My recent fortress...
« on: August 16, 2012, 04:13:30 pm »

So, I had a GREAT fortress coming along, all happy, bearly no idlers, metal system starting up, good milita...
Then a Zombie seige came, people were gathering wood.
The Caravan died and so did 20 dwarvs out of 117.
THEN a group of trogledytes killed just about everyone in my caves,
all of 40 dwarves.
THEN a DRAGON came, killing the zombies and the necromancer.
The Dragon flew into my fortress... Killing the bunch and scattering the rest into the caverns.
So now I have a few dwarves, slowly starving to death...

I write this as they starve...
I have truely experienced fun, havent I?

Too bad Dragons can not fly, Isn't it?

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'

Not that it matters, although yes, they cannot actually fly.

I did not mean fly, as in he flew right through us?
We tried to get the gate up for our milita to kill it... and it flew right threw them.
Not as in fly, that was not what I ment.
Sorry for not making things clear.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.
