Nosre posted:Dwarves need to not have a fear of heights to enter this fort. Also, the defensive possibilities are endless! That looks great. Keep us updated on how many take the plunge! I'm planning to dig out something similar under my entrance, once I get to it. Knowing how often dorfs stumble would be useful!

Well, since quickfort doesn't exist right now I guess I'm gonna keep playing in worldgen for a while. Is everything just Age of Myth forever now? I remember back when Mytth wouldn't last long and you'd be in Legends or Heroes fairly quickly but now it seems Myth lasts a long time. I guess necromancers boost the weird poo poo numbers perpetually.

I'm probably just a dummy, but I can't figure out how to start a new fort in the same world. I think I understand some of the systems better and want a location with more interesting terrain.

Hmmm a traders caravan seems brokenm. A Yak and two dwarves are here and the trader is gone, but all their info says they aren't part of any civ or anything. They are just kinda wandering around outside and the poo poo they carry is being counted as part of the fort stocks. Maybe they'll die and I can take all their poo poo.

Follow up, the merchants are here too, but like also wandering around outside. Are they stuck? Some are in the trees too for some reason. This is weird.

hailthefish posted:You only get the seeds back from something you grow when it's 'processed' and your dwarves don't know to save some aside as seed-shrooms so it is possible for your dwarves to plant all the seeds they have and cook all the shrooms they grow and you might not notice until it is too late. This is mostly a risk in the very early game, when you only have enough shrooms and seeds for a few seasons of planting, or like, one month of a cook going ham. Thanks! I have a ton of fruit/nut trees so I probably don't need to be cooking plump helmets but I have been and on I still have like 100+ seeds so it's probably pretty safe. This is good to keep in mind though.

For negative mood modifiers, I have some dwarves that are unhappy because they're bored and haven't done something creative in a long time, as well as haven't been able to fight anything (despite having no martial skills). For the latter I guess I can put them in a military unit for a month but for the former is there an easier way to fix that than manually assigning them to detailing walls or giving them craftdwarf workshops?

Vichan posted:Assigning uniforms is such a pain, can I get my military dwarves to just wear whatever? I had my woodcutter, who was a competent enough axedwarf, standing very close to a cave crocodile who was menacing another dwarf. I try and draft her, realize I need to make her militia commander, organize her squad, etc. Uniform? I don't care. I'll just pick "no uniform". I successfully draft her up, tell her to fight the crocodile and... she throws her axe to the ground, instantly strips naked, and dives into that crocodile's jaws. That's... not exactly what I intended. Going to have to spend some time figuring out this system. Can you just tell them to go with one of the preset armors and just not worry about it if you don't have all the equipment?

Vichan posted:Assigning uniforms is such a pain, can I get my military dwarves to just wear whatever? You can create a custom uniform that is any piece of X equipment and assign it to entire squads. But it shouldn't be that difficult since when you create a squad it asks for you to select their uniform, unless you're trying to mix marksdwarves and melee in one squad heavily.

Vichan posted:Assigning uniforms is such a pain, can I get my military dwarves to just wear whatever? Try assigning them a uniform that's just a weapon of their choice and allow partial match, that should get them to pick up arms and wear whatever I think. I didn't really get the uniform system so my two squads just practiced wrasslin' for years until my first major encounter, a forest titan. It picked off a lone lumber dwarf on its way to my fort, but my squads cornered it, pushed it down and beat it into submission. Overall my third(?) fort is going very well right now, after a lot of trial and error trying to irrigate myself a mushroom farm plot and punching through babby's first aquifier. My population has exploded to 150+, my tavern is attracting absurd amounts of travelers and bards, religions and guilds are thriving and I'm easily buying out everything of interest from caravans. Four years in, my only deaths have been the one titan-mauled guy, and two bar brawl casualties. My engineer and blacksmith got into a drunken fight in my absolutely packed tavern, dragging in over a dozen other characters who presumably tried to stop the fight. Both of my dwarves survived the fight unscathed, but two bystanders got injured and died while in the hospital. I like this game a lot.

Well I've had my first deathspiral. A swarm of 12 giant thrips descended on my fortress from above and killed half the fort. Right as I thought I had stabilized things I had two giant squirrels come in and immediately start killing more. Now the ghosts of the first to die are rising and I'm fairly sure this is going to be unrecoverable for awhile. I'm thinking I'll abandon the fort and come back in the same spot since besides these giant fuckers things were going great. Maybe I embarked somewhere where there is an excess of giant agitated creatures. Also I think one of my dwarves is a vampire also.

So question - is the world map dynamic? As in can goblins spread, new towers show up, etc? I know you can take over sites but can the other civs expand? I apparently pissed off the elves even though I followed their quotas, and when I got news from the mountainhomes apparently they sent an army to another fort because it was closer. Sorry folks!

Traded with some humans, they happily packed up and started leaving. Except on the way out one of the guards got into a fight with a cougar. No one died or even got injured but they wouldn't actually pack up and leave and just stood frozen on the map. Well, finally after like a year of nothing happening I deconstructed the trade depot and the humans got done leaving. To be honest I'm not sure I suffered any negative effects either since they were technically on their way out already anyway, even though I definitely "stole" some items from said depot. Also, despite being hostile on the embark map, I checked via the world map screen in fort mode and apparently my civ is friendly with the nearby goblins? I guess I'm not complaining, but so far the only things of note have been three forgotten beasts, two of which are currently in an inaccessible cavern layer.

I'm trying to make soap. According to the wiki, this can be accomplished by pressing olives to oil at a screw press. I have olives, but I don't get that option. I also have no huntsdwarf, so butchering animals seem harder. Maybe I can try a kill order on some randon bit of wildlife instead.

Yeah, for me it might be that there is a constant onslaught of Keas against anyone outside, which is probably why there were like 6 of these caravans stuck in various spots on the map. That might be why some of them were in the trees too, chasing the birds into the trees to murder them, then just deciding they live there now.

Dwarves in my tavern keep telling human mercs about some artifact bone leggings we've got on display in the residents-only dining room and it keeps leading to those same mercs being literally de-limbed by a squad of furious dwarven wrestlers when they take a run at trying to heist it Starting to think they're doing it intentionally

You can set things up with a variety of triggers, like "If stores of X items are equal to 0, create 10 of X." The only thing I have set as perpetual in a workshop is rock crafts, at the moment. Hieronymous Alloy posted:For a starting dwarf huntsman is it better to make a marksdwarf or something else Most animals are probably faster than a Dwarf until it gets injured or tired so ranged is usually better.
