Tip: There's two common stones that can withstand the heat of a creature of fire like fire imp without melting: Dolomite (sedimentary flux) and Periclase(found in marble in small clusters). All types of coal materials also technically work, though they will be set on fire.

If you use some mechanisms to spike them, might want to make them out of those materials. Though it's pointless if what you attach those mechanisms to can't withstand the heat.

I'm gonna need that advice. Troglodytes from this spit out magma when angry and it always burns down the entire forest, to the extent i had to make my own fire resistant surface wood (Thats what the blue wood in future screenshots is)

So, the evil biome to the west of my fort IS a zombie raising one, that should be fun when i reveal the circus. For now, my citizens are transporting food into my building so they dont have to go out and get it.

Summer has arrived, and thus far, all is going well. I limited my embark to 4 trolls, due to the fact that in vanilla for any evil race they only cost 1 embark point, but i also have 2, more expensive, infernal octopus men assisting in the fort. The only problem is I wont be able to get much off the caravan; i havent struck any materials yet. I'm gonna try and speed produce some bone crafts from my pack animals to at least buy some extra booze and meat.

I managed to get some trade done thus far; my dorfs are mass producing bone and wood figurines, which we sell at a bonus due to their import agreement. I got a Giant Cave Mantis!

With the merchants gone, and migrants fresh in to help production, i suppose its time I start a mine and try and dig up some ores. Maybe I should start a well too... And beds are quite important... so many priorities

It appears my post is a little dated so time to zap it into oblivion.

Well already most of my starting seven have died off; Tried to raid a human caravan. Okay not most, just two of them; Still theres blood everywhere. good thing they didnt die IN the evil biome. Note to self: Train my military in blunt weapons. and fast; I just narrowly avoided an undead flying sea serpent.

Oh my god, I just saw the battle of a life time; a horse stuck in a tree vs an undead coelocanth! That poor horse's mouth exploded into teeth everywhere-AAAAAAAAAAAAND one of my trogs joined in, and a forest fires starting; glad i stored a bit of wood wait, no, no fire yet; just autumn leaves. Also, the horse and trog won, then the horse walked off map since it was from the human caravan i sacked
