An important Dwarf Fortress legacy announcement update!!!! This fortress is called helpedrack! The population here is 113 dwarves, I'm quite excited to get a monarch on the scene to rule the shit out these dwarves! Check it out!
Caption: This was taken during 3 simultaneous goblin ambushes, I managed to pull the drawbridge closed in time, that's when this snapshot was taken. But shortly afterwords some migrants arrived and were promptly slaughtered, the surviving 2 wild eyed migrants, with the deaths of their allies fresh in their memories, blood splatter still caked on their trembling dwarfy hands, had the gall to walk right up to the front of my fortress, goblin hordes in tow, and demand to be let in! Well, I've always thought of myself as a fair ruler, only butchering the ugly kittens and so on. so I opened the bridge, and you can guess what happened next. My shitty military squads did sweet FA while the goblin ambushers bum rushed the entrance in an orgy of debauched slaughter, fitting, cause each and every one of those goblins got an ass full of wooden spike, but not before they managed to take down one of my favourite dwarves-old Timmy McIdle-now forever half-assedly immortalized in a budget coffin somewhere near the clothier's shop, we'll miss you Terry.
Don't know if this should go in the story section or not, consider it a caption for now.
Really nice job, Laser Cake. In my next fort or two, I'm going to try for a more natural look, too. I always seem to get really bored of my forts when they follow a specific, predetermined layout. I'd prefer them to be unorganised but with character rather than super-efficient and bland.
Thanks, I like a fortress with character too, post the screens when you got em.
