This is actually a pretty fun game, but it is an incredible pain to learn all the things. I've been playing this for the last week or so and haven't lost once. Maybe I'm just that good, I don't know, but if you don't mind me potentially screwing up the entire fortress, you can count me in.
Also, I got a few questions:
- How do I get my Trader to go do her job at the depot? Sometimes when the liaison comes she spends the whole time 'Conducting Meetings' with him and then the caravan leaves. I do the normal required things, but sometimes she just doesn't bother.
- Is there any way to remove zones, because pressing x on them does nothing.
- How do I get the rest of my animals in the pit? As far as I know I've selected all of them to be thrown in, but when about half are in the pit the dwarfs just ignore the rest (and the pit still says 'Not Full').
- What is the purpose of fortress guards? So far all they've done is as soon as enemy appears, no matter where they are they drop what they're doing and rush single file into battle. Being no more then civilians, they were met with a swift death and managed to depress most of my military to the point where a few went insane/melancholy and others threw tantrums.
