As part of the peace terms, you are given elven sacrifices to Armok. When the greater caravans return to the forests with black stone wagons,  the elves know that more young elven men have died for your fortress.

Now build a labyrinth. But watch for elven Theseus.

Hi again,

1. How can I make bridges which are only attached by the 2 extremities? Let's say I start from a cliff and want to pave my way into the air, what command should I use?

2. I'm sorry to ask that here, and I used the search button, but I can't for the life of me find again the thread dealing with 'exchange your world gens parameters' where ppl posted cool thing, like hellish world, etc. (hell, cool, haha I'm so funny)

3. I found a good spot in my world, but I would like to know where in the world I'm, I did not make a screenshot before embarking, how can I get this kind of info now?

In the DATA folder, under INIT, there is a worldgen.txt file. It holds saved  worldgen perameters. If these include specfic seed #s, then they will gen the same world every time... unless you change the raw files, in which case, adding that extra whisker to you cats will cause oceans to drain, and mountains to rise.

you can export the specific worldgen info for any world you create, right after genning it, or somewhere in legends mode (I always export data after genning). This data includes a world map, and a .txt file containing all the data you need to copy/paste into the worldgen file to add that world. That's how people get/use the seeds for cool worlds.

You're probably thinking of the "Worldgen cookbook" thread.

I think all you can do is make a backup of your save game and then abandon the fort. The next step will then be going to fortress mode again and reclaiming the fort.

Things I *think* I know:
-Cats/dogs breed via spores
-They will NOT breed (but can give birth) while caged.

Question:
-Will they breed if in restraints?

[Odd!x]

yes

[Flaede]

But wait!

It gets even better.

[EDIT] except I cannot find the recent fortress posted that had a beautiful example of wild animal breeding pens. I thought it was called Matchstrikes, but the search function sez no results.

[vorpal+5]

thanks for the replies, I was indeed looking for the thread in the forum

What about (1) how can I make passage ways into the air, literally?

[Odd!x]

I have my farm plots set to be seasonally fertilized, but every time I look at them, there's been NO fertilizing done!  have I made a ton of potash for naught?

[El-Ravager]

Is it an undergorund farm? in that case it needs to be irrigated before it can be fertilized, even if you buildt it in a sand/soil layer.
