Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.
Since we prefer that you try to follow our wiki's standards, we've made a list of basic guidelines. This is a template.

  • To let us know who you are, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing --~~~~ after your posts. This can also be inserted with the Button sig756222.png button if JavaScript is enabled.
  • Never put a question mark in the title of a page. Question marks mess things up, and your page will be moved to a different name.
  • When making comments on a talk page, use one more colon before each line in your comment than was used in the comment you reply to. Put exactly one empty line between comments by different users but do not use blank lines inside of a comment. If your comment has no indents, use <br> after each line.
  • Avoid making many small edits to a page. Instead, try to make one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read.
  • Don't edit the user page of another user. If you want to tell them something, add the comment to their talk page.
  • If you put a comment at the bottom of a talk page with section headers, you've probably put it in a section. Don't put things in the wrong sections. If necessary, create a section.
  • Most importantly, read and follow the rules. Really. Read them.

Dude. Epic idea on that flood page. Too bad nobody sees it.
Dude. Epic idea on that dragon defence. Too bad it doesn't work. And has been thought of. It's called the Dragon Pillbox.
For clarification, dragons will only attempt to breath at things they can path to. If it can't path, no firebreath. This is, I think, different from marksdwarves and goblins and such. They only need to see.
The rope prevents that dragon from pathing to the enemy (this is verified behavior for at least GCS). He needs an unlocked, but not pet passable door. This may cause lag. I recommend using 2 doors; one door attached to a lever, that acts as an on-off switch for the dragon (hook up the lever to a bunch of floodgates as shielding), the other unlocked, but tightly closed. Only activate it when the enemies get close. --Zchris13 17:46, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
