Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Amberjewel fortress records, 3rd Malachite 93

The new Baron has started throwing tantrums, culminating in a vicious shirt whipping that bruised an armourers bone.




That shirt must have been hurled with some malice.  Hurriedly the dwarves made plans to enlarge the microcline grotto to appease their Baron, and so hopefully avoid further bone-beatings with ragged clothing.

Real life has taken over this past week, so I'm gonna try to power through as much as I can in the next couple of hours and then upload.

Poor The Mad One. You know that we can advance to be a duchy, etc, and become the Mountainhomes, even without a living Baron, right?

AWESOME!
OK, I spent far too long making that.

Well, that's good, at least.
Does anyone know if it's possible to make Urist a vampire via convoluted DFHacking, so he will live forever as the mad, flute-related saviour of the fort?

Hehe, what about... and this is just thinking out loud... not interring the Mad One and letting his ghost roam the fortress?

Hmm, both ideas have merit, but I like the ghost idea better. It would be even better if Urist's ghost was a non-standard one: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Ghost

Clint's Log, 10th Galena 93

When I took over the fort was running smoothly, we had more wealth than a dwarf could shake a pick at, and the tomb was content.  In less than two short seasons we have hit new highs and sunken to new depths.  The joyous news that our founder and leader was to be a Baron was quickly tempered by the actualization of a suspicion long held - that only someone truly insane would embark on a glacier, and only the foolish would follow such a dwarf into what he termed, "our glorious blue tomb".  He now wanders the halls with only a right mitten and a right sock, muttering to himself, silencing dwarffolk in his wake.



The beating he administered shortly before his fall into insanity seems to have infected the minds of the commoners.  In another fit of clothing rage, an innocent cat was savagely beaten to death by an unknown miscreant.





If I cannot protect the cats, I must resign my post as overseer and militia commander, in shame.  For posterity I leave the Yeti Pits...



On the left is the training area.  The walls and floor are ice-coated, because I felt it would make the yetis more relaxed to be in a familiar environment, even if it is under several thousand dorf-tons of rock.  (This took an ungodly amount of time to construct since the ice melted on-the-freaking-way to the room, so the masons would often arrive with a puddle of cold water in their hands, look at it dumbly and then cancel the job).  To the right of the yeti pens are rooms for the Yeti Whisperers (who may pass on their title to their children, Yeti Children), and a dining hall with adjacent prepared food and drink stockpiles.  They have no other labours enabled other than animal training.

A future overseer may wish to move other animals into the same training area, or expand on the number of trainers.  Oh, and please remove me from my post, and just have me as a regular recruit in the macedwarves.  If the Mad One dies, I was thinking his corpse might be hauled into his grotto which is then sealed.

The mayors pissed me off with their demands so I refused to meet their demands.

If The Mad One perishes of his insanity, which the Chief Medical Dwarf tells me is likely, I wish him all the best in the afterlife, and hope he doesn't rip out my lungs.

The save file.
