DF2014 Talk:Relationship

Can dwarves who were once friends stop caring about each other? I have two miners, great buddy's, until i sent one to channel out a system, and he fell out of the bottom, a 2z level drop into a cavern.

Is it safe to send the other guy in? or will it spiral?

Friendly Acquaintance

I'm noticing a "Friendly Terms" that is different from "Friend". Anyone know how this fits into the relationship hierarchy? --Squirrelloid (talk) 22:49, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Do "long-term acquaintances" still exist? I don't see any in my fort's relationships on a cursory look in v43.05. I do see a lot of "friendly terms". Did the name get changed from "long-term acquaintance" to "friendly terms" in this version? Does the dead of a "friendly terms" dwarf cause negative thoughts? At any rate, "friendly acquaintance" is now included in the list of relationships, but I think the article could use more information about this. --2128 (talk) 00:10, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Second lover

I'm not quite sure how this happened.

By the time I noticed, the husband and lover were both dead. There was a time after her husband died that her lover was a ghost, and they interacted for a while before he was put to rest. It's possible the lover romance began after he was already a ghost. Again, not sure exactly what happened since I didn't notice their relationships earlier. --2128 (talk) 22:57, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

More than one master at a time?

Is it possible for a dwarf to study under more than one master at the same time? --2128 (talk) 00:10, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Relationship forming mechanics update for temples and taverns

I don't think I've ever seen any of my dwarves doing a "chat" activity in my v43.05 fortress. They do "Socialize", they sing music, they listen to poetry, they tell stories, and I don't know quite how all of these activities affect their relationships. The ones that spend a lot of time in the taverns seem to get to know each other. --2128 (talk) 00:21, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

mutually exclusive?

Is there any relationship that are mutually exclusive? e.g. can two dwarfs both be friends and have a grudge. --Jan (talk) 23:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
