It's steel. I would say yes.

[Jacob/Lee]

Do adamantine golems drop statues like bronze collossi?

A massive facepalm on my part, I thought orcs weren't trap immune so I put lots of traps in my entrance and had no soldiers. The orcs came, watched them trample the traps without dying.

They proceeded to obliterate every dwarf in the fortress.

Got a really annoying bug here. My military dwarves seem to be unable to pick up weapons and other equipment such as shields. They'll walk over to, say, a battle axe with "Pickup Equipment", then walk a few tiles away from it, then walk to it again. If there's more than one trying to pick it up, they'll take turns trying to wrestle it from the ground.

Is this some sort of new Merlin-inspired feature ("he who manages to pull the battle axe off of the wagon so that we can reclaim this bloody forts while the Orcs stand around as "Friendly" will be the Dwarf empire's new king"), or have I installed the mod wrong or something?

walk a few tiles away from it, then walk to it again.

interesting..i had same problem with MINERS and some kind of pickaxe after joining some mods(including ddwarfier, civ overhaul, and some other ones), reedit of that "weapon" weigh, or size(if i remember right) helped(imho weapon was too HEAVY, or too big, or sth). I may be wrong, though.

upd: mattock, yes.

Check to see if the dwarf in question has anything in his/her hands already, particularly if we're talking about axe/hatchet/pick for mining or woodcutting. I had the same thing when one of my dwarfs had either something in his hand, possibly a shield, and was set to use a mattock with both hands - he just kept running back to pick up the mattock, then ran a couple of steps and turned around again.

[Safe-Keeper]

Hmm, possibly. Made a backup of the fortress I really want to continue playing on, so maybe I'll try to get back into it now. The hostiles just standing around and showing up as Friendly in the beginning is a stock bug/feature, I know, so I guess we'll just have to wait for Toady to address that.

Just lost another fortress to an orc attack... I'm thinking of modding them out, because it seems the only way to defeat them is to make it physically impossible for them to reach you (locking doors, raising drawbridge over moat, etc.), and that breaks their AI, making them too easy. I can pelt them with crossbow bolts, throw war dogs at them or hit them with swords and battle axes of steel, but I never seem to cause more than a single broken limbs. Managed to mangle some organs and whatnot of one or two of them today, which was a step forward -- guess I'll need to step up the siege engine production. I miss the old goblin sieges.

A brighter point is that since I've taken to always spend points on giving all my starting dwarves a Proficient skill in Swimming, I managed to killed a dozen carp, plus a couple other fishies . My swordswarf would see the little beings as a welcome break from the boring routines of military life and gladly jump into the river for then to swim around with his sword, chopping the little buggers to pieces, for then to climb back up on shore.

Drowning trap work, but that's a big abuse of the AI.

Go into the raws and edit the progression for orcs to something higher. I set them to 4, which is generally after the Baron arrives which is long enough to get decent defenses and a military going.

[Safe-Keeper]

Feeling pretty stupid here, but... exactly where in the raws are the orcs?

Damnit, never mind, told the search companion to search file name instead of content  .

[nbws_tempest]

is there goign to be a new dig deeper released for 2010? im reading the release information for 2010 and it seems pretty major unfortunately

[Greendogo]

You should call it DF 0.31.01 instead of 2010, since we should (hopefully) be getting many more updates and releases throughout 2010.

[ungulateman]

I'll be calling it v31. More convenient.

[crazz2323]

Hmm this mod sounds great. I would love more of a challenge but DF 2010 is where it's at so any word yet on a 2010 release of Dig Deeper? This mod with DF 2010 and Mike Mayday's tileset = happiness!

I'm working on the first major release for DF2010...  It really did mess up a lot of the RAWS so it's taking me longer than expected... Unfortunately it will take me a long time and a lot of releases to build things like the creature list all the way back up... But we'll get there in the end... So far the alpha has 293 additions and counting.

[Landstradd]

You sir, are a god. Any chance of a time frame for the alpha?
