They just have wooden sticks... can't you just embark with one guy already trained and armored to take them on with?

I wish I was as lucky to have such a large amount of FUN.

It's more difficult than you think.
Also arrows hurt. and there's like 30 something elves.
Also unrelated, my dorfs wont pick up wood anymore, i cut it down, I have plenty of space in my wood stockpile, all of them have the wood hauling labor enabled but they just leave the wood lying around.

Make sure it's not forbidden or something.

Do you have a save of one of the worlds where you're at war with the elves that I could have? I keep generating worlds where everyone is at peace, and the goblins don't even send snatchers...

[quote]Added contact and cleaning effects to the interaction framework and linked them back to red panda grooming, narwhal tusking, and kitty cat head-bumps, with the ability to do touch-range curses/powers as well. I'm also going through and setting up preliminary raw files for the other 112 (or whatever it is) sponsorship critters so that I don't get too far behind, but at the moment I'm still preparing abilities/new tags for the batch of eight from last weekend.[/quote]

Kitty head-bumps causing necrosis or explosions - who's gonna mod that in first?
Oh you missed the cool town pictures from the last devlog.

e: this is why we need media tags :I
The fortress is up and running we have living quarters carved out and they have beds now, that seemed to make everybody happier, the farms are finally starting to work properly. we will expect the first caravan very shortly.

Oh my god.
Trinket (ring, scepters, amulets, crowns, etc) stockpiles. In my adventure games, those things are my greatest temptation. I always give in to stealing and hoarding them and tricking myself out in bling.
I'm trying to start playing this game but I am having a hard time figuring out the controls. How do I play this game :C ?
Singlehandedly caused the world to pass into the Age of Heroes :buddy:
[QUOTE=hgncommand;30594596]I'm trying to start playing this game but I am having a hard time figuring out the controls. How do I play this game :C ?[/QUOTE]
Well, you should try looking up some tutorials on how to play. DF isn't a game you can just pick up get how to play, a lot of the controls are counter-intuitive. It took me awhile to get the hang of it enough to make a good fort, and I'm still learning stuff every time I play. If you stick with it, in my experience it is one of the most rewarding games I have ever played.
Also, I suggest you use a tileset as it makes it a lot easier to learn to play and to recognize objects. [url=http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2431]Here is the one I use[/url].

[quote]Squid ink addition turned into material-flows-as-interaction rewrite, which is longer but allows the breath cloud/glob/cone stuff to be added as interaction powers now, which will doubtless come in handy. It also makes material breath have body part requirements, which they were missing. Fire breath hasn't been integrated yet. I suppose webs should be as well, but we'll have to see what happens. Back to towns for now.[/quote]
Now shooting fire in adventure mode will be possible, that makes me happy.
I hope Toady makes amphibious races playable, I want to explore the deep and combat horrid abominations of the trenches.
So how come the only clothing I can make is caps? it's the only option available at the clothiers shop and in the manager.
[QUOTE=eatdembeanz;30599190]I hope Toady makes amphibious races playable, I want to explore the deep and combat horrid abominations of the trenches.[/QUOTE]
He'd probably have to fix oceans freezing spontaneously and killing any wildlife in it first.
But yeah, it'd be pretty cool if he made races with unique traveling abilities playable, as it can open up some new areas, and make certain things easier. An example would be a flying race, such as cave swallow men.
So, does the latest version still contain broken military? I mean, dwarves decked out in iron getting slaughtered by a goblin in bronze?

That was fixed a [I]long[/I] time ago, besides bronze is supposed to be better then iron.
Been a while since i played this game, i always give up because some sort of bug ruins the whole experience for me after a while :smith:
Though, had some good laughs with it. There was one time where i started, and all of my little unarmed dwarves got swarmed by, apparently fairly large, flying insects. To sum up, they all got brutally murdered after about 5 minutes :v:
I've lost count of the number of times ive accidentally flooded my base with lava trying to build a lava moat :v:

What happened to the succession game?

I'm planning on donating after this new update comes out.
[QUOTE=Canuhearmenow;30601864]That was fixed a [I]long[/I] time ago, besides bronze is supposed to be better then iron.[/QUOTE]
That was also changed a long time ago. Toady went in favour of the [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCoconutEffect]coconut effect[/url] instead of keeping bronze better as in real life.
[QUOTE=SteelReal;30609363]What happened to the succession game?[/QUOTE]
Adbor didn't finish and hasn't given his save out either, someone should really PM him.
God fucking dammit, at this point I'm thinking of ONLY puttting male dwarves in the military, because the women wont stop popping out fucking kids, then I can't put them in the danger room or the babys get impaled and they flip shit and kill everyone, and they carry them into battle too.

I have male only military, not just for the baby reason. I just don't find female dwarves badass enough to be in the military.
