'''☼Masterwork☼ Dwarf Fortress''' (MDF) is a [[Main:mod|mod package]] that makes Dwarf Fortress four times as big, but still keeps true to the original atmosphere of the game. It adds over 330 [[building]]s, over 6000 [[reaction]]s, over 1000 [[creature]]s and up to 35 [[races]]. It includes a selection of [[cv:utilities|utilities]] and two playable race plugins ([[Orc Fortress]] and [[Kobold Camp]]). As of v6.0, it's also possible to play as Gnomes, Warlocks, Succubi and Humans, and the 'race' of the Hermit, in which you control a single unit through fort mode.

The Masterwork mod uses a system of generic materials. For example, [[cv:leather|leather]] is only called leather (as opposed to "creature-name" leather). This also applies to [[Main:silk|silk]], [[main:hair|hair]], [[main:milk|milk]], [[main:meat|meat]] and [[main:blood|blood]], and [[main:bone|bone]]s. You won't have to scroll through 50 building materials in your list, but only 10. This is one of the few features of MDF that can't be turned on and off. Generic or decreased number of types can also be enabled or disabled for trees, gems, soil, stone, wood, meat, and gem shapes. Together with some other performance improving tweaks, Masterwork DF could actually increase your [[main:frame rate|frame rate]] by about 25% from vanilla DF.

There are a wide range of tough enemies to up the challenge level, exotic materials, new [[industry|industries]]; even threats from within the fortress like [[disease]]s and hostile [[cult]]s. [[Religion]], [[gun]]s, [[mage]]s and [[slave]]s. [[Rune]]s, [[mithril]], [[automaton]]s and [[raptor]]s. There are [[library|libraries]], [[garrison]]s and [[guildhall]]s to skill up your dwarves. In version 3f, a [[magic|magic system]] was added. Add only the parts that appeal to you; most settings can be customized by the player with the included Settings.exe user interface. You can enable and disable parts of the mod just by pressing a button and generating a new world.

There are lots of new [[Metal|materials]] — iron, silver and steel [[weapon]]s are just the beginning.

v0.31:Skill

2011-11-04T09:33:55Z

Rep: /* Skill penalties */ grammatical error ("are" to "is")

{{quality|Exceptional|22:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}}

Skills are used by dwarves to accomplish almost every task. Higher skills allows dwarves to accomplish tasks more quickly, but also more effectively (for example mining and crafting). Using a skill will grant '''[[experience]]''' in that skill, allowing the dwarf to reach higher skill levels.

Skills now become '''rusty''' and eventually '''very rusty''' after a certain period of time. The exact effects of this are unknown, but skills remaining at "very rusty" for prolonged periods of time will gradually suffer '''permanent''' experience loss.

To determine what skills a dwarf has, press {{K|v}} and highlight the dwarf, then press {{K|g}} to ensure you are on the general information page. The skills will be grouped in to three toggleable types, {{K|c}}ombat, la{{K|b}}or and {{K|m}}iscellaneous skills. The list will include the level of each skill and a note if it is rusty or very rusty in parentheses if applicable.

Skill levels are as follows:

:*Dabbling
:*Novice
:*Adequate
:*Competent
:*Skilled
:*Proficient
:*Talented
:*Adept
:*Expert
:*Professional
:*Accomplished
:*Great
:*Master
:*High Master
:*Grand Master
:*Legendary

==Skill penalties==
Dwarves that are {{L|Status icon|hungry, tired, or thirsty}} will work slower and produce lower quality goods. For some tasks like wood cutting or furnace operating this is unimportant, but you may wish to halt construction of {{L|aluminum}} {{L|statue}}s, or remove the designation on those diamond or native aluminum clusters if your {{L|blacksmith}} or {{L|miner}} is famished and hollow-eyed from lack of sleep.

==Skills, Attributes and Traits==
*'''Skills''':
**are trained by being used in some activity.
**train '''{{L|attribute}}s'''.
**the same {{L|attribute}} can be trained by various skills.
**it's assumed that the skills also use some of the {{L|attribute}}s that they train.
**certain skills are required or important for certain {{L|noble}}, {{L|military}} and civilian professions.
**certain professions require several skills.
**the same skill can be used by various professions.
**are increased by {{L|Preferences}}, but capped, so the dwarf will make items beyond its skill level but won't affect the chances of making more high value items at the highest skill level.

*'''{{L|Personality trait|Traits}}''':
**cannot be modified in-game.{{verify}}
**affect which {{L|social skill}}s gain experience ''(if the dwarf has X trait it will not gain experience in X skill)'' at all.
**have other in-game effects that can be useful for certain professions.
**give {{L|thought}}s when performing certain activities.

To summarize it goes like this:
Trait --> Skill <--> Attribute
| ^
v |
effect |
| v
'--> Profession

Since the same skills can be used by various professions, and the same {{L|attribute}}s are trained by various skills, this allows for {{L|cross-training}}.

Being {{L|Personality trait|traits}} the unmodifiable{{verify}}, limiting factor on which skills can be learned or having useful effects, and certain professions requiring various skills, the need arises to:
*avoid appointing a dwarf that will never learn a certain skill to a profession that uses it:
**''appointing a {{L|Personality trait|straightforward}} dwarf as a {{L|broker}} will result in a {{L|consoler}}, non-{{L|flatterer}}, non-{{L|liar}} {{L|broker}}''.
*appoint a dwarf with an useful effect given by a {{L|Personality trait|trait}} to a profession that benefits from it:
**''appointing an {{L|Personality trait|undisciplined}} dwarf to an important job will result in {{L|fun|}}''.
**''appointing an {{L|Personality trait|angry}} dwarf to {{L|soldier}} will result in more {{L|Status_icon|enraged}} bonuses.

The solution comes in the form of a nice sortable reference table:

Rep: typo

{{quality|Fine|22:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Military Tactics''' is a {{L|military}} {{L|skill}} first introduced in 0.31.14. Presumably, this skill relates to choices made during combat, and is valuable for survival. However, players have collected too little information about this skill to know for sure. Indeed, it is not clear even how to train this skill. It is also known that some migrants arrive with this skill at a somewhat developed level.

To employ a carpenter, create a task at a {{L|carpenter's workshop}} or designate a construction using logs.

A migrant carpenter may bring an axe with him, despite not having any skill in wood cutting.

Most times than not the migrant will literally throw the axe aside upon entering your map, make sure you have a weapon stockpile assigned so one of non-migrants can go and haul it to your fort.

v0.31:Record keeper

Rep: 'Exploits' are obscure ways of shortcutting game mechanics. Calling a legitimate game process an exploit is silliness.

{{Quality|Exceptional|21:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)}}

'''Record keeper''' is a skill associated with the {{L|Bookkeeper}} appointed {{L|noble}}. It is used to determine how quickly the bookkeeper can take an {{L|stocks|inventory}} of the fortress and update the records to reflect any changes. It is trained by a bookkeeper doing the '''update stockpile records''' administrative {{L|labor}}.

As wealth and items are created or lost, e.g. by dwarves drinking up all your booze, the records will gradually deteriorate in precision, eventually ending up at the lowest precision rating. An assigned bookkeeper will therefore periodically update the records. How often depends on what precision he is trying to maintain, with the highest precision requiring the most work.

It is recommended to have your bookkeeper working around the clock, maintaining the highest precision level, even in small fortresses with relatively small stocks. This will train the bookkeeper's record keeping skill, boosting it to [[legendary]] status fairly quickly.

The high speed at which the record keeping skills is trained is considered by some to be an [[Exploit#Bookkeeper_Exercise_Program|exploit]]. (Despite there being no alternative).

Rep: /* Draconic Age */ ops

== Stopping at years other than 1050 ==
I think that's a worldgen option now: the history of the world or something. Can someone edit the article to show this?
-[[User:SirAaronIII|SirAaronIII]] 19:46, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

== "Golden Age" "Twilight Age" "Age of Myth" what do these mean? ==

I was searching for information on how the worldgen determines what "age" it is in the world, and my search came up with only this stub of a segment on this page stating that "the history of the world during world generation is divided into several different ages, depending on the condition of the world during that time." Is there no further information about this? I really want to know how worldgen determines the various ages.
:I think 40d has info on that. but basicly an Age is a term used to describe a period of history ex: the Bronze Age, when humanity mostly used bronze for metal. In DF Ages are named by how many megabeasts still live ex: Age of Myth is when most megabeasts are still alive, and by how many intelegent creatures are still alive ex: Twilight Age civilizations are dying out.

=="All worlds start in the Age of Myths" ==

This isn't true if you generate a world that doesn't have any mega beasts.

== The wet season has begun ==
I started playing a game in v0.31.20 and embarked on a map with a good mountain biome and a tropical broadleaf forrest. While watching the seasons pass, I saw messages like "The wet season has begun" , "The dry season has begun", "Winter has arrived on the calendar" or "Autumn has arrived on the calendar". This seemed new to me, since I don't recall seeing this in any of my 40d games. Can anyone confirm if this is a new set of messages? -Coaldiamond [[Special:Contributions/207.96.13.12|207.96.13.12]]

== Draconic Age ==

Don't ask me how, but I 'discovered' an additional game Age while testing world generation parameters. I'm not interested enough to devote much time to researching this, but anyone wanting to know more can use the code below to generate a world which initializes during this period. It is cluttered, but as this is a infrequently-viewed specialist page I see little consequence to leaving it here. Significantly, the world has a minimum elevation of 80 and an x-variance of 150, meaning lots of mountains.. and dragons? Tasty. [[User:Rep|Rep]] 10:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Rep: Draconic Age?

== Stopping at years other than 1050 ==
I think that's a worldgen option now: the history of the world or something. Can someone edit the article to show this?
-[[User:SirAaronIII|SirAaronIII]] 19:46, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

== "Golden Age" "Twilight Age" "Age of Myth" what do these mean? ==

I was searching for information on how the worldgen determines what "age" it is in the world, and my search came up with only this stub of a segment on this page stating that "the history of the world during world generation is divided into several different ages, depending on the condition of the world during that time." Is there no further information about this? I really want to know how worldgen determines the various ages.
:I think 40d has info on that. but basicly an Age is a term used to describe a period of history ex: the Bronze Age, when humanity mostly used bronze for metal. In DF Ages are named by how many megabeasts still live ex: Age of Myth is when most megabeasts are still alive, and by how many intelegent creatures are still alive ex: Twilight Age civilizations are dying out.

=="All worlds start in the Age of Myths" ==

This isn't true if you generate a world that doesn't have any mega beasts.

== The wet season has begun ==
I started playing a game in v0.31.20 and embarked on a map with a good mountain biome and a tropical broadleaf forrest. While watching the seasons pass, I saw messages like "The wet season has begun" , "The dry season has begun", "Winter has arrived on the calendar" or "Autumn has arrived on the calendar". This seemed new to me, since I don't recall seeing this in any of my 40d games. Can anyone confirm if this is a new set of messages? -Coaldiamond [[Special:Contributions/207.96.13.12|207.96.13.12]]

== Draconic Age ==

Don't ask me how, but I 'discovered' an additional game Age while testing world generation parameters. I'm not interested enough to devote much time to researching this, but anyone wanting to know more can use the code below to generate a world which initializes during this period. It is unformatted and cluttered, but as this is a infrequently-viewed specialist page I see little consequence to leaving it here. Significantly, the world has a minimum elevation of 80 and an x-variance of 150, meaning lots of mountains.. and dragons? Tasty. [[User:Rep|Rep]] 10:24, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Rep:

==Flowchart==
Please list what's missing from the flowchart, rather than simply declaring it incomplete. That way we have a chance of fixing it. I'm leaving this note here because the tag was added on this page. [[User:Rep|Rep]] 17:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

==Concepts and Organization==
There is a lot of information on this page, mostly in list form. I'd like to condense the lists into more generalized concepts, useful forms, or transfer some of the information to the specific workshop pages themselves. Any suggestions are welcome! I'm currently working on updating the individual workshop pages, but I have a feeling there is a better way to list the workshops within each tier (alphabetically, the order listed in-game, perhaps in some sub-category?). Even the products could use similar attention. -- [[User:DwarfNuke|DN]] 17:49 1 March 2011 (GMT)

Yes, there is a lot of info. And it ''really'' needs to be corrected, updated and reformatted. But I'm opposed to condensing it down to generalizations. That would greatly diminish its usefulness. Despite its shortcomings, I find the Tier System handy to see at a glance how far removed end products are from the materials used. Using this to make comparisons allows me to judge the time and labor cost to produce goods and make decisions based on efficiency.

As for organizing the Tier System better, I have a question:
'''Should {{L|container}}s be taken into consideration to determine the Tier?'''
Currently, a few workshops (Still, Quern, and Millstone) are listed to consider containers as part of the materials used and, as a result, the goods produced are classified much higher in the Tier than they would otherwise. But most workshops do not do this. I feel a rule should be decided upon to make the Tier System more consistent and clear.

Should containers ever be considered part of the raw materials, such as when a certain container is absolutely necessary? Or should containers always be left out of Tier considerations? IMO, I feel the latter makes much more sense. First, containers usually store stacks of multiple items, so they don't count much toward the labor cost producing 1 unit of a finished good. Secondly, containers are reusable (with the exception of {{L|trading}} products such as liquids or powders to caravans that ''must'' be sold in a container). Since containers are reusable, the dwarf labor and time to make them is inconsequential compared with the actual goods. As long as the goods are consumed or used in the fort, containers are a one-time investment.

If containers were always considered, then the Tiers of materials used and goods produced would have to be greatly expanded, making it vastly more complicated. For instance, bags produced from silk cloth should be Tier 2 because they only require a Tier 1 material. (Silk cloth comes from silk thread, which is produced automatically by a dwarf with the gather web labor. The latter does not require a workshop, so it's Tier 0.) But bags produced with Rope reed thread, Pig tail thread, or Yarn (from Wool) require more processing, so such bags are Tier 3. And anything stored in them would be Tier 4. Similarly, Alcohol can be stored in wood barrels (Tier 1), metal barrels (Tier 2), or a metal {{L|metal#Alloys_2|alloy}} barrel (Tier 3). And it can be stored in {{L|large pot|glazed large pots}} (Tier 2). This makes alcohol fit either Tier 2, Tier 3, or Tier 4, depending on the type and materials of the container. Then, when you try to determine the Tiers of workshops further down which use liquids or powders as ingredients, the complications get compounded. --[[User:Thundercraft|Thundercraft]] 09:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
:Containers required by processes should be considered, but not as part of the tiering. Would it be possible to consider just the raw material flow, with notes aside for resources that don't get used up, such as buckets, barrels and bags? Since containers aren't 'consumed', and made from such variety of materials, I don't feel it -should- be used to count tiers, rather, counting by how many steps from raw material the processes the workshop have is. What I'm unsure about is if just the processes itself should be regarded, or the highest-tier process the workshop have as is on the current list? [[User:AutomataKittay|AutomataKittay]] 10:13, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

== Claification needed in some areas ==

Specifically, I need to know whether more than one dwarf can use a workshop or not.
In addition, previous versions of the page are much more detailed in their uses section, including the information not given here that a dwarf will haul material to a workshop for their task, regardless of haul settings.
We should confirm that some of that information still is valid and add it to the current page if necessary. [[Special:Contributions/74.98.229.82|74.98.229.82]] 12:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
:"You can use workshop profiles to restrict the use of individual workshops to named dwarves, or to dwarves with specified minimum and maximum levels of skill. " I'm quoting from the article here, to answer your question; multiple dwarves can use a workshop at its default setting (although not at the same time!), but if you modify the profile of a workshop, you can make it so that only single dwarves use it. See profile, or manager. In regards to the the missing information that dwarves will haul material to a workshop for their tasks-- well, they'll always do it. I could imagine that that might be useful information for somebody, but I think the right place to put it is in "hauling," and I'm going to go there next :) Post script: Hey, it's already on that page. Cool. [[Special:Contributions/98.203.173.56|98.203.173.56]] 08:06, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Rep: /* Forest and Taiga */ hostile :(

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. {{L|Undead}} creatures are always hostile.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ({{L|stingray}}, {{L|cat}}) to 25,000,000 ({{L|dragon}}). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger {{L|pressure plate}}s.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a {{L|pet}} during {{L|trading}}.

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as {{L|cave blob|causing a syndrome}}, {{L|dragon|breathing fire}}, or {{L|giant cave spider|spinning webs}}.

{{AV}}

In Dwarf Fortress, '''creatures''' are defined as any (for the sake of this article, non-{{L|vermin}}) beings you can interact with. They come in all shapes and sizes, and range from the civilized races like {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to evil monsters like {{L|giant cave spider|giant cave spiders}}. Various creatures will interact with your fortress in many different ways.

See also: {{L|Animals}}

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Symbol:''' The symbol assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up ingame.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. {{L|Undead}} creatures are always hostile.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The size of the creature at it's adult age. This can be anywhere from 5,000 ({{L|stingray}}, {{L|cat}}) to 25,000,000 ({{L|dragon}}). Equals more or less the creature's weight in grams. These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger {{L|pressure plate}}s.

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a {{L|pet}} during {{L|trading}}.

'''Locations:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as {{L|cave blob|causing a syndrome}}, {{L|dragon|breathing fire}}, or {{L|giant cave spider|spinning webs}}.

v0.31:Advanced world generation

2010-04-29T11:20:16Z

Rep: /* Advanced Parameters */

{{av}}
= Advanced Parameters =

To access advanced parameters, press {{key|e}} when at the screen for creating new worlds with parameters screen. This will bring you to an editable list of various guidelines the world-gen process will use when creating your new world.

Parameter sets are stored in ''world_gen.txt'' in the ''\data\init'' folder, using [[world tokens]]. You can copy and paste other player's sets of parameters into your ''world_gen.txt'' to use their parameter sets, and some are provided at [[Pregenerated worlds]]. Another place to find parameter sets is the [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=20638.0 Worldgen cookbook] thread on the official forums.

== Caverns Parameters ==

=== Cavern Layer Number ===

This parameter determines how many cavern systems will be generated, not including the Magma layer or the Bottom layer. Defaults to three.

If this is 0 then you will not have Caverns on your map.

=== Layer Openness min\max ===

Still unknown. It doesn't seem to affect whether there's a wall at the edge of the map, but it may affect whether creatures will come in through the edges.

=== Layer Passage Density min\max ===

This determines whether caverns will be large open spaces (at 0), or broken up into a number of small vertical shafts(at 100).

=== Layer Watern min\max ===

Determines how many caverns will have water at the bottom. Note that, even at 100, there will be some amount of ground in caverns, but each cavern 'bubble' will contain some amount of water.

At 0, there will be no water in your caverns. This may impact future underground plant growth, although maps will still start with underground flora.

=== Magma Layer ===

Magma sea 4-5 layers at the bottom of map.

=== Bottom Layer ===

Cavern below magma sea.
if "yes" the "HFS" layer is always present.

=== Z Levels === '''[This table is confusing, please elaborate.]'''

40d:Siege

2009-04-23T06:43:23Z

Rep:

A '''siege''' is a special, [[fun]] time in [[Fortress mode]] when an army attempts to attack and kill all of your [[dwarves]]. It is at this time you should activate your [[military]], keep civilians indoors, raise the [[drawbridge]]s and pray you have your defenses ready.

During a siege, the option on the main menu 'Abandon Fortress' changes to 'Succumb to the Invasion'.

A siege is not to be confused with other types of hostile encounters - if you are besieged you will ''know''. If you are unsure, you are ''not'' under siege. When you receive a siege, you receive a full-screen message "a vile force of darkness has arrived!" and the top of the screen reads "SIEGE" in yellow and red. Siegers are immediately visible at the map edge, whereas [[ambush]]ers or [[thief|thieves]] are not.

During a siege supply lines are cut, and no caravans will visit your fortress. Unlike a caravan passing your fort due to an inaccessible trade depot, the traders don't appear on the map at all, and no message informs you of this. However, caravans that are already on the map will continue to your fortress as normal.

== Siegers ==
=== Goblins ===
[[Goblins]] will send kidnappers and ambushers once your fort's population or [[wealth]] reaches a certain amount{{Verify}}, and will start sieging once your total population reaches 80. (Dead dwarves count){{Verify}}. Sieges will increase in intensity depending only on how many previous sieges you have survived - a population higher than 80 does not increase the number of goblin siegers.

They arrive in squads of about 15 goblins each, frequently led by individual goblin weapon masters (or even babysnatched/refugee [[human]]s) and sometimes mounted on [[beak dog]]s, and occasionally accompanied by up to 3 squads of 5-8 [[troll]]s. They frequently are split into separate squads placed on different map edges. The first siege you see with a given fort might consist of as little as a single unmounted squad with no trolls, but the goblin forces will escalate in size as the game progresses. Later on you may be seeing 100 or more goblins show up in a single siege, all mounted, with 10 to 20 trolls.

Trolls are the goblin "siege engines". They are faster than beak dogs, and will make for [[buildings]] and start demolishing. Locked [[door]]s will keep the goblins out, but can be demolished by trolls. Note that [[Constructions]] are treated as inert terrain objects and therefore can't be destroyed by trolls.

If you deflect enough sieges, the ruler of the goblin nation may lead a squad. He's equipped with extra-good quality equipment.

=== Humans ===
Humans can siege your fortress, letting too many caravans get lost to enemies may provoke them. On entry to the map they will set up a Campfire and wait there for a while, making attacks of opportunity on dwarves that come to the surface, before taking the final headlong charge in much the same way as goblins.

The message is slightly different from the goblin sieges: "The enemy have come and are laying siege to the fortress".

They may be mounted on horses.

They may eventually send a diplomat, who will parley with your leader and offer a peace treaty.

=== Elves ===
As of Version 39f it is possible for [[Elves]] to lay siege to your fortress. You will get the standard message notifying you of a Siege; however, you will not be able to see any enemy units and the SIEGE banner across the top will instantly disappear. This is because all elven siegers enter the map [[ambusher|sneaking]]; isn't that [[fun]]? The Elven squads typically consist of a mix of swordselves and wrestlers, all of whom will be using wooden equipment. Later sieges may also feature archers and spearelves, again with wooden weapons. The first time this happens, if your military consists of untrained dwarve, an Elven siege could be an extreme problem. Otherwise, most will not have much trouble resisting the sieges. Difficulty may eventually increase, but this has not been confirmed.

Elves may be mounted on [[unicorn]]s.

=== Kobolds ===
Similar to [[Goblins]], [[Kobolds]] will first send thieves dependent on your fort's population or, rather, [[wealth]]. Kobold archers will begin to arrive if the Kobold thieves successfully steal any items - the number of successive archers and thieves who arrive will depend on how many items were stolen previously.

Kobold archers tend not to directly siege your fort, but prefer to pick off individual Dwarves who may be working in the surrounding wilderness. They will leave once their [[arrow]]s have been exhausted.

=== Megabeasts ===
Megabeasts are a siege consisting of one enemy. A certain wealth or a population of around 100 may trigger one.{{Verify}} A megabeast, such as a [[bronze colossus]], [[dragon]], or [[titan]], will arrive on the map and head towards your fortress.

Megabeasts rely entirely on [BUILDING_DESTROYER:2] to path to your fortress. Unlike other sieges, they can be stopped simply by shutting a door behind another door. Vanilla megabeasts are easy to defeat and by default only 20% will survive worldgen.{{version|0.28.181.40d}} Can be set higher via /data/init/worldgen.txt.

Increasing [DAMBLOCK] or [SIZE] can help buff up megabeasts, as well as editing their body to be more complex (realistic dragons with scales, for example) and setting them to be made out of certain materials (steel or adamantine, for example){{Verify}}

== Defending against a Siege ==

===Active Defense===
*Put your entire [[military]] on duty. With luck, most of them are not sleeping, eating, or drinking. If a [[squad]] leader is doing anything of that sort, replace him with a more alert squad member (the squad always clusters about the leader. If the leader's eating, the squad will guard the table). Place melee units at major choke points, so they can meet the enemy head on, but try to keep them out of direct fire from enemy missile users. Place your own [[marksdwarf|marksdwarves]] where they can rain death down on the enemies. They can also shoot from different Z levels, use this. (This is why you build [[fortifications]].)
** A good tip for your military is to make sure that you take out goblin squads early. They tend to arrive all over the map, so you have a chance to strike while they are still scattered. Send groups of dwarves large enough you know you will win with no causualties (normally, a modestly trained group around three-quarters the size of a goblin group has nothing to fear unless there are crossbows, but use extra dwarves just in case) to each squad, so that you don't have to deal with 50 goblins beating down your door in one massive group. In such large numbers, goblins are far more likely to seriously injure or kill even the hardiest of dwarven warriors, while when they are in their initial squads dwarves have much less to fear.

*[[War dog]]s are valuable, but shouldn't be the first line of defense, because the enemy bowmen will quickly take care of them. Assign them to your military dwarves, or [[cage]] them before the siege, and [[Release the Hounds!|release]] them via [[lever]]/[[pressure plate]] as the enemy is rounding a blind corner. They're also useful for clearing the field once the siege ends.

*[[Siege weapon]]s, [[catapult]]s and [[ballista]]e, can be effective during a siege, but can also be entirely useless. They don't have a wide field of fire, so you'll need to design your fortress ahead of time to funnel your attackers into the [[weapons]]' field of fire and then delay them with winding passages while in range. To use them effectively, you really need trained Siege Operators for the task, since siege weapons take up to three real-time minutes for inexperienced operators to load, and the weapons cannot be fired at a precise time; they will fire whenever the operator shows up. Fire early and often: siege operators are civilians, and will run away once the oncoming hordes get too close.

===Passive Defense===
*If you have no trust in your military's power, keep all the dwarves inside and draw the besiegers into corridors with [[traps]]. Stone-fall traps are cheap and easy, but work only once before needing to be reset; weapon traps require weapons (and ammunition, in the case of ranged weapon traps), but reload themselves after a few seconds, until their components eventually get stuck due to all the gore. A 10-square-long entry hall filled with weapon traps will break most [[goblin]] sieges without any help.

*Locked (forbidden) doors will keep [[invader]]s out indefinitely, if locked before they seize the door. Doors won't keep siege trolls out, but drawbridges will. Closing all entrances will result in enemies milling around outside your walls without a destination. The siege will end after some (LONG) time have passed, but if you intend to sit it through, make sure you have enough wood, a well and a food source.

*A [[moat]] can provide a decent defense when combined with a drawbridge to either keep the goblins from entering, or to drop them right into the water. [[Magma]] may be substituted for far more lethal results. Even when not filled, a 1-tile wide [[channel]] is a fast and effective way of stopping besiegers or to guide them into areas you want.

== Civilians ==

Your dwarves will still attempt to do their jobs during a siege, including cutting down [[tree]]s or hauling in items and [[corpse]]s from outdoors. Dwarves will run from invaders, but only ''after'' getting within [[crossbow]]-range, so their self-preservation skills are lackluster when the enemy has ranged weapons, or moves more quickly than them. There are [[Help! My civilians keep running into combat!|several strategies]] to preserve your civilians' lives, none of them perfect.

40d Talk:Broker skills

2009-04-19T09:20:04Z

Rep: /* Huh? */

:I combined these skills since all the entries are the same. [[User:Jikor|Jikor]] 08:02, 8 November 2007 (EST)

It is gained by:
* Proposing an unsuccessful trade at the depot.

:This seem to controdict the earlier statement that this is a way that the skills are '''not''' gained. Is this skill an exception or what? I think we should make this article clearer. --[[User:Mizipzor|Mizipzor]] 09:25, 8 November 2007 (EST)

::In my first fort I tried to buy out the dwarven caravan with not enough goods, after enough attempts (removing one item each time), the caravan took offence and left. My broker gained the comedian skill after that. So unsuccessful trades do gain skills (not sure if its a random skill or depends how you offended the caravan), anyway the assertion in this article appears to be wrong. [[User:Coelocanth|Coelocanth]]

:::I just copied the text from the previous articles on the subject I haven't really tested these yet. [[User:Jikor|Jikor]] 06:09, 9 November 2007 (EST)

::::I am sure that the 'appraiser' skill is trained before the actual trade. My broker went to sleep at the unlucky moment and I allowed anyone to trade with 6-wagon human caravan. The dwarf that came to trade wasn't even dabbling at appraising and when I pressed 'trade' at the depot - he saw all the items' prices. So I actually cancelled trade that time and looked at the dwarf again - he was now competent appraiser. I guess that some experience in appraising skill (maybe 1?) is gained when a dwarf determines the price of each single merchant item for the first time. Later I bought out that whole caravan and the dwarf became dabbling in a handful of other skills. I guess that each successfull and each rejected trade attempt gives some amount(10?, 20?, 50?) in their corresponding 2 partially overlapping sets of social skills. Some experiments can be conducted to determine the exact amounts of skill gains.--[[User:Another|Another]] 07:55, 9 November 2007 (EST)

:::::I can confirm this. Appraiser goes up just from opening the trading menu, before you've even started putting together an offer. As a result it goes up much faster than any of the other skills, especially once the big caravans start rolling in.

Judge of Intent seems to go up on just about every attempted trade, even failed attempts. It seems to go up slightly faster than most of the other skills, which seem to be applied somewhat randomly, based off your broker's personality and possibly other factors (personalities of the foreign merchants?) For instance, my broker has been gaining Persuader, Negotiator, and Intimidator, with ocassional smaller gains in Comedian. [[User:Rpb|Rpb]] 20:21, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Do any of the broker skills actually do anything past novice? I had thought appraiser (or maybe another one) gave a bonus to the value of your goods but I'm not seeing it anymore - probably I had been trading something they asked for without realizing it. Unless you order something heavy (like stone blocks or metal bars) caravans almost always seem to bring enough to enable novice appraiser so you can see the prices, and seeing as the mood thing doesn't really matter much there does not seem to be a lot of point in using a dedicated broker at all. --[[User:BurnedToast|BurnedToast]] 23:51, 11 November 2007 (EST)
:I don't know if appraiser or judge of intent do anything once past novice. Getting the other skills up a couple ranks does make it a lot easier to get full value on your trades (the traders are much less likely to reject deals or make counter-offers asking for more stuff), so if you're stingy about what you trade away you might as well have a dedicated broker. Even then there seems to be a definite point of diminishing returns, though, as my broker only has 2-4 ranks in four skills and he almost always gets the traders to accept on profit margins of 1-5% or less. Which is probably a good considering their slow rate of advancement, since he started with 5 ranks in negotiation skills and has taken 6 years of dedicated brokering to get the other ranks.[[User:Rpb|Rpb]] 23:59, 11 November 2007 (EST)
::I noticed that, with a low skill, the trader would often ask for more of what you are presenting him before he agrees to trade. Which is probably because I always try to give them the same kind of stone stuff, mainly stone crafts, and the trader look for profit ''and'' diversity. At a time, in a map in which I had no wood and was bent on trying to purchase bins and barrels only to have them in my inventory 'cause I wasn't able to start my metal industry yet, the merchant was also bent in asking for the bins of my trade goods also, along with a few other items I would have rather prefered keeping in stock but didn't mind that much. I had to raise his profit for him to be willing to oversee those demands. In my current fortress, the highest starting skill I gave to my leader was judge of intent. I'll see later on if it make a difference in the haggling process. I am guessing that, with a high enough skill level, my leader will be the one asking for more stuff instead of the inverse. Or maybe it's also related to another talk skill... --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 13:14, 12 November 2007 (EST)
:::Judge of Intent most probably determines a change in the mood of the trader, so far i was very persistent in not giving human traders the goods they asked for and their status "merchants seems to be willing to trade" changed to "merchant is impatient"(or something like that), I believe Judge of Intent is what detects these changes of mood. Basically it shows you where the safe bargaining zone is over. --[[User:Digger|Digger]] 02:51, 5 March 2008 (EST)

Does it make sense for the "Liar' skill to redirect to the broker skills page? From what I can tell the liar skill isn't trained by trading, or any current noble function.
:I'm pretty sure that it is, but your broker's skill usage is determined by their personality. i.e. if you put someone who is dishonest towards others in charge of trading, then they'll use the Liar skill.[[User:Rpb|Rpb]] 11:38, 16 November 2007 (EST)

== Effect of skills ==

This article says how dwarves learn, but not what the skills *do*. Problem is, I was looking it up because I didn't know, so I can't fill in that info. [[User:Bhudson|Bhudson]] 21:18, 2 February 2008 (EST)

== Skill gain from idle chatter ==

It appears that dwarves also gain most of the broker skills (albeit slowly) from time spent in idle conversation with each other. Leave a few dwarfs sitting around the dining room with no job for a bit, and you'll see that they've gained Dabbling in most of these. While it's not enough to really be useful for trade, the extra few XP often are enough to give a new dwarf a stat gain. Has anyone tested this to see how the XP gain is accrued? Part of the problem is that without some dissection of the code as it's running, it's hard to tell how long a single "conversation" lasts. [[User:RedKing|RedKing]] 23:47, 4 March 2008 (EST)

-- It seems that some of these skills also alow the dwarves to comfort each other, generating happy thoughts. I belive Conversationalist, Comedian and Flatterer are used for this, based on the thought text but I have no specific evidence of that.

[[User:Duo|Duo]] 11 March 2008

== Value of Multiple Trades ==

Does the skill increase every time you {{k|t}}rade, or every time you open/close the trade window? In other words, can you try to level your Broker by haggling over each individual scrap of cloth? If so, this makes Elves actually useful. [[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 22:11, 13 October 2008 (EDT)

:I've only trained up one dwarf in trading, but I seemed to get the best training and trader response by making an offer, having it rejected, then making a more generous offer (but still less than their counteroffer) which was accepted. Try 110% followed by 150% on a series of trades.

:Now that my broker's at "Skilled" in all broker skills, the traders no longer reject any offer as long as it's not a loss for them, and I no longer gain skill from trading -- though that is moot.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 01:36, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

:: So the skill only trains if you fail? That's seems weird. By this logic, though. My initial assumption seems correct, although slightly more complex. In the same trading period, I could haggle over every item tit-for-tat, and quickly level the broker up. Although I decided to make my dwarves unusually social this build, so my broker has average Judge of Intent, average Appraiser and Novice Flatterer, so I'm not going to be able to test it anytime soon. [[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 02:17, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

:::Novice Judge of Intent is all that's really needed initially, although even that you can learn by trading. But being able to see the mood of the traders is useful.

:::I trained up my broker by doing small trades at first, but once he was getting the traders to accept break-even most of the time, I switched to bulk trades. I'm not positive that the small trades produced more skill than one big trade would have, but it wouldn't surprise me. A set of modestly generous initial trades help to massage the traders' mood up to ecstatic so that you can cut things closer with the big stuff.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 03:17, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

:::: Due to a profound lack of bins and an overproductive craftdwarf, I got to try this after all. A dwarf went from zero skill in Appraiser to Skilled in 3 exchanges in the same trade exchange (in order: success, reoffer/success, donation). Based on this, I'm updating the page. [[User:RomeoFalling|RomeoFalling]] 07:32, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

== Huh? ==
Does this article really make sense to have? It's just a subset of [[social skills]], and Appraiser isn't listed. [[User:Random832|Random832]] 16:13, 16 November 2008 (EST)

: Agreed. "Broker skills" is certainly an archaic concept and as the [[outpost broker|broker]] page should dealing with all this, there's not point for this page to exist. ~[[User:Rep|Rep]]

I anticipate your response on this issue and implore you to consider my stance; that until a better, more informative description is created a little lightheartedness is superior to a lack of anything at all. You are, let us not forget, vandalizing my purely altruistic efforts with your pragmatic attitude and unenlightening blank spaces. ~ [[User:Rep|Rep]]

: Well, if I can give my advice, not ''everyting'' is better than a blank page. I mean, instead of your rather unexplainable sentences, you could have made a little bit of description on the stone (something like "This is a brown stone, found in igenous extrusive layer, it may contain hematite, rock crystal etc etc"). Il will be more constructive than a blank page, and more than your previous modifications, which were effectively useless and practically humorless, altough the intent was nice. Not that this wiki shouldn't have humor (it already has), but it should had least be humoristic and understandable by everyone :) [[User:Timst|Timst]] 09:14, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

:: Your opinion has been duly noted, your example scrutinized without any impressions of inadvertent condescension and your position appears clear, so thank you. I suspect, also, from your efforts, you appear to be a prime candidate for what the blank stone pages really require--may I suggest you consider applying your insight to them at some point in the future? It would be somewhat unbecoming for you to now leave them blank. ~ [[User:Rep|Rep]]

40d Talk:Hammerer

2009-04-13T22:04:29Z

Rep: /* Arrives with Baron */

I saw it mentioned somewhere - on either the bay12 forums or elsewhere on this wiki - that if you strip a Hammerer of his hammer (mark it for dumping), he'll not pick up another one, and will 'hammer' people unarmed instead. Certainly this seems to be working for me so far; out of two prescribed 'hammerings' I've had one Carpenter come out with a bruised lower spine, and a Swordsdwarf come out unscathed (likely thanks to his chainmail). Not yet any skill in wrestling for the Hammerer either (not even dabbling). -- [[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 13:56, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

:Nice find, why not add that to the article?--[[User:Richards|Richards]] 03:00, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

:: You can prevent hammerer-related deaths entirely by trapping the hammerer in a cage trap. You will need to arrange some way, such as sleep or giant cave spider, for the hammerer to become unconscious and fall down on a cage trap tile. -- [[User:Rkyeun|Rkyeun]] 17:18, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

:I also remember seeing horror stories from the 2D version where, if the Hammerer lost both his arms, he would BITE people as punishment. And tear their heads off with his jaws, walking around with dwarf chunks in his mouth. A hammerer with no arms is way more dangerous than you might think; if he loses his arms, make sure he loses his head too! --[[User:Sowelu|Sowelu]] 02:19, 27 November 2008 (EST)

::It seems unlikely. A hammerer who lost both his arms would also be losing consciousness constantly.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 03:46, 27 November 2008 (EST)

:::is this still true? i have the hammerer's hammer designated as A) forbidden, and B) for melting (even though it's a work of art). it's been almost a year, and he's still not dropped it, and it's the only thing available for melting, but an alert pops up saying "smelter cancels melt a metal object: needs melt-designated item".

::::Dwarves won't melt something that somebody is carrying, and they won't do squat with something that's forbidden. They will, however, ''dump'' an object that's being carried/worn. So try unforbidding the hammer and marking it for dumping. When it gets dumped, go to the dump zone, reclaim it, and mark it for melting. --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 12:01, 6 March 2009 (EST)

:::::yep, done that. taken it off both 'melt' and 'forbid', set it to be 'dumped', and he's still carrying it around. looks like it's not possible anymore :/ thank goodness i built that prison block! xD

::::::Have you remembered to set a garbage dump zone? I'm on 40d and had no problem dumping my hammerer's hammer. It might just take a while for someone to come and take it off him. --[[User:Paradigmlost|Paradigmlost]] 13:45, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

:::::::yeah, that must have been it. i assumed he'd just drop it, if not dump it himself. he didnt have it equiped when i locked him in his room, so it must have been dumped at some point x] bit too late, but.. better late than never :] --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]]

:::::::i found the reason it wasnt dumped (or, may have a possible reason). i think i designated it from the 'stocks' menu, and on the [[Stone management]] wiki, it stated that it requires 'some bookkeeper labour' to designate stones for dumping from the stocks menu. since i was moving my bookkeeper to a more appropriate housing block with the other nobles, he didnt have a desk to work off. hence, it was never confirmed, and didnt happen. --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]]

==Arrives with Baron==
Can anyone verify this?--[[User:Richards|Richards]] 03:00, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
:I've had this happen recently; that is, the hammerer and baron arriving together. I've only had a baron arrive once, however, so this is hardly conclusive. Also this baron promptly ruined the fort with his 'economy' and 'coin' and other seditious ideas, but that's beside the point.--[[User:Dadamh|Dadamh]] 14:59, 30 May 2008 (EDT)

This isn't true. I've just received the hammerer along with the count and the tax collector. No baron !

== Finished off a goblin invader ==

Just fended off my second invasion of goblins first with trolls.(I love cage traps)
He killed off a goblin with heavy injuries from the stone traps bare-handed as I dumped his hammer. I'd like to give him a hammer (a weak one) for effort :) My point is that he'll help fighting.--[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 18:18, 2 July 2008 (EDT)

==Avoiding a Hammering==
This page would seem like a good place to put advice on how to avoid getting your dwarves hammered (and not in the good way.) Does putting the full amount of guards and cages prevent dwarves violating work orders being sentenced to hammerings?--[[User:Pyrite|Pyrite]] 07:45, 18 December 2008 (EST)
:Mostly. The default sentence for any offense is jail time. To be able to sentence your dwarf to jail time, you need to have a free guard to escort the offender to jail and you need a chain or cage to put them in. It's only if they try to put your dwarf into jail and fail that they get hammered. It's still possible to get more people arrested than you have restraints, unless you have a restraint for every dwarf. There was a case in one of my forts where my Mayor decided ''post facto'' that crowns could not be exported... right after I'd just put out a big shipment of them. I had 34 dwarves sentenced and only 15 (the recommended amount) restraints. The hammerer had a very bloody time of it... Kind of a shame that the mayor wasn't one of the offending haulers.
:Also, as I think is noted somewhere above, if you have no guards and no restraints designated as a jail, the noble gets an unhappy thought for not being able to punish anyone (on top of unhappines over not having the mandate filled if that's the offense) but there's no jail time and no hammering because there was no failure to get the offender to jail. One side effect of this is that tantruming dwarves are not stopped as effectively. -[[User:Fuzzy|Fuzzy]] 09:04, 18 December 2008 (EST)

==Trap/kill the Hammerer==
is it possible? both to trap him, and/or kill him? and if you do either, is he replaced? he's already killed one of my champion wrestlers for failing a mandate (no idea why it was him; i assume it's linked to his former job, although i'm really not sure), and now he's whacked (literally) a peasant, with no skills (he was just hauling wood!) - instantly killing him. i want him dead! :| --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 13:17, 7 March 2009 (EST)

:The "standard" method for dealing with misbehaving nobles is to turn their room into a drowning chamber, or to throw them into a 20z pit. If you're in a hurry, you can always just lock him in his room until he dies of starvation or thirst. There's plenty of other, more imaginative ways though. --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 15:29, 7 March 2009 (EST)

::will he be replaced, though? i dont want another one showing up with the next wave x] nor do i want my mayor to take up the position :/ --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]]

:::I think he will. Of course, you don't have to let ''him'' live either. And your mayor won't do any noble's job except his own. --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 12:13, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

::::he's been safely disposed of, and his weapon is being used by one of the n00bs sparring in the barracks :] he's not been replaced so far, but if one comes during the next wave of immigrants, he'll get the same treatment. let's hope he brings with him another steel axe; it's in short supply on my map :x --[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]]
