That moment when your Countess mandates glass flutes in a frozen tundra.
At least before the update that removed material mandates.

Feels are more powerful than your "moments". This is now a feel thread.

Feels.

[Sonlirain]

That moment when your legendary bonecarver who carved out hundreds of giraffe bone trinkets arrows and armor pieces suddenly gets mauled by a herd of angry giraffes IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN FORT.

That moment when you realize your dorfs are bigger sadists then you are.
I had that moment where I sent a steel-axe armed marksdwarf after a plump-helmet man. He went to him, then cut off every single non-essential part of his body, and then proceeded to bash his head, upper-body, and lower-body, completely into red, with the handle. Did not kill him for 2 minutes IRL, and then Finally, cut his lower body off.

That moment when You realize your dwarves know there way around better then you do.
That moment when a minor member of your military casually dispatches a goblin ambush before you notice what happened.
First time that happened to me, I was shocked. He didn't even seem very good.

That moment when you run out of stone

[Mr S]

That moment when you realize the "You're spotted!  The flying *copper bolt* strikes you in the head, shattering the skull through the -iron cap- and jamming the bone through the brain!  You have been struck down." announcement that all happen before you even realize there was somebody there to spot you in the first place is perhaps one of the most accurate 'realism' bits in game.  And you still ragequit...

[XXSockXX]

That moment when a forgotten beast pops up, you muse over how to deal with it, unpause the game and one of your hunters kills it with a single bolt in passing by.

That happens to me all the time. G

[XXSockXX]

That happens to me all the time. G

It happens, but it was one of my first FBs ever and I was quite speechless. Things like that made the little sockhoarders really grow on me.

Reminds me of ARMA II or the first Ghost Recon game I played.

Anyhow, that moment when you lose your entire conscripted crossbowdwarf squad to a goblin master archer despite the cover of fortifications.
