[QUOTE=Kylel999;20310992]Fucking awesome, 2 [I]years[/I] game-time; all lost. I crashed. :crying:. I finished my epic gate, and started on my ginormous walls, and it crashed before I saved. ;-;[/QUOTE] Oh I was about to feel sorry for you. I thought you were talking about a fortress you have been working on for 2 years. Just restart.

My rooms are 4x5 for each dwarf. Granted I only have 30 dwarfs max...

Good news is, I can prepare for that Kobold ambush now :v: [editline]03:26AM[/editline] [QUOTE=BlueSaint;20314773]My rooms are 4x5 for each dwarf.

Space efficient, looks nice, and dwarves don't mind.
mine are usually 2x3 [editline]05:05AM[/editline] made a new map, 100% savage [editline]05:09AM[/editline] nothing but animals and historical figures, I somehow was able to beat a cougar with skill in nothing, no weapon or armor, THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE [editline]05:11AM[/editline] giant jaguar killed me in one go, this was actually a bad idea.
I wish Dwarf Fortress was coded in a Java applet and you could play and save maps, with multiplayer lobbies. :allears:
Multiplayer in [i]my[/i] Dwarf Fortress!!?? Really multiplayer would be great if they could make a system that would work.
I think a possible, future (far, far, far future) thing was building up your own armies with your dwarves and then sending them to the fortress of another player, and that'd pretty much be the extent of it. Not exactly sure how two people on the same fortress area would work.
I'm considering ditching my current fortress in favor of a new one. This one is functional, but the design is a complete mess. I also need to drop the population cap. I am nowhere near experienced enough to handle such a massive population.
Every time I see this thread, I get a glimmer of hope that the new version was actually finally released, and then I realize what it actually is, and become depressed for a few hours.
Fuckinhell Toady, it's been a fuckin' month, mate. Throw us a goddamn bone, will ya?
Should I be concerned that all of the ponds in the area simultaneously dried out? :byodood:

No, no carp. There's a running stream nearby. Might just dig a channel and divert the water over. This new fort is fantastic. I'm building it in to the side of a volcano. Already finding a lot of different ores and gems. :v:

Nothing quite says fuck off like flooding an area with molten rock. :black101:

Been playing Dwarf Fortress in the States for 2 weeks now, on a laptop. Finally back to my desktop in Denmark. Let's get Dwarfin'. I didn't know [URL=http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Batman]Batman[/URL] was in this game.

[QUOTE=KingQ8;20320462]In the states? On holiday? And you spent it playing Dwarf Fortress? What?[/QUOTE] I only played like 30 minutes a day, I helped my parents buying furniture from Ikea, eating burgers, assembling furniture, eating burgers and sitting in the furniture. And then I ate more burgers and played Dwarf Fortress.

[QUOTE=war_man333;20320598]No beaches in the middle of Florida, but I did go on a cruise.[/QUOTE] Nice, did you like it? Some people prefer being on the open ocean rather than stuck on land :p I don't mind cruises, but I'd lose my mind being on a boat for ages.
[QUOTE=KingQ8;20320640]Nice, did you like it? Some people prefer being on the open ocean rather than stuck on land :p I don't mind cruises, but I'd lose my mind being on a boat for ages.[/QUOTE] There weren't enough DWARVES on the cruise.
[QUOTE=war_man333;20320864]There weren't enough DWARVES on the cruise.[/QUOTE] Dwarves are creatures of the earth, not of water :p Though there must have been short, stunted little people on the cruise :D
Downloaded this last night to give it a shot. Confusing as fuck.
[QUOTE=PD-Stalker;20320894]Downloaded this last night to give it a shot. Confusing as fuck.[/QUOTE] Give it time, use 'k' a lot, ask questions and look on the wiki. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/River-Battle.png[/img] The River Battle of Ages. 8 of my men died here, only half of them were military, and 2 of those were Champions. 1 Axedwarf drowned. It was in an underground river, FULL of diverse 'X-men', like Snakemen, Frogmen, Olmmen and Lizardmen. Nasty little creatures! Especially the Snakemen seemed to be the dangerous ones, I think those were the ones that killed my Champions.
And watch Captnduck's video tutorials. (On Youtube)

Did anyone else think of Dwarf Fortress' random name generator when they heard about that film The Lovely Bones? Has that dysfunctional quirky charm. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9e/Lovely_bones_ver2.jpg[/img]
How would one go about shooting a bow in Adventurer mode? I've been trying to figure this out.
