Dropbox is oh SO fun and convenient until you realize 97% of your space is filled

I woulda limped out there and kicked some gobbo ass if it weren't for Dwarven painkillers! (Booze and a good whack in the head with a training mace.)

[QUOTE=APinAP;31404998]Actually you're a mother[/QUOTE] Your avatar made that even more hilarious, Im not sure why. Maybe I read it in my head in a gentlemans voice.

Checking through APinAP's logs, am I still alive? Didn't see myself in there. Also aren't like, half the posters of this thread dead by now? Saw a lot of pink messages.

I'm just glad I could be of service putting down that dangerous criminal.

The autumn has definitely been less eventful than normal. I quite like it. I might just retire and stick all the responsibility on some poor dwarf. Not yet, though. We make an agreement for next year: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF293.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF294.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF295.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF296.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF297.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF298.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF299.png[/img] And the mandatory ambush strikes.

Maybe I'll feel better if I do something in Monom's memory. Oh, of course! The caravan! [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9623428/screenies/DF308.png[/img] So... much... fish...

Are there any beginners guides you guys would recommend for the absolute DF noob? I tried those in the OP but the links don't appear to work for me

I'm about to embark at a biome that features an ocean [u][i]and[/i][/u] a river. The wiki says they may drink salt water if "left with no other option", Does that mean if I build my fortress very close to the ocean that they'll drink water directly from the ocean (If I have no booze), as in, will they go to the closest water source, regardless of whether it's salty or not? Or does clean water always have a higher priority.

Just build a well. See, dwarven technology allows a simple well to act as a desalinization plant.

Usually I'm too lazy to look it up. Wouldn't the river be salty too though, since the ocean is in the same biome and connected to the river? Or is the games logic more complex than that.

But a well is easy to make and makes your dorfs happy. It's just a block, which can be made at masons or carpenters workshop, a mechanism, a chain and a bucket. All you need is some one with the architecture labor enabled to make it. I recommend you read [url=http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Well]this[/url] though.

[QUOTE=Shotacon;31412975]The river appears to be flowing though.[/QUOTE] Flowing into the ocean? of course.

[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;31413032]Flowing into the ocean? of course.[/QUOTE] Yes, so wouldn't the water be fresh water since it's flowing from a fresh water source in one direction? The ocean doesnt flow into the river, the opposite happens. [editline]29th July 2011[/editline] Or can a river flow north in DF too..

[QUOTE=Shotacon;31413104]Yes, so wouldn't the water be fresh water since it's flowing from a fresh water source in one direction? The ocean doesnt flow into the river, the opposite happens.[/QUOTE] In real life, rivers aren't always freshwater. They become saltier the further downstream you get. Estuaries are generally just as salty as the ocean itself.

If you don't like the idea of Humans using those things, I can give another file that simply gives Humans nobility/military.[/QUOTE] My pre-set LNP embark choices lose a ton of the equipment after installing this. :(

How do you guys get so many sieges/forgotten beasts? I play regularly, but the last siege I got was like at 0.31.16, and I haven't gotten a forgotten beast at all. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I usually work my fortresses up to a high level, and nothing attacks me.
