That's only if dwarves get into fights. Oh, I had a great idea. 3x3 shaft down to the bottom where your fortress is. The central tiles are up/down staircases, while the ones surrounding it are restrained war elephants.

 

Enemies will have to fight 27 at a time, and face hundreds if they like dodging and moving Z-levels. :)

Ok guys, I decided to play again, how do I change levels?

 

Figured it out.

 

Will be asking tons of questions.

How can I change floor when the < button isn't registered by the game?

You gotta use keybindings.

Up/down stairs are a giant fps killer apparently.

 

I switched to using ramps, though I'm not sure about it yet.

Didn't work...

 

I'll just ruin the area by remobing the mountain instead.

Mather I have to admit that royksopp is a good thing that came from Norway.

You think so? It's not really my kind of music.

 

Anyways, you'll be hearing of Donkey Boy too soon, some british artist is going to cover one or more of their songs. They're from Drammen.

 

 

EDIT: One of my dwarves just grew to become a dog.

Thats slightly creepy. Anyways, i have to wait until i can get back to fortressing, but i found a good water suuply and i had a most epic idea. Now.. to find a swimmer..

If you're planning to declare war on the ocean, I already tried that.

 

It doesn't work because of pathfinding quirks.

I tried this massive engineering project, where I had this giant cavern which I pumped (well it wasn't necessarily pumped, but it was a combination of things) in hundreds of thousands of units of water to try and airdrown a pack of whales. Sadly, my computer died a terrible fps death that day.

 

One reason why you don't mess with the ocean.

No.. It has to do with rivers.. Rivers under the sea.. To hide and play and frolick, and then to find water for me..

Declare war on the ocean with longrange dwarves who can swim. I mean, you could try and hack a whale to death with a battleaxe, or put a crossbow bolt through its skull. Which one would work better?

sup guys? :P

 

How ya'll been?

Good. Nice to see 'ya.

According to Monster Hunter Tri, the axe.

 

And hi semi-Tavernite I don't recall ever talking to!

I guess RPG got caught up elsewhere before you joined then.

Hmm, I don't think my plan will work.. I was thinking of having a swimming miner dig chanals thru a designated area for a river, then breach the river to divert it's flow down the path i had set.

Dobule post.. But on dwarf fortress adventure mode, i killed a cougar.. With snow. Heres what the snow did to him:

The spinning snow hits the cougar in the head! bruising the muscle and jamming the skull through the brain and tearing it! The cougar falls unconcious. The cougar is shot and killed.

I'm getting more of this uber snow.

I throw large serrated discs.

 

Much more stylish.

Dude, i've been throwing down with a bronze colosus for ten minutes now, and no damage. Though i am now a legendary fighter and i am also a legendary wrestler.

Edit: And dead. Got strangled by the colosus.

Hmm should I just have one entrance to my fortress and put my trading depot in it or have multiple entrances with doors (and traps) leading out towards wood?

I usually only have one entrance since I get all my wood from caravans or caverns.

Is it just me or is stone irritating as [bleep] to stockpile in (how do you quantum stockpile anyways?). Thusly I have decided to have all of my stockpiles and workshops (that don't use stone/metal) in clay (if at all possible)

Like I said, desgnate a garbage dump tile, then [d]--[d], draw a rectangle over all the stone you want gone, and then have refuse haulers at the ready to take it all to the dump.
