as soon as you got to the bit where you found the forgotten beast thing I just had to ask....

does this mean your dwarves delved too greedily and too deep? :D *hides*

[captnduck]

@Draekrio nah. Check out DF2010 part 08. Thats when i dug to greedily and to deep.

[Gavoon123]

I have a question I got my Dwarf Population to 200 hundred and I didint get attacked 1nc I got bored.... I quit. Is this a glitch of what?

[captnduck]

@Gavoon123 Do you export stuff? Try making some expensive stuff, electrum crafts for example and selling those. The more worth your fort is the higher the chance the goblins will come. But it can happen that goblins become extinct in your world during world gen. Megabeasts and forgotten beasts should still show up then though

[TinariKao]

Hello Captain Duck. I've watched all your old tutorials and now watching these to see what's new in DF2010 as you call it.

The only thing I wanted to mention was a small grammar thing you've put in the text with your videos. When you could use the word "as well" instead of "too" it's spelled with two o's instead of one. Just a little useless comment from a useless youtube viewer. :3

[captnduck]

@TinariKao heh. I spell check the vids with the inbuilt spell checker in opera. But i guess it didn't find that.

[bewareofgeckov3]

I don't think it's creepy at all that people love your accent, you should be flattered. You could walk up to anyone anywhere and be all like "Hi, captnduck here." and then they be all like "Damn, let me sleep with you."

I stopped watching at 3:55. I'm looking for a tutorial on how to build an army, not watching your ambush in progress and learn about forgotten beasts. You may want to think about renaming this video as a courtesy to your viewers.

my fortress is currently under siege by goblins and humans and there is a forgotten beast made of Slade in the caverns

[urgamecshk]

atleast losing is fun!

[hiothezebra]

My first ever fort, gatesteepes (Terribly made and managed) encountered a forgotten beast, made entirely of fog, correct me if I'm wrong but this type is unkillable, I was freaking out, my military was an unarmed un-armoured un-trained shermozel with terrible stats, they where against an unkillable poison cloud... the creature then drowned it's self. :3 crisis averted!

Linking to an old SA thread is folly. It costs 10 bucks to view. Why not just link the LPers channel?

[lordvivec87]

>Not having 10 legendary axedwarves in full steel by the end of the first year.

I seriously hope you don't do this.

[Bioreek]

@i3kick4ur7ass well actually you rememberize which symbol and color represents what entity. Given this takes awhile but still, lol.

[i3kick4ur7ass]

@EvilCook1e because they are new?

[EvilCook1e]

@i3kick4ur7ass That's what I mean. Tutorials are for new people. It would be even harder for new players to get into the game with confusing symbols. Why can't people use a tileset?

[Agora2021]

I come for Dwarf Fortress.

I stay for the awesome accent.
