Put the meat in the moat and make a meat moat?

Or..... drain the moat and then add meat? Make it a miasma moat!? Would that work at all? Like, make siegers that come running along the moat-side start to throw up and stuff from the smell of decaying meat-product.

Probably wouldn't work... I worked in the meat dept. of a local supermarket and the meat barrels (containing meats in various stages of rottenness) didn't really bother me too much. Am I not dwarfy enough to be disturbed by that miasma?

Oh, obligatory...This is a pretty awesome thread :D I like it very much, I get the Title's feeling everythyme I start up this game right now since I keep having to restart due to some problem I see with my designs and overall not really knowing wtf is making my dorfs do such stupid things. IE-> NOT WHAT I TELL THEM TO DO!!! :'(

But, yeah, pretty good thread ya have here, keep it up, reach something fun, and then conquer it with extreme prejudice like it was an elf on lsd on fire

Digging's a lot like surgery, see -- you grab the sharp thing and then drive the sharp end of the sharp thing in as hard as you can and then stuff goes flying and then stuff falls out and then there's a big hole and you're done. I kinda wish there was more screaming, but rocks don't hurt so I guess it can't be helped.

Sadly, those are all prepared meats from butchering EVERY ANIMAL I COULD CATCH and building about 10 butcher workshops (*checks* 9 on the surface, one under). So they're delicious, but not like to cause miasma. Also, I need to figure out what to do with my stacks of hundreds of dragon meat. I have 3 extra kitchens set up and it's taking forEVER to clear this shit out still. Anyway, I'm leavin' rewatchin' of Avatar: The Last Airbender rolling while I'm going to run myself some dorfs.

As-is, the moat can't be emptied because it's running through the brook.

THIS COULD NOT POSSIBLY RESULT IN FUN LATER. NOTHING WILL ENTER MY FORT THROUGH THE BROOK/MOAT AND BREAK INTO THE WATER SUPPLY.

Edit - Guys, we have a problem: I'm safe.

The fort is walled and protected by skilled marksdwarves who fire from a tower. I have a fair amount of armor - mostly leather and what metals I can buy - and my primary issue so far is running out of places to put shit.

I need less safety and more Fun. Recommendations?

Colonize the caverns? Or perhaps you can search for another Fun Spire to snag some more cotton candy?

This is a pretty damn interesting play so far. :D

Posting to watch. Also, make aboveground structures to store stuff in. That way you can use up extra stone and get more space to store things.

Hmm. Perhaps a stone tower of some sort? Hell if I know. We'll see I guess.

Perhaps he should have one last run in the danger room before you turn it into a well...

Remember that it ought to be a 1z well. Do contaminants (besides the vague "muddyness" and "saltiness") get picked up by wells? I thought they didn't...

I don't feel like doing a vampire fort, so he's probably going to end up in my special Anti-Dragon Taskforce, by which I mean a squad of vampires who make the dragon ignite things other than my two squads of crossbowdorfs.

Also, question from my test here and earlier: Are vampires fireproof?

Only one way to find out...

and by that I mean turning a bunch of your useless peasants into useful vampire test subjects.

If you find a way to turn dorfs into vampires easily and mass-reproducibly, I will make a fort in your honor.

That's easy, just make a danger room with a cistern below and floor grates. Assign your dwarf to a squad with no armor, have him go in, he'll get poked a bit in the danger room, let the blood mix with the water and build a well. Then assign the dwarves you want vamped to burrow in that area and you have your vampire army.
