[GuesssWho]

I think my hunter just killed a wild yak with a crossbow. Am inexplicably proud.

Has anyone else had similar moments of glee?

[They Got Leader]

I once caught a cave dragon. I think that was less "glee" and more "WTFAWESOME "

[Rtyh-C]

My fortress was a very happy, drunk mess of midgets. That is, until the goblins decided to attack me. 5 ambushes, one right after the other. Together, they killed about 10-20 of my 110 dwarves. Having no military, I fought back with miners and hunters. Miraculously, I survived. However, I had my first tantrum spiral right afterwards, which ended several months later with 11 sad survivors (one of them, a baby, later died of infection). Immediately afterwards, I had my first siege. Stopping it was easy though, I just locked the front door After a few more months, they decided it was pointless to wait for me to open the door, got bored, and left. An elven caravan arrived soon after. I opened the door, got ambushed and promptly lost.

Yes, I am really proud that I lost Finally, it's not FPS death that gets me.

When i released HFS totally by accident in a glaciar fortress. Cue a totally awesome moment when the glacier melted and the whole fortress
sunk in the boiling artic sea.

[Cozmopolit]

Giant eagle chicks have hatched.

Only took 96 years of this fortress to finally breed something useful.

[Nyxalinth]

My firs encounter with Necromancers, I still didn't know what I was doing with the military.  I managed to kill enough zombies that he turned and ran, taking most of his friends with him.  No losses on my part.

[Splint]

When a single macedwarf armed with akimbo maces killed a giant noseless horse FB. It was a colassal hooved monster, hence my joy.

I was expecting that dwarf to die and leave three unhappy kids and a widower. She's the fortress champion now.

playing adventure mode for the first time in 3 years was actually kinda fun when i finally managed to not get myself killed long enough to take on a bandit camp and win. though my biggest pride moment was finally figuring out the newer military system to something that would allow me to actually use it without having my entire fortress turn into happy funbags of dwarf blood.

[Berossus]

When my champion duelled a goblin swordmaster, both in copper armor with copper weapons, and after 4 pages of blocking and dodging and glancing he just had enough and bashed the greenskins skull through its brain with his bare fist.

[Mimodo]

When my legendary archer took a nap outside in the middle of a siege, only to get up and slaughter every single one of the goblins and trolls, without a single injury

[WaffleEggnog]

When one of my Dwarves just chops some or ll of the limbs of something off. Just so satisfying having my badass run in and chop a few poor fella's hands off.

[misko27]

When a ambush was spotted by a off-duty military dwarf, who immediately activates and evicerates all of them.

I was building over a watery cavern. Then a spidery forgotten beast showed up, and crawled onto a walkway.
...Then one of my dwarves, the Mayor no less, came charging in, became enraged, and wrestled the Spider off the walkway. The both fell down into the water. As He drowned to death, He punched it in the head until He broke its skull.
It just laid paralysed down there until one day i accidentally shot it with an archer.

Random pride: A dwarf carved an artifact bone grate that was adorned with an image of an artifact ring from a previous fortress.

Wait, spiders have skulls?
