Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire

lol

what the hell are kobolds?

Tiny walking humanoids that steal stuff in fortress mode.

Due to their thieving nature, bandit groups composed of kobolds can have anything the other races have. It's a real nightmare when you get ambushed by kobolds wearing steel armor.

can I blow a huge hole in the ground in this game and throw stuff into lava?
can I strap explosives to a cat and kick it through a window?

Not yet, but you can butcher a cat and turn it into biscuits or dump a kitten down a hole full of nasties and watch it get ripped limb from limb.

Are there mods for it?

Well, due to how the game is made, you can't actually edit most of the "core" features (you can't create tile-destroying bombs, for example) but you can add new items, reactions, animals, etc. etc.

A awesome thing to do is to set the cat's boiling point down to zero and then embark with a army of cats.

I heard a story about how someone set the internal body temperature of cats really high, and then filled a room with them. So it got really hot.

Hnnng, I got a companion at the very beginning, only to have her killed by a goddamn Milkfish.

Holy mother of god blood/steam cloud.

This thread should be dedicated to helping new people learn or helping in general.

When you get to a point in adventure mode, you are able to take especially difficult quests. These are given by lords and you can only do one at a time. I was playing and my friend was playing at a computer next to me. I had done about twice as many quests as he had and was a hero of all the land. We both decided to start doing these more advanced quests. On his first quest he gets sent to kill a dragon. Then he got to kill some creepy spider thing. All of my super heroic quests involved me killing bandits. It was super lame because I wanted to be an hero.

The most "dangerous" quest I've ever been sent on was killing a minotaur. I wandered the labyrinth for about a day with 10 companions, they slowly vanished. I left with none. My guy stepped out of the labyrinth with not only a minotaur's tooth but also PTSD.

Holy Christ, loving elephants take forever to kill.
The stomach, and lung are torn, holy jesus how are you still alive?!

No, adventure. They take forever to hunt down to.
