Dwarves will get married? I thought only immigrants could be married, when the arive at the fort?
– unsigned comment by Doler 12
Dunno about that! but I did rewrite the article. Hope the formal wikipedia style isn't too far out of whack here, slap me if I need it.GarrieIrons 06:19, 5 February 2008 (EST)
- Dwarves can get married at any point, if they like each other enough. Does anyone know if dwarves will ever not 'forgo any formal arrangements'? Someone better than me should write a marriage page. --Niaba 12:27, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
out of date
relationships and marriage has been added recently, so this ought to updated to reflect the new, less mysterious process.
How many children again?
Hmmm 25 children and only 10 dwarves... Maybe unleashing that dragon was a bad idea.
- You think that's bad? 241 dwarves, 70 children. I'm making an entire village outside for all of them... when you hit the pop cap, they keep having babies (until 100 if the init.txt is unedited), but you get no actual labor from migrants. It's getting exceptionally annoying in here... 12 years in game, and only 2 children have graduated to peasants. --Gotthard 12:11, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
kids and alcohol
gotta love em when they lift up the whole 56 weight barrel... and thats from as young at two as well ^_^ Twiggie 08:53, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
- The newborns in my fortress "need alcohol to get through the working day". Must come from their mum the Mayor being still on active duty and having one baby per year every year of the fortress so far. Kinda sucks that my most reliable means of "alcohol production" so far is trading in "narrow giant cave spider silk socks (600)" for sly grog!09:07, 29 June 2008 (EDT)
- Actually the quote from the (I guess toddler) is "She needs alcohol to get through the working day and has gone without a drink for far, far too long"!GarrieIrons 09:09, 29 June 2008 (EDT)
child abuse?
my child has a broken upper leg... idk how it happened :( my guess is one of its parents hit it really hard, or one of them sat/laid on top of it in bed - that family often has all four of them in the same bed. Twiggie 08:48, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
:( nobody wanted to feed the kid, or bring it water, so it went melancholy within a year. Twiggie 10:15, 19 May 2008 (EDT)
Noble children don't become nobles right?
I was amazed a noble gave birth. I want princesses and princes, even though they will have beards.--Seaneat 21:17, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
- I've not seen it personally, but the exact opposite is said to be the case. Due to a dwarf's value being set in an economy by how much work they do and their children's value supposedly being a function of both their parent's until they come of age, Noble children end up being paupers since their parents don't need to do any work/get stuff for free for merely being nobles. --Kyace 07:05, 3 July 2008 (EDT)
Happy to be free
I recently had a kidnapper make off with a baby (despite the only entrance to my fort being cage-trapped - NB. it is not safe for baby-carrying women to be Mechanics!), and the child in question currently has a single thought: "She is happy to be free.". Free from the oppressive shackles of dwarven society, I guess. Perhaps the goblins make more toys than I do! --Raumkraut 15:22, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
- Maybe it's just a "joke" from Toady. Or maybe the baby manage to escape the goblin's lair, but it seems strange in the current version (38c).
- I just had one kidnapped and was expecting the parents to get a negative thought. (didn't see one) And I also saw the happy to be free bit under the child. When i zoomed to it though it showed the spot where the kidnapping took place. Probably a bug.--Silver 15:41, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
Child production
Hmm, seems that idle dwarves gave birth to more baby than others. I've got a nervous system-injured dwarf that do nothing else that wander in the meeting hall, and she have 4 children. It should be related to the relationships, because this dwarf is competent in all the the relationship skills... anyone can confirm ? (sorry for my imperfect english) Timst 10:12, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
- I also have a nervous system-injured dwarf wounded from sparring who's beginning to have children. She's the only one so far with the injury or children. --FloodSpectre 17:28, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
Triplets...
Small fortress, 50 dwarves and suddenly "Tirist Dwarfeddwarves has given birth to triplets"... Of course it was military dwarfess... The article page says nothing about huge dwarven litters. --Someone-else 11:19, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
