so the place I set up at that had made me itch to know what gobbers were has thrown me a curve ball. Still haven't seen a gobber and still am wondering what they are. but I have had 2 years strait of seiges. back to back, only one infected civ survived world gen. I ran out of ammo at seige number 3 and had only just gotten the well up before it all started.

 Im sort of annoyed with myself because I usually refuse to lock myself in but it sort of has become a requirement for this run. I just cant wait till my meadows saplings can provide me with some more wood pellets and/or my horse gives me more foals.

Should I make the fortress underground or is it possible to live on the surface?

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

its quite possible to live on the surface, but its also much more difficult I found.. simply because the zombies all destroy structures, so you should start by carving out a ditch, also known as "The ultimate defense"
Bonus points if you make a real defense system using pumps and magma.

They destroy structures? Like Walls and Floodgates?

Gobbers are the web making zombies- their silk has no value so you can buy it at embark or from traders for free.

Regarding the destroying structures- anything made from the constructions menu (eg walls or stairs) and upright bridges (I'm not sure if they can be destroyed in other circumstances) cannot be destroyed. Floodgates, doors and the like can be destroyed by building destroying creatures.

Even though I'm still rather new to Dwarf Fortress, I love the mod. How can it to look like the pictures that Shintaro Fago have put up?

just normal buildings and workshops. so only your walls, ramps, forts, stairs will be safe

He's using one of the many visualizers available for dwarf fortress.

BTW noticed that wild undead still don't attack, give them [liKES_FIGHTING], that's what makes imps agressive even though they are smaller then dwarves.

Great mod thouygh!!

[Supercharazad]

Personally, I think the mod is great but I have one problem:

FLIES!
How do I get rid of the live flies that appear when I sift through the garbage?

[kilakan]

well my guys always eat them

[mrbobbyg]

Wow!

I really like this.  First fort where I've just hit play now and let the cards fall as they may.. Felt it made more sense.

[mrbobbyg]

Ugh....great game, I really want to play it, I'm only getting 20 fps on a brand new machine that plays 6x6 dig deeper fine....

[kilakan]

where the heck did you embark!?!??!

[rawr359]

SO. I've noticed that in adventure mode, there are only air rifles, no guns. Is there a way to make or procure firearms without any sort of fortress mode stockpile?
