Dwarf Fortress 2010 Edition - YES IT'S OUT! - Games

Woodcutter was getting chased by a werewolf, I drafted him and set him to attack wild animals. He sliced it's head off in 5 seconds :v: (PS: This is the save where I have speed set to 100, purely due to the fact that I'm using a super crappy computer which, if I set it to normal, everyone would walk like they're carrying a platinum nugget, the calculations are fine though.)

[QUOTE=Shuzup;20929499]I know tilesets are usually frowned upon here, but I'm looking for one that isn't as cartoony as mayday's. Can anyone give me a link to one?[/QUOTE] I'd recommend Dystopian Rhetoric, it's enough to understand what the hell is going on, but it's vague enough as to let you use your imagination. Plus it doesn't cover every single creature, so at least it teaches you the symbols of, say, 10 creatures (better then 0 IMO.)

[QUOTE=Teh Soviet;20930972]The valley area my dwarves inhabit isn't reachable my the traders because it's on a mountain, so I made a long tunnel reaching out into the open world. Where should I build the depot? The tunnel is 3 tiles wide. [editline]03:51AM[/editline] Wow, my miner is like superman. He's "unbelievably agile, very strong, touch, high master farmer" and many others. What a badass. Plus the crippled cat is his pet.[/QUOTE] Find a place that would be easy to have things hauled from your stockpiles and a place where the caravan guards can protect the fortress.

Guys, is it possible to turn on combat logs in fortress mode? And also, my wrestlers killed a kobold, how do i take his copper dagger?

[QUOTE=Teh Soviet;20931344]Guys, is it possible to turn on combat logs in fortress mode? And also, my wrestlers killed a kobold, how do i take his copper dagger?[/QUOTE] For the first question, no. For the second one, it's automatic if you have a weapons stockpile.

Sorry 'bout the questions ;P How do I assign an architect.

[QUOTE=Teh Soviet;20931482]Sorry 'bout the questions ;P How do I assign an architect.[/QUOTE] Press u, then find the dwarf you want the labor activated for (or v if you have the person on screen, then just hover over them) Then press p, then press l. Scroll to the labor "Architecture" and press enter. SO u+p+l+scroll to Architecture.

There's no option for p in the unit list :P [editline]05:02AM[/editline] Well, I've had enough for today lmfao.

press v instead of u and find the guy you want

Starting to get bored of this fortress, despite it having lasted for five years. Dunno if I should abandon it or wait for a Goblin Siege to finally overwhelm it. I wanna' try to learn Adventure Mode.

[QUOTE=Orkel;20926642]It's a super-detailed RTS/roguelike hybrid sandbox fort simulation game, obviously it seems a bit ridiculous at first glance.[/QUOTE] I just tell my friends it's a dwarf simulator

Still don't know if it's a good idea to abandon 6 in-game years of work to play Adventure Mode. My fortress is snazzy, but most of my Demons spend their time gathering shit from the last two seiges, getting interrupted by the multitude of skeletal wildlife, or doing nothing. It's getting irritating. :colbert: [editline]01:54AM[/editline] Just started Adventurer Mode. Holy shit, I had my Tentacle Demon wrestle a donkey. He grabbed it by the head, bit it, tore out a chunk of it's brain and then tore its head off! :byodood:

[QUOTE=atomicthumbs;20932208]I just tell my friends it's a dwarf simulator[/QUOTE] It's Fantasy simulator as the Today (DF creator) calls it.

Lost a huge chunk of my fortress due to flood, playing in aquifers is a great challenge (you are guaranteed to lose) :D

ARGH Why when you bring along loads of leather or blocks and shit do you not get them in BINS. Bloody hell, they put the food in barrels and the seeds in free bags. My first entire year and a hlaf is stockpiling :(

Just started a new fortress and found 6 females and one male... Did I unlock the Harem medal or something? lol

[QUOTE=kayOkay;20933642]Just started a new fortress and found 6 females and one male... Did I unlock the Harem medal or something? lol[/QUOTE] Seal the fortress and start a grand lineage of this male fellow. All male children should be executed promptly.

[QUOTE=johnlukeg;20933683]Seal the fortress and start a grand lineage of this male fellow. All male children should be executed promptly.[/QUOTE] No, they should be put in an eternal arena. When the original dies in 100 years, the strongest will take his place, with eons of training and perfection to continue the line.

Yeah, that's better. Plus it makes for an entertaining place to dump captured goblins and other unfriendly critters.

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/NEVERENDINGFORRRRRTREEEEEES.png[/img] FORTRESS MOOD MUSIC (ALSO FUCKING AWESOME):[url]http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/209540[/url] Turn around Look at what you see.... In the stone The mirror of our dreams.... Make mountains our new home Given in the earth Written on the pages Is the answer to a never ending fortress... In short, everyone over 20 years old just fucking super-nostalgia'd. My newest, and last attempt at a grand story driven fortress before what we hope is the imminent release of DF2010. We will watch the story of a fortress starting in the dying world of the Pages of Myth. Nearly 1000 years have passed since this land came to be, Humans and halflings live in scattered towns. Elves are extinct, and Dwarves Huddle in two remaining strongholds. Orcs and Goblins roam the landscape freely, having their way with any unarmed they come across. Can a fortress of simple means survive in such a barren world? We will watch through the eyes of a young Child Physicist (Mechanic) Bastian Freeman. (Read the photo name for remarks.) [img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/YesIwentthere.png[/img] Here is our wonderful hollow, where the fortress of Moonchild the Ageless Fortification (Hurr I'm so witty) shall rise or fall as history shall witness. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Location2.png[/img] What shall become of these brave souls? WHO KNOWS. Also if you're going to be an idiot and ask why Jesus is in the Pic, the answer is and always will be : "He's Jesus, lol."

Can I be a dwarf? :3:
