DWARF FORTRESS
Stryc9Fuego:
Chances are the wound he sustained is to the throat. The fox ripped his throat out. That's why all of my hunters carry spears. Stick the fox in the upper torso, piercing both lungs and his heart. He won't be hurting you any more.
Slogging around in Adventurer Mode really gives you a feel for how combat is handled behind the scenes. IMO it's the most brutal combat you'll find in a game.
Melodic:
Brutal in that the game is telling you "OH GOD YOU JUST RIPPED OUT HIS FUCKING THROAT. YOU CAN STILL HEAR RASPING SOUNDS AS HE FALLS TO THE GROUND IN A POOL OF HIS OWN BODILY FLUIDS, AMONG THEM URINE."
Also, I have a problem with stockpiles. Mainly, I can't get them big enough in a timely manner to store all of my items. For example, I brought 100 barrels of meat with me, so I assume I need at least 100 tiles of food stockpile to hold it. I don't want to waste the time of my dwarfs by building it outside, so I wait and build it inside. But 100 squares is a lot of space, so I need to make 4 5x5 rooms to handle it, which takes ages and also fills up my STONE stockpile to bursting. Then I have to cheat and make a dump for the rest of my unused equipment, and I've just completely wasted the first half of the game merely setting up rooms for stockpiles.
est:
Just set up stockpiles outside until you have room enough inside. It's not a waste of time, it's prioritising the time you have based on current circumstances. You can always de-allocate the space later when you want to use it for something else.
Melodic:
I suppose that makes sense, but it irks me that I then have to spend a couple of in-game days just transporting all of my goods inside. Oh well, you are correct.
Stryc9Fuego:
As long as your food is 1. in barrels and 2. in a stockpile, you should be fine. It won't spoil. The only thing you would need to worry about is that there are some vermin which can chew through the barrels to get at your food, like those two-legged rhino lizards.
Personally, I set up a stockpile outside for food, then when I have the space cleared out for my food & booze stockpiles, I change the outside stockpile to Refuse rather than eliminate the pile altogether, but that's just because I don't like miasma.
