The trick I read for things like that was to designate the spot where you don’t want them to stand as a wall, then suspend the construction of the wall so that it’s not actually built.

Thank you! I couldn’t quite remember how to do it… glad someone had the right advice =)

Best to let them take a chance. Appease Armok with your dwarfy sacrifices.

Calistas · 2010-01-30T01:38:06.000Z

Heresy! We have proper arenas, magma walking planks and dropping platforms for sacrificing dwarfs!

Kalle · 2010-01-30T01:59:39.000Z

Armok honours any sacrifice! You do not need the trappings of ceremony, the word of Armok is clear to the true believers. Dwarven blood is wine on Armok’s lips, dwarven flesh is his sacrament. Thus are all deaths made holy.

John_Many_Jars · 2010-01-30T09:20:20.000Z

Ha, Kalle’s Armok is straight out of Warhammer.

Eric_Majkut · 2010-01-30T11:42:39.000Z

Yeah, really. Fuck. My Armok just chills out and drinks dwarven beer all day. Sometimes we get around to cleaning the fort. It’s cool.

John_Many_Jars · 2010-01-30T12:12:03.000Z

Well, he is the god of blood according to the subtitle. Doesn’t come up much in the game, though.

RSofaer · 2010-01-30T12:12:57.000Z

Gods are procedurally generated in the next version!

You can see some info about gods in the current version: how they appear, etc. Never seen a dwarf that worships Armok, though. I think Armok may not even be relevant to dwarfs in the Toadyverse; IIRC his first ever game was called “Armok God of Blood” and consisted of random combat only.

Almost ready!

I fixed up pack animals and an overall lack of minerals on the map, and 40d17 is alllmost ready. One of Zach’s dwarves grew attached to his trousers. Then all of his military dwarves decided not to drink and died of thirst in the barracks while training. Then it crashed. The work continues!

Kalle · 2010-02-04T18:55:23.000Z

I don’t see anything wrong with a dwarf getting attached to his trousers. That’s a feature, not a bug!

Certainly. Now trousers getting attached to the dwarf is another matter.

Alright, everyone stop posting in this thread until the new version is out.

I get too excited everytime this thread rises to the top of the forums…

Not if the trousers menaces with spikes.

You should have trimmed those rampant pubes.

chequers · 2010-02-04T23:50:18.000Z

That’s going to be in the next version too.

I think the 40d17 is just the improved version of DF and not the actual new release

Fantastic, thanks. I was repeatedly constructing and deconstructing a grate with the hopes that this one time he would do it from the right side.

Eventually I think I gave up on him, considering that the only reason he was installing the grate was to avoid the same problem with a previous dwarf who was a bit more valuable to me.

Every now and then, though, you get a dwarf who appeases Armok more through works.

Quatoria is a favored dwarf of Armok.
