malcolite, who I shall hence refer to as DM, I send all my soldiers to attack his woodcutter. There is no hope of survival take your time.

And, if my counts are correct, that makes it 3 pity, 3 hatred.
All I need for "Flip out."
You see, you had thought you had got me, putting me on the field.

What you did not realize was that is was just where I wanted to be.

I use my remaining points to give myself an artifact mace, and activate "Flip out" on myself.

The Mayor is the first one to die.
The rest will join soon.

A !!Dwarf!! has sprung from ambush!


Thanks to rule 1387, rulebook IX, "We like ninjas!" edition, also known as the controversial "True stealth" edition, I have over the last few turns had a flaming dwarf sneak around the battlefield. I have had no need to declare this to the others, thanks to the aforementioned rule.

As we all know, fire has +5 legendary ambusher (see earlier posts), and, as we also know well, dwarves are basically mushrooms, seeing as they reproduce by spores (There is also the equally popular theory of telepathy, but I will discuss this later).

As you may well know, mushrooms adapt to their environments.
As this dwarf-mushroom notices it has a sneaking fire on it (This may take some time), it will adapt to the situation and learn as much as possible from the fire, getting superior sneaking skills too.
Thus, a legendary +5 ambusher !!dwarf!!.

/bow.

Also, if dwarves indeed do reproduce by telepathy, he will still gain legendary skills.
As we all know, each fire has a life. In some fires, this grows, until the fire becomes of Spirit of Fire. As these dwarves reproduce via telepathy, they have at least basic telepathic skills. Thus, they learn from the fire, and gain +5 ambush.

Now that I have proven that I do, indeed, have a sneaking !!dwarf!!, I will commence with the game.
As he is legendary, he gains attributes. Through sheer chance, they all go to toughness, making him super!!dwarvenly!! tough.

The !!dwarf!! emerges from ambush near Dwarven Malcolite's kittens. They all immediately adopt him, and run to him, setting themselves on fire.

The !!dwarf!! then goes to enjoy a drink at the still.


Also, as I have proved something that first seemed unlikely (see paragraphs 3-5), I gain 2448 extra points thanks to the "Runs around babbling" rule, which I probably don't need to list.

This raises my score to over nine thousand, activating the "Cliche remark" rule (Rule 1765, XIVeme rulebook, Caernarvon ruleset), forcing all creatures with [INTELLIGENT] to point at me shamingly.
As we know, dwarves are not intelligent, so my !!dwarf!! remains untouched.


Now that I am being shamedly pointed at, I activate the "Angsty nerd" rule (Rule 1, rulebook I, Pantshelm ruleset), making everybody hate me EVEN MORE.


Now I have two layers of hatred.
As planned...

A-ha!
As the elves have arrived, this gives me some elf meat.
The gore caused by my playing of Harold's playfield is more than enough to win me the Favor of the Blood God, rendering my units invulnerable to bass instruments and enabling me to summon two different metals and/or minerals and combine them with elf meat to create 1-7 custom objects.
I summon calcite and bauxite, and create the Ultimate Toy Anvil. Thus, the Baron will be inflicted by "Doggish Affection" and go wherever I tell him to go.

As he falls into the lava whilst being attacked by fire spirits, he gives me a last, wide-eyed, cute look, raising righteous hatred against me by every player either on or off the board.

Suicide, you say.
Tactics, I say.
