Dwarf Fortress v13 - Orkel looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible! - Games

Ok, so I'm just now attempting to use the DF2010 military system. How do I make it so that my dwarves will train with wooden weapons, but fight goblins with real weapons? Or will they do that automatically?

Is there a dump bug? Sometimes when I mass dump rocks, they just ignore quite of bit of the ones that are marked. And no matter if I reclaim and dump again. They just ignore them.

So I sent down the first dwarf ever to the caverns, the only thing they're allowed is a weapon (iron sword in this case) and their clothes of course. I had to search around a bit with the one dwarf (thanks new military system) and found some rutherers. She chased one to a place with some antmen, and then found a downward passage! Caverns have to be the best for live training. [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] Why do my normal dorfs keep running down into the cavern to store shit in stockpiles?

Uh, so i'm at a pop of 85, haven't seen a kobold or goblin yet. So I guess they don't exist in my world..

[QUOTE=Parakon;28200159]Uh, so i'm at a pop of 85, haven't seen a kobold or goblin yet. So I guess they don't exist in my world..[/QUOTE] Same situation, they probably are just far away.

my first cavern ever ended with a troll and a giant cave spider in my fortress at the same time of a goblin siege it did not hold very long

Since the goblins don't want to show up, I melted the humanite I found down and made some weapons. Sent 5 recruits down into the cavern for some antman training! If the goblins don't show up, i'll just fight the other races/the shit under my fortress.

Declare war on Hell.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;28201310]Declare war on Hell.[/QUOTE] Then, simply outlast it.

[QUOTE=Loofiloo;28196791]Who wants a dwarf named after them in my fort? I can't guarantee that you'll get any specific job or that you'll be male.[/QUOTE] I would like to be in your fort. Useless fisherdwarf AKA draftee, please.

I would also like to be a dwarf. One that makes plenty of battleaxes.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;28196938]Make me a woodcutter, if you can[/QUOTE] I named you after the dwarf who is currently possessed. He claimed a clothier's workshop and gathered 2 alpaca wool, sheep wool, 2 pine logs, diorite, black pyropes, 2 turkey leather, and a rough milk quartzes. Hopefully it's gonna be something awesome. Turns out it's an alpaca wool chausse. What the hell is that Worth 38,200 dorfbux. It has an image of Urvad, the deity of boundaries as an unnaturally contorted female dwarf in sheep wool. Also has images of clouds in sheep wool and thick crescents in diorite. All the other stuff was used for encrusting, encircling bands, and of course, menacing spikes.

I will be dwarf. Give me a role where I am likely to die gloriously.

Well shit. A goblin siege just happened, and I was grossly unprepared for it. They didn't even try ambushing me first. My only warning was a child-snatcher about a year ago, before we even had any children. Anyway, we killed about 10 goblins, and lost 12 dwarves. Chezhead is dead now, and many more are in the hospital. The shitty thing is that most of those 12 dwarves were not in the military. My military consisted of 5 barely-trained speardwarves with little to no armor and copper spears (since that's the only metal I have access to in decent amounts). I had to draft a whole bunch of dwarves, but several bystanders got killed because the goblins were able to get so far. I now need a much bigger military and a lot of traps. On the bright side, I don't think anyone's unhappy enough to tantrum, and now I get to see how a dwarven hospital works. [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] If my fuckin lazy-ass chief medical dwarf would stop drinking and sleeping and actually GO DIAGNOSE PATIENTS [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] Ok quick, how do I actually make the chief medical dwarf diagnose patients? There's like 10 of them waiting in the hospital zone, lots of beds, cabinets, tables, traction benches... He had diagnosis enabled as one of his jobs, but instead of actually going to help the wounded, he just has "no job" What more do I have to do? [editline]22nd February 2011[/editline] Never mind, he's doing it now.

If ore is fucked up why not just use tried and true ressledorfs?

Ah, good old .40d, where getting rid of useless dwarfs is an easy as sending them next to a river full of carp. Also, apparently my dwarves can't dig any more. My mining dwarves seem alive, though, and labor is enabled.

I wonder if someone actually could manage to train a large superhuman army with some defences and defeat hell in dwarfmode. [QUOTE=Nitrowing;28202869]I will be dwarf. Give me a role where I am likely to die gloriously.[/QUOTE] You will be a fisherman. Why are you attempting to wrestle that carp? Well you're drowned now.

[QUOTE=Falchion;28204737] You will be a fisherman. Why are you attempting to wrestle that carp? Well you're drowned now.[/QUOTE] You just need enough Lava/Water/Carp.

[QUOTE=Loofiloo;28196791]Who wants a dwarf named after them in my fort? I can't guarantee that you'll get any specific job or that you'll be male.[/QUOTE] Can I get a fisherdwarf? I have first hand experience at the damage they can do to anything that attacks them.

[QUOTE=Haxxer;28207669]I know, but 150 of them?[/QUOTE] once again, I'll state that ITS 150 UNITS PER BAR

That sounds like a pretty good biome actually, especially if it has a magma source.
