Dwarf Fortress - Mom, why are those Elves eating each other? - Games

Speaking of adventure mode, is there a mod that would let you play like a super tough adventurer so you could just go and slaughter shit? (yeah I did cheat engine the game to give my adventurer all legendary skills but it turns out even he is very much killable).

Wow. I've never used Remove Constructions before. It takes FOREVER to remove floors.

Could an aboveground builder tell me what they usually do? I'm an avid underground builder, only experienced in above ground defenses, but I'm sort of clueless organising my buildings above ground.

Not good, my tiny pond has run out of water, doesn't seem like my dwarves want to drink beer, either that or I don't have any of that either, there is no water source nerby it seems.. am I doomed?

Dwarves always prefer alcohol over regular water, you must not be brewing it.

I'm bored, finally got a quest to kill a giant, by the time I found it he bled to death from a spearman.

Will murky water become clean if you connect it to a river?

Murky pool is a tile that goes under water. It's a tile that refills when hit by rain and causes unhappy thoughts when drank from. Building a well is essentially like using a water filter so it doesn't matter. [editline]10:36PM[/editline] Having some fun designing this arena at the moment.

What the heck, all my miners just dropped their picks and refuse to mine. On a side note, I think I made a pretty much impenetrable fortress so far. I got the channels to work; I just need to add some traps in the entrance hallway and link the pressure plates to my bridges. Well, finish the walls, too. [img]http://gamerev.kiristar.com/RapeFortress2.PNG[/img] If anything comes flying in, all my soldiers have crosssbows.

Wow, that's impressive. 3x the size of the fortress I tried to make.

And you're going to place the trade depot outside the fortress?

[QUOTE=doomsniper;16448420]And you're going to place the trade depot outside the fortress?[/QUOTE] It's underground on the first floor down. All I really need to do is add a 3-wide bridge and pressure plates somewhere and caravans should be able to get in just fine. EDIT: My MAIN fortress is below ground. I'm adding a second portion on the ground for a couple reasons: making high-quality things, and so there will be more dwarves up there at any time, whom I can just draft into the military if there's a threat. I also messed up my underground housing on accident, so I'm gonna make a hotel somewhere on the surface once some more immigrants come.

Oh, don't forget to tag your walls for fortifications. You'll want your xbowmen to be able to shoot outside the walls. Yay, king :smug:

[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;16448563]Oh, don't forget to tag your walls for fortifications.[/QUOTE] This. I remember I once lost one of my earliest fortresses because I forgot to make fortifications and I got butt-fucked by a goblin raid.

Hahahaha, I lol'd at your edit line.

Just reformated. Forgot to backup my DF folder, I guess I'll start again. Any ideas on a theme?

Aboveground, Hermit, Megaproject, Chasm Fort. Should give you a couple of ideas.

[QUOTE=Thorny;16449624]Aboveground, Hermit, Megaproject, Chasm Fort. Should give you a couple of ideas.[/QUOTE] Ok, I'll take aboveground and chasm fort. above ground castle features (walls, towers, kill slots, centered around a keep) focused in the desert around a bottomless pit or chasm playing as humans orc mod Let's see what happens.

Sounds good - make it look as beautiful as you can - an oasis in the desert kind of thing.

Okay, I'm watching tutorials on youtube on how to do this so I'm going to give it a shot. Let's see how it goes.

FUCKING INCREDIBLE GUYS CHECK THIS SHIT OUT. [IMG]http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4708/incredible.png[/IMG] There goes an hour wasted of planning and finding a spot. Fuck shit. ALT F4 RESTART

How do I take seeds from my stockpile barrel and plant them?

What the fuck, Carp dragged my Dwarfs into the River and killed them all. What the hell?

[QUOTE=Thorny;16450677]Welcome to Dwarf Fortress... May I take your coat?[/QUOTE] For some reason I found this funny, I think the fact that someone is sitting down in there coat then a gentlmen is like "May I take your coat?" after playing Dwarf Fortress for a few minutes.
