Honestly, I'm surprised I got as much out of the caverns as I did (a lot of gold and a LOT of wood.)  I figured I'd be shutting it down a month after it opened.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I laughed at the mafia baby incident. Also, another artist impression of our latest foe:

How did people become artists before Dwarf fortress anyway?

It certainly helps me that the game gives such comprehensive descriptions of everything.

Out of curiosity, were dwarven profiles of named characters ever posted?

I did :P
Just match the last name. You can already see Urvad there.

Edit: Futurepeoples!
Mastahcheese's wounds is easily cleared by a bit of wound dressing and suturing.
Soap just cleans it and gives a  :D
Which I lacked.
Just make an aboveground hospital (which I think is visible in one of the screenshots I have there--the northern part of the outer fortress next to a bloody wall) and set the CHIEF MEDICAL DWARF to do nothing.

(It's nice to see it being canon that Urvad becomes mayor.
...4mask didn't die in mine, and Urvad became mayor anyway XD)


Edit: Monkey kills too!?
Maaan :I Back in my day...people just swam in the river instead of being knocked out there.
(easy fix: just d > n [or is it o?] > RESTRICT River.)
Seems people just wanted to go for a swim...(and died on me :C)

Also...the cavern bridge is retracting. :P

So what I was trying to do with 4maskwolf's death was to muddy up some tiles in the lake biome to see if we could plant some different crops, like an aboveground cloth plant. So I built a pump and since I knew 4maskwolf wasn't doing anything since he was mayor I had him operate it. Screw pumps pump out a lot of water, you see.

And unfortunately, it didn't even work. The farm plot I put down there couldn't grow anything.

Yeah, aboveground farms are a bit screwball.  That's why you have those weird farming pits north of the creek; that's how I could get them to behave right.
Not exactly screwy. Just that farms, if it doesn't have any red text in them, CAN STILL GROW FOOD (despite there being yellow text in them). What Toaster did was make flat land (so no boulders) to impede the farms. They're still aboveground, and...well.
They work quite fine.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO WATER THE AREA TO GROW PLANTS. IT MUST BE ON /NATURAL/ SOIL TO GROW.
Caps for emphasis :<

If I die from an infected finger, it's all Jim's doing.

Can that happen? Most of my dwarves won't even go to the hospital for a broken finger, or they didn't before .40 at least.

It amuses me that "Teenage Rowdy Necromancers" fits the old TMNT theme song meter just right.

Nope. Can't die to that.
But they do go to the hospital for it. :P

Sorry for the delay, folks. Came down with a nasty cold and couldn't do anything for a bit. Taking my first real look at things now.



First off, the general stats of the fortress:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


I would like to note that I am a bit disturbed that we're letting Giant Cave Spiders hang out in the kitchen, generally tamed or not.

And I think I've figured out what the Necromancers have been up to. Generally harmless levitation spells on the local lungfish.

Finally, I've taken screenshots of the thoughts/personality section for all the claimed dwarves:

All that out of the way, I'm going to start actually trying to do something with this mess of a fortress. Story stuff to come next update after I've played for a bit.

Screw it, redwarf me as the current mayor, if people agree.  Otherwise just redwarf me.
