"A ass devilish diplomat from Mebaspesor has arrived"

Shouldn't that be AN ass?

Now, if we could only mod Giant War Eagles to carry crossbows, we could do strafing runs on the elves who sold the eagles to us in the first place.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Urist McUselessNoble's Mandate has ended.

Unless i remember it wrong.

I know it's not that uncommon... but "Urist McDwarfyDwarf cancels task, interrupted by Batman" is an old time favorite of mine. I'd probably stop hauling rocks around if I saw Batman too!

"Urist mcMarksdwarf cancels shooting at archery range: Too insane."

That..doesn't sound promising at all.

Not as bad as:

"Urist Murderaxe has gone berserk!"

Pray Mr. Murderaxe is inside a room with a lockable door...

Well if you remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag from dwarves I think they have like 2-4 children each time they give birth. And if you get enough mothers up on the pillars you can probably get a good waterfall going.

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.
This could be a handy way of teaching preschool children mathematics.
