Hello there.
If anybody here is a Dwarf Fortress player, you know that it can be kind of hard to keep track of dwarves names. At first, I nicknamed them after some of my friends. However, the dwarf population quickly overtook that. As such, I'm looking for names. If anybody wants a dwarf named after them, let me know. If you include any further specifics I'll do my best to accommodate. I'll post a screencap of their description after naming them.
Who else on this forum plays it? The user groups I found seem pretty dead. What advice/stories do you have about the game?
I'll start with a recent story. Early in one of my fortress' life I had a large amount of dogs. They kept breeding and breeding. I believe I had about 15-20 dogs running around and only 16 dwarfs. I learned how to train war dogs, so I turned 15 of them into war dogs and had them wander around the fortress halls. Not even 5 minutes after that, I was attacked by an elf caravan that went berserk after walking by. Never found out the reason, but I suspect the reason was all the logs I hadn't put into storage yet. (For the uninitiated, Elves are like hippies: smelly, dirty, and hate when you mess with the environment.) I was alerted to 3 elves running at my fortress, trying to kill my woodcutters. They only made 1 hit, which alerted the war dogs I had just trained. Poor elf didn't stand a chance.
