Re: OT: Dwarf Fortress
lol this is unbeliveable. Now a "rhesus macaque" stole the iron pick from my miner, and he cant mine now. I cant believe what bad luck I have...I got no other picks left.

Did you have dogs?
Last time I was attacked by a horde of Rhesus Macaques my dogs (and I think my dwarves as well) made short work of them.
Ooh, and I forgot to tell you something mildly amusing:
On the game forums I've read that Unicorns can be really dangerous, so when I saw them hanging around West of the outsite river I was worried that I'm soon going to lose the game that was going so well.
Time passed, and the unicorns didn't cross the river, autumn came, the caravan came and went, and suddenly I got the message "Unicorn in Enranged!".
I thought that the horde of unicorns will soon be upon me, so I went to where the unicorns were.
And found trails of blood and lots of dead unicorns, and the caravan (and the caravan guards) walking away very quietly...

Re: OT: Dwarf Fortress
Nop I didnt had any dogs, yet another newbie mistake. My guards took care of those damned monsters, but my miner was on his way to drink from the river, since I had no well yet, I just restarted the game. While he was on his way to there, 1 monster stole his pick. This game is fantastic, so many things in it already. This is the most complex game what I've ever seen + of course Dominions. I just cant stop playing Dwarf Fortress. 
The developer's future plans are also awesome. When this game gonna reach beta and hopefully there will be 2d tiles in it by then....I think that it will suck in tons of gamers immediately.

Re: OT: Dwarf Fortress
Woohoo! Got massacred by a horde of ambushing snakemen >_<
They came in through a wall that I was sure was unmined, I must have accidentally queued it for digging while making some space for farms.
Hehe, a few more lessons learned then, and just when I was starting to think I might survive.
Now what do you think I should do, more Dwarf Fortressing or do some studying for my test tomorrow?

Re: OT: Dwarf Fortress
I did wonderfully my first year so far, and the winter didn't seem half as hard as the guide said it would be (though I did everything they said to). I have restarted for the 3rd time now, because I wanted the right dwarves and a good starting layout (I have a massive 15x15 entrance with four supports, a fountain/meeting hall, and a dining room, all detailed).
I was doing great, and I had a room for each dwarf until I got easily over 15 migrants (maybe 20?). I locked 7 in a room to die, and the other 10 have messed with my careful track of what all my dwarves are doing (I have no idea. I am going to look into the nickname system...).
Did anyone else have any problems with migrants?

Re: OT: Dwarf Fortress
Eh, some weird thing happened. I placed bedrooms for my dwarves, and I placed chests inside. Well not really chests but cabinets so the dwarves will be more happy. [AFAIK dwarves aint putting anything to them, since this part is not in the game yet...I mean that the dwarves aint storing anything in them at the moment, it will be added with a patch.]
Anyways I added doors to the bedrooms of course. 1 dwarf walked into a bedroom what wasnt his bedroom, and he was messing around at the other dwarf's cabinet. Like 3-4 mins later, I was getting announcements about some fighting. The bedroom's owner was chasing the dwarf who was messing around with his cabinet, and he managed to kill him. I had no sheriff yet, so he wasnt arrested. However, some other dwarf seen what happened, and he was already in bad mood. He went berzerk 2 mins later, and attacked many other dwarves in the fortress. The berzerking dwarf damaged like 5 other dwarves [he broke 2 arms], but my carpenter managed to kill him. Now like 10 dwarves are in bad mood.
Seriously the programmer of this game is a genius. I've never seen such a diverse game like this before.
