It was changed a few versions ago, creatures need to be able to be within a tile from each-other in order to produce offspring. There's no action involved, it's just a reduction in range of the old spore mechanic. And there's gelding.

Sergeant_Crunch posted:Oh man, procedurally generated martial arts sounds loving incredible. Omi is a hand-to-hand combat style founded by Ari Bellowcrescent in the Belts of Rain. It mainly focuses on the use of rapid palm strikes and also incorporates sweeping acrobatic kicks. It is intended for self-defense. Its traditions are somewhat spiritual in nature, but mostly grounded in practical experience. The Bathing Hound Advance is a signature technique of Omi. It is a sequence of rapid feints followed by a sidestep and a spectacular whirling kick aimed at the lower body. It is accompanied by a terrifying war cry. It was first demonstrated by Ari Bellowcrescent in the Belts of Rain and is moderately challenging to master. The Meditation of Mule-Temples is a signature technique of Omi. It is a distraction strike to the front upper teeth followed by an aggressive leap and a bold aerial headbutt aimed at the left fourth toe. It is announced by name when performed. It was first demonstrated by Cog Furnacerounds in the Belts of Rain and is incredibly difficult to master.

Egg fertility is determined at the moment they are laid. They will never go from being unfertilized to being fertilized within the nestbox or anywhere else for that matter. Take them away and eat them or throw them at goblins or whatever and hope the next clutch is viable. Make sure the male is in the same pasture / room / whatever your setup is as the females are. Also make sure your peacock isn't gay like mine was. Luckily the elves bought a pair of tame giant black mambas so I am now raising a very different sort of egglaying livestock.

I think my merchants brought a stealthed werellama goblin with them. I can't find the corpse, but everyone's horrified, one of the merchants is dead, and the rest are refusing to budge. I fear a loyalty cascade approaches. Will my dwarves still implode if the merchants go insane and attack?

"Through controlled breathing, this combat style inflicts extra damage upon vampires and undead." It would actually make sense that a fort in a Terrifying biome might develop specialized combat forms to fight undead, the way a fort in the middle of Goblin country might get really good at fighting Goblins. There really is something worth looking at there. Someone page Toady.

I think Toady said that he planned to use more or less the same idea for combat styles, but the arts just came first. Anyway, what I can't wait for is the bugs - pets joining their owners in song, or an undead army breaking into a dance number in the middle of a siege.

I just had a swordsdwarf I trained in a danger room die in the middle of watching a demonstration. The wooden spikes had mangled his ears in the danger room a few seasons ago and I think he died from a damned infection. EDIT: I just pulled up the show all wounds health tab in DT and it shows every single dwarf I trained in the danger room has some undiagnosed infection somewhere. I see some "fun" in my future! EDIT the 2nd: It turns out that this is a known issue since cartilage and nails are both set to not heal in the raws, they will linger forever and death by blood loss and infection will eventually happen. Ten seconds editing the raws and when I booted the game back up the rest of my military went to go get their gaping ear holes cleaned and sutured. Better luck next time sepsis!

The year is 250. All of dwarven land is occupied by The Anguished Barbarity. Well... not entirely. One small fortress of indomitable dwarves holds out against the invasion.

Similar thing happened to one of my forts. Then 2 sieges came which was nice and fun. Then nothing else so far. Kind disappointing really. Really wish there was an option for regular sieges to show up even if they a generated out of thin air.

Using the lazy newb pack, I've restarted my fort about 10 times. I never, ever get any invaders. Every now and then I get a forgotten beast. I have invaders on in the pack. I even regenerated the world several times. I remember last time I played (df2010) I would have goblins and kobolds left and right. I'm running a small world, 100 year history, and there's plenty of enemy civs. Any idea how I can flag these on? Running a peaceful fort is super boring.

At embark, make sure to hit Tab a couple-few times to see nearby civs. Make sure goblins are present and that you're at war with them. Once that's done, crank out useless crafts and expensive-rear end items, really get that fort value up. If it still doesn't happen, Hell, I dunno. Maybe redownload DF?

Verdugo posted:Using the lazy newb pack, I've restarted my fort about 10 times. I never, ever get any invaders. Every now and then I get a forgotten beast. I have invaders on in the pack. Okay, there are a bunch of things that go into this. In DF2014 sieges have to come from real places with real goblins and they actually travel to get where they're going. That means if no goblins live within 30 tiles of you, no sieges, so check for goblins when you embark. Theoretically if they're too depopulated or something happens to the siege camp on the way, no sieges -- there was a bug some versions ago where they would just camp forever, but if the LNP is updated to 40.24 that should be fixed already. Double-check and see. This also means that you probably won't actually get attacked until your fort gets big enough for goblins to notice, plus however long it takes them to travel to your fort. So try getting your fort to 80+ dwarves and then waiting a year or two on top of that before writing it off. Finally, if you don't want to run a huge fort, you can mod goblins to attack at much lower thresholds of population, created wealth, and exported wealth. (In the past meeting any one category was sufficient, but based on what I've seen in DF2014 that seems very suspect.) If you want to go down this route, go into entity_default.txt in the raws and change all the [PROGRESS_TRIGGER] values in the goblin entry to 1 or 2 instead of 3. (1 equals 20 population, 2 equals 50, 3 equals 80. I'm not sure what they map to for the production and trade but basically just set them all to 1 and if you get goblins too soon you can turn them back up.)

I know sieges are supposed to come from real places, but I've reloaded a save game to just before a siege arrived and never had it appear, instead getting a different kind of event(were-creature or whatever) on the same day. Do they just turn up instantaneously on your map after the civ decides to send them, and this time the civ decided not to send them? Or did something happen to the army in transit?

Were creature encountered them and killed them all? Or maybe last time they killed the were creature? I know once I had a siege happen to me within the first year that was likely a siege intended for another site seeing as how they entered one side of the map and beelined to the other side of the map and left.
