If you're having issues with lack of drinks, the dwarves are likely cooking/eating all their drink-making foods. You can disable brewable foods in the kitchen section of the labor menu, I think.

One of my forts failed, interestingly. I chose a magma pipe location, but at least then, those were surrounded by imps. My plan, breed a huge army of dogs and lead them to take control of the magma. I made so many of them the game started to slow down a bit, which I considered a trigger to start the assault. Dogs go in following their master, hundreds of them. Imp sees the dogs, and breathes fire. The dogs catch fire and panic. The on-fire panicking dogs cause other dogs to ignite leading to a chain reaction. The heats reaches a level where the fat in the dogs melts and leaks out, causing pools of burning dog fat everywhere in my fort. Nobody makes it out alive. I guess I should have shaved the dogs beforehand, were that possible.

It's crazy, I too once had a legendary dwarf named iteb who was head of military and head doctor. Stood by himself up to a hydra that had wiped about about 150 dwarves, I didn't get to see the end of that fight bc the game crashed, this was in vanilla fort. Dr iteb lives on

I would definitely read a book about being locked in the dungeon after not crossing the drawbridge in time, forced to hide from a forgotten beast. After the colony somehow learns your alive, you explain its weakness and it finally goes down

Dwarf: "Oww! I stubbed my toe!"
Koko *cocking shotgun*: "Shame. Get the poets."

A good way to find out vampires (at least if their dwarves who live there) is to check their thoughts tab I got a vampire early on and found them out because they were “dismayed as seeing blank die” nobody else had this thought so I locked him up

Damn, dwarf fortress looks fascinating.
That version with sprites for everyhing is the best thing who happened to the game.
Someday will take the time to learn to play it effectively, complex game and hell to manage the building aspect. I always sucked on that aspect as a player in other games haha.

I was definitely glad to watch a lot of these vods. I've heard a lot about Dwarf Fortress but hadn't seen a ton of gameplay, especially not for a long time. The vampire mysteries was an incredible time. XD And letting the forgotten beasts deal with each other was a great plan. Well played!

5:38 "Who could be the Vampire? Surely not that one dwarf with pale-greenish skin... 🤔🤔 "

"I don't know who thought it'd be a good idea for children to deal with goblin prisoners, but it wasn't me."
ME: nervously glancing at the children's chores tab...

just as a warning about the moat... the thing thats happening is the dwarfs ai tells them to "dodge" in combat to an adjecent tile which can be a perfectly safe tile of drawbridge... or moat of lava, or 20 layer drop, so yeah, not super safe... also with werebeasts i don't think the chance of infection is 100% so it's a good idea to have a few "quarantine" areas with drawbrides as a doors and see if they turn or not if they've been attacked

[vanguze]

Wonderfully told. I have had a lot of new encounters I haven't seen before in the cavern layers.

on god this is the only game where this kind of video is actually helpful for me. Bought it on sale knowing my love for all things esoteric, and it's been a lot to pick up. Ty for making the content!

[drubrub]

I think i had this one time where i saw a human swordsman who single handedly killed a swarm of fully armored goblins effortlessly and was still unharmed and unfazed by the end of it, and i really thought he was an anime mc way back then

[oCleaRc]

This is better than any Netflix series. "The moat proved to be more deadly than the enemy" ROFL

[snickle]

Which setting creates the best gameplay?
5 years? 50? 100? 250?

At some point, I understand that the map will become crowded with evil, and lag... _and evil lag._
But if i start in year five...nothing really happens. Dwarf fortress is filled with hard choices. =(

[DuduRossetto]

Wow, I really really liked this format!

[snicklestudy]

4:44 The "Pure Stakes"...I mean...
I'm not saying they're _going to be vampires, _ but....

Please continue this save, I keep coming back to this video.
