When a dwarf dies of old age.

Sig'd

[slothen]

When Operation Frame Rate Recovery is a success

DEFINITELY one of the best feelings of all!

For you I think the best feel would be noticing something obscure, taking it to the community, following it up with good ol' dwarven science, and then reaching conclusions with implications far beyond your wildest imaginings when you first noticed that thing.

translation: he had a lame legendary hammerdwarf and some people (not me) discovered that in fortress mode all new births are of pygmy dwarves approximately the size of cats.  Presumably due to magma/adamantine radiation.

Yes, indeed!  I just thought Edem II's bad luck was something intrinsic to him, not something so widespread. He was the very first fortress-born dwarf of mine to join the military, so I paid a lot of attention to his combat logs.  And to think, I almost lost him after only 2 years of service!

Creating a dynasty of dwarven leadership and seeing their bravest sons grow up to claim glory far in excess of their humble beginnings as parasitic booze leeches.

Yeah, I'm thinking of Weatherwires here. Although my current fort is in the process. Once the young'uns grow up and are ready, ill pass on the mantle of leadership and let the old ones retire in comfort and luxury. Life is good in CrystalBulwark right now.

Successfully pulling out of a tantrum spiral with only a handful of losses.

When my marksdwarves don't start bashing the cave dragon with +Wooden Crossbows+

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

when I get a noble punished for violating their own export ban.

[dewboy]

When my pride and joy 5 year old fortress that has not yet been defeated in combat suddenly starts falling apart from:
A. tantrum spiral
B.Goblins that somehow got in and caused A
C. No booze
D.Its winter causing E
E.no water causeing F
F. injured dwarves dehydrate
G.noble starts throwing people in jail

All at once. I love this game

[pisskop]

Learning something new.  Like how a zombie racoon is homies with a normal one in arena mode if I side them together

[McDonald]

My best feelings are when healthcare system works, finishing a stupid dwarf trick (I just love how gobbo and elf corpses get whirlpooled into a drain in my drowning chamber ^_^ ) and managing to get my marksdwarves to shoot.

When you find the vampire that has been terrorizing your fort.

When your defense system works perfectly.

[Loctavus]

I second Firsal's comment about the defence system. Watching an entire invasion fall into your automated death machine is a beautiful thing.

[dewboy]

Watching your line of amazing death traps rip an ambush apart even while your fortress crumbles from the inside

[JerBear]

why, that'd definitely be letting in the uninvited (huge sized or otherwise green and dwarf-sized) guests into my fortress.

1. patiently wait till everyone is in.
2. shut the gates.
3. introduce them to my extravagant variety of !!FUN!! ( such as the crossbows welcoming committee, iron ballista roadshow down the hall, or the saltwater crocodile petting zoo)
4. honor the blood god and fun god
5. weaponize the leftover metal and corpses into bolts for welcoming the next batch of guests
6. repeat for !fun! and profit
