PEASANTS DIE AT START!!!!
« on: December 16, 2006, 08:10:00 pm »
I just started a new game. But when the game just starts i get a message saying (someone) cancels fish: too injured. Then all 7 dwarves die of frost. And a strange thing too is that non of the animals were harmed as i was JUST able to open the unit menu and it showed 7 dead peasants and 4 mules and horses and 2 dogs all alive and well. None of my dwarves had gotten the job classification as they were suppose to. WHAT JUST HAPPENED??!!

Just like you said... they died of frost, probably because the map was too cold.

Guess there needs to be a tweak to give dwarfs going to cold maps warm clothing?  Also, it looks like frost is maybe a little too deadly?  (just guessing)

Also, dogs and other animals probably survive better in cold climes, because they have fur and fat which keeps them nice and warm.

I have discovered something strange. I tried a different type of map and found out that all my dwarves were not dwarves..... i was REALLY surprised when i found out they were all dragons with the ability of half dwarf comands and half animal commands. Sadly i coulndt use them to build or anything since they said this animal cant work    :(  but i was able to form them in to a military sqaud and go off killing giant animals using their fire breath.... strange   :D

If this is the same save you had with all the messed up creatures, it's possible other information is going to cause problems as well.

I know someone around here edited their creatuers file to make all dwarves dragons on purpose.  Fun with rats in the food stores.  ;)
