Entirely single-minded, but easily distracted. Completely anti-social unless socializing is the task at hand.

Upon the death of a comrade, they must immediately retrieve his socks as evidence of death.

>>3469234
Or their gloves, if their socks are missing due to sparing.

DELICIOUS ALCOHOL.

>>3469333
What about it?

>>3469230
And only amongst themselves. They will talk at each other with all the fervor of a pitched battle, but will completely ignore outsiders in their midst unless they are pissed off by the theft of a sock or the murder of a cat or the like.

>>3469302
Why do socks fly off during sparring anyway?

Seriously, my barracks is always littered with socks that I can't do anything with because someone still owns them but the owner won't pick up.

Only the leader will talk to your group, and even then he'll finish whatever tasks he wishes to beforehand.

>>3469370
Wrestlers wrestle away one another's clothing. Dwarven training is, fittingly, latently homo-erotic.

>>3469370
When wrestling, dorfs grab limbs. I guess socks just come off exceptionally quickly when feet are grabbed.

They are massively strong, each dwarf being able to carry a caged elephant or solid gold throne up fourteen flights of stairs. However, they are intensely afraid of any and all wild animals and will either flee or attack at the merest sight of them.

Fishermen are the most honoured in their society, for they risk horrific death by carp every day for the good of the fortress.

>>3469374
He will also speak awkwardly and robotically, and as soon as he is done he will leave to fetch and ale.

Have a riot break out over the death of a kitten or something trivial like that, that's the dorf fortress spirit!

>>3469413
FUCK YES

Have the queen tantrum right as you enter.

They also hate elephants.

Have one dorf "fond of humans for their haunting\enchanting\beguiling voices".

The moment he sees the party he instantly cheers up and begins to follow them around asking them to speak (or moo), maybe he'll try to make one into a pet.

>>3469554
> maybe he'll try to make one into a pet

I like your thinking good sir

>>3469230

kinda like this, robotic to a fault, but if one little thing happens, shit storm

Love this thread, sage for no contribution.

To quote the DF Wiki...

"Sanity is not a right, it is a privileged, one that must be EARNED."

Case point in which Two of my Champions were sparring, one (an Axe Dwarf) having been with the fort for 8 of the 10 years and been one of my most trusted soldiers. (When a Goblin got knocked into a Pond in the middle of a fight during a siege, he fucking dove in after it and mermurdered that son of a bitch with his axe.)

So I check up on the barracks, and see some blood, and two soldiers who are lying there on the ground. Both of them have a mangled leg. I put 2 & 2 together and figure out that they were sparring, and check their inventories. AxeDwarf Rakust was fine, just had varying Steel Quality equipment. Turns out though the other one, my Spear Dwarf, decided it would be a great idea to go pick up a Masterwork Adamantine Spear and practice with it.

Now here's where it get's funny. When my civilians rush in to help out, they go over, hoist up the good for nothing Spear Dwarf, and completely ignore the wounded 40+ kills Veteran who's one of the oldest soldier's in the fort. They just leave him there. I try to build a bed where he's stuck on the floor, but nope, no one helps him, some asshole actually sleeps in it.
(To be continued)

>>3469570
you just want a manly dwarf to make you his pet

>>3469716
(CONT'D)
The worst part is that every day they would feed him and bring him water, but absolutely refused to put him in a hospital bed. Eventually after a Season, he finally snapped and went Berserk...while still lying helpless on the floor. The barracks swarmed down upon him like an angry mob curb stomping a Hobo, and promptly stabbed out his right eye, broke his arm, mangled his foot on his mangled leg, and then cut off his head. .... and a Dog ran off with his one good leg.

All while the Spearsdwarf sat in his bed just 4 tiles away and watched. He watched the ordeal for two seasons. He'd been watching the whole time. I think he got satisfaction from it too. He already had managed to heal his leg to broken status, and I imagine he'll be good as new by next year.

An interesting note before I go. Good ol "HELP ME, PLEASE, ANYONE?" Rakust the Axe Dwarf, he had 5 dogs, and no friends. He was devout to his god Madush the keeper of Fortresses, and his animals. He was a Dwarf who devoted his entire life to upholding the principles of Dwarven Society and ensuring the safety of everyone. Fucking Iton Beardmist the untrustworthy Clam of fortifications? Fucker has 8 friends, and is passing acquaintances with half the fort.

oh, and Rakust's Corpse has been sitting there in the Barracks for half a season now.

The brutal indifference of Dwarven Society is well documented.

>>3469716
>>3469738
And they say there's none of the insanity of Boatmurdered left in DF.

And the moral of the story?

forbid adamantine weapons while your dwarves are training.

>>3469738
This paragon of dorfs has recieved a pathetic and insulting death.

I don't even.

>>3469738
Holy shit. Good story.

>>3469822
Well it's not like they tell me "HEY MAN LET'S GO SPAR."

What, am I supposed to keep them on Duty 24/7?

I love dorf fortress, even if I can´t play it to save my life.

Last time, I didn´t know how to make a fort and my Dwarves starved to death. I-I just can´t turn on the game anymore and stare at their dead corpses, rooting and rooting...

>>3469856
Unless you want them to train, yes.

>>3469858
Make an underground farm, bring some plump helmet spawn.

You don't even need to cook 'em after they grow.

>>3469858
You pick a spot with tree's and mountains, and usually there is a dirt layer you will dig into before you get deeper into the mountain. Depending on how thick this layer is, you could set up a small farming production here.

Usually I dig into the mountain, and then in the area of loam outside my fort, I set up an underground farm so I don't have to irrigate.

/tg/, I think my dorfs are going Greek. What do I do?

>>3469950
Well I've got vomit covered miners who aren't even wearing any clothes.

This image is dwarf fortress psychology in action.

>>3469950
What the fuck kind of bedrooms are those?

>>3470048
Looks like some sort of... religious homosexual architecture.

>>3470048
The unnecessarily large kind. Also, I don't have enough to do with my shit-tons of rock.

>>3470048
It's the early zelda game dungeon design.

Personally I believe in corridors.

Since we're already dorfan, about how close to the bottom Z-level can I get before dying of an adamantium-related demon invasion?

>>3470188
KEEP DIGGING
/dorf/
FUCK THE DEMONS

The one thing that they love above all else is a really really really nice dining room.

All the dorfs live in the worst kind of squalor, but they have a fucking beautiful dining room engraved with pictures of dwarves talking with dwarves, with furniture encrusted with gemstones.

>>3470188
You can get there. There isn't always adamantium.

>>3469738
/r/ moar stoureez

>>3470188

You must dig more greedily and more deep.

>>3470208
Their obsession with dining rooms is such that, even if multiple loved ones have recently died, a dorf can still be outright cheerful as long as they have access to a sufficiently decorated dining room.

But this might instead be a veneration of all things food-related, as dwarven civilizations have been known to demand upwards of $5,000 for a set of ten well-cooked meals.

>>3470211
Oh yeah, forgot about that. We shall PIERCE THE DEPTHS WITH OUR PICKS!

>>3470188
Not every area has "hidden fun stuff". Only mountains and even then only specific regions of mountains. You can set your game to display the cyan & or whatever it is that shows the location of adamantine+demonpits. The adamantine doesn't actually surround the pits (which I don't like, it's supposed to be holding the demons in) but instead radiates in straight lines in 3d. So you can find adamantine several levels above and a dozen squares away from a demon pit.

>>3470286
...am I the only one who read that:
>We shall PIERCE THE DEPTHS WITH OUR PRICKS!

>>3470366
Yes.

>>3469738
Oh god this was awesome.
