I restated a new fort near a Tower, this time outside of a Haunted area. I was just going about my business building a curtain wall, and then another, and then an extention when suddenly a Human Hunter Necromancer appeared in the doorway and walked inside. Everyone panicked, except for the dogs which viciously attacked him. I didn't even realize this was happening until teeth exploded out all over the entryway. Well anyway, he died, does this mean the necromancer threat is now over? Just like that?

So what am I supposed to do if a Dark Gnome zombie attacked my fort and his head was cleaved off and flew 5 Z levels atop a tree and scares everyone as they try to leave the fort?

Well after trying for a while in frustration to cut the tree down, and with dwarves constantly running to it and fleeing from it over and over again, I decided to undermine it. I dug up all of the roots thinking that would bring the tree down but of course not. So I build a ramp up thinking that would bring it down and that didn't either. However, during a zombie peragrine falcon attack which left one dwarf braindead another dwarf must have hacked at the tree from the beneath and brought it down. The head was seemingly crushed in the process.

I have read as much as I can and I cannot get my dwarves to wear armor. I have them in a squad, I have them active, I have armor beyond measure in a stockpile in their own barracks, I have their uniform set, and I have them told to equip it. But they still refuse. What am I missing? e: I also toggled "remove" and "wear over" and it did nothing

I've always made stone pots to store drinks. They're cheaper than making barrels and a good use for junk stone bits.

MrWillsauce posted:My military wears armor just fine I could not for the life of me get it to work. The new patch fixed it supposedly so I guess it doesn't matter now. I had one dwarf get stuck in a tree but that was probably due to the zombie attack and zombie head ending up on top. The step ladder remained somewhere he could have reached and I built several staircases that he kept swinging away from like a gibbon until he finally decided to stay still.

Blackray Jack posted:How soon do they tend to arrive? I also had first year kobold and goblin thieves, ugh. You only build on the surface using walls and poo poo if you want a challenge. You should dig (down or into a hill) and get a raising bridge built and linked to a lever that you can uset to block off the entrance if you are attacked. The thieves arent anything to worry or care about unless you leave all your poo poo laying around outside even a single dog near your entrance will run them off.

Is anyone else having trouble with zombies? During a necromancer siege around 40 zombies will pile around an enemy and refuse to attack it. They just follow it around for an eternity and the creature steps randomly in every direction. This has happened in two different forts now (with a kangaroo and a hamster man) and it is pretty irritating. I tried sallying some dwarfs outside to break it up but they were killed and the zombies returned to their holding pattern around the hamster man.

Which sprite pack is this? I like it a lot more than my current one. Also after seeing this I suppose I should redesign my shamecube dining hall.

Mad Pills posted:I have noticed my military dwarves absolutely refuse to equip any gauntlets or boots, even when I select a specific boot or gauntlet. Is this a known issue? I have nothing but constant problems with equipping my dwarfs. I had to reform my entire military because there was a squad that just refused to wear pants. In my last fight someone's hand got stabbed off and surprise, 75% of my military isn't wearing the gauntlets they are supposed to.

Filthy Monkey posted:I haven't played in ages, but suddenly have the urge to dwarf again. I was reading the wiki, and the fact that pigs apparently don't need pastures interested me. I've decided to found a fortress named "Dinnerfork, the Eternal Wonders of Pigs". I am spending a bunch of embark points on 10 sows and 1 boar. Any fun ideas for a pig fortress? I definitely want to get a meat and milk industry up. I just did this yesterday although I was much more conservative with 6/1. I regret it greatly.

Has anyone found any good evil(lol) embarks? Ones that combine a good challenge and peril without instant death? It is really frustrating me trying to find one. My last embark was in an area of 75% terrifying biome and the only creatures to come though were some peach faces keas.

In my quest to find a challenging embark I chose the middle of a terrifying forest. Eyestalks grow out of the ground and horrifying mucus rains down from the sky. Immediately after the embark I was greeted with a message that a Roc had made this area his lair. Not surprisingly within moments of unpausing my woodcutter was killed when a log fell on him (it must have fallen atop another tree) and I have lived in peace ever since.

I noticed the red "mangled beyond recognition" and then speedy complete recovery in my last fort where it was raining horrifying mucus. I understand the red recovering but when it states mangled beyond recognition also I would have expected a lasting effect. It was nearly instant when they got out of the rain and there was no medical care, only despair.

No matter what settings I tried, how many times I reformed a squad, or toggled orders etc, a couple gently caress faces would always be running around missing a few pieces of armor they were told to have. It is very frustrating and I can't wait to become enraged again the next time I play.

PublicOpinion posted:There really isn't anything enemies can actually do to the map unless DFHack really is getting crazy. Did you cut down trees above that area? Cutting down trees above mined out space can leave holes in the ground (on the bug tracker). I had this happen to me. I build a defense at the top of a hill with fortifications and firing positions but I wasn't aware of the new Tree Rules until gobbos started jumping down into my farms and pig pens. The person I mentioned it to thought I was just a retard who left an obvious hole but then it happened to them the following day and they lost their fort too.

I think you can just designate Down Stair on the top level, go down 1z level and begin a u/d stair, and scroll down to the bottom to finish the designation and it will span all the way down in 1 command. Water should flow down stairs fine and they will have no problem digging it and walking out.
