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

[QUOTE=Orkel;16544919]You've never protected your woodcutters before? During my annual wood-chopping time when my entire fort is either hauling wood or chopping them down I have my entire military on watch.[/QUOTE] :( no, I usually let everybody do their own thing and then when goblins attack my horrified woodcutters I watch them get chopped to bits while my sparring military rushes through hallways to get to the goblins :P.

[QUOTE=coilgunner;16544976]:( no, I usually let everybody do their own thing and then when goblins attack my horrified woodcutters I watch them get chopped to bits while my sparring military rushes through hallways to get to the goblins :P.[/QUOTE] Aw, that sucks :buddy: It's a must to have the military guarding the area when there's a huge line of 200 dwarves walking to and from the woodcutting area though. It's practically the only time that a well-defended aboveground fort is vulnerable to an attack.

Hey guys, quick question here. I just embarked near a location of dreams. Although there are swallowmen, batmen and all those other crap-people :shakefist: Can I somehow block off the bottomless pit so no creatures will get inside my fort and still be able to dump stuff? I was thinking about building a floor over the entire hole one z-level above, and then use the lowest level for dumping, is that a good idea? I really want to avoid the real "fun" stuff :v:

[QUOTE=Nenghis;16541754]That did indeed happen with my project :v: Alright guys, I'm making an arena in my fort. Any tips?[/QUOTE] Have everything ready in case you are putting an enemy in the arena and something goes wrong. Then again there's no fun in that :v:

[IMG]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6535/groupswp.png[/IMG] This is my small warband. Led by Usasp Kusmkeuspuk, demon Merc. Then theres Iki Moweaku, demon recruit. Utes Sneloosta, goblin axeman. And Mas Illudocda, human crossbow(wo)man. Maybe I should hire a few more demons.

K I wanna close up my fortress (I have a good wall and a drawbridge) how do I get all of my asshole dwarfs in my fort? Is there a command I can use to get them to one spot?

Press [o] and set it so dwarves arent allowed outside, then restrict any subsequent areas you don't want them near. If there's any stragglers that are too retarded to follow the command, draft them into the military (causing unhappy thoughts unfortunatly) and manually move them.

I usually train my woodcutters into axedwarves. Once I had a legendary axedwarf disguised as a woodcutter, and he single handedly raped a goblin ambush.

A single Goblin ambush could probably rape my entire fortress. What happends when all your dwarves die? Game over screen I assume, whenever I've been close to losing all my dwarves I get more migrants.

As far as I know it's not possible to civilianize champs.

how can you build a house outside?

[QUOTE=KestasLT;16564747]how can you build a house outside?[/QUOTE] b>C>w for walls. Leave a space for a door and you have a house.

[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;16564918]b>C>w for walls. Leave a space for a door and you have a house.[/QUOTE] A house thats marked as outside. How can you build a roof?

[QUOTE=KestasLT;16565379]A house thats marked as outside. How can you build a roof?[/QUOTE] Build a ramp next to a wall, build floor, remove the ramp.

[QUOTE=Suicide Requiem;16565517]Build a ramp next to a wall, build floor, remove the ramp.[/QUOTE] Thanks. Anyways, i embarked in a human town, and got all of my dwarves in to their houses, those fucks don't even care :v: The next thing i'm gonna do is use up all their food.

My traps killed two goblins and I didn't even know, just 2 random corpses in my refuse. [b]Edit:[/b] Migrants yay!, oh there useless. Well atleast one is a marksdwarf, I just don't have anywhere to make bolts. Guess I could use a few of these bones.

They were probably thieves

Lol I caged 10 of like 15 goblins. Stupid Goblins. Time for some labyrinth games, winners get released :v:

OH FUCK. one of my dwarves went beserk and killed a human child. And i'm in a human city. :uhoh:

They don't even eat food. Oh and set up some traps. And get your army ready.

I just embarked on a goblin tower :v: They aren't even hostile, so I'm now digging a huge hole underneath the tower to make it collapse :v:

[QUOTE=Nenghis;16568339]I just embarked on a goblin tower :v: They aren't even hostile, so I'm now digging a huge hole underneath the tower to make it collapse :v:[/QUOTE] I tried that earlier, dig the hole deep before you collapse it. Also playing as humans is fun but very hard, your busy building housing then you find yourself out of food, out of drinks and out of seeds. So far I built a walled area, a barraks, a wooden apartment complex and starting on a stone one after I reclaimed. When I reclaimed I got the farm up quickly so I don't die like last time even though I brought 300 food and 600 booze.
