Dwarf Fortress v14 - Clean Socks Save Lives

[Terminutter]

Well, throwing is better than any ranged weapon - it's as powerful as the bow or crossbow, and you can throw anything, not to mention faster.
Musicallity, empathy e.t.c is useless, though social awareness can help you get more people.

Get a companion or two to stop boogymen assaults.
Lashers and crossbowmen are pricks, kill on sight. (lashers are amazingly OP vanilla)

Oh, and wrestling is hilarious.

You stab The Maceman in the head with your iron scimitar, tearing the muscle, shattering the skull and tearing apart the outer brain through the cat leather hood!
An artery has been opened by the attack!
A tendon in the skull has been torn!
The Maceman looks sick!
The iron scimitar has lodged firmly in the wound!
You collide with The Maceman!
You bounce backward!
The Pikeman strikes at You but the shot is parried!
You counterstrike!
You miss The Pikeman!
The Maceman misses You!
You miss The Pikeman!

So basically, i destroy his skull and he just keeps on swinging while my sword is still in his skull.[/QUOTE]

Gotta hit the inner brain to kill. Tearing the outer brain just causes immense vomiting and pain and possibly cut arteries.

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;34460347]Ok since i'm really just fucking around getting used to adventure mode, I usually last like 3 days before getting ambushed and killed in my sleep.

Anyone got any tips for character creation (Whats the best thing to go as while a demigod and etc) and general tips on playing?[/QUOTE]

About the more obscure stats: focus is required mostly for archery, kinesthetic and spatial senses help help with fighting, willpower helps to act when in pain (though it would probably be more economical points wise to get strenght and toughness, strenght along with the obvious perks gives your adventurer thicker muscles which protect from damage somewhat).

Difference of endurance and toughness is that toughness resists damage (but not pain) and endurance makes your adventurer become exhausted slower and improves wrestling somewhat.

Social sense or whatever lets you hire followers easier but is kinda pointless.

Linguistic skill, musicality, empathy, analytical skill, memory and patience as said don't affect anything.

In wrestling you can use "takedowns" or "throws". Throw is simply a better but harder version of takedown and it also stuns enemies or even better, fling them at the nearest obstacle at high velocity depending on strenght and relative size of the adventurer.

[editline]30th January 2012[/editline]

Experienced my first goblin assault, only 3 dwarves dying
I have two questions:
1)Is there an easier way to read all the battlelogs?
2)How to properly bury a dwarf?[/QUOTE]

build a coffin, set it up as you would any other piece of furniture, then select it and enabled burial of citizens.

you can also set up a cemetary for pets although while anyone would do that is beyond me.

Platinum is a soft metal afaik, so a basic iron sword should be able to cut it easily. Poisonous vapors though, it means your military will get fucked in the ass. Try sending just 1-2 of your most elite soldiers against it to save the rest from being poisoned

[WarRage]

3 people died, people collecting wood from the underground. One guy his WHOLE BODY is ROTTEN and hes still alive walking around.

Okay now they are spreading miasma like crazy i locked them into their bedrooms so it dosent spread WHAT DO?

I don't think poisonous vapours actually spread between people. It's not a liquid like poison blood and the such, so only the original dudes who got caught up in the vapours will die.

Magma Pool.

Everyone who got in contact with the poison are rotting out in their beds. I decided to lock the door and wait for them to die. As heroes they fallen as heroes they shall have their tombs.

You could try to decontaminate dwarves by putting shallow channels of water in all main hallways.

When they walk through the water it should was off all the poison blood or dust which seems to be the case your dwarves are having.

[WarRage]

Well the poison only killed when the beast was still alive, its 'extract' only makes people sleep for 1 minute.

Unless I'm mistaken, just add the [TAMEABLE] tag (or whatever it was, look up a trainable creature and see what it is).

The issue is the [TRAINABLE] tag means it [I]should[/I] be able to be trained as a war/hunting animal, and in fact the wiki states they're good additions to your military. Anything that has the [TRAINABLE] tag can be turned into either a war or hunting creature (from dogs to dragons.)

It might be a bug.

Dropping caged deer from several z levels up onto spikes shatters them into pieces, and has their head and legs on different floors. Conclusion: deer are bouncy.

perhaps your deer are freezing in midair from the cold

try dropping them into lava instead

welp.

holy shit :suicide:

the game decided that I needed about 25 more dwarves, I only had 15 before. I'm fucked, really, I mean I have enough food and they're useful but I only have two miners to make the barracks.

EDIT: FUCK
one of my dwarves just adopted a cat right before I was setting it to get butchered.

EDIT: WHY OH GOD
ONe of my weaponsmiths got possessed and I don't have anything for her to make shit with
