I started your standard dwarf fortress with a bunch of the bearded drunks we all know and love. Warm climate, lots of trees and plants, Untamed Wilds. My previous forts were in the untamed lands, and they seemed well... rather tame. I was expecting excitement when I started in a location like that.
Well this new region did not disappoint one bit!
in my first year alone, which I must point out... was my most quiet year so far.
Large beasts were a constant threat, packs of roaming beastmen loved to stop by and say hi, sometimes the large predators would attack the beastmen for my entertainment.
The surface is a delightful natural war zone migrants coming in were faced with a death march to get into my fort!
A gnome caravan rolled in without an armed escort and they all were mauled by a giant tiger... free stuff!
To commemorate my survival of this first year I was rewarded with an artifact Iron Pike!
and oh boy, my second year was quite the wild ride as well!
Because of my more tame settlements, my military was slow to form so when winter came I was VERY unprepared for a Titan to wander in! I did what any rational player does in dwarf fortress, and turned my entire fortress into a militia and threw them at the big bugger!
After a long battle we had a new hill of flesh decorating the map, not just the titan but around 45 dead dwarves as well. 10 were reduced to cripples and 5 either went insane or slipped into a deep depression.
This moment alone made all the other hostilities that happen on my map seem tame by comparison.
Year two was very eventful, and it seems I am being allowed to catch my breath for now into year three with a large influx of new migrants. I am now starting to build up a military focused economy and I am training three full squads of fresh dwarves to earn their place in my bloody keep.
