Engraving Screenshots

New fort, had a thief try to sneak past my dogs very early on.  Combat log showed a normal dog one shoting the thief.

Then I saw this epicness.

I wonder what a dog's laugh sounds like.

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

The fort where this happened came to an end this morning.  I decided to face an invasion on the field and my two squads, one ranged, one melee, got a kill for every death.  Valiant effort for being half equipped and barely trained.  I am not making this part up, the only survivor on the field WAS THAT DOG.  The fort did not spiral from this, I was just unhappy with how I laid it out and was going to start over anyway.  Pity that dog was indeed legendary.

Don't worry, the dog is probably the king of your home civilization now if you re-embark in the same world.

Dwarf fortress in 50 words: You start with seven alcoholic, manic-depressive dwarves. You build a fortress in the wilderness where EVERYTHING tries to kill you, including your own dwarves. Usually, your chief imports are immigrants, beer, and optimism. Your chief exports are misery, limestone violins, forest fires, elf tallow soap, and carved kitten bone.
