Two toddlers against the world
« on: July 14, 2014, 02:35:29 am »

I had 48 dwarfs most of the evening, but try as I might I was having zero luck brewing drinks.
Planting was a complete failure, and I wasn't bringing in any plants I could brew from, and the water froze over.
So suddenly in the span of about 10 minute, 46 of my dwarfs died of thirst.
I still have two babies sitting comfortably in the fortress, as it fills with the stench of death.

They might get driven insane or straight up murdered by ghosts before migrants can show up. Get on slab or coffin duty as soon as you get migrants.

They died.

Dehydration is FUN! :P

I've sent a party to reclaim the Fortress now. What a horrible selection of dwarfs I started with this time around. One dwarf had excellent percentages for everything, while the other six were all very low percentages in everything. They'll do until the migrants start arriving though :)

Guess I have a lot of corpses to clean up and engraving to do.

Wow. Reclaiming all the loose stuff from a fortress takes a LONG time.
I'm several hours, and years of game time in and they've barely put a dent in it.
It didn't help that they had the clothing of 68 dead dwarfs scattered around the map too :D
