#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

Are you meant to be able to butcher goblin remains? Also I think someone else mentioned this but turtle shells are being tanned into leather.

On the topic of guilds - if you're having difficulty getting dwarves to join a guild, check they have the appropriate labour enabled. I can't remember what they are off the top of my head, so it maybe worth checking in the reactions_masterwork raw if it's not in the manual. Also only regular caste dwarves can join guilds in 1.4, may no longer be the case in 1.4.1.

I'm still planning to do some info charts, so maybe I'll do one on guilds. Not for a while though.

[slay_mithos]

shell tanned?
That explains why one of my moody couldn't get his hands on one even by having an indoor place I store them and plenty turtle cleaned already...

I dunno if anyone else has noticed this:

Automaton ambushes give the "Curse all friends of nature!" message, kind of strange.
I've got an "Apostel of Armok" hanging around outside the fortress. All else aside, it's "Apostle".

meph may i suggest not giving dwaves any kind of fire mages/necromancers/etc etc. aka ones that kill your dwarfs as much as the enemy.

i do like the idea of having one caste that trains in a schools of magic, makes it so the player chooses. and you can keep the dangerous casters.


it just that right now i have to either atom smash druids, or send them against an 100 strong siege of humans... which one of them survived btw.

he killed the human who ran out in front, raised him, the two of them killed another 3, who got raised as well. then they slaughtered one other, who got all of his pieces raised.
so to sum it up, if a druid strikes first, he strikes last.

alright, got a golem heart form the dark elves, yay!

readsomewhere. makem into a squad and you can tell them where to go.. excellent...

went ahead and made 10 mithril golems.. ready for some head smashing...

oh .. -another- wave of dark stranglers... go on boys! (and probably girls!) skillless immigrants.. new defense!!

enemy breaches the edge of my fortress.. my golems scatter to the wind leaving trails of urine and the stench of cowardice

>> 1.41 version... - doing a .. lets check and see if someone else posts the same problem, and possibly a solution!.. cause ive always wanted to make golems (not cowards.. got plenty of those in the fort) to guard restricted areas...

Same thing here ... my golem runs back to mommydwarf as soon as the enemy shows up....

So, I'm not quite sure if this has already been brought up before, but I found something rather odd just now. A group of 7~ Armored horses came onto the map..They also all had limbs and body parts smashed open. It's rather odd, and I'm not sure if it is supposed to do that.

[Fairin]

im starting to think its because they're just transformed regular dwarves, and the "station here" is just a bug that works in our favour, they're not really assigned to the military in the sense that military dwarves are bloodthirsty omg a fox RAAAAAAARRRGH!!!

maybe a transformation to make them a pet.. to train for war would be better, heard somewhere you could make pets into skillable yet (tame)

gonna try - making their squad active  training 1/10 max and see if i can get them to become a golem while -active- duty

^ no difference. just 2 more wasted dwarves, well i guess some creativity .. chain them behind a long line of traps.. Enemy lures!, Even better than stone decoys!

i have a better idea meph.. lets rename the golem function into "create sissy golem" for now... >

[slay_mithos]

For the golems, it has been said to chain them, they will fight if cornered.
Didn't try them myself because they basically cost way too much for my little forts, but it sure would be good to have them act a little more like turrets or war animals?

Speaking about animals, the "spirit" thing the elves bring, some have a job, at quite a high level, but is it possible to make them actually use that job?
I had a weaver, and I didn't develop that branch at the moment, so I thought I could use him to make cloth, but he never did a damn thing.

Just had something a bit odd with the Drow caravan. It was at the depot which is outdoors and I kept getting ambush messages although there were no enemies around, my combat reports just showed 'Drow Merchant used cloud of darkness', which I could see when I zoomed in. I have my squads training around the depot so they would have spotted anything wandering around I think.

Looks like those run from some battlefield. That'd be my guess.

I am at this very moment sieged by zombie wrestlers riding war raptors.
Talk about odd

EDIT: Wow there are many of them. And they are as smart as bread. ran right into my kill box ... great shooting practice ... but i sure as hell wont open my gates ...

[AndyDish]

With all the economy things you have added (guilds, better trade, more nobles) are you going to try to fix and eventually re-add the dwarven economy? That would be awesome!

[SecondBreakfast]

So how does one employ hellfire turrets in a manner that doesn't incinerate all topside activity? I thought I was protected behind my schist bridges but apparently schist bridges burn quite cheerfully. As does... well... everything, really. What building materials are resistant to hellfire?
