DWARF FORTRESS

[Muzic]

which ofcourse brings us back to the old discussion about dwarves being pissy about the lack of variety of mastercraft meals.

Designating a meeting area using zones (i?) will make all your dogs rush there, you dont need a table.

In fact i once used this method to order my wardogs to clean out a chasm, its very effective for moving them around.

the dwarcen caravans here and i dontnhave anything thing to trade because is not expersive enough. and im trying to trade for an anvil.

[manored]

thats a shame that you cant get rid of thieves. i think hes stealing my food. and its anyoing because he disturbs all of my dwarfs.

Set one of your dwarves close to the invading thief, preferably one with some kind of weapon-like tool (Axes, picks) to military service and tell then to station there. I once did that and the thief was dead before I could watch the battle :)

Spam stone crafts and make sure only 1 dwarf is set to do stonecrafting in labours. That way he'll get legendary quickly and crafts will be worth more. A couple of bins full of *sexy stone crafts* will be worth 1k easily...

so im building a new fortress right once my dwarfves get moving i get ambushed by multipul ratman a stray hunting dog, and the creature that has an r to symbolize it. how crap is that.

[Muzic]

Lol.

In your situation i'da started a new fortress and buy 7 wardogs and assign one to each of them.


I dont really remember becuase i havent played the new versions much; does a dwarf still eventually arrive with an anvil??


And makesure you have an appraiser of some sorts becuase thats the only way you can trade and know the value of things.


And assign someone to be an animal trainer and make that dog pen thing and then train some war dogs

thanks for all the help guys. i REALLY appricate it.

just 1 question and one info byte.

on one of my gf games when i built the trade de. it turned red. why?

and ive been having trouble find good spots. im alway trying to find a place with hills, a river, and vegitation=trees. but im sure i will find a suitable location on saturday.

Try using the Dwarf Wiki to learn more about certain things; it will surely surpirse you about some stuff. Like dwarven computing.

maybe the trade dep. was just red because i used petrified wood.

[Gota]

I built a pyramid for my dead Dwarf king.

[Erom]

Yup, that's what did it. The depot is just the color of whatever you build it out of.

Dont forget the traps :)

[pharoph]

the production tree looks awsome.

[pharoph]

any ideas of what to do with platnium nuggets and magnetite?

[Erom]

Magnetite is an iron ore - get some smelted and you can make some iron and steel, perfect for weapons and armor. Platinum isn't useful for weapons or armor, but it's very high value, so some platinum statues or furniture are a great way to increase the value of a room.

[pharoph]

what are blocks and how do you make them?

[Erom]

Stone blocks are carved from raw stone at a mason's workshop. They can be used to build higher quality stuff, and some things (like pumps and wells) require them instead of raw stone.

[Acidd_UK]

You can also make blocks from raw wood, metal and glass.

[Muzic]

Wow this thread has had alot evolution from the first original post..

Who here has actually just faught off every seige with dwarves and no traps?


It'd be great once some things like instruments start to have some purpose. Like legendary musicians would greatly motivate dwarves into battle or into work. Or they could host concerts and dwarves/humans/elves from all the world would come and pay lots and lots of goods.
