[editline]1st March 2011[/editline] Kicked a bunch of my military dwarves in the head, killed almost all of them, game crashed.[/QUOTE] Well, it was made of Bismuthinite.

This time I discovered it couldn't be caught in cage traps and then the human caravan guards killed it. One farmer that was outside of my walls died. :saddowns:

so a dark force has arrived and i am under siege i have semi competent troops with iron weapons and armor but how do i make them defend my fortress? the turorial havent covered that yet

[QUOTE=moffe;28381488]so a dark force has arrived and i am under siege i have semi competent troops with iron weapons and armor but how do i make them defend my fortress? the turorial havent covered that yet[/QUOTE] Move them close to the attackers.

how do i move dwarfs to a specfic position?

You can assign your army dwarves kill orders. Give one. Also how many goblins are there and how many dwarves, iirc there are over a couple of dozen goblins in a siege.

theres around 10-15 goblins and i have 4 millitary dwarves and lots of rangers and hunters [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] the goblins started massacring my kittens that were outside [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] okay so while trying to learn the game almost all my dwarf are getting killed and i loose

I was first going to note that your dwarves are all going to die. But I just answered your question. Edit: [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/uristmcdwarf.png[/IMG] Awesome!

and all the armor and weapons i made is down with the workshops getting dusty

[QUOTE=moffe;28381667] okay so while trying to learn the game almost all my dwarf are getting killed and i loose[/QUOTE] Welcome to Dwarf Fortress.

seems most of my dwarves actually survived thanks to half of them carrying crossbows and having some war dogs [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] theres blood everywhere tho [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] all the dwarfs are throwing tantrums now [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] i have 83 out of houndred dwarfs left

You must attempt to separate and starve the tantruming fuckers before your dwarves will fucking tear eachother into pieces when the spirals kick in. Edit: Also try and keep the remainder of sane, non hurt dwarves really damn happy so they dont take badly on starving their friends even though they would soon go violently insane.

Look at it this way, not only did you get the advantages of having a larger workforce, but now you don't have the hassle of the increased management, lag, and resource drainage, it's a net positive! That's assuming you didn't lose any high skilled forgers (weapons/armor/furniture) which you should protect with the very life of your fortress.

does my fortress has to be a duchy to get a monarch

i really have no idea on how to make dwarves happy etc im watching a tutorial and im not to far into it yet

Engrave rooms. Make quality doors. Make booze.

[QUOTE=moffe;28383117]i really have no idea on how to make dwarves happy etc im watching a tutorial and im not to far into it yet[/QUOTE] make a big dining room with smooth walls and floor and a big sculpture garden with a lot of slabs and statues [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] oh, and i think you should use text tutorial since it's better reading than watching I personally learned from this tutorial [url]http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Bentgirder[/url] it's simple, and it's a mostly complete tutorial about the main basics of the game.

So I got attacked by this big giantess humanoid thing, and my hunter just took it down. I "accidentally" raised my bridge while he was still out hunting. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7856270/1.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7856270/2.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=moffe;28383117]i really have no idea on how to make dwarves happy etc im watching a tutorial and im not to far into it yet[/QUOTE] Your dwarves have profiles which contain things about their mood and preferences, though don't care shit about what invidual dwarves like, all dwarves will love engravings, booze, statue gardens and eating in a *positive prefix* mess hall/sleeping in a *positive prefix* bedroom. Just engrave 'errything and make statues and shit.

My soap maker refuses to make soap. I have lye and tallow, but he says I don't have any lye-containing items. There are BARRELS AND BARRELS of lye in the stockpile RIGHT NEXT TO the soap maker's workshop. I desperately need it because 3 dwarves just got wounded in a goblin invasion

I have started [I]Project Obsidian.[/I] Which is a tunnel going from the brook on level 1 all the way down to level 58 so I can turn magma into obsidian and get adamantine that I can't get to. Maybe some clowns too.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;28392751]Maybe some clowns too.[/QUOTE] Drown the clowns.

how do i heal wounded dwarfs?

make a hospital

I suppose it's time to rejoin this thread, as I just genned a new world and I'm determined to learn the military system this time.

[QUOTE=moffe;28398192]how do i heal wounded dwarfs?[/QUOTE] Look up hospital at the wiki

I suppose megabeasts have been buffed considerably? I did a 1500 year worldgen that would stop with 70% of them dead, but it went till the end.

i have 193 adamantine wafers :rock:
