One of my dwarves is in a secretive mood, but she's just standing around doing nothing. Just standing around. Outside. In the rain. Just being a hooplehead and getting soaked to the bone. Yeah, that's my fortress for you.

Missed the first caravan cause i was too busy fuckassing around with farms. Luckly just before it left the map the donkey went beserk and the swordsdwarf killed it. Got a bunch of free shit :buddy:

Haha oh wow. My milker just got possessed and made a turkey bone short sword (with like 6-7 other components). First of all, the sword is called "Bustflash" which is a hilarious name. Clearly this dwarf likes him some boobs. Also, there is an image on the sword in cat's eye that relates to a drowning fisherdwarf who still hasn't been properly memorialized. I need to give this dwarf a nickname for making such an awesome artifact. What should it be?

How can I tell what workshop she wants? (she died of thirst btw) [QUOTE=Loofiloo;28962340] I need to give this dwarf a nickname for making such an awesome artifact. What should it be?[/QUOTE] [img]http://www.mspaintadventures.com/advimgs/ps/ps025.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=Xera;28962551]Urist Bustflasher[/QUOTE] This would be great if it was a female dwarf, but this instead seems to be the boob-lovin-est male dwarf in the fort. He even works as a milker.

Bony pants with images of industry on it. [img]http://gyazo.com/cb907986b86472b2c85ad3372a351c05.png[/img] Worth about 6k.

Well after 4 years of operation, my fort is finally seeing sieges. There were two of them in really close succession in this year. First one was like "meh here's 14 goblin archers, have fun" and they all just either shot at elf merchants or died in my traps. Wasn't much fun. Then it was like "HERE'S SOME GOBLIN ARCHERS! HERE'S SOME GOBLIN CROSSBOWMEN! HERE'S SOME GOBLIN SPEARMEN! HERE'S A GOBLIN AXELORD! HERE'S A GOBLIN MACELORD! HERE'S A BUNCH OF GODDAMN TROLLS! HAVE FUN MOTHERFUCKER" And a few dwarves did have Fun. LOTS of the animals had Fun, and like 10 dwarves had enough Fun to end up in the hospital. Only 1-2 dwarves had the time of their life though. My pit trap turned out to be not quite deep enough to guarantee a kill, and one of the trolls who fell in the pit tore down the floodgate that sealed up the trap. That was pretty hectic, but my dwarves dealt with it like bosses, because everything that fell in the trap was already wounded by the impact.

Yep, in case anyone was still wondering, constructions like walls, stairs and floors are still fireproof, regardless of the material.

Phew, disaster averted. Was building a danger room, had nearly filled it with traps when I noticed that 3 of the traps has iron spears, not wooden training ones.

It would be pretty awesome if you could use fire arrows and set walls on fire.

Ugh, so many animals. 96 to be precise, and they keep screwing like rabbits.

what is the newest dwarf fortress version with a good tileset? i cant stand playing it in ascii but my version is an alpha one

Ambushes are a fucking nightmare, they never stop coming and always end up killing one or two dwarfs before the military even gets equipped.

[QUOTE=Antary;28964668]It would be pretty awesome if you could use fire arrows and set walls on fire.[/QUOTE] Fire arrows, or also you could order any dwarf to a location on the map and try to set a fire, like you can do in Adventure Mode.

If I divert a river to an undergound zone, can I fish there? Or will I only get that rare fish that happens to take the wrong turn?

[QUOTE=acds;28965161]Ambushes are a fucking nightmare, they never stop coming and always end up killing one or two dwarfs before the military even gets equipped.[/QUOTE] Have a couple good marksdwarves stand on your walls or towers you've built outside to guard your entrance, since that's where the ambushes are usually spotted. [editline]3rd April 2011[/editline] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/795329/Pictures/Dorf/supermayor.PNG[/img] My mayor is practically a superdwarf Not that much of a surprise though, she's one of the original seven and legendary in most fighting related skills, masonry and mining.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;28965185]Have a couple good marksdwarves stand on your walls or towers you've built outside to guard your entrance, since that's where the ambushes are usually spotted.[/QUOTE] Sadly, with all the dwarves running around outside (why the fuck they do that I don't know), the ambushes are usually spotted pretty far away, which means they'll usually have more than enough time to brutalize at least the dwarf that found them. I do have a ton of cage traps around the entrance though in case they do get there.

Oh and her upper body and left lung both have yellow wounds and she goes on without a hitch [editline]3rd April 2011[/editline] Hm, will the dwarven traders get mad if I trade them dwarf leather earrings?

Are there any isometric visualisers that work with the current version of DF?

Game crashed, lost 3 hours of work. Any way to make it autosave?

[QUOTE=acds;28965507]Game crashed, lost 3 hours of work. Any way to make it autosave?[/QUOTE] you can go into the raws and make it so it auto saves yearly/seasonly, but thats as low as it gets i think

data\init\d_init.txt Use these to control the automatic saving behavior in the dwarf fortress mode of game. AUTOSAVE can be set to NONE, SEASONAL or YEARLY. This updates your save at these intervals, so that some of your progress will be saved in case of system instability. You can set AUTOBACKUP to YES if you want the updated save to be copied to another folder so that you'll have several copies of your world at different times. Set AUTOSAVE_PAUSE to YES if you want the game to pause every time it autosaves. [AUTOSAVE:SEASONAL] [AUTOBACKUP:NO] [AUTOSAVE_PAUSE:NO] I use it on seasonal.

I discovered adamantine in the most interesting way, I threw a kitten of the cliff into the volcano, then the kitten kept sinking until I found the magma sea, afterwards it drowned.

[QUOTE=Fergeh;28965358]Are there any isometric visualisers that work with the current version of DF?[/QUOTE] Stonesense works if you replace the default memory.xml with this one: [url]http://stonesense.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Memory.xml[/url]

So, if I assign all my melee dwarves to a specific metal uniform, will they use the best metal available (IE steel), and bronze/copper shit to replace parts they can't find a steel equivalent for?
