There's a lot of rivers, brooks and etc in the world map, there should be no need to go back a lot, just move on the world map (press T to travel on world map in case you didn't knew) and you'll reach a river/brook very quickly

Outside of silver and platinum, steel would technically be the best, but you're not going to see steel whips unless you mod the raws in a way that steel whips will show up. Silver whips and scourges aren't hard to find.

So, uh, how do I get people to give me quests? Because I can't figure out the new conversation system.

the true quests from previous version of DF unfortunately have been all removed from DF2014, all you have now is a rumour system and none of the NPC seems to really care about what they're telling you anyways..
To get those rumour things :

- wait until someone (ally or random NPC) tell you about a problem, you reply to him and can ask him where is the problem located
- ask an NPC for problems and he will tell various kind of problems, reply with bringing the subject on a specific one and you'll be able to ask where it is.
- if you're a heartperson you can ask your lord/lady about heartperson duty, sometime instead of telling you there's no problem, they may give you a real quest (good luck for making it works)

But most of those are not quests with an ending in the end, very likely because it's not really completely implemented and sometime even broken as if you get rid of the "problem", whatever it is, those NPC will most likely reply at 99% of chance "it was inevitable" and that will be it (and will probably re-tell you about the same problem later, ignoring that you already told them you got rid of it)

Very rarely an NPC will be actually happy the "problem" is resolved (like in the case of children being freed and brought back to the parent), and sometime they will even accuse you of being a murderer for solving the problem they pointed you to...

Hmmh... Well, that's unfortunate, but in that case, how does one increase the max-follower count?

Ah, I see, so I guess I should be recounting all the crap I've killed to every villager I meet? On it.

I'm wondering, what is the max amount of living followers people have managed to get in DF2014 without modding their games in any ways ?
My most long lived adventurer with several hundred of enemies killed (and all reported) has only managed 4 or 5 followers (while having high social awareness).

It's a pity the followers amount are that severely capped, as in that state you can't make armies and lead them into battle vs other armies (though i never saw anything worthy of being called an army when i found "army in the march", at most a dozen of eternally sleeping gobs) or civilisations.

Though i wonder, if you claim lordship on a location, are you still badly capped in your max followers ?

they are neutral, usually.  try killing semimegabeasts instead.  prove yourself a warrior.  its hard to get a title or reputation for anyone group (let alone civ), but its doable.

I use superior social awareness and I can have a max of 12 followers easy. You can still increase that greatly by rescuing prisioners, but those aren't really combat viable.

Exploring a pocket world to test some things, i went into the ruins of a dwarf fortress.
And noticed there was no bed at all anywhere in the thousands of little "bedrooms", there were only clothes on the "bedrooms" , and all of them were size "large".

I thought the bug with dwarves fortress not having a single dwarf-sized item had been solved a few versions ago, anyone ran into this problem in 40.18 ?
Maybe only the "still alive" dwarves fortress are fixed and the ruins are still affected ?

edit : yes, i found the report and it's supposed to be fixed since 40.11 , so i reported my 40.18 save

I've never had any problems finding normal (for dwarves) sized clothes and armor since it was fixed. Haven't paid close attention to the bedrooms in ruins though, but the armor in the trade depot and shops aredwarf sized.

That's what I've seen in a post 40.11 ruin; large stuff in bedrooms, dwarf sized stuff in depot and storeroom. Ruined by a forgotten beast, but may have been under goblin civ control at some point, so maybe the large stuff is meant for trolls. (Hillocks to the west have trenches and towers. A nearby dark fortress claims it trades with this ruin. They also claim to trade with a vault.)
