i'v held a sword with both hands but it was cus i grabed the weapon with an empty hand even tho it was in my other hand cus it was stabbed into a mob. almost the same thing. also that attack roll reduction puts the two handed weapons below the best one handed weapons.

dont think the grabbing actually counted as multigrasp as it just said i was holding a steel longsword in my right hand and a steel longsword in me left instead of just saying multigrasp on it

[onarum]

Can you actually multigrasp two handers? if so how? I tried with a halberd but when I pick it up it just gets held by one hand, even when both hands are free when grabbing it

[Xotano]

it should do it automatically, travel and move a space and re enter, your off hand has to be empty as well

Press g.
"What would you like to pick up?"
a- ignite strawberries (S)
b- ignite Acacia (NW)

Well I would like some strawberries. That sounds delicious!
Press b.
Watch in horror as ground catches on fire.


I thought 'g' was pick things up or "Get"? What's happening. Everytime I press G there is a choice to ignite something.

[SirAaronIII]

While it IS the key to pick things up, that's only when there's something under you to pick up. If there are trees or shrubs in adjacent tiles, then you'll also get the option to ignite them. Currently, it's not possible to cut trees or gather shrubs in adventure mode.

[agvkrioni]

Hmmm.... Doesn't look like these strawberries are ripe enough.
I guess I'll have to burn them.

I'm trying to build a dungeon for Adventure mode in Fortress mode, and I'm curious: can I lock a goblin in a room and have it stay there in Adventure mode, or will it get scattered about? How about caged animals, do they remain in place? Will levers reset? Will lead bins really ensure that the goods inside of them remain in place? I know traps don't work on adventurers, but how about pressure plates?

I'll be playing again as soon I get everything downloaded and remember what the bloody heck I'm doing, but before I start there was one thing I was interested in.

If I play on a standard generated world with no previous DF-mode fortresses or anything, what sort of items will I be able to find? Will I be limited to stealing crappy copper stuff off people, or can clownite items or similar be found? Should I create a fortress first, stuff it full of loot, then abandon it and hope I can find it in adventurer mode? If I was doing that, is there any way I can get dwarfs to make non-dwarf-sized armour that will actually fit?

[TheFlummox]

You can edit in large size armour and clothing in the raws. Should be a modding guide around on either the Fortress or Gameplay forums. I'm considering doing the same thing so I can build an adventurer's dungeon and stuff it full of goodies.

So I found a bunch of wool and leather clothes plus an iron cap. Told my adventurer to wear them using W. Now when I go into battle and choose to target an enemy, I get the option to strike with about 30 articles of clothing. What?

did you by any chance removed old clothing to put the new ones on? because the remove command will put the items you remove on your hands, that's why you get the option to use them in combat.

Just drop any items you have in any of your hands that is not a shield or weapon, or use the (p)ut away command.

I thought you could wear multiple hand, head, chest and leg/feet articles at once? Like cloth mittens under leather gloves, a wool cap under an iron cap, etc?
So I have to drop everything I wear first, then put on what I want to wear (after taking it from my bag) and then pick up the old stuff? If I remove it from my bag, any item is automatically in my hands?

[Darion]

What might be that?

(I was killing a night creature, thought it was it, but when i killed the night creature, it still came on my screen.)
Nvm, It was a minotaur, as i had an unprepared adventurer, I managed to trap it on a dry murky pool, and then i proceeded to punish it to death.
Lucky me!

Question:

I never seem to get warlords, kings, or other leaders, only demonic law givers in fortresses ( human ).  This is vanilla, and my world gen usually only lasts about 10 years.  Will increasing it allow more leaders? 

[Gizogin]

well i didnt get an answer so i took to testing it, took 10 dwarfs wielding two handed swords with iron helms in there hands and 10 without iron helms in there hands and the ones without the iron helms ALWAYS won mostly unscathed, did it like 3 times

Have you considered the possibility that the dwarves with the helms were trying to use the helms to attack?  That would make a considerable difference.
