[FallenAngel]

Started a 0.40.05 fort with the updated-for-DF2014 Chaos Theory as Risens, and one of the miners wants to RULE THE WORLD. As does the craftsman. Everyone else wants to become a legendary warrior, which won't be hard to do.

[sculleywr]

Am I doing something wrong? My fort is worth over 630k in dorfbucks and has been proclaimed a barony. But I haven't seen hide nor hair of any goblin baddies! Where are they?

I am surprised that the game didn't run out of ram and crashed. What kind of proc do you have? You listed its speed, but not its name. Of which I could use to find its architecture and compare it to my proc.

Ah Sandy Bridge, so my proc isn't that much faster in architecture. I am using a Ivy Bridge I5 3570k. No doubt that it will still take a few days for it to be done...

What age(as in Myth/Legends/Heroes) is the world at currently?

[flabort]

I haven't seen anyone in my fort with a dream other than Raising a Family.

Meanwhile, TWO in game years since I dug the magma tunnels for my forges and pierced the volcano, enough of it flowed under the forges to light them. I guess that's what I get for digging a fancy pattern instead of a couple straight lines.

4250 bolts in this fortress and my team of Urist McIdiots would rather bash things with their crossbows...why???

Lack of quivers? Not assigned the ammunition, or not enough ammunition assigned to the squad? Not smart enough to equip themselves?

[Moonshadow101]

You know those "Last Bastion of Dwarfkind" fortresses, where the civ is dead?

My current fort was made from a healthy civ, but I'm rapidly approaching one of those. My fort hasn't even been declared a Barony yet, but I have two barons and a duchess because the rest of my civ is being slaughtered by a team effort of Elves and Goblins. Nobility is falling left and right off-screen, and their heirs happen to be in my fort. The last liason update was more than half a page of "The latest news from <site> is that they were conquered by <The damn elves>," repeated over and over for different sites.

This is weird as hell, but kinda awesome.

[Chevaleresse]

After two forgotten beasts, impaled babies, roasted tiger cubs, roasted elves, more roasted elves, a dead diplomat, a miner somehow encasing herself in obsidian (SHE WAS LEGENDARY AND ONE OF THE FIRST OF HER KIND ASDKSFIUDKH), and one particularly irate mother/smith/legendary swordmaster removing my engraver's right arm, the fortress seems to have stablized. A couple people are pissy but they don't look like they're at risk of tantruming. The danger room has been rebuilt and the coffin industry is thriving. Strand extraction has begun again, and I'm thinking of making the minecart-based adamantine duplication industry an integral part of the fortress, both as a way to outfit my (all male this time) military and train up furnace operators and metalsmiths. Still trying to find a way to get tame GCS to spray webs on my cage traps. The engraver has started carving pictures of herself engraving. I don't know what to do about this, but according to legends masterwork carvings are a pretty big deal; why else would they fill five screens with it?

[ICBM pilot]

I started a fort in an area that had no weapon grade metals other than copper, I only eight migrants over the course of a year, and when I finally hit adamantine in late Autumn  of the first year nobody in my military would pick up the masterwork adamantine short sword my weaponsmith somehow made dispite having no experience, I lost about three dwarves to magma, and when I reached hell all of my dwarves ran away and climbed trees.

[varnish]

My soldiers are so terrible and their weapons so terrible that they keep passing out while trying to kill an unconscious enemy.



Note: I modded in a yeti civilization as I wanted to be attacked by yetis.

[Spehss _]

Part of the problem is probably the yeti's helmet being so goddam thick because yetis are so probably goddam humongous. Huge armor proportions can make just large leather clothing better than you'd think.

[varnish]

Interesting. That is some good information. Going to make some adjustments to the Yeti's equipment.

In the end, the yeti woke up, bashed my militia commander's skull in, then got knocked out again before finally, finally dying.

I can confirm this as a (gold helmet) on a white tigerman in masterwork was sufficient to stop an iron-grade +warhammer+. On a dwarf the same sort of helmet would have probably failed miserably.

[Getix Kain]

I'm trying to understand why Urist McBrewer&Cook won't use rock pot in 40.05 to store prepared food and meat..
