unfortunate, because dwarves of our civilization cannot manufacture Bows, so we can't equip them properly. Unfortunately, three of the eight recruits are Bowdwarves. To the left of that are first the weapon skills, then the Discipline and Dodge skills. act on these suggestions.Ĭircled (above) are the Armor and Shield skills.
#DWARF FORTRESS EMBARK ANIMAL FREE#
Players (and even onlookers) are always free to offer suggestions on what I should focus on (or try to avoid), and I often. Once you've picked a dwarf and entered the game, I will keep you (and everyone else) updated on what's happening in our little game world. the skills that a Miner develops in his normal day-to-day work (Strength, Endurance, Toughness, Willpower, etc) will all come in useful when he gets drafted as a soldier. once we have our metal forging industry set up and running, I'll be drafting a dozen or so dwarves into our new military and training them as soldiers. The dwarf's profession is not set in stone (so to speak). or if you prefer, you could sit on the sidelines for a (in-game) year or so and wait for a dwarf of a specific type to immigrate (a soldier, for example, or a hunter). That leaves five available dwarves from our initial seven. These three warehouse / workshop / warehouse rooms are all directly connected by stairs, in order to minimize walking and maximize throughput.
My typical workshop design is a three-level stack, with the raw materials stores on the top level, the workshop itself on the middle level, and the finished products on the bottom level of the three. At the moment, we have a clutter of temporary workshops set up in the corridor, but they will be moved into their own specialized areas as soon as possible. Next, we are building a few essential workshops. This will isolate any above-ground collapse and prevent it from propagating down through our fort. So we skip the first layer of stone, to ensure that the castle itself will be underlain by a solid, undisturbed layer of stone. Since we are planning to build an above-ground castle over our tunnel entrance using a work-force composed of drunken maniacs, potential structural collapses are a fact of dwarven life. The reason for this is that any structural collapses on the surface will carry on down through the subterranean parts of the fort, wrecking everything and killing dwarves, UNTIL they hit a layer of solid, undisturbed rock. It's not worth doing just now, because we haven't seen any animals except the tame ones we brought with us. If neither of those possibilities pans out, we'll have to start making crossbows and ammunition, and training a few dwarves as hunters (and perhaps a couple of dogs as hunting hounds). Perhaps the northern (Forest) biome has a soil layer. We sank our stairwell in the southern biome (a Mountain plateau). Maybe we'll find something that we can cultivate above ground.Ģ) I'll send our miners digging northward not far below the surface. So we'll push forward on two different solutions simultaneously, and see which one pans out first:ġ) I'll detail a dwarf or two to search the forest for edible vegetation. we brought enough food to last us until the first caravan arrives, but a poor caravan or a couple of large migrant waves will put us on the road to starvation. which means that growing our underground crops will be a real bitch.
We struck Iron ore immediately because there is solid rock underfoot. we can't even sink a stairwell down without hitting an important mineral deposit! Looks like our Iron and Steel foundry will be starting up as soon as we have the workers to dwarf it. and the very first swing of our picks hits a deposit of Magnetite ore! Jeeze. so the remaining six available dwarves are: I'm already planning some insane doomsday weapons. We also brought one male and one female pig, as well as breeding stocks of dogs, cats and peacocks.Īs usual, I have claimed the Mechanic character for myself. But with a mated pair of horses and wide-open plains of grass, we can start raising a herd of horses as soon as we get squared away. They were just as likely to have given us two males, or draft beasts of two different species. The map seems to be about 140 levels deep (from the surface all the way down to the magma sea and to the demon-infested Hell beneath that).īy sheer coincidence, those chuckleheads back at Mountainhome did something right for once they gave us one male horse and one female horse to pull our wagon. and positioning the entrance to our underground fort inside the protection of the surface fort. which will require clearing away some of the forest closest to the stream. My plan at first glance is to build a castle on the surface straddling the stream. The northern half of the map is heavily forested, and the southern half is bare.
