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

Lets get a succession story going on. If you want to be part of it, PM me so I can make a lil list. I'll probably make a new thread for it. It helps if you know how to play, doesn't matter if you're good or not, but don't apply if you haven't made a few forts in the past.

Make a Facepunch equivalent of Boatmurdered! [editline]02:12PM[/editline] Oh, and don't stop them from playing if they only know the basics. Losing is fun!

Losing is fun![/QUOTE] Yeah I know, but what I mean is, if you have no idea how to control the Military, create a well, deal with nobles etc, then that's not going to work out well. If you've made a fort up until a siege in the past you're fine.

I suggest two things: 1) Make a new thread for this 2) Make sure you choose a site that's both playable and interesting. May take a few map generations? I think we should aim to get a Magma Pool, River (For carpz) and some hazardous wildlife in the map.

Make an underwater glass fort, all walls and floors must be glass.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;16151871]Carps aren't that bad. Their strength comes from their living environment, since dwarves rarely survive in deep water. Flying carps or walking carps will be no worse than, say, goblins.[/QUOTE] This is true. But these carps are amphibious. Land or sea, they will bite you and drag you back into Poseidon's Hell. [QUOTE=Gentoro;16152003]We'll see about that. Somebody test this for me please.

See, my land carp have evolved into sentient beings. Only the run of the mill dwarf gets killed by a Fly Carp, but a whole fortress can get slaughtered by a siege of Land Carps. [editline]09:54AM[/editline] These creatures will also need testing, to see how they can evolve even more and be even more terrifying. If anyone of you are brave enough, PM me, and I will give you these creatures.

[QUOTE=dedo678;16150128]How do I get rid of all the rocks from when I mine. I've got limestone coming out the ass, can I destroy them?[/QUOTE] You could dump them into magma or a chasm/bottomless pit, or crush them with a bridge. Or you could use a single tile dump and have them all placed there. It's cheating but meh.

New Entry from Paintedmartyr, "Where is the damn ore! We found dolomite, fine and dandy if we want steel..but ...We don't have any iron, we need iron ore to make iron and therefore to make steel, but WHERE IS THE Damned iron! All we keep finding is Talc Talc talc talc TALC, We don't need any more damned talc! We have so much talc we can't even use it fast enough, we are making workshops, doors, chairs, tables, You name it we are making it out of damn TALC...." this is now the FOURTH time Ihave struck talc X_X [editline]02:50PM[/editline] make that five times [editline]02:54PM[/editline] Rappidly scrawled entry of Paintedmartyr "I KNEW WE WERE DOOMED! We can't defend this place with talk and before even a year has gone by a seige is uppon us, the damned orcs are comming to destroy us as we also decend on our expedition leader, he SAID there would be VALUBLE ORES here, and all we find is a little bit of dolomite, that we CANT USE, and then TONS OF TALC..... They are trying to build a wall to stop the orcs before they arive but I myself am going to enjoy beating the living hel out of our leader until they come kill me....They say the wall is complete, but out mason is stuck outside..well stupid him I guess.." Slightly calmer entry, "It seems the wall is keeping the horrible orcs outside..though we have lost our mason to them, we heard him scream a battle cry and then promtly it was cut off...well that didn't take long...now we are trapped inside our own nfortress..trying to find iron and keep our food supplies going...just hope we don't run out of drink.."

Build a load of farms and seal yourself in by any means possible.

Why is it I only seem to get immigrants every five or something years?

You should "launch" that sky battle ship when you're finished. :D Or better yet, set up a system so you can do just that should the fortress begin to collapse in a massive tantrum spiral. Also, will supports stay up if they are exposed to A) an alcohol explosion or B) magma? I wish to know for a "dwarven spaceship" I plan to build. :D

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;16155560]Why is it I only seem to get immigrants every five or something years?[/QUOTE] Immigrations are related to your fortress wealth and number of deaths. You generally want a lot of wealth and not a lot of deaths for immigrants to come.

Operation green glass pyramid tomb is a GO :buddy:

Does building close to a road or city increase the immigrants you get?

[QUOTE=dedo678;16150128]How do I get rid of all the rocks from when I mine. I've got limestone coming out the ass, can I destroy them?[/QUOTE] I usually dig a 1 tile channel in my workshop area, designate the tiles touching the hole as garbage dumps, then dig some stairs down to the channel, and mark all the excess stone for dumping, then once its all been dumped in the hole (it can all be stored in a 1x1 tile) I reclaim it so my masons have quick access to whatever stone they need.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;16155710]Does building close to a road or city increase the immigrants you get?[/QUOTE] No. Immigrants are based on the fortresses wealth, and number of deaths. Roads don't really do that much, they are mainly there for wagons, as they stop trees from growing, so you can always preserve a 3-tile wide path to the trade depot.

Gonna start an epic Fort up now. Should I log it and post the stories here? I'd write from the view of my mayor, and, when I get him, my lead warrior :D If you all want me to do it, i'll do it :p I'll take pictures too.

Yet another Paintedmartyr entry... "We have no way to leave our fortress, however we have gotten a bit..ingenious to keep us from suffering cave adaptation, as we have dug out one of the nearby ponds, so now we have a meeting area, and a relaxing area where we can have some nice sun or moonlight, and luckly the orcs have no ranged weapons, so they can't attack us, and the walls are too steep for them to climb down to us." "Our metal smith, since we have no iron..just..god forsaken Talc....has decided to become our new mason, at least untill we can think of some way to get rid of the orcs holding us hostage in our own fortress so we can get some new imigrants....so for now, since we don't need much else..he has begun smoothing the stone for the bedrooms, barracks, dining hall..and just because...apparently the store rooms for food as well...and speaking of Talc, we just hit ANOTHER vein of the god forsaken stuff...mabye we should try another level down....we will once the exploritory mining of this level is complete." "Seems our woodcutter decided to try to take up stone and bone carving...as well as farming...to help keep us with enough..plump helmets to survive.....well..at least it's food..."

There's nothing funnier watching locked-out immigrants fishing with their bare hands and hunting for vermin just to stay alive. [editline]12:01PM[/editline] Ahahaha a pack of Zombie Rhesus Macaques are tormenting them now.

The animals on this are so intelligent it's funny. So entertaining to change the meeting hall just to see them scurry off down the corridor on their own.

Yet another entry..of the hell hole that seems to be named Paintedmartyr "This is starting to get a tad depressing..spring arrived..that was the only good thing that has happened so far....we keep finding this..forsaken talc that seems to be everywhere here..that or dolomite, and dolomite is useless without some sort of iron ore to mix it with to make steel....we hear more orcs comming in the distance when we rest in our...meeting area that used to be a pond....and wonder why there are so many of them in the damn area...this area was called "Sweet and Serene, Nothing should ever bother us here." but whoever said that must of been some sort of maniac...."

terrorclaw, what is up with your grammar? Sometimes you'll capitalize a letter after a , and other times you won't. You also spell words differently each time :x Also, stop mentioning the talc, it's getting annoying! Your mood drifts over to me and I become annoyed as well :x Gonna start a fort up now. Wewt.

Ahahaha. As soon as the first wave of migrants all went mad and started dying, a second wave came. Get to have even more fun. [editline]12:37PM[/editline] Wow. My Gem Cutter got enraged and attacked a Zombie Elk. Needless to say, he got his upper body broken. Then he went stark raving mad, and was able to throw himself into a dried-up, murky pool. Props to him. [editline]12:43PM[/editline] The Fisherdwarf had to eat his own cat to stay alive.

has anyone tried any of these yet? [url]http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Challenges#Minimalist.2FSurvivalist_build[/url] some look intersting.

I decided to back up the save and pause the logs, I wanted to try something for the heck of it, I just made all my dwarves military, and I am going to have them start training, untill I get some champions, then I will remove the wall keeping the orcs out and see what happens XD

Wtf just happened? All of my workers just got interrupted by a "Rhesus Macaque" and stopped doing everything I told them to do. Weird thing is, I looked at the units list and found no such person...? [editline]06:29PM[/editline] nvm, it's a monkey.

LOL I have three elite wrestlers, and some migrants just arrived XD Sending the eight Conscripst...I mean migrants...to deal with the orcs >.> well to wait at the entrence of my fort untill my elite wrestles are ready... [editline]05:52PM[/editline] ...the seige left...ookay then
