I Need Some Advice on What to Do.
« on: November 28, 2010, 08:02:28 pm »
So, I had 16 goblins attack, 15 macemen, 1 lasher on a rat (a seige). It really suprised me. I stationed my soldiers of 17 infront of my gate, and I watched the goblins kill the poor innocent dwarves fishing, then when they reached the gate, I lost 3 of my menI only have 6 soldiers left. , they lost 4. I lost my militia commander, militia captain, 1 axedwarf, and 1 axelord, aswell as many recruits
Then another 6 were trapped in cages
This leaves 6 left, but my civilians are going crazy, seriously.
The 6 left includes 5 macemen and 1 lasher on a giant rat

I dont even know if I should open my bridges, afraid my civilians will pour out and get killed.
---
TO BE CONTINUED
Should I open the gate and murder these goblin scum, or wait and regroup?

Wait and regroup, no point in sending them to their deaths.

Clearly, your failure is due to the lack of magma.

Just send the civilians in. They should have been first anyways.

well ive went from 90 dwarves to 31. If these goblins ever leave, I may actually live.

Do they ever leave by theirselves?

Dwarfpile?   I don't know you may already have triggered the cataclysmic !Tantrum Spiral!

 On it is an Image of !Clowns!, The !Clowns! are having !Fun!.

Try building a waterfall or lines of statues, both would be best.  Reorganize your stockpiles, your going to want to wait them out, and happiness should be of your utmost concern.

Exerpt from townbrush.txt by Internet Kraken:

"Nobody wants to live in Townbrush, and for good reason. Almost everyone that has come to Townbrush has been eaten, stabbed, crushed, drowned, hacked, incinerated, or beaten to death with an octopre skin backpack. When we're not under siege, we're being attacked by Forgotten Beasts. And when we're not being attacked by Forgotten Beasts, there's probably a zombie whale crushing someone to death in the dining room."

From what I gather, the answer to any question that starts with "I need some advice on..." is always "Magma." Seriously I don't know why anyone even bothers posting questions. We need a FAQ. It would be pretty small. One word, in fact.

So I just started playing dwarf fortress and I love it, but I need to know how to assign labors.
magma
ok, yes, I know everyone loves magma, but I need to cut down trees right now, how do I enable wood cutting?
magma
I... I really don't think that's going to help in this situation...
magma
alright, stop, I just need to-
magma; always magma.

Huochong sounds like what you hear when a ninja hits somebody with a frying pan.
