Start with supports, and build up your aqueduct until it is 10 z-levels high! 68 Fortress of Hardened Dwarven Adventurersįor some reason, a noble was harmlessly pulling a lever when suddenly, magma flooded the river and exploded the booze! The king requires your band of seven to build a great aqueduct to bring water to the capital.54 I've a feeling we're not in Boatmurdered anymore.I think “Patricide” would be a pretty sweet name for a dad band though. Sorry, right, this is a Dwarf Fortress let’s play, not a blog about fictional dad bands. Ghosts might be able to batter zombies to death though. The answer is no, zombies can’t be scared. 13 ↩︎Īnyone else occasionally stop what they’re doing and worry about loggers? I don’t know any, I’m just worried about them. 12 ↩︎Īnd they went with a real low hanging fruit of a name, like “The Grateful Dad”. Though, now that I think about it, maybe if they weren’t buried properly and so produced a ghost, then a necromancer raised their body, then the ghost scared the zombie body off a ledge into lava…can zombies get scared by ghosts? There’s a definitive answer to this in the wiki. Logging! Where Dwarf Fortress and reality meet each other in lethality! 11 ↩︎

It’s much more user friendly than the in game way of managing each dwarf individually. 7 ↩︎ĭwarfTherapist is an external utility for managing what labors are enabled/disabled for dwarves, among other useful things. Like a garage band formed on impulse at a neighborhood barbecue by a group of dads all going through a mid-life crisis at the same time. It feels like it was only yesterday, doesn’t it? ↩︎ Crisis averted! We’ve solved the river crossing problem, and amazingly nobody died! A little observation confirms that the dwarves are now crossing the river using the bridge only. So off to work Kol! Soon we have stacks of logs and, with another trip to the therapist to enable some crucial skills, they’re quickly assembled into a bridge. 6 I already feel uneasy about their ability to cross a bridge without falling off, the last thing I need is them… waves hands at the screen distressedly doing whatever the hell this is. Dwarves manage to kill themselves doing the simplest of things, like walking down a corridor or getting a drink of water. I don’t know how they’re crossing the river, but I need to put a stop to it. They changed sides! I looked away for one second to mark some trees and some of them switched sides of the river! How?! They didn’t swim, they’re not wet! Or dead! Did…did they jump? 5 Now let’s just designate some trees to be chopped down, and. A quick trip to the therapist 4 and Kol Mistêmmuthir has a new job. Well, we need to… sigh…get the band back together, so someone needs to undergo a swift career change. Not even particularly skilled musicians! Just sort of middling ones! 3 Because somehow I set out on my expedition to found a new bastion of dwarven civilization with a group consisting entirely of musicians. 2ī) Nobody knowing how to build a bridge. Last we left off, 1 our expedition was separated by a river, which was a non-insignificant problem due to:Ī) Dwarves generally having all the aquatic grace of a brick.
