Dwarf fortress

Featured Replies

I like brooks because it allows you to gather fish, providing food before you have your farms set up.

 

As of now, I have 750 units of fish, 800 units of plant, and 700 units of alchohol.

waterfalss are practiaclly useless. aquifers are dificult to keep track of, imppsible in those areas where you cant smooth stone. you run into one of those, your fortress is screwed from that point further...

They make dwarves feel better and make me feel happier.

Aquifers are imensely easy to keep track of...what with the blinking blues.

Build walls...

You do know you can dig downwards?

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

lucky bastard. i still ahvent watched those militaary videos. until i get around to it, i wont be able to do.. squat. maybe i should watch those before rebooting this game.

Mm, my nobles have pools of water in their rooms, along with several statues.

 

Gotta keep your bookkeepers and brokers happy, y'know.

arch, you dont understand. if the aquifer breaks through the stone, then how are you to acess levels farther down? no dwarf is an expert swimmer when you get them. and its hard to do things underwater if.. yyouknow.. you cant breath down there.

Aquifers can't break through stone...

Currently I have hollowed out 20+ levels(around 30*30)

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

true. but whenever ive embarked onto an aquifer, its broken through before my engravers could smooth the stone. i lsot 20 dwarves from the flooding..

Hmmmm...My method would be to just tunnel where the aquifer isn't...trying to beat the game didn't go well when I tried to redivert a river...or any of the other times I tried to do something mildly complicated....So...

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

I have an idea for the river diversion. If the river freezes, you could manage to dig out some of the ice and build a wall, then allow it to follow the new channel.

Maybe you should try a magma waterfall, Archi! ;)

Wait, couldn't you flood the world by sufficiently blocking a river? :)

i made a multi powered millstone, so it could funtion in winter and summer at full capacity.. complicated series of tunnels, channals, gear assemblies, and waterwheels/windmills didnt make the game go nuts or anything. redirecting a river is impossible, because you have no way to block the rivers progress downstream...

Redirecting a river is easy, if it freezes.

 

 

 

Also Nex, I believe that the river just stops, instead of overflowing. You'd probaly need pumps for that.

Created wealth has broken the million mark, go me.

 

Now to flood the world with hundereds of electrum goblets in exchange for more or less anything.

huh. no minting coins out of electrum? im sure people would get a kick out of that, especially if it does what it name states and shocks people..

The economy wont start properly in DF2010.

 

Electrum coins weren't used anyway.

 

Also, electrum is a real metal. It's an alloy of gold and silver.

true, but going by its name, it would be fun if it had the property to shcok things.

Time for my second attempt at settling on haunted terrain. First one went a little bad with a skeletal croc run-in.

The sour dough of the epitmous pie hungers for another's sweet lips to be dulled into a state of most irreverant humbleness

TUBULAR BELLS!

Watch out for skeletal whales.

 

Or worse, skeletal sea monsters...

Zombie carp.

 

The horror.

 

THE HORROR.

2Xeo5.png

Well, I just realized that the boundaries for my goblin shredder had pits that conveniently went into my archery range. Oops.

 

Then some snatchers showed up, I sent both my army squads after them, and..... they hit some alligators instead....?

 

You can guess what happens next.

Still haven't played yet. Im almost done the tutorial videos though, so Ill probably try to run it tomorrow.

 

Puppy strangler FTW!

Just survived a Swamp Titan attack with no drawbridge and no functional traps (I was setting them up when it appeared)

 

Losses:

A cat

A dog

2 brave and loyal soldiers

A mechanic who had immigrated with Legendary Siege operation - fat lot of good it did him

 

Cleanup and such is beginning. Going to butcher the fat thing if I can, and dump it into my garbage chute of death if I can't.

 

As for all the dead critters... Cat and dog will be butchered, soldiers and mechanic will be put into a mausoleum being built for just that purpose.
