DWARF FORTRESS

<< < (9/51) > >>

Stryc9Fuego:
As far as rooms in soil... why not just dig new rooms in rock, and move them down there? You can keep the dirt rooms for after the dwarven economy kicks in. A lot of dwarves will need low rent housing.

My biggest suggestion for your early fortress is a large area dug out and set up with beds (about 20) and set up as a barracks. Dwarves will still get an unhappy thought for not having a PROPER room, but it's not as bad a hit as sleeping in dirt/on rocks. It also allows you to concentrate on more important works projects... it comes in handy for the inevitable immigration waves... plus the fact that once you have a standing army, they'll need a barracks.

As far as the Trading System, the merchants who come to your fort are going to want a profit. Think about what they had to go through to get there! A good rule of thumb is to give them a 50% profit. This usually makes 'em happy. Also, if you want them to bring lots of goods, offer a tribute to that civilization. The next caravan will usually be larger.

Traps are the best answer to any problems your fortress would have with wildlife. Start off with easy-to-build one shot traps (stonefall + cage) then graduate to self-resetting, but tough to build, weapon traps. As far as getting your dwarves in the fortress, there's the [o]rder for them to stay indoors, but the order is still bugged; this tends to make them just gather at the entrance. You would also need to lock your front doors.

Weapon: it sounds like you need to get busy making more! Seeing as how your identified threat is a Kobold, though, I'd just activate the person nearest the little bugger and let him wrestle him to death. He's just got a knife! I had a dwarf get stabbed in the head with the knife stuck in his head and it hardly showed as more than a bruise.

est:
One of my peasants tried to wrestle a fox and died.  Poor bastard.

est:
Well, to be fair the game said he was injured by a fox, then he suffocated to death.

I like to think he tried to wrassle it, lost, then jumped into a pond to drown himself rather than live with the shame.

Inlander:
Are you sure the fox didn't jam it's bushy, luxurious tale down the dwarf's stubby throat?

Them foxes, they's cunning.

est:
They's sure is
