I'm trying to find that adamantite vein.  Where exactly is it again?  Which cavern?

Keep the digging straight down from the lower stairs, in the level -15 there is a cavern wich the adamantine vein. Are you going to do a "Valley full of cyclops, done right"?

That is the plan actually.  For whatever reason, when I opened your save, my tileset got goofed up, so maybe I just need to refresh that via the Lazy New Pack, because I can't clearly see the adamantite graphic.   I've dug stairs down literally all the way down to the semi-molten rock but not found it yet.  I've seen bits of the cavern on -15, so I'll keep probing around there.

On the plus side of things, I did have a 28-dwarf migration get slaughtered by all of the cyclops. 

You are experimenting the joys of the Abysmal Post    I'll give you more specific directions

Here is the dining room, wich I think it was builded in the save , and at the level -15 directly bellow

the walled part up to the left is the adamantine, if you are going to release the demons remember that they are very overpowered. In my fort I managed to save a few immigrants inside my fortress while the demons were busy murdering the wildlife

Perfect.  I'll check it out tonight   This is a great fort.

a cyclops visited my fort today, i have him in a cage trap now. According to the raws hes not much stronger than a blind cave ogre (which i consider trashy fodder for my corpse-grinders) but it seems cyclops are able to learn faster. They are also aggressive towards invaders and undead (not sure if they are aggressive towards cavern creatures, most above-ground creatures are though).

im thinking of weaponizing my cyclops instead of just butchering him, might put him in a danger room with training spears and then re-capture and pit him in a play-room for goblins.

EDIT: The forgotten beast is dead and I only have one dwarf left, a skilled potash maker

Enjoyable thread, this bit is where I lol'd for real.

This thread has been fantastic and I hope you enjoy your future dwarven antics Skorp! You mentioned a couple of pages back that you thought you were just being a noob failing - I suppose that in having our dwarves murdered by fire-breathing stegosaurs , we're all brethren!

Only downside of this thread has been the people who think the plural of "cyclops" is "cyclopsi". The Latin plural is "cyclops" and the Greek plural is "cyclopes". The former is more typical in English but the latter would at least be tolerable. "Cyclopsi" makes no sense whatsoever.
