What is our current population - and how the bloody hell did you get them inside??!

This is incredible, seeing yet another Battlefailed fort surge back from the very brink of extermination.  It is becoming a defining characteristic.

[Spish]

Current population is 33.

Mainly because the caravan arrived with five fully-armed hunter badasses who immediately began laying waste to everything in Saint-esque fashion without any guidance from me. Backed by a few surprisingly punchy dwarves (and a werearmadillo) they managed to kill damn near half of everything on the map, as there were only around 20 zombies left by the time I let them in. But not to worry, the zombie population is steadily on the rise again.

[Dinjoralo]

Oh, so it isn't just Armok deciding to go throw invisible zombie attracting rods somewhere else. Huh.

I'm having a lot of fun with the fortress. Fell moods, werearmadillos, vampires, zombie titans, all of this barely two months in. Everything is just perfect so far.

Wai-holdonholdo-WHAT?! Zombie TITANS?! We must see the inevitable battle logs! For Great Justice!

[Teneb]

Who died from the fell mood?

[Spish]

I need to stop spoiling stuff and just write the damn updates. It might be a while because I'm not feeling particularly inspired right now.

Oh, so it isn't just Armok deciding to go throw invisible zombie attracting rods somewhere else. Huh.

Well, that too. You'd think they'd all just swarm the dorfs at once, but that's not how the AI works apparently. Zombies are lazy.

[Archereon]

Just thought I'd let you guys know the undead don't attack vampires. If you *hint hint* wanted to make the important dorfs vampires (which also has the side benefit of preventing the important dorfs from being drained by vampires), you could always injure a vampire in a 1x1 whole and build a well over his blood after putting a bit of water in.

[Silverlock]

My first-ever dwarfing!  And I'm adequate!  Swoon, I shall.

You could indeed turn on blood smearing in fortress mode, and get everyone infected with vampirism. Just take away the booze, and let them drink from a contaminated well.

[Teneb]

The problem is that we'd end with ultra-slow and unhappy dorfs since vampires don't drink at all, yet are still suffer from booze-withdrawl. Besides, vampires belong in walled-off 1x1 rooms.

We could perform horrific genetic engineering experiments to correct that defect. For !!SCIENCE!!

Oh. I was under the impression Toady fixed that bug.

[CatalystParadox]

Who died from the fell mood?

Oh man, I missed the part about a fell mood.  You're telling me I missed a fell mood - first one I've ever seen - by just a few months?! awwww

Though it might be productive to sacrifice one or two to this fate in order to send them outside to build a secure entrance, finally.

[renegadelobster]

I think Thaddeus might have a little bit of elf in him, judging by his description

I believe they'll feed on anything (including animals) who are unconsciousnesses, and I think if they feed, it counts at booze. I've been meaning to try to find a way to have a vegan vampire fort, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
