Training to become Urist-Saiyajin 3 with an adventurer.

- Getting a wereape curse
- Getting 3 Husk/Thrall/Zombie curses
- Setting myself on fire
- Carrying a minecart full of magma, so I can throw "ki-balls" at my enemies

I really don't know if it's possible to get more than one cloud curse and I'm not sure if a living thing can be tough enough to be on fire for a whole month without dying, but I'll try.

Once the next update is released, I really want to just make a massive tavern or something, and just do excessive amounts of tavern stuff. I'll make a fortress entirely based off of a tavern. Then maybe I'll slowly replace it's entire population with non-dwarves, and make the elves do all the woodcutting and carpentry. There's just so many things that could be done now that were previously off limits it seems fantastic. I wonder if I could make a gnome fortress. If I remember correctly, I think gnomes might be intelligent enough to join civilizations now, so I could get a gnome fortress. They'd all be tiny, and have worse stats, and steal alcohol all the time, but they'd also basically be immortal. Maybe I could make a gnome tavern, that'd be fun. People would go there and be like "whoa, look at all these cute tiny gnomes serving me alcohol. This is amazing, I'm going to tell everybody about this!" Then it'd become a world famous tavern, and the only known gnome settlement in the world. Maybe I could even get so many gnomes in that fortress that the civilization ends up having a huge gnome population overall, so then I found another fortress and get gnome migrants and get more gnomes and get rid of all the dwarves until slowly the civilization becomes entirely gnomes. Then I could found decent sized fortresses with the gnomes all over the place to get them to conquer the world and defeat every other civilization on the planet! Hahaha, gnome world domination!

Alright, so, I guess that's my current personal goal.

My current goal? To keep playing my current fort until it's the mountainhome and has magma forges, although it's already down at 10 fps.
(There's a fb made of flame constantly setting the walled off lowest cavern layer ablaze and evaporating the cavern's lakes. Lots and lots of smoke, steam and flowing water...)

"whoa, look at all these cute tiny gnomes serving me alcohol. This is amazing, I'm going to tell everybody about this!"

You forgot the next line of that quote.

"Hey, what happened to my drink?  It was right here a minute ago!"

I always have a few dreams that I'd like to one day fulfill. A few include, in no specific order:

 Fortress Mode Goals:
   1. successfully create a Mountain Home.
   2. create a cloth industry
   3. create an aesthetically pleasing fort
   4. breed War Rhinos
   5. breed war Dragons
   6. create a working military
   7. successfully create a mountain home in the mouth of a volcano
   8. replace all my wooden barrels with clay pots
   9. not die from clowns

Adventure Mode Goals:
   1. shove a pixie, fairy, or firefly into a vial and use it as a lantern.
   2. successfully manage to collect a pot of bees to throw at my enemies.
   3. create a character whose only weapons are 30+ knives and daggers. (master thrower)
   4. become a martial artist monk, capable of pounding demons to a pulp with his bare hands.
   5. Create a character whose sole weapon is a crossbow and a crap-ton of vials of poison
   6. work my way up to the head of a massive empire.
   7. Have some form of trophy from every significant kill I've had.
   8.

Go to hell and back

   9.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

find a vault

   10. Learn necromancy, then raid every tomb, crypt, and temple, making sure to raise every well known war general and hero from their graves, after which I then over-throw a government.
   11. Have a "pet". (toss some vermin into my backpack and ensure it never leaves my side)

adventure mode will be so awesome when version 1.0 is finally out......

Oh Armok, will it ever! There is no list long enough to list everything that I want to build, destroy, tinker, toy, manipulate, and try out.
It's like christmas!

Personally if the new upcoming tavern update would allow it, i would like to create a glass surrounded gladiatorial arena/elevated podium arena for human and goblin specific entertainment as a goal, because their ethics like that and I probably live train a couple of soldiers on some stock beasts i've left to rot in cages and become wild again for that purpose as a side project in that area i achieve maximum value out of it. No building destroyers for obvious reasons of breaking the glass and/or a function that will open floodgates in the walls allowing rampaging beasts riled up to rampage and wipe out unruly guests and patrons commencing a lock-down of that area until the military Dwarves move in to clear out and pick up any trinkets left behind.

(even if there is no 'spectator sports' in the taverns, ill probably organize a crude one anyway for my own purposes.)

As to my very current newbie fortress goals, my goals dont extend much further than trying to successfully pierce aquifer levels (with long standing plans to make 'mist corridor barracks' in the long run by joining up pumping stations together in a continuous line and manually attaching floodgates in order to achieve on demand flows to supply the falling water facilitated with little FPS with grates and automatic water drainage)on top of combating lack of beer and food and the ever increasing waves of migrant cheese makers working out patterns and base designs that 'work' sufficiently and to a moderate level efficiently.

[indyofcomo]

simple goals:
-- have a military and defense strategy which can defeat sieges with little losses without just walling myself off
-- good farms
-- clothed dwarves

Success!!

[FantasticDorf]

Goals are as follows

- Figure out and refine design for my aquatic pens (project portfolio thread coming soon! watch this space, im working hard on it)
- Play with raws and above goal enough to enlist amphibious sea hunters with trained orca's/whatever else to hand that will hunt and retrieve sea animals (if pathing isnt totally wonky to stop me)
- Carp attack dogs (see both points above)
- Open a windowed sea world venue tavern
- Once pens are established & functional, figure out the minecart system to offload surplus whale & fish goods.
- Find a seasonally freezing river/lake/sea and do construction work in it, build a rapture-esque bastion isolated fort and/or a wagon route travelling under the water (by denying land access to a select number of tiles - and probably die when zombies arrive and break the windows)

Longterm current goals
- Flood the circus (death to FPS!, will probably savescum when my computer explodes)
- Raw edit a lava dwelling fish with crystal gem/glass eyes, and build a summary lava aqua pen using the same/modified design.
- Steel - Rain the circus by dropping literal steel bastions of death, either pre-made or constructable fortified balista's and markdwarf positions until i can slowly wall the big top up. (Theoretically if i flooded it, it would stop clowns spawning i think from the edges)
- Kill switch flood the world and release the carp lever, fortress will survive forever thanks to whale farms + farming, or use as a weapon to freeze everything under 20+ layers of ice.
- Build a statue of Urist Atlas holding a ball of slade - Make it my king's palace.
- Make remaining clowns/captured clowns/farmed clowns (by abusing spawning rules in my 'water portal') dance in the king's palace (see above) and in a tavern in hell by chaining and caging them up for amusement.

DF goals bug my thoughts, aquapens especially have made me sleep very little for thinking about them.

[LMeire]

I'm trying to make fortresses based on some sort of cross between Dragon Age dwarf cities and Dwemer ruins, basically just really hazardous in general with traps everywhere and rivers of magma in important areas. It's been pretty fun so far, though invaders end up having most of it.

Also, I make sure to always embark with a high-level scholar of some sort, who becomes known as the "Uristotle" upon the fortress achieving a Barony. The goal there is to use philosophy in an attempt to brainwash everyone that visits the library with superior dwarven values, unfortunately, I haven't been getting very far with that yet, as citizens and guests alike seem to prefer suicidal debauchery in the tavern no matter how fancy I make the reading/writing areas.
