Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but..

"Deadly Dust isn't THAT Bad"

[zebri]

Well, im sure my dwarfs will survive a few months without alcohol until
the next caravan arrives.

[Ancre]

"Well, there's nothing dangerous roaming in those caverns, I'm sure raising a wall can wait a bit more."

And then, troll in the staircase !

[Flying Fortress]

The the earliest fort I can remember.
"A vile force of darkness has arrived!"
"The doors are shut, the wall is up, nothing can get in here."  3 things I had no idea about:  1. Trolls bash in doors. 2. When a dwarf that got stuck outside dies all your fortress runs out to collect his socks using the emergency exit.  3. And goblins can quickly find said emergency exit.

And my all time favorite: "I have more then enough cage traps to catch the annoying FB, destroy the wall Urist McUseless."

[Ultimuh]

"Pull the lever! PULL THE LEVER! AGH! Fine! Die everyone!"

[hjd_uk]

"What do you mean FB's can fly up wells? ... "

[Musashi]

"I'm not leaving the caverns open for long anyway."


Cue the troglodytes.

"All this Titan can do is shoot web. Oh, right, Toady fixed the web-shooting! Bah, it's just webs anyway. The previous monster was a joke."


30 seconds later, the Titan was in the fortification-labyrinth leading into my fort, and was constantly shooting remarkably spread-out cones of web. No one could move. The only marksdorf who could shoot him depleted his stock quickly. And it wasn't even standing on top of menacing spikes I could use.

[Gigaz]

This stone is propably just wet from the remaining water and we can dig it away safely.

Maybe if we smooth the wall from the diagonal tile and then dig it we can cheat on the aquifer.

[hjd_uk]

^^ Related: I bet this isnt aquifer, its just damp from above...

[peskyninja]

"What?! 61 migrants in one WAVE?!"
"Yes sir, and there's more. 51 of them are children."

[Brotato]

"Eat all the Candy!"

[KtosoX]

Before knowing what "aquifer" means:
"That wall is wet? I'll just let the water flow till whatever river or brook on the other side dries out."

"Ok, time to double check the list:
 - full copper armor and candy weapons for my soldiers: check
 - candy spikes in a long corridor: check
 - a crap ton of ammo stocked in the shooting gallery: check
I'm ready for the clowns!"
The clowns took a shortcut to my dinning hall through the caverns...

"I wonder how much food I will get out of that unicorn!"

[Darksilverhawk]

"Oh, a waterfall? Sounds like a great idea! I'll just use the river water here..."

Waterfall: 3
Dwarfs: 0

[Eric Blank]

"I don't see how designation construction from the side of this bridge over this enormous river in a deep conyon could go wrong. Dwarves would be smart enoguh to build it in the right order, right?"

"My militia can totally kick those tigermen's asses. They showed up naked and unarmed. Forgot the booze but still..."
"Oh. Their war-dragon mounts didn't uncloak with them... bugger."

[Shinotsa]

"Release the Zombies!"
(Forgetting I had no way to re-contain said zombies. In hindsight the goblin army WAS decimated by an undead horde. Granted my fort was decimated by the same one +30 some goblin corpses)

"Well there's only ONE bowman, and he's flashing bright green. Must be half dead already"


"They'll get to that last part of the wall eventually"

"Well I don't NEED a legendary dining room."
