i think it makes sense,prayer/sacrifice has been used to "pacify the gods in many religions...
But is it even possible to pacify Armok?

[zlurker]

Interpretations of Armok seem to be pretty varied. Personally I've always seen him as a being similar to Moradin from D&D's patheon with some hints of Thor's rackousness spirit and comrade-ry towards the common dorf. The kind of god that would be willing to sit down and have a pint with you. :x

I think the official consensus is that the player himself is Armok, since we generate worlds, control the lifes of the dwarves, are cruel, never satisfied, and throw everything away to generate a new world sooner or later.

If I disable caravans in the GUI, can I still call them through the embassy (or whichever building it was that does it)? I'm planning to finally try out some mega projects when I'm back home, so I'm looking into every possible way of saving FPS (so 34.11).

[Meph]

No, and how would that help your FPS?  If you want less dwarves, just set a population cap.

[misiekm]

I do set a pop cap. What I meant is that when caravans visit, my FPS tends to go down, especially later in the game. I was hoping I could call them over only when necessary. Oh well, too bad. Thanks for the answer.

Deconstruct your trade depot = no caravans come. 

[misiekm]

... Well that is one simple solution I did not consider.

Thanks again

they do afaik, just sit at the edge of the map

they don't come with wagons, though

[Meph]

No pathfinding, no FPS affected.

[Putnam]

nah, any creatures will affect FPS regardless of pathfinding, even if not as much as when they're moving

so i went back to dwarfmode since like.. forever, having fond memories of the tradestalls i built a few.. and i can only sell fish to them for gold?

what about if i don't have gold on my embark?, why cant i trade with the damn merchants. so help me if it was gutted for "humans" i will go berserk...


fine if i cant sell my crap to merchant stalls for gold to buy neat fun things, how do "YOU" go about getting gold coins to pay for the stuff. aside from the obvious "mine it / trade for it / use the tavern / alchemy lab"

I mint copper coins. Exchange for shillings at Morul's tavern. Exchange shillings for sovereigns. After a while, invaders drop gold and rose gold armor and weapons. Melt those. Rose gold bars get melted into gold bars at the metallurgist forge.

I also like to have a priest praying for soft metals, offering souls, and sacrificing hearts.

Selling raw fish works too, if I remember to do it. It makes me smile that of all dwarven craftdwarfship, the merchants will only buy raw fish.

[Meph]

OH! Now I get it.

That fish-selling reaction shouldnt be there. I took out selling stuff from the dwarves when I introduced the trading mechanism to the humans.

Pray for soft metal
Mint gold/silver into coins


Why mine when you can pray?
