I let about 20-25 bards stay at my fort before I realized what I was doing. Now there's a bunch of smelly humans crowding the tavern and I haven't seen a synchronized dwarf dance party in months!

Are there even any repercussions for executing your tavern patrons unceremoniously?

I'm determined to make an ice fort like I had back in the day except this time i'm going to do it without half assing it and embarking on two biomes. Since I'm going to need water to farm and also a source of wood an early priority is to dig to the caverns and hope I find an underground lake. I could bucket brigade for my farm but that'll take a lot of time and, most importantly, likely won't end up making for a nice looking farm plot. Is a 20-40 zlevel pump stack my best bet for getting irrigation set up? Is there anything more efficient since 2010 or so?

That's what I do if my embark doesn't have soil. Irrigation is usually a pain in the rear end compared to just clearing out a section of the caverns too use.

That's effectively what happens anyway this version if you try to build a large military instead of lots traps(and say yes to every petition). The ratio of non-dwarven civ bards and scholars grows and grows while the overwhelmingly dwarven military dies a death by a thousand cuts thanks to the armor bug.

I realized quick to deny every petition from bards unless they had some novelty factor (weasel man poet!). Cause otherwise you end up with tons of useless fucks that just sit around being worthless.Sankis posted:Why don't you want me to make over engineered Dwarven solutions?

Watch out for the new verison of dfhack, it's dramatically increased the number of crashes I've had, to the point where it's difficult to even just play the game.

The obvious but lame answer to werebeasts is to bar the gates and wait for it to turn human and run away. Marksdwarves or hunters should also be able to shoot its rear end before it can bite anyone. Like everything else in the game, a corridor of traps will completely nullify the threat, but don't do that.

I don't think there's anything you can really do about them if one shows up early. Even if you embarked with tons of gear for your military, with only a few soldiers someone is basically guaranteed to get bitten before it goes down. The smart thing to do would be to play it safe and wall off your fortress. Get the caravans to kill it without exposing your dwarves. Of course once you have a real fort going some dwarves being bitten isn't the end of the world. You just need to execute/isolate them before the next full moon. My current world is in the year 1020 and the all the races are kicking, though I generate large regions so its pretty much impossible for anything to die out. I haven't gotten any goblin sieges or thieves though. Only goblins I've seen have been friendly. Come to think of it I haven't seen any mega beasts either which is lame. EDIT: I don't think inexperienced archers will be able to kill it before it can get into melee range. I'm pretty sure they don't feel pain, so unless you cripple all their legs they are going to keep on going until a lucky shot blows their head off.

Internet Kraken posted:Taverns are pretty drat cool. I set one up and after sprucing it up, its pretty much constantly full. I guess people really like watching the duo act of the human dancer and weasel man poet. More importantly though its giving me free soldiers. I've had a steady stream of dwarves apply for mercenary work in my fort now, so my militia isn't completely useless. A goblin even decided to join which surprised me. I guess they're not all so evil So how do you accept petitions? Does a screen come up or something? I haven't figured it out yet. Also how do you get Monster Slayers and soldiers to show up? I've got a cavern that needs cleansing.

When there's petitions, there's a notice at the top of the screen and you hit 'P' to bring up the page for accepting/rejecting.

I usually do an even mix of vertical and horizontal but I imagine a lot of people like flat fortresses because you can see more of it at once.

I'm afraid to use huge stacks of up/down stairs because I don't understand how dwarves can fight on them without falling down them all and dieing.

Wait, what? PeridexisErrant went ahead and released a pack using the 42.02-r0 bubblegum-and-scotch-tape pre-release mess? I plonk those in this thread just as a curiosity. Really, I wouldn't expect any sort of functionality beyond stuff like prospect, reveal and minor GUI crap yet. Cranking up systems like workflow right now is just asking for trouble.

Yeah, I used exterminate to solve a bug and then immediately had to delete DFHack again because the game would invariably crash after 30 seconds. At least Dwarf Therapist is largely usable, even if non-dwarf residents are only listed as animal.Tenebrais posted:Is it possible to see the details of performances in fort mode, or is that just for adventurers?

If the king of your civ dies, who takes over the role? Is someone just elected to the position? I ask because the current king doesn't, and won't, have an heir. Also, do widowed dwarves remarry?

Our queen has been trying to help with the 100 z-levels long pumpstack. Unfortunately she's lost a goddamn component for the last 20 levels and caused construction to be cancelled.  e: Also, there was some sort of odd glitch - one moment I had a gay king who really liked billon, then I got a straight king who's into magnetite. Weird bug?
