What is the worst evil weather you have ever had?

Mine was an evil dust storm that immediately killed anyone/anything it touches, and immediately necros it. Whats worse is that this during my terrifying glacier with only a plump helmet and a copper pick on embark, with all peasants.

I'd say the worst is the instant thrall/husk clouds.  Had two embarks with those, one got a flock of ravens.  I never opened the surface again.  The other got my livestock before I could even dig my hole.  That fort lasted maybe a grand total of five minutes.

The worst rains I've had have all been blistering - one which blistered every external body part so bad one person went blind from blisters on his eyeballs, and another which also blistered every external body part but also caused uncontrollable vomiting.  So much vomit, everywhere.  They were surprisingly good about cleaning the inside of the fort of vomit, though.

I almost always exclusively embark in evil biomes nowadays just to see what weather I get.

Insta-husking murk that blows straight in to my half open air fort. It was the second cloud too.

That's that fabulous slime that you posted about in the, "What's going on in your fort?" thread, right? Arguably, all the purple makes up for that.

Blind dwarves are less dumb than sighted ones.

Ayup.  Sadly that fort got lost due to numerous mod tests and random save deletions.  I shall miss all the purple. ):  I seem to get a lot of purple evil rains though, it's kind of cool.

You would think that, until he couldn't kill anything running away from him because he couldn't see it.  Watching someone chase a fleeing animal down 50 zlevels and across the caverns catching up numerous times but never actually being able to attack it is just sad.

The land raised the dead.

The weather caused internal bleeding and exploded lungs.

The dust created thralls.






'twas the best embark I ever had!

[Findulidas]

Thrall weathers are common, or atleast they used to be. Whats really interesting is what type of weather it is. I once had goblin vomit rain, which probably is the worst type Ive seen.

Kind of makes me wonder why those dwarves decided to build a fortress in there. Did one of them just thing: Hmm, Vomit. this seems like a nice spot for our future home.

You are pretending like the immediate area outside of the mountain-homes isn't already covered with vomit. Probably reminded them of their old home. All they need to do now is add magma and blood.

..We need !!Vomit!! rain that doesn't evaporate because of the !!. I have to remember to try modding that sometime.

[stuntaneous]

Ah, I'm glad my clouds only put things to sleep. 

[I am Leo]

Rain that seemed normal, but was so hot it melted all my dwarves.
I may by thinking of ordinary rain a few versions ago.

[Alastar]

Does anyone else wish evil biome effects were a little more subtle?
There are hilarious mishaps once in a while, but "don't expose anything to it ever" is actually a little dull gameplay-wise and annoying when dwarven stupidity makes your perfect safety measures not work even though they should.

I think it'd be cool if the effects were barely noticeable untils years in.

I got this bug here that sometimes mixes my Creeping Murk clouds with the Acrid Ooze rain. At embark, my rain husks things, then for the next ~2 years it just knocked unconscious. But now, in the 3rd year I'm again seeing some undead being converted into "Giant Thrip Creeping Murk Zombie corpse".

I can see where some people don't like it, but I the tension of "walking the line" trying to grab things off the surface and survive.
It took me 15 embarks to get setup, but I accepted the challenge.
