Thanks for the help, but everything ended badly.

I had four die of thirst then a goblin ambush occurred.  I was too busy digging a new well to realize that I forgot to get my off duty wrestlers weapons after I put them back on duty.  Pikes and maces beat dwarven fists, go figure, and I ended up losing five legendary meat puppets. So in training a new army the game seizes up when my marksdwarves began using snake/frog men as target practice.  Of course I hadn't saved the game recently and basically lost way too much work.  I'll try again next week.

Actually, it's Tarn. Can't imagine who'd name their kid that, but...

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I have a question about that multiple well system.  i tried that in one fortress and the upper level wells said no water available (actually i think i made it a water source zone and it said "zero squares" of water) so I am assuming that it couldnt get water because the well directly below it was in the way?  is that right?

plz help me out on this one.

Edit:  well, just had a dwarf (my master crafter) die of thirst 3 squares from the well, where he was hanging out ..... apparently not smart enough to drink...(sigh)
