"Hey, everyone.  Remember that guy who kept boring us with his insanely long history?  The one who always complained loudly of not having had a drink in ages right in front of the brewer?  The one who boasted about having slain a bronze collosus once, and who is currently exploring the bottom cavern layer on his own?  Well, I think he might have actually been responsible for that murder and not the guy who our overseer accidentally selected.  Maybe we should stop trying to put him in jail for 201 days."

Replace my bookkeeper, and take up farming or clothesmaking as a hobby. Once in a very, very long while, do some plantgathering. Maybe after I grab the only wardog left alive in the fortress as a mental reassurance.

I'd probably flip shit at that fact I am suddenly in Machineshoots, and then get funny looks when I try to train and fail at it.

My current fort is a special one, with a single special dwarf.

I guess I'd spend my time making sure that the tasks get done smoothly, and generally stay out of the way.

Once the purpose of the fort is done, I would proceed to create a dwarven society of super soldiers - and then slowly start building new forts and constantly increasing the dwarf population.

I would then begin training a special group of doctors and hammerers on the correct response to handle were beats and vampires.

I would train incessantly - covering almost all the tasks possible - from metal crafting to shearing to pump operation to wood making to carpentry. Legendary everything. Then legendary social skills and finally legendary weapon skills.

Then with my new hunters of the secret watch, I would trap a were beast, and a vampire.

I would then first succumb to the were beast curse.


Then I would train the legion of the bulwark. I would build a fighting force capable of holding me down during the period I change forms.

The rest of the time I would help produce enough material to ensure the economic output of my mountain homes is sufficient to constantly afford to train enough cannon fodder and real militia.


This will go on for nearly 50 - 70 in game years.


I want about 6 outposts. Each producing 25 million dwarf bucks of currency a month. Attracting FBs and dragons and all sorts of creatures and unending sieges of goblins.


All of whom will be captured first, and if necessary - killed.

The great dragons and beasts will be tamed. I will set up breeding programs for their offspring which will last a 1000 years.

The dwarves will tame every creature on the planet, and know how to maim/incapacitate/trap/obliterate any others.


The sponges will be used to train my recruits. The goblins will train my half-guards. The high guards will stay in danger rooms.

The best of the best will train under me. They will all have at least 5 skills in legendary before they even begin weapon training.

OF these - I will take the top 6 and were curse them. They will be my generals.

We will subjugate and bring peace to ALL the sentient creatures. I have no ill will with the elves or humans, because I have no time.

I will buy peace with them, throwing masterwork baubles in their faces. I will buy their allegiance till they ride with me to battle.


Once this fighting force is ready - I will cleanse the land of all necromancer towers. Any necromancer who resists - dies. The others, become part of the Magi Arcane.


Finally. After a 100 years. I will make my will known to my legions. We will sacrifice a mountain to Armok to seek his blessings, we will pour the rivers of fire and convert a sea into obsidian in his name. A 1000 dark creatures we will sacrifice seeking his endowments.


Then and only then, will we attack the unclean lands.

We shall make the half-guards and high guards drink the blood of a 1000 vampires. They will be sent first to cleanse the land of  undead.

My generals and I will follow, along with the Magi and the Bulwark army. At every stage we will clean each and every tree, level every mountain and flood every river with magma.

The evil lands will be *flattened*.

Any that fall in the attempt, shall be raised by my Magi first, the undead will die to my vampires. The husks will fall to my shield bulwarks and generals.

My engineers will build a roof over every inch we cover - lest the gloom rain cause havoc amongst my super trained army.

There will be MANY losses. Our worst nightmares being the generals or I getting husked, or the Bulwarks being husked.

Even with this fighting force, I don't know if I will prevail. If all else fails - I will drink a draught of vampire blood at the last instant - and being undead fight the husk thralls myself.

If we succeed. I will decree that the magma taps be opened, and a flood of magma open up and cover the cursed lands.

Finally I shall create a dome to encompass each scar on the planet.

I will then disband my legions, kill my generals and remove myself from living memmory. I will then guard these domes and ensure nothing ever escapes.

I will live forever, and watch as the world reverts back to a time when it had no great purpose, and an age of relative innocence and brutality.

So be it.

Heh heh, would be amusing - but fortunately that problem is solved - my current fort is decently protected, and I send my militia to constantly kill and maim wild life so that I get lucky and get some new animals to train my chosen ones. Plus no invaders currently due to the ongoing mega project.

It is an absurdly complex plan all the same. :D.
