Okay. The great communist reform has begun. First, nearly all of the dwarves got their profession changed. Now there is only haulers, builders and some special guys like mechanics and doctors. I ordered the farms not to grow any crops. We have ~9000 units of food and ~2000 units of drink. For about 70 dwarves. We have two animal trainers, two doctors, two smiths and everyone else is either mason or just hauler. I disabled all stone-, wood-, food-, and item hauling, because we really don't need them. We don't have to producre anything.
I rearranged military to small homogenous squads. Their barracks and shooting ranges are in those great ice halls. The uniforms (I made new uniforms for them) don't have weapons assigned beyond the fifth position, so remember to assign more weapons if you make squads larger.
So this came. It would be awesome to capture him and put to the labyrinth. Unfortunately the goblins killed him.
I started to seal off the caverns. Instead of continuing the previous overseer's walling project, I just floored some stairs and cut off large parts of empty corridors and things. I was very lucky, since I got final floor built just before that FB arrived nearby - it was really like six tiles away from the stairs. Ah, sometimes dwarves don't fail completely!
So our Chief Medical Dwarf, Njals, built a tunnel tube door. Why does everyone want wood for thei artifacts. Like they don't know that we're living in a Armok-forsaken glacier.
Matoro, the captain of the guard and the overseer, had her dining room finished. Those wooden tables might be even more luxurous than the golden ones. You know, because we're living in a Armok-forsaken glacier.
Some humans come to trade. I made them to take our garbage near the depot. They took it and left. Trader profit was someting like 45k dorfbucks.
... woah, that goblin civilization has a plump helmets as its symbol. So this is the reason why do they keep attacking! They want our plump helmets, since they can't grow them by themselves!
Nearly every single iron mail shirt and helm has a symbol of gobbo civ in it. This may break some of the Geneva conventions...
And, speaking of them, the executions of the prisoners are not going well. Since we have few dwarves and incredible amount of hauling, I didn't dump their weapons. I dropped some into the yeti/cat -room. Yetis suck. They are idiots. They made that one goblin elite wrestler. Military killed those goblins. Also, I used the siegers as a live archery targets and engraved some fortifications at the room with those hovering stones.
Then I made some "open goblin cages in the middle of training session" -executions. They weren't effective. Neither was my giant clothing dumping campaign or animal butchering operation. Keets are hatching faster than we can butcher them. So the anwer is...
So far I've atom smashed 33 animals. We have about 70 animals left, most of them ordered for butchering (except war animals and yetis). This makes me remember one fort where I atom smashed children. I learned about tantrum spirals in that same fort.
I wondered why no one was dumping stuff into my atom smasher, so I decided to follow one dumper. I found some stupid chute. I think it was used for dumping seeds for farms or something. Well, that chute wass full of everything. I deleted that grbage dump and smashing begun.
Also, it's hilarious to pasture animals on a lowered drawbridge and then pull the lever... Animals fly everywhere.
Why do we have two human diplomats here? I didn't care much about them, we don't have any need for trade agreement. Other one came and said something about ending the war. What war? Do we have a war with humans? Hell, I'm probably the best overseer ever. I don't even know with whom we are at war. And speaking of war, siege arrived. So those diplomats weren't able to leave. That siege also killed a dwarf caravan. One speardwarf-merchant charged in a martial trance into a goblin marksman squad. He was killed. But hey, he kept fighting with at least six arrows in his body. That's a lot better than Sean Bean ever.
Another merchat hammerdwarf bashed the brains of two trolls into the snow and made whole troll squad retreat from the map. Then he was shot down.
Oh, some marksdwarf hammered that berserk-diplomat till death.
And now begins the part which was so large scandal that I had to resing from the overseer's position.
I ordered goblins to be dropped from my apartments. It was a drop of 7 z-levels.
And it was the most chaotic and embarassing execution ever. Hardly any of the goblins were even harmed. I still don't understand how that was even possible.
Also, those falling mechanisms nearly killed half of my military. And then there was a goblin elite lasher.
Oh, and then there was a fcking minecart. Which had killed two dwarves already.
Half of the military had to go into the hospital because of this execution. Some goblins even escaped to the ice halls and caused massive job cancellation spam.
And then this happened. A goblin hammerman versus a marksdwarf Kikrost Matchcobalt. One speargoblin had severd his hand. And then that hammerman attacked. They were far way from the other dwarves (most of the military was hunting down that speargoblin). I was sure that the goblin would kill that marksdwarf.
Kikrost disagreed with me and proceeded with bashing that goblin with his crossbow eventually becoming a hammerdwarf. Goblin tried to flee. Enraged Kikrost ran after him and fell him into the icy floor. They wrestled. Neither of them was able to kill the other one. The tie was broken by a swordsdwarf, who came and killed a goblin.
Also... at the final day of my reign, there was a depressed human diplomat who tried to kill himself by jumping off the cliff. In the room of the MAGICAL HOVERING STONES. He fell into the hospital and broke many bones. Sadly he didn't died.
So situation now: We have something like 60 dwarves (casualties came from minecart accidents and failed execution) and many in the hospital. Military is sparring and armed with adamantine. There is a siege waiting outside. We have a plenty of everything. I have pastured the most of our animals to the atom smasher, but it takes a time until dwarves have pastured everyone there. We have many cool cave crocodiles. Maybe we could start a taming/breeding program?
We're drowning into the prisoners. Maybe someone could make a magma drowner and bring every singe prisoner there? I'm pretty sure that those ~160 stupid useless units (the animals and the prisoners) are on of the main banes of the FPS. It was now 66 when I arrived to the spring.
SAVEGAME HERE. WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT SUCKER TO RULE THIS HELLHOLE? ANY VOLUNTEERS?Someone dorf me.
The next overseer will, I noticed this after I had already uploaded the save...
