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

He is missing his left ear.

What the hell? :v: How much shit do I need to export to get Dwarven Economy? I've read the wiki but it just confused me.

Ok, lets see, I'm on my third fortress now. The first one everybody died because of the lack of food (I forgot to make a food stockpile. :saddowns:) and the second one everybody died from thirst. I wonder what will happen next..

You really need to start in a location with water. No water sucks anyways because your military dwarves will die of thirst when they're injured, which is horrible if they're sustaining medium injuries in training.

So hopefully I'll be good. But my question is, can the dwarves travel to the river for water if they need to?

Simply mine out an area of soil (underground, since the seeds you can embark with will NOT grow aboveground)" That makes no sence at all.

Dig a channel from the river to your fort so they don't need to walk all the way

I am a rather stupid fellow who can't do things right most of the time (in just about any situation), so I am predicting that I will then flood the entire thing. :v:

Oh shit 21 imigrants in the first wave.

Lucky. I haven't got any in 5 years.

My first wave in this fortress was 25. Good though, as it was in Spring of year 2.

[QUOTE=war_man333;16480388]What the hell? :v: How much shit do I need to export to get Dwarven Economy? I've read the wiki but it just confused me.[/QUOTE] You need to have exported *10,000 wealth (you can see how much you have exported from the status screen). Once you have exported that much wealth you will need to do any 4 of the following in 1 year (choice of 6) [list][*]25 crafting jobs, (make lots of crafts, you are probably making them in the 100s per year anyway) [*]25 metal-related jobs, (arm your solders, and items for the new Barron, crafts for export if you want.) [*]25 wood-related jobs, (more beds? siege ammo? i don't know if burning count here or in metal if at all) [*]10 gem jobs, (cut gems, encrust with gems, use raw glass if you are short on real gems.) [*]25 stone jobs, (anything done at the masons workshop) [*]25 food jobs (brewing, cooking and i think butchering all count) [/list] I have tried to list some easy activity's to achieve most of these, but it is very easy to do without trying. Just remember invaders junk does not raise your exported wealth count.

I started kind of an odd game just recently, Trying to make a completely above ground fortress except for the farm of course...so..Here is a picture, from the visualiser... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/Craftman/untitled.jpg[/img] okay, description, The red building with the fortifications on it is the barracks, The black building is currenlty unused..thinking of making it food storage, the in progress yellow building is my wood storage, the In progress wood building on the right side is the refuse storage, and the three little wood buildings and partialy constructed ones as well on the far side is the workshops.

I basically listen to Rush's [I]A Farewell to Kings[/I] while playing this game. The entire album. What do you guys listen to

I want a link to that song Orkel linked about 2 threads ago. It was dancing medieval style German viking dudes, and it was great.

I never understood these games. Am I missing much?

I'm thinking of maybe making some sort of Sovjet dwarf fort. With all the dwarves being equal, nobles too :v:
