This is normal. Just ignore it.

im writing to ask if theres a lull or pause in ambushing between when the sieges start?

you probably should upgrade to .18 to get proper sieges. Or play fortress defense mod.

grr i am in .18, and i may have to look into that mod because what i enjoy most in DF is defensive strategy and all that business and whatnot

That's interesting, can you check if the goblin civ is extinct for whatever reason?

Ok, I pressed tab, and found they are just cave fish and lobsters, I zoomed to them, and they are about 12 z-levels under my mine, but why are they there, in stacks or 4-12, already prepared, and within 10 squares of each other?

They belong to the underground civilization.

im not certain how to check if they're extinct but in the civilization page there i a P next to them, as opposed to a W for war i assume.... hmm

a dwarf starved to death, it is an important dwarf (my only master warrior atm)  and i just implemented the mod for nerve healing, how can i make a dwarf feed them asap and another give them water?

[ltprifti]

different qurestion, figured that one out, but i have a problem, the dwarf is too far gone and dies of starvation shortly after i unpause from load, is there any way to mod the game to increase amount of time it takes to starve and dehydrate to death or stop that from killing dwarves?

Have one or two dwarves standing by with all labors except those oriented with helping patients disabled.

Find the creatures_standard notepad file under DF -> Raws -> Objects, then search for "creature tokens" on the wiki. After some research, you should be able to edit dwarves so that they do not need food.

what .txt file would it be under?  i am having a hard time finding it but im gonna keep looking

That one, I think.

i've looked where you said and all through that file cant find anything that would have to do with food or eating or drinknig

[Urist Imiknorris]

Just put [NO_EAT][NO_DRINK] somewhere in the dwarf's creature definition.

Open up the creature_standard txt. files in the above mentioned directory. The first creature on the list is "dwarf." In the second main body of text you should see this:

[INTELLIGENT]
[TRANCES]
[BENIGN]
[CANOPENDOORS]
[PREFSTRING:beards]

Add [NO_EAT] and (if you don't want to have to worry about thirst, either) [NO_DRINK] to that list, so that it looks like this:

[INTELLIGENT]
[TRANCES]
[BENIGN]
[NO_EAT][NO_DRINK]
[CANOPENDOORS]
[PREFSTRING:beards]

That should do the trick. Enjoy, pumpkin-eater.

thanks, i have three goblin ambushes on the edge of the map, however even though i have dwarves outside my fortress cutting wood they go no farther than their spawn points, how do i entice them to come closer and enter my fort?
