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

So, my most recent fortress (which was on a perfectly flat glacier) was going fairly well, there was no water, but no shortage of booze either. I had even built a tower to the top of the map (only 15 z-levels above the floor, but oh well). Then I breached the first cavern layer. Looking around, I saw nothing untill a pack of 'elk birds' (which I'm guessing are new to this version) came out of no-where and fucked people's shit up. While this drama was going on, i hadn't noticed that my booze stockpiles had run out. This started of a rapid succesion of deaths to thirst, elk birds and fisticuffs with legendary miners that hasn't stopped yet. I wonder how this is going to end. [editline] [/editline] Some migrants arrived just as my last miner went berserk. Goody. [editline] [/editline] and now a forgotten beast appeared just to rub salt in the wound. "The forgotten beast Sifinia Ocilerine Mefayoaditha has come! A gigantic skinless iguana. It has wings and a bloated body. Beware it's poisonous bite!" Oh joy. I mean, i expected this fortress to end horribly, but not this horribly.

Elk birds are old. And annoying as hell.

Welp, I decided that I'd had enough of that forgotten beast, so I brought my entire fortress down on it's head. It also killed everyone else in the fortress, but it was totally worth it. Didn't breach further than the 2nd cavern layer, sadly.

I have one of these in my fort: [img]http://i52.tinypic.com/2lcw590.png[/img] He can't actually get into my fortress, but from time to time he wanders near the stairwell and frightens masses of dwarves into cancelling whatever job they're doing. Kind of annoying. I'm 99% sure my military wouldn't be able to kill him, so maybe causing a cave-in on top of him is the best idea. I dunno though, would a zinc monster be killed by a cave-in? Seems really really formidable.

why can't i start a new fortress? i don't have the option to start a new one, just continue playing and create new world.

[QUOTE=Kylel999;28264275]You can only have 1 fortress or adventurer per world at a time.[/QUOTE] so if i make another world, can i make more fortresses?

[QUOTE=Shortyish;28264356]so if i make another world, can i make more fortresses?[/QUOTE] yes

Looks like the only metal I have is platinum So my army will consist entirely out of platinum wielding hammerdorfs and war geese.

[QUOTE=Shortyish;28264356]so if i make another world, can i make more fortresses?[/QUOTE] And if your fortress falls, you can visit it in Adventure Mode. Always fun to do if you have adamantine shit in there. Always.

I visited a temple in adventure mode that worshipped muck. In other words, excrement.

My adventurer refused to drink from their holy well and commented "No, that's disgusting". Yeah I know it's the same with every murky pool but it was still strangely fitting.

-snip- the colossus's corpse is now diamonds.

DF needs a tabacco industry.

[QUOTE=Tacosheller;28246565]I'm just starting out on DF and I have no idea what's going on. Is there an up-to-date tutorial I can use?[/QUOTE] Anyone?

The one on the wiki's good enough to get you started. i recomend dicking around in adventurer mode first however. Just tested a slade colossus in arena mode, and everything it lands a hit on goes flying like they just joined team rocket or something. I wish I could figure out how to play as them in adventurer mode.

There's a good tutorial for the new DF, CapnDuck's (or something similar) on Youtube, search on there.

heres a good tutorial [url]http://www.archive.org/details/Dwarf_Fortress_Video_Tutorials[/url] [editline]25th February 2011[/editline] just realised the tutorial is really outdated and half of the stuff in it has changed

God I wish this had some form of multiplayer gameplay. Would be so fun to play with friends. [editline]26th February 2011[/editline] Alright guys, what's something interesting I can do? Give me a good idea for starting a fortress.

In the new version. No cheats. Final Destination.

The dining room's floor MUST be platinum. No exceptions, mister.

Something possible. :|
