Dwarf Fortress - DF2014 released - Games

I genned a new world and was going through the Dorf civs and [img]http://puu.sh/c96PU/ca815918d5.png[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/c97lP/7644c3ce22.png[/img]

So I just made a large mist generator, for my large dining room. But it's barely generating any mist at all. I haven't made one since 40d, but I followed the blueprint, just upscaled it. It's really annoying since this took a while to build, and now the mist doesn't even hit the dwarfs in the room. (I don't want to advertise, but I have a stream on, if someone who can help want to see how it looks like). Any ideas what it might be?

[QUOTE=person11;46209224]Getting into Dwarf Fortress for the first time in a couple months, got a quick question: What is the best way to completely ruin the world? Is it possible? Like, somehow cause the destruction of everything[/QUOTE] Embarking usually does that for me. :v:

[QUOTE=person11;46211821]So no flooding the world or having Clowns escape from the circus and spreading?[/QUOTE] because of how the game works it's near impossible to fuck the entire world. You can easely fuck up your local area in fort mode, but the effects will be minimal outside that area. You can probably get the clowns out and have them spread when you go to the site in adventure mode though or something.

Yeah, I'll try that now

Man I can't seem to get elfs angry. I have traded wood with them, took their shit. Even edited in the raw files (before generating the world) adding the goblin [LIKES_FIGHTING] token to them. I just want to wreck some elfs.

no this isnt funny!!! this is a serious problem and i need help

Create a squad and order them to kill the elves.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;46264573]Create a squad and order them to kill the elves.[/QUOTE] I did that on a embark before the one I am now, but they won't really attack back nor will any sieges/ambushes come.

You need to be patient and persistent. Especially if you have a prior history of good trading with the elves, it can take several years to sufficiently anger them to the point of war. Definitely continue destroying any caravans they send. Make pacts with the elvish diplomat, then cut down all your trees. Then use the diplomat for !!SCIENCE!!

I just finished making my Royal Guard squad for my current fort. Here is their uniform: [IMG]https://photos-2.dropbox.com/t/1/AACvmxuwUi2r_RWfOgo70UbbzjbUTpTNvP3y4vuSklpeKw/12/1589373/png/1024x768/3/1413806400/0/2/outfit_1.PNG/dmAkB8eY9SNHAwYfGwhrGe1fY8YOqLlehzwq32QvADs[/IMG] [IMG]https://photos-4.dropbox.com/t/1/AACFAWlNOI_NFYH2cugI50xNgVxEMD6VOig-ln4-vYT3RQ/12/1589373/png/1024x768/3/1413806400/0/2/outfit_2.PNG/zxtP3a3w_0ZOgUJTPxpDNCJHeW-4Kfb21T93tDzZki8[/IMG] It was a lot of work forbidding stuff, using burrows just to make that they all only wear/use only masterwork armor and weapon(s). The candy armor pieces are studded with gold, silver and steel. While their weapon the gold mace is studded with candy, silver, steel. I'm actually quite proud over this squad. They will guard the highest noble, unfort I can't make them follow the mayor/or similar but can guard his room.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;46283201]They will guard the highest noble, unfort I can't make them follow the mayor/or similar but can guard his room.[/QUOTE] Man, that would be a waste - throwing all those dorfs into lava.

[QUOTE=gufu;46283631]Man, that would be a waste - throwing all those dorfs into lava.[/QUOTE] I don't really follow the typical kill nobles constantly, but I try to do the opposite.

Are there any working tilesets for the latest release? Feel like getting back into DF

[QUOTE=Mr Shadyface;46285071]Are there any working tilesets for the latest release? Feel like getting back into DF[/QUOTE] Most of the big ones should be. Phoebus, Jolly Bastion, a few others. There should be a specific subforum for tilesets on the DF boards.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;46284108]I don't really follow the typical kill nobles constantly, but I try to do the opposite.[/QUOTE] wtf so you kill normal dorfs but not nobles? thats fucked dude, that is so wrong on so many levels. I hope satan takes you on a one way trip to the lowest depths of hell... [sp]and gives you a medal[/sp]

what tilesets can you recommend?

I would recommend Spacefox

Depends, do you prefer things on the ASCII side or graphic sets?

Personally, I use Phoebus. There should be preview images in each of the threads that show you what they change and look like.

I don't have the attention span I used to. I want to get back into DF but I get bored before things start to get interesting.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;46300631]mayday <3[/QUOTE] Even though I don't use tilesets, Mayday has always looked nice to me. When I first started playing DF, the 40d version I think. I started with mayday, and it was really nice until I decided that I wanted to challenge myself and try to learn ascii, and been with it entirely since then.

My favourite is the Grim Fortress tileset. I rarely see anybody using it but it's so nice on the eyes. [img]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/Vidumec/Untitled-10-1.png[/img] [img]http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/Vidumec/Untitled-11.png[/img]

Why are they refusing to gather the charcoal from the wood burner?

[QUOTE=Mr Shadyface;46303152]Why are they refusing to gather the charcoal from the wood burner?[/QUOTE] It's possible that it's still on fire.

[QUOTE=archangel125;46303648]It's possible that it's still on fire.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure that's not at all how workshops work. It's possible there's nowhere for it to go, or it could currently be tasked by a dwarf but not actually being picked up.

why are you even here then? Also, it was a glitch, its fine now. Also, would it be awful of me to build a depot room with floodgates and pumps designed to trap and drown merchants so i can steal their shit? [sp]just kidding. of course it's ok.[/sp]

Why don't you just deconstruct the depot instead? Same thing, just less corpses and ghosts.
