378: Necromancer Towers are to be feared.

(Been under siege by the undead since the first winter, it been 5 years now since they started...)

Armok's adamantine balls...

Armok's adamantine balls...

It now at 658 undead and 5 Necromancers.
Working of a plan to beat the siege, just hope my miner survives it...

[Ivir_Baggins]

The Necro method, is it?

[warlordzephyr]

Forgetting to put traps in an entrance corridor is not a good idea.
The new military system it not at all like the old military system, and should not be treated as such.

380: Always make sure your moat isn't channeled out above anything you haven't walled off, flooding a fortress you spent 30 minutes pre-designating isn't fun at all.
381: Mine carts save time and destroy cats, this can replace the fun wasted on step 380.

#382 It is best that any dwarf expanding a pond, or digging a well, actually know how to swim

[Grax]

383. Once you realize how to play Dwarf Fortress and what all these ASCII symbols mean, there's no way back. You doomed. You'll never find the strength to not play DF. Especially new release. Plan your future life accordingly.

383b. Unless you get bored of it, like me.

383b. Unless you get bored of it, like me.

383c. Any time without a craving for dwarf fortress is a temporary lull. You will, eventually, grow bored of being bored. Especially around the time of a new release.

[TheDarkStar]

384. Make sure not to have all your crossbow ammo laying forbidden across the map.
385. Don't unforbid those bolts during a siege or your entire fort suicides into the goblins.

[StubbornAlcoholic]

386. Dwarf artwork is never rooted in happy subjects, yet is uniformly hilarious.

387. If dwarves migrate too fast, it is hard to bond with them and the game becomes boring.
387a. It's a lot of work to atomsmash 2x/30 dwarves every migration wave.

[Orange Wizard]

388. It's even more work to dump them in a sealed, +menacing steel spike+ danger room and make them fight an FB, but is far more rewarding.

[eliphas8]

389. Lavish meals made by high skilled cook attract a massive price from merchants and can pay for far more food than it took to make it. Plan accordingly for this. (not bad so much as awesome)
390. Tantrum Spirals are made infinitely worse by having only one central staircase.
391. Wooden spears accidentally placed in the danger room rather than their training counterparts will kill the member of the militia member who is most popular.
392. A tantrumming legendary hammer dwarf is entirely capable of wiping out my entire militia of grand master hammer dwarfs.
393. Platinum Forgotten Beasts are kind of disappointing but their spittle rots the nervous tissues of your dwarves after awhile.
394. Having a kickass dining room only prevents tantrums up to a point.
