Dwarf Fortress

[Monty]

It was only about five minutes into the game, and when your dwarves move at a speed to 100, they get to ledgendary mining sickeningly fast and zip by almost unseen, however the pathfinding's gets laggy at that point, but at least it stops your dwarves that are good ad swimming from boiling in lava, I've already had dwarves bring back burning clothes and igniting my entire stockpiles.

Heres a screenshot of a named (why was it named?) Giant Eagle that killed my hunter:

Gawd those things are tough.

[Anti-Cop]

They get names when they kill stuff.

[Monty]

Giant eagles have a habit of swooping down, dodging every non-ranged attack and killing half your dwarves. As shown by this image from the wiki.

Try to pick maps with as many different biomes as possible, you can get your hands on allot more stuff that way.

My current map has the first 2 levels full of white Sand, level 3 is Obsidian heaven, 4 is Limestone heaven along with some bauxite (no magma in the area so it's useless in this case), and level 5 has a nice amount of magnetite and malachite.

The map is peaceful though, maybe I should be grateful, but the last map with the giant spiders and hordes of undead was pretty intense

They are the only tones Ive come across

I found gold, native silver, native copper, kimberlite (with diamonds!), more precious stones then can be listed (including ruby and one star ruby), platinum, bismuthine, alluminum, and everything else except adamantine and nickel (loving nickel).

Also not using that "Reveal all rocks on map" application because it takes the joy out of mining and discovering stuff.

[Anti-Cop]

If you collapse an area all the rocks inside become revealed.

I know this because I collapsed several hundred units of obsidian etc into a lake.

It was a violent death for the olmmen and frogmen and the lake too.

Lol'd at carp.

Also:
My fortress seemed to 'wither away' and it's gone, any reason why?

[Anti-Cop]

What?

[dUMBELLS]

It was just like the abandoned fortress screen but instead of abandoned fortress at the top it said withered and told me that my fortress withered away.

Can someone walk me through this on MSN/Steam?

Boatmurdered.

Best.
Thing.
Ever.

[Monty]

It's dwarf bread, man. The cat peed on it, and it doubles as a lethal throwing weapon.

That makes sense. I bet it menaces with spikes of bread too.

Epic quote.

[dUMBELLS]

I already know all about the boatmurdered stuff.

This is not on discussion, but why don't we try a bloodline story? (Like Boatmurdered)
