I did manage to remove a gear assembly though, so crisis averted. Phew.

I'm going to make that site, just give me a few days to get it together.

[QUOTE=Seiteki;28911544]Generating a world on my netbook. 0 fps.[/QUOTE] I hope I'm not the only one to screw around in worldgen just to see what gets created and browse Legends mode to read about the terrible beasts and disaster that has befallen the world.

I figured out how to actually tell my dwarves to do stuff in class. Now I'm enjoying myself.

Alright found my first underground cave. Uhh what the hell do I do now? Send the military?

[QUOTE=Loofiloo;28912879]Seal it up and pretend it doesn't exist. forgotten beasts.... :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] With all the dwarves I got, I'm going to go into mass production and pump out iron armours and weapons (it's time I put those 5 metal forges to work), then I'll draft into the military around 30-40 dwarves. Once they are all armed, I'll swarm that cave and slaughter anything inside. Then 20 or something will die and everyone will be tantruming but I don't give a fuck. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] Going to check if there is something in there first though, don't want to do all that to then find a scared hoary marmot in a corner, alone.

Are you fucking kidding me? I station a few marksdwarves on a tower and what do the fuckers do? Oh half of them station [B]around[/B] the tower (on the outside) and get slaughtered by Goblins. If I terminate the process through task manager DF won't save right? I don't give a fuck if it's cheating, I wouldn't do this if the game functioned normally, but instead it decided to fuck up and move my dwarves somewhere I did not tell them to move.

They can't get in unless I let them in (except three on flying mounts, but I should be able to handle those), and there are merchants in my trading depot so I should be able to do this (if anything goes bad I can just set the fortress to lockdown and wait until they go away, it's 100% self-sustaining).

[QUOTE=Orkel;28913908]And that's why you lock your doors when stationing marksdwarves.[/QUOTE] Well i really didn't expect them to go all the way through the entire fortress, past the bridge then up the hill to get around the tower (as there is no door on the tower, it's accessed from underground). Yeah I'll definitely put some doors at the entrance now, that way I'll lock them and the dumb dwarves won't be able to do idiotic things.

[QUOTE=Orkel;28909202]Mediatagged images still get loaded, they're just not visible.[/QUOTE] Well that's just badly designed then

Well the booze exploded and now the mad Axedwarf is on fire running around and setting everyone on fire exploding more booze and the dwarves on fire run around setting more things on fire and the cats and dogs are on fire and the woodworker sealed himself in the door and went loco, while being on fire. Oh and a siege too, nice sight for the goblins to see flaming dwarves running out of the fort screaming chased by a raving mad flaming elite axedwarf with one of his arms and eyes missing.

Oh god now the axedwarf is slaughtering the goblins and their marksmen can't even hit him. HE IS STILL ON FIRE

Goblin siege ends when they all flee in terror.

[QUOTE=MendozaMan;28914101]Oh god now the axedwarf is slaughtering the goblins and their marksmen can't even hit him. HE IS STILL ON FIRE[/QUOTE] This is why DF is the best game in the history of history.

If I station the dwarves right behind the fortifications, half run out and get slaughtered, if I don't, they won't fire out of them. Toady really should implement a station order that allows you to specify the exact tile each squad member is to station on.

Well this is a weird situation. My fort is dying from all the fires but the siege outside is being fought by one dwarf with elite gear and a legendary bronze axe. He now has an arm, an eye and an ear missing, there is an arrow stuck in his chest and foot, a crossbow bolt stuck in his lower back and upper back, a dagger stuck in his upper torso. He is covered head to toes in goblin blood and is as of still, on fire and killing goblins one by one.

Well looks like there where a ton more goblins than expected, 21 to be exact, and that's without counting their mounts (90% are mounted).

He must be honored for his heroism and insanity.
