Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

ON that Lady of the Spawn thing, I have no idea. Something Mr Frog added I would guess, since he made the raws.

[Terrahex]

It's obviously Spawny, now queen and come to negotiate a peace treaty. Let her in, oh wise one

Is it wrong that I'm glad he's not taking a turn?

[Talvieno]

the number of journals each year are increasing exponentially

also, mugs

True... hadn't noticed that. Not quite exponentially, but still.

Huzzah! Alos, I propose the discarded journal belong to Ashsaber the first or HARD.

Update might be a bit, it's my last and the last few days of my reign were... epic.

Okay..... Now you're intentionally trying to make me impatient. lol, jk

As to the Lady of the Spawn... Does she swim? Is her chestmouth stuck out of the water and clutching a sword? Is the sword pretty? If you answered yes to all of the above, it's likely safe. Go for it, get that sword!!!

Honestly, I have no idea. I helped test the spawn, yeah, but I don't think I ever ran across that... Sounds like a nasty little surprise Mr Frog cooked up for us, to me.  I am sorely afraid for us all.

[Splint]

Ok, show of hands: Atomsmashing the possible whatever the hell it is.

I, uh... Already did. Thankfully spring came before she killed everyone, thus making it officially Sus' problem.

[Splint]

1. looking forward to the write-up.
2. SUS, YOU BEST START MASS MAKING STONE HAMMERS D:

[Terrahex]

Sus had better not kill us all, I love this thread 

[Talvieno]

*keeps hand lowered* That thing, whatever it is, somehow managed to escape my attention, so yeah, shoot me, I want to know what it is.

Looks like we're going to find out...   Oh, I hope it spared most of the non-NPC dwarves...

Yes, stone hammers... best way to create an instant army... oh, wow, we're totally screwed.



How did they make it past your pitfall trap??    Are they seriously that trapimmune?

Sus had better not kill us all, I love this thread 

I second those sentiments.

[Mr Frog]

[Tidings of joy and good fortune]

So, uh... how screwed are we? Relative to our usual level of screwed-ness, I mean.

Also: Mitchewawa if you were wrong about upright spikes working on TRAPAVOID I will find you and steal all of your left shoes.

[Sus]

Sus, do you want me to include a situation report for you along with the update? You know, just the basics regarding the urgent-Defcon1-calamity situations you'll be inheriting?

That would be much appreciated, yes.

I knew I shouldn't have posted that comment about Draig having things "under control"...  D:
Do we, uh, have any semblance of a useful military at all?


Also, it may take me until Monday to get the game going due to a little thing called "Easter"... Going to visit my folks back at the ol' hometown.

[Mitchewawa]

Uhh, they do work. Did you link them via pressure plate? Because TRAPAVOID dodges that. You need to do it via lever.

[Mr Frog]

urgent-Defcon1-calamity situations

Or, as the dwarves of Spearbreakers call it, Thursday.


@Mitchewawa:

Rereading Draig's other post, I think he actually may not have gotten around to linking up all of the spikes, which would mean that our fortress is currently being defended by a bunch of really pointy lawn ornaments.

@Sus:

Last I checked, we had a ~17-strong military of fully-equipped n00bs. Buuuut that was a full year ago, so things may have changed.

[Mitchewawa]

Ah. Yeah, that happened in Deathgate too.

I spent so much time reforming the layout of the base and defences in hell, set up a proper front gate with 300 masterwork adamantine spikes with masterwork mechanisms, a functioning archery range with a set of fortifications and moving the entirety of the military from the surface to hell. Trying it out, I killed 4 demons with only one casualty (to this day is the best kill to death ratio in the entire fortress). I just didn't get enough time to link up all of the spikes, so I set out specific instructions to do it.

The first thing the next guy does is build a dining room/statue garden outside my front gate, getting like 20 dwarfs killed. He ends up building in the way of my fortifications, rendering them useless. Also forgets to link up the spikes, so a few demons get in and cripple the military. When a few flying demons sneak in through a hole someone made in the side of the base (you know, for garbage disposal), the entire military was decimated and we lost the hellbase.

Tell me what a spawn Lady is and and I'll tell you how screwed we are.
