 What I usually do in Dwarf Mode is make a fortress specifically to fail in a spectacular way, and then perhaps explore it with an adventurer. It's fun and !!fun!!.

 Anyone else do so? And if so, post some screenshots. Please? I mean, you don't have to, but it'll be entertaining, right?

I hadn't intended on making my fort Murkyroad fall, but I should have known better than to have retired my necromancer at a mountainhome.

Hello, and welcome all to our tour of the fine city of Murkyroads!

Don't worry, our roads are the finest in the land! Whether migrant, merchant, or monarchy, you are safe with us!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We originally painted the road green for convenience, but as you can see, it is being changed to a more vibrant colour due to complaints!

Please, while on your visit feel free to take a rest by our peaceful and scenic brook!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The best place to wind down and relax with some peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of town square!

Come and swim in our public pool! Fun for all ages! Though be warned, there are no lifeguards on duty!

Unless you count the waterlogged corpses.

Come and play in our Underground Adventure Fortress^TM! Work on the Underground Adventure Fortress^TM has been suspended for the foreseeable future. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Though an unguided visit to the Cavernous Draltha Safari^TM may still be available upon request!

However, merchandise is still available for purchase!

Come and take a walk through our town square, have a rest in our tavern or spend some time in our friendly petting zoo! Take a tour of our glass making factory and maybe even catch a glimpse of the bastard that did this our respected yet elusive mayor Goden Udirkeshan!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So please, stay awhile and mingle with the locals! You will find that they are very friendly!

We hope that you have enjoyed your tour of our fine city and that you may consider returning for another or even moving in!

Here's the rest of the story, if you're interested.

I was not anticipating my necro-adventurer in the least! And I thought the poisonous vapor FB that killed half my military was bad, at least the corpses he created wouldn't rise back up!

When my necromancer showed up, it was right after an ambush, so there were a few corpses for him to choose from. I barricaded everyone in the tavern as the military flailed about trying to keep the corpses down. But it was futile, as Goden saw fit to ignore the burrow order, and just wandered around the town, resurrecting the military that fell in battle.

Then, in a major lapse of judgement, I figured since necromancers are ignored by zombies, I would get Goden to kill them. I threw him in the first squad that wasn't full. Which was the Captain of the Guard's. First thing he did? Went straight to the tavern, ignoring the kill order, and punched some poor SoB in the face for a failed mandate, killing him instantly. The blow sent him flying across the room.

He then went and killed a zombie kiwi. Then raised it. Then killed it again. Then raised it again. Repeat ad-nauseum approx. 125 times before I got fed up and canceled the order.

So I just watched in a mixture of horror and pure glee as the zombie horde grew and spread about the map. Then Goden found his way into the refuse stockpile. What !!FUN!! that was!

The worst part? The entire time this massacre was going on, Goden just kept watching. He never got the "witnessed death" thought once, and was even happy the entire time! His only negative thought was that aren't enough chains and cages in the fort for his liking!

Almost the entire surface is blood now, and not a single merchant has survived long enough to even turn tail and run! I had even been sieged by goblins, and they didn't stand a kobold's chance in HFS! The only things left alive are the caged merchant animals, Goden the mayor/necromancer, and Steamhatchets the Pastime of Soul, the most bad-ass unicorn I have ever borne witness to.

In short, this is the greatest fort I have ever had the pleasure of failing.

Unfortunately, Murkyroads has finally met it's end. It's a shame, it wasn't doing too bad. If only my necromancer wasn't such an avid animator.

Still, it was fun watching several sieges get shredded by my legion of the damned. It wasn't just goblins, humans and elves who had hoped to avenge their caravans came as well. Migrants never managed to make it to shelter either, unfortunately. Though I did get a chuckle when I saw:

Goden Udirkeshan, mayor necromancer cancels Recover Wounded: Job item lost or destroyed.

I almost went into a fit there.

What got Goden was, of course, a vengeful ghost. Even then though, at the end of it all there was still one other living member of the fort, who had been fighting the unholy horde for months without rest. Steamhatchets the Pastime of Soul will never be forgotten. If only creatures weren't automatically culled when a fort crumbles, she could potentially still be fighting a battle she would never win.

I can't FATHOM why you didn't rename his position to necromayor.

no but I do this in real life.

Didnt stand a kobalds chance of surviving HFS? you must have never heard of Deebus the kobald adventurer. He solo'd HFS.

Didn't stand a kobolds chance of surviving HFS? You must have never heard of Deebus the kobold adventurer. He solo'd HFS.

Ah, but Deebus was an exceptional badass, like how Cacame is (compared to most elves and many dwarves). Most kobolds would have surely met their end far before the HFS even became a possibility.
