You can assign a war dog or hunting dog to help a dwarf out with fighting or hunting, respectively.

Assigning animals To assign a dog view a dwarf and check their preferences. Then select "Work Dogs", e. From this menu you can assign any dogs that are available. From that point on they will follow the dwarf and cannot be unassigned.

Training animals Training animals is done at the kennels.

Guard animals You can also restrain (or cage) animals to act as guards and unchain them when an enemy is spotted nearby, allowing them to attack.

Once the restraint (or cage) is built select the restraint (or cage) using the "Set Building Tasks/Prefs" menu, q, and assign the animal to it. A dwarf will haul the animal to the restraint (or cage) and lock it in. Use the q menu again to release the animal.

Animals in cages require a dwarf to let them out, or a lever or a pressure plate connected to the cage via a mechanism, to unleash the animal within. Animals in restraints need a dwarf to release them. Animals in restraints can move to the 8 squares surrounding the restraint, animals in cages cannot move. Animals can detect ambushing creatures and thieves.

Hello, would you be able to create a Talk page with the following question for me?:

"Do children born during fortress mode (or worldgen if you can find out) adopt the dieties of their friends/parents, or are they assigned a random diety? Is this with immediate effect from birth?

Thanks.

Josh"

Thank you! :)


Hello, I'd like to open another talk/discussion page for "Size" (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Size) with the following question:

Are there any combat benefits to SMALL dwarves?

On one of the pages for an older version of DF it notes that large creatures like elephants have a hard time landing a hit on small creatures like cavies. Would this alleged bonus to-dodge and/or penalty to-hit modifier translate in any meaningul way for smaller dwarves?

Done. --Lethosor (talk) 19:05, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


I'd like to open a talk page for DF2012_Talk:Relationships with the following note (two paragraphs):


The royalty section is inaccurate. I have a second-generation native-born dwarf in one of my fortresses who has a plentitude of aunts and uncles and listed maternal and paternal grandparents. I'm not sure why having those relationships is only noticed for royalty, but I think it's partially because shorter worlds mean smaller lineages and partially because most forts don't last long enough to see native-born children grow up, get married, and have children of their own. I really don't think there's any reason why extended family would be limited to royalty in any case.

Anyway, I added parents to the Types section, and also grandparents because I hadn't noticed the Royalty section. I'd add Aunts/Uncles but I'm not sure where they fall in on the list, and baby Sarvesh doesn't have any cousins yet.


Thank you! --Lielac (talk) 02:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I feel that DF2012:World_generation should cover what goes into history simulation, as it is obviously different to simulation in fortress mode. However, this is not a matter I am educated on. I would put this request on the page, but I cannot yet create a talk page.

Done. Just do it yourself next time. Just create the page and add "#REDIRECT" followed by a space and the link to the page.CLA (talk) 22:19, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
The reason this page exists is because anonymous users can't create pages. —Lethosor (talk) 12:09, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Oh, that makes sense. Should have figured that out on my own.

Other requests

  • Could there please be a smaller version of the "D for Dwarf" template, maybe one that leaves the text joke near a sentence, so that we don't have a big-ass banner for little one-off jokes in articles and reserve the "D for Dwarf" template for entire sections or articles? 68.56.148.200 23:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Can someone include a discussion about how dwarfs choose which jobs/tasks to do if they have enabled multiple labors and there are jobs in multiple labors on the DF2012:Labor page? Is it based on which job is created first? Their skills / traits / attributes? Which labor they are highest ranked or their titled profession? This seems to be an issue in the LPs I've been watching early on when there are only the 7 starting dwarves, sometimes extending into the first migration. I know a solution is to deactivate other labors, or use burrows, but I'm still curious how it works. Thank you, 108.243.77.185 03:08, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Hello. I wanted to know how to make the tiles uniform for the ground. I'm sure to have read somewhere once that it was possible to change the tiles to be all "." (I am currently searching for a Goblin Snatcher for a while now ^^). I searched for "ground" what has yielded me a link to above ground page. There was no link there. Could make one to the relevant article or indicate the settings to do please? 31.164.176.33 20:04, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Hi, im new and just want to start translation of the wiki into german. im really into this game and i guess i still could learn a shitload of new stuff by doing this. AND there would maybe be more players around if and when i/we translate. not every german is fluent in english. -f4nt4sy F4nt4sy (talk) 15:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
See here. It's been suggested before, but it's been hard to set something up on this wiki. —Lethosor (talk) 03:22, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I'd like to create a page under the centralized discussion for a proposal of subnamespaces for stuff like creatures, skills, etc. under a specific version. Stuff like DF2014:Rat becoming DF2014:Creatures:Rat. I'm not sure if the software allows this, but I thought I'd say it anyway.
