Dwarf me or at least put me in line for an immigrant spot. Never played this game, so no overseer spot for me.
Well I'm a paranoid/finicky little bugger. I'm always afraid I'll mess up soemwhere and get everyone killed. I don't know all of the mechanics, but I do know a bit about how the military works so that's good at least.Everyone wants to be a dorf, but nobody (especially me!) wants responsibility for managing this ticking time bomb.
In my case, I'm just worried that I'll turn in a boring turn. "OK, one year passed, and absolutely nothing happened." My forts tend to be very dull affairs, at least from the FUN! perspective, in part because I expand very slowly. I only very rarely crack magma or caverns in the first year.Everyone wants to be a dorf, but nobody (especially me!) wants responsibility for managing this ticking time bomb.
For corpse disposal, I suggest a magma chamber to burn the undead. For a more fun approach, dump the corpses in an arena, wait for them to rise, then send other things like captured goblins to kill them. Or send your military in for training.
That could work. WE could set up a killzone area. A long tunnel fill with traps and ledges for dwarfs to shoot down on. Connect it with a magma tunnel for burning. Although, I'd prefer if we would be able to strip the invaders before we set the magma upon them.The problem is going outside and gathering up not only dozens of corpses but also loose body parts... Necromancers can also reanimate severed bits of creatures, such as arms, toes, eyeballs and spleens. Gathering all this up after a battle would expose a large work-force to the local Sasquatches, Dire Wolves, Mastadons or whatever.
It might be simpler and safer to just set up an elaborate flood-the-world-with-MAGMA device, and cremate everything right where it lies.
I just DL'd DF and for some reason Therapist keeps crashing. Using Windows 8.
Dwarf Therapist seems almost a necessity once you get past 20 dwarves or so. Is there anyway to start just therapist after you have embarked?
