amazingly, my dwarf received all these injuries AFTER the it cut off the goblin's leg, arm, stabbed it in the other leg (fracturing the bone), and spilled its guts. ![[image loading]](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u39/chemicals3107/monty-python-black-knight.jpg) Impressive that the Titan was decapitated in 1 blow by a bronze shield. Just think of what damage he's going to cause with his new gear. | ||

Got the file Im gonna not use graphics programs if that is alright with everyone, much prefer the original ascii. Also 162 pop! this is gonna crush my computer lol. I'll also try not to get everyone killed whilst trying to get creative with the cave dragon and giant cave spider. I'll get playing tomorrow, seeing as I should really be sleeping now EDIT: curiosity got the better of me. How small is the embark!?!? | ||

In my fortress I'm hitting 100 dwarves now, and there are A TON of idle ones.... I don't know what to do with so many! I didn't find any iron either, which sucks donkey balls. I don't really know what to do now... I don't think I want a chance at this game, I would probably kill every single dwarf in the fortress in the dumbest ways possible. | ||

I make sub categories in Dwarf Therapist to make sure I have no idlers. I have Crafters (all crafting no hauling) Peasants(hauling menial tasks) Miners (mining duh!) Farmers(farming/gathering plants) and I have a few others. Hopefully this helps | ||

If you guys have problems with idle dwarves what I usually do is dump all the stone cluttering everything into a 1x1 garbage dump and then reclaim it all for use, this makes the fort so much cleaner. Another thing I do is engrave everywhere possible, although this can be bad if you need to mine later as engravers tend to get pissed when you destroy their masterwork engraving with a pick. If idlers are still a huge problem just draft them all into the military and assign them to train 24/7. Even if you have no equipment they can train as wrestlers and get useful skills like dodging for when you can afford to equip them. | ||

In my fort I recently had a fire breathing lobster with poisonous blood that killed 5 of my best military dwarves.

My first fortress is going ok i have around 90 dwarves and stuff but the stone everywhere Is something i really dislike, I started off just storing is all in stone storage areas but this is woefully inneficient. How do I do this? I couldnt work it out. Also, why is the only metal in this damned hill gold, all i can use that for is trading for useful things and decorating, id prefer to equip my troops with someting as at the moment I have like 2 non wooden weapons. | ||

Clearly you need to build a tower composed entirely of gold. It's the dwarfy thing to do! | ||

Edit: Btw, in the rules section... that should be Ctrl+V right? Not Ctrl P? Yes, heh, it is! For those of you who are thinking about playing: You might want to consider downloading the game (the base package from the OP is out of date unfortunately, N3RV you NERD!) and opening up the save to take a look around. The ascii graphics will screw with you a little bit, but just press k and use the arrow keys and the < > keys to move around and between Z levels. Pressing k lets you see whatever is on the tile your cursor is on. You can use v to look at people and buildings and see what they're doing/making and then just follow the instructions on the screen to see more info, like that dwarf's current thoughts and fears and religion and family and wishes, etc. Thats probably one of my favorite parts, just looking at dwarves. If any of you ever played rollercoaster tycoon, where you could look at guests' favorite rides and what they've done in the park so far, its similar to that except WAY WAY more involved (this includes stuff like their favorite drink, favorite color, and a brief psychological writeup). | ||
