What's the most effective weapon against those horde of undeads.
I was using swords and deon's witcher. Igniting a ton of zombies is not a good idea. Any tip?
My best guess is axes. Whatever you're using, go for the legs first, then if you can't rekill them they're at least slow enough to run away from.
I just found a bunch of live rats, can I kill and eat them?
Yes. Kill them, press X, select Butcher, 'g'et their meat and stuff, and 'e'at it!
How can you kill them? I thought they were too small to target.
This doesn't really pertain to the release, but why can we only see a portion of our world on the "Q" map? I'm traveling to the mountains on the edge in one of the blacked out tiles, and it doesn't light up or anything when I travel through it...
Your character isn't familiar with the whole world, so they'll only be familiar with a relatively small portion of a big one (usually just a single civilization or a couple close-by ones). As for going to a map square and it still being blacked out, I don't know.
Stupid question, but where the hell do I find food and drink? I haven't found any shops or animals yet, and apart from rivers, I'm stumped.
You can get water from wells, that are in both towns an hamlets: quick-travel gives you a list of structures in the immediate area and "Well" will be marked in blue. Once you've found one, stand next to it with a container (waterskin, bag, barrel), use u to lower and raise it, then either drink directly from the bucket with [e] or fill up a container with
.
Food you can get from stores (which are only in towns, not hamlets; check your map to see which you're in). I don't know why you can't find any animal, it's probably just the area you're in. I've found that on the outskirts of towns you can find plenty of the same animals that are around town (like turkeys), but wild, so you're free to kill and eat them. Remember, if the things say "tamed" and don't run away when they spot you, don't attack them. That means the townspeople own them, and will become hostile if you try.
I was thinking of making a misc object user demigod who, instead of learning the secrets of life and death from artifact slabs, just hits people in the face with them. Would a slab make a decent weapon? Is misc object user a viable alternative to hitting things in the face with a hammer? Also, has anyone tested if necromancer dwarf adventurers that are retired in a mountain hall can migrate to your fortress?
I'm pretty sure slabs are stationary objects that you can't. Yes, miscellaneous object users can get by, but they are generally disadvantaged to actual weapon users because the quality of their "weapons" don't affect how good they are as weapons. On the last one, I'm not even sure if retired adventurers become fortress migrants is in at
all right now.
