Dwarf Fortress

[EverBlue]

Yeah, this game is a time eater. There's always bigger and better things to move on to!

Bit of gravedigging there, but, anyways:

Boatmurdered is a perfect example of how to treat your fortress.

With reckless abandon.

And laugh at it when you lose.

Because, as the wiki says, it's almost impossible to not lose.

I remember reading that about a year ago... I cried with laughter so many times, then when I got around to actually playing the game I could never find any damned elephants :/

how do people get storys and stuff you carnt tell whats going on. and how do you dig out a barraks?

[JovialKnight]

The stories happen, like when one of my miners tried to fight off a goblin ambush, was about to die, and was rescued by a legendary hammerdwarf.

Also, this

For a barracks you need a bed, and make a room, then set as barracks. [q][r][enter][b] I think....
You can use a armor/weapon stand too I think.

yea but how do you make a room as it says beds need to be inside but i carnt make it inside and despite having ramps and stairs on the z level below mine there are no dwarfs down there at least i think those things are built it looks like it has been but i carnt tell if its finnsihed

[JovialKnight]

space above it needs to have a roof, don't think it needs to be fully enclosed though.

Shouldn't need ramps or anything for a barracks, unless you're building a tower? You building outdoors? Or tunnelled into the ground? If outside, need to build a wall or floor on the z above the barracks-to-be.

[Violette]

I don't wanna distract myself from this awesome story I'm writing.


Must....resist....

Enjoy it though guys:)

[JovialKnight]

If you're using stairs, and going down, you'll need to dig a down stair on the current floor, and an up on the floor below.
For building walls/floors/etc it's [b][C] then pick from the menu.

Actually: here should help lots.
