One more reason to love Dwarf Fortress.

So yeah. I just figured out how to harvest rock nuts. 

In other news, I fought off a goblin ambush, with axeman riding giant rats. And war cave dragons which bit my dwarves heads off.

In other other news, my FPS has improved.

I remember getting annoyed with the forests on the surface constantly regrowing over my defenses, so I paved the entire surface with rock salt.

No trees ever grew back there again.

It was as successful fort.

I had a battle, many wounded, no thread, damn you loom! A caravan! YAY!

The elven caravan had thread! after 45 minute of buying out the entire caravan
"How dare you kill these wonderful trees you (uncouth, crude, and barbaric etc.) fiends."
Huh? some where in my billions of trade goods I had a piece of wood? I coulda sworn I didn't..
"How dare you be so inhumane as to care about a dead tree enough to forsake the dying." I said to the screen.

"If you cared for your peoples lives you wouldn't have killed the tree." The elf in my head said.

"I thought you were supposed to be wise. The tree is already dead. What you can do is ask that I doen't cut down anymore. But no live in the past." I said back to the screen.

"Your dwarves will die because of the past. And you will learn." the elf said

...

Now usually I am an extremely honorable guy..

"You forget the present, oh wise elf." I said.

The elves had to leave through my barracks airlock.

I gathered my entire military. when the elves passed through my airlock, it sealed with them and my military in it.

My wounded got the treatment they needed asap.

Just tell her that you were merely doing what the voices in your head were telling you to do.

It's only because the Elves are racist and view you as sub-elven.

Today i had my first volcano embark.
The Area is so incredibly scenic, its f*cking beautiful to scroll through the z-levels very fast just to get the mental image.

The volcano is in the center of the map, a tall peak, with a smaller secondary peak to the right.
At the foot of the smaller peak, a secluded grove has the only trees on the map, which i walled off and connected it to the entrance into spire secundus, which also has my farming industry inside at the clay base, and a stairway up until the access tunnel into spire primus where my living quarters and the rest of the industry blooms.

Really, i freaking love this site and i love this game.

My son, many speak of the honor in war.
My preferred method is to wait until their back is turned, then impale them with a pike held by someone else.
Preferrably from a distance.
