Trying out hermit mode. 1st try had the hermit manage to teleport on top of the wall with no way down. 2nd try had the hermit dodge into a pond and drown. Doing my 3rd try now.

Well on my warlock mode i embarked next to a frozen beach but when the water began to thaw the waves went in down my stair shaft. Now the bottom is flooded and i don't know what to do. Is there a Dfhack command that removes liquids. I would post screenshots but print screen doesn't seem to work on dwarf fortress.

Skeletons don't drown, can you send a miner down to dig a drain?

There is a command, but I'd have to read the dfhack readme file to remember it.

Well i managed to drain it by myself thankfully

Well you could but normal DF rules normaly have miners not go swimming to dig due to "dangerous terrain" even if it is not a threat. However submerging the miner would  change that rule i think.

Already tried it myself, submerged miners won't move unless they have an immediate route for escape. I was trying to exploit a ironbone skeleton's lack of breathing and magma-proofness to carve out new magma channels on-demand but he just froze up until I drained it away again.

Trying to do selective breeding but DFHack's "rename" won't work

in my human fort, i just spent a whole year trying to get my humans to stop drinking and build the frikkin basement. not sure how but a single dingo somehow beheaded 2 of my swordsmen. cant wait for sieges!

And there goes the second human fort I loose to freaking fire birds.

Who said that serene biomes were supposed to be the safer biomes of all?
Those freaking beasts are way too destructive to belong to serene biomes, I wasn't even doing anything to them the first time, and tried to hunt them with bows the second time. Doesn't do much to them, and when they get angry, they shoot a single blast of fire that will roast your entire military (and possibly a lot of civilians, along with your various stockpiles)

Okay, it's a lot easier to set up firearms squads in orc mode than in dwarf mode. No need for steel components. Why is that anyway? Why can't dwarves make guns out of brass/whatever?

Theme-wise I don't think orcs care about structural integrity.

OMG how slow are these giants?!

Edit: It's been so long that I actually had to expand my alert burrow to the stockpile so my civillians didn't starve. On the plus side, steel weapons and target practice once they FINALLY reach the cages.

Also, How boss are masterwork bone arrows? They're tearing everything up

I think this deserves a second post.

I'm sorry... but in WHAT MANNER. COULD GIANTS. POSSIBLY BE TRAP-AVOID?!

They can step over them?

[bennerman]

I always thought of them being hidden in the ground with a pressure pad, and then springing up when it's activated
