i like how the forum litterally died the day dwarf fortress 2010 came out

Wait what now? I've had my dorfs caught in the rain and they didnt melt away.

 

Its indirect.

The carp can survive on ground when it rains. O:

NOWHERE IS SAFE.

 

We need magma powered tanks to have a chance against the carp invasion D:

 

one word: UNDEAD!!!!!

yes, carps can be undead.... and those carps are not restricted by water.

 

No seriously, look at this goat fight:

The dwarf fighting it is dehydrated, starving and very tired, he'll probably die without sustaining any injuries from the fight.
I've tried dispatching additional units, but they just stand and watch the fight.

 

Boatmurdered is extremely hilarious, best reason for why a lava doomsday machine is the most important thing a fortress can have, if elephants are in the area that is. One bad thing about it is the fact that its 60 some pages long.

 

i cant setup a military at all

someone please post a step by step guide for emotionally unstable people

 

to avoid spam in this thread ill give a link.

but erm... i wont play this version of DF... ill wait for a update
there is unbalanced monsters, f.ex. undeads and colossuses are unkillable except by magma... and a lot of people have had their one year long fights with goats and other random monsters...
workers and soldiers do their duty to the point where they almost collapse (which create a lot of unhappiness... doesnt need much to make a mass tantarum to kill the fort)
and you can get migrants which are just way too skilled which reduce the fun...

(this is a migrant arriving at the very first summer)

 

A male dwarf and a female goblin in combat...

so win!

(for those who havnt used wrestlers a lot: they tend to throw off their cloth while wrestling )

 

Is that what they're calling it these days?

 

Lol Zeke, the more i read about DF the less i unterstand it, but it seems to be in that corner between weird and interesting.

Why would a dwarf with an axe be afraid of a carp?

 

Not playing until dwarf manager comes out since i'm a bitch.

 

check the df modding forum

 

carps tend to nibble the dwarf, but if a dwarf is being nibbled, he cannot swim

hence he drowns

together with the fact that somehow carps can fight with dwarfs

 

toady said somewhere that when a dwarven punch does 1-2 dmg (old system) a carp does up to a whooping 6
back then most creatures had 15 hps (os sth like that)

Why isnt the new release metioned in topic's name?!?!

How Dwarves Fish:

Fishing requires no equipment, as Fisherdwarves have developed a highly superior fishing method. When tasked, the dwarf will go out to a body of water he has picked and wade in knee deep. The dwarf then simply lowers his prestigious beard into the water and waits. Inevitably a fish will arrive, attracted by the remains of the dwarf's last meal still lodged in his beard. When the fish makes the fatal error of attempting to acquire this morsel, it is hopelessly entangled.(In some kobold societies they fish exclusively with nets made from dwarf beard hair.) The only flaw in this method is that devilish carp have learned to drag dwarves into rivers by their beard. In some instances, when the carp rips out a significant portion of the Fisherdwarf's beard, he will simply allow himself to drown. Most dwarves see this as more honorable than returning home in horrible beardless shame.


These terrible beasts challenge the mighty elephants for the post of King of Beasts. Their insidious nature and vicious strength provide them with the means to drag a fully grown dwarf into the aquatic depths, whereupon they proceed to gnaw at the struggling victim. And this is not all, for the awful carp can stare at the well-meaning fisherdwarf who for fear at these awful descendants of the Old Ones, are sent staggering back, too often straight off a cliff. To make things worse, they will taunt the hunters, who in hopes of achieving eternal glory, will unload whole quivers towards them, oblivious to nearby animals walking on land. Not all hope is lost, for the carp bears an Achilles heel, and will however die after the first winter if one is lucky enough to have a map which freezes. Otherwise, one may try draining all the rivers and lakes to air-drown these water-fiends (but be wary not to water-drown your dwarves in the process).

However... there has been a single survivor to this fearsome beast... Urist McHalfBeard the legendary Hammerdwarf.

While he did survive the battle with the beast, he lost half his pride and from that day onward he wore a steel helmet to hide his face untill the day he died.
