I decided to play a different game to what i usually play, where i embark on a mountain, dig a hole in the ground and play from there. This time, i embarked on a flat, grassy plain that is frozen 90% of the time, and decided to dig a tower in a hole. So, as i dig another level to my underground tower, i carve another level around the tower, outside.
So far this hole, and the tower, reach down to the caverns, and i have had 4 assaults on my tower so far.
The first attack was by Goblins/Ogres etc.
The second attack happened at the same time as the first, but with centaurs, who killed the goblins and waited for me to come out (which i didnt
)
The third has just happened now, again with Goblins/Ogres/Bile Demons etc.
The fourth came in the form of a Cyclops that came 2 minutes after the Goblins came, and who got wiped out by the hordes.
Everytime the goblins have attacked and sieged, the valley which my tower resides has always been set ablaze.
So, im here just killing time (as fire kills my FPS, and DF kills my computer), and i just got a few wonderings, as it were
1. I dont think the fires were set off by my dorfs, as most of them were working inside, and any dorfs that have 'outside'jobs i made sure not to be Obsidian. Do goblins have the ability to create fire? Or am i wrong?
2. So far, with the new version of DF, i have only found 2 metals on the map - Cobaltite, and Silver. Any advice about what i can do for weapons? Armour? xD
3. actually, thats all the questions i have. I just wanted to say, Genesis is a fantastic mod. Great work, Deon.
