[Reign on your Parade]

I need to try to do this in adventure mode SO badly...

[Splatterpope]

Carry around a barrel of booze and a torch for those times when you just need to clear a room in style.

There's a video of the last sparks of a wine barrel going off, but I forget where it is.</STRONG>

Edit: I'm an especially big fan of the virtually limbless horse after the explosion.

I accidently mined into the magma on one fort, I did so on a higher level than my main fort so the magma was likely to flood my entire fortress. In a desperate attempt to save my dwarves I made few quick changes to my irrigation system and turned it on, the resulting flood hit the magma and created a wall of obsidian. So about half my dwarves were dead but my fortress was safe and I was ready to start over so I headed over to the lever conrolling my irrigation system to turn it off only to realise in horror that it was now encased in obsidian.   :roll: My only survivng miner had a red spinal injury and his pick was sitting in a pool of 7/7 water so I had no hopes of tunneling out, and my central staircase was both flooded with magma and behind a wall of obsidian, had to watch as the rest of my fort having been saved for the magma drowned instead.

Wow.  Talk about alcohol dependency.</STRONG>

Are dwarves smart with fire now? They wouldn't put the flaming corpses in the graveyard beside the food stockpile, or bring anything on fire near the booze. They'll happily through a muskox over the ledge into the magma to burn up but won't risk harming the booze. I'm going adventure mod to further test this.

I can't find any booze at my old fortress. All the barrels are empty. And I can't buy any from the human merchants.

hmmmm... I think I'm going to rig up a booze explosion trap.

One of my fortresses died when a http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Giant_eagle managed to fly into the main gate of my fortress. We all know what happens next.

[Quietust]

Er, this thread is nearly two years old. Was it really necessary to resurrect it?

[Diakron]

yes it probably was

[mission0]

Found this hilarious

[KiviGerbil]

Losing IS fun..

For a fortress i had the (silly) idea to protect myself from outside stuff by using war dogs. Also it was my idea to gather lots of dogs and cover the magma vent with floor tiles, so i wouldn't get fire imps and i could make magma forges.. and stuff.

So i had lots of dogs, and lots and lots more of puppies, hundreds.

When i tried to take the magma vent, something went horridly wrong.. someone caught fire. Fire spread in my fortress, burning all of the dogs and other things. Finally my fortress was filled with boiling dog fat.

I'm really bad at this

 Alright, so I modded humans to have crops that take a long time to grow. I also modded them to be used in building material for ceilings(Straw ceilings, anybody?). For the first couple of years I only used it for food. Then I get the grand idea of making some shelters for the population.
 I didn't make enough flour first.
 By the time the crops had grown everybody had resorted to hunting vermin and only hunting vermin. No jobs could be had. Then the slow sinking into insanity and RAEG began. Corpses were everywhere. By the end there were only two people left, one was trying to die from a segment of wall that was only one level tall. the other tried to drown in the half-filled inside moat, but had learned swimming before drowning.

 Every attempt at reclaiming that place resulted in a named titan that had moved in there that had maxed strength wrecking the reclaim crew.

I forgot how pressurised the ocean is, and tried to use it in a waterfall. A waterfall at the TOP of my fortress. Five minutes of lag later, and all of my fortress is filled with 7/7 water, and my dwarves are all drowning. Best bit was, it revealed about 5 kobold thieves in my fort, and they drowned too!

[SquirrelWizard]

Makes me wonder...<P>If you stick a fuse in a Dwarven Booze barrel, what will happen?<P>Also, when caveins start working, those Booze Blasts better cause some!

I got fed up with a oceanside fort once. I dug 10 channels into the ocean. Then died from a goblin ambush before the slow water could flood my tiny fort
