New Dwarf Fortress topic

[FF]

I'm hooked onto this. The guides weren't kidding about the steep learning curve.

Is it possible to have a game where we don't actually fight anything?

Yeah you can settle on an island and there shouldn't be any kobolds or goblins invading. The worst you'll have to deal with is those loving monkeys.

At worst, skeletal elephants, mandrills and sharks.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about the sharks.

Then again, bugs making aquatic populations unable to get onto the play area mean you can only encounter them when you get into a random wildlife battle after stepping off an ocean in adventure mode.

There is one map that had all the goblins stuck behind a mountain chain in the upper left of the map, so the rest of the world is goblin free.  It's on the wiki under pregenerated maps.

Wow, lucky map

How would I assign jobs to the people?

God help us.

Select the person, Preferences, Labor, then move up and down the list of jobs turning them on or off.  If you want people to do specific jobs, then make to disable all the random hauling jobs.

I just realized that my entire fortress is made of chalk, a flux material.

Now I just have to harvest some of that lignite I saw and get smelting.

Well, I just got done playing, and I had allot of firsts for my fortress.

-First Strange mood (possession, so no legendary result D:, though I already have a legendary clerk and miner, but they can't mass produce nice items)
-First Artifact
-First Baby :D
-First Baby Snatcher :(
-First Lost Baby D:
-First Goblin Raid
-First Dwarf death from an attack (A fisher that was outside)

Right now I'm building a flood seal room for artifacts, and I'm going to build a giant evaporation tank in a level I hope to yield some ore, so I can make some weapons so I'm ready for the next attack.

-First Goblin Raid

Hey grats on surviving your first raid, that's usually what does fortresses in if they're not prepared for it.

Fort Colten is founded:

I have a legendary stoneworker. Whenever the traders come buy I can get anything I want with all of the masterpiece crafts he makes.


Also I haven't had a goblin raid yet, and I need to know if I can survive

Here's what I have:

-5 marksdwarfs(not recruits, marksdwarfs)
-wooden crossbows
-wooden bolts
-drawbridge
-fortification filled entrance
-cage traps

I still need to forge some armor though.
