Interestingly, and rather problematically, an occasional glitch happens to me where the merchants cause the game to freeze up every few seconds. It happens when they pack up and leave, and abruptly ends once they leave the map.

So far, I don't know if it happens to every merchant race, or just the dwarves.

[Urist is dead tome]

Still pretty quiet 'round here. And I still, simply, have too few dwarves. Mining and industry continues unabated.

[Edosurist]

Digging out a huge underground pyramid, completely engraved, everything made out of aluminum (wow, I got lucky finding clumps of that stuff), completely smoothed and engraved obsidian walls, maze through the pyramid, in which pressure plates open and close doors, multiple levers, put the dead dwarf in the tomb, filled it with MAGMA! Only to remember that aluminum is not magma-safe...
Well, at least I thought of it in a dream, not in real life. Maybe I'll try it but with obsidian instead

Maybe not fill it with magma, but leave a bunch of adamantine armor/weapons and export the save with a map of where to find the fort, as a sort of quest for adventure mode? I'm suprised that there's no where to share saves like that. I might make a thread for that later, once I've actually made my super dungeon.

My Grand master potter keeps making statues of Kara Boltsmokes, my expedition leader, and the diety of love.  Endlessly.  Only occasionally spitting out a statue of the journeys of a night creature and a generic statue of dracon.

I have 7 statues of Kara, 3 Statues of the goddess of love, and 14 total pottery statues. (I'm almost expecting a masterwork statue of a square next)

THEY DON"T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER.

At least they're almost all porcelain, nearly all masterwork, and worth a ton and a half.

Finished my awesome entrance (a downward spiral in the ground). Lost a miner to a vulture attack (and subsequent failure on the medical staff's part). Looking for the caverns but can't find them. It's weird, since I just used the regular world gen.

EDIT: A Mayor has appeared! He's mandated the construction of 2 adamantine items. Since I have no justice system in place yet I'm just going to ride it out.

[Newbunkle]

This week, in Ubas Nīng... My first baron is now my first count (no, I didn't misspell it). I've also just finished constructing a "pasture" above the volcano - for all those lovely pets. My population is now 230, including 47 dwarven children. I've never had above 150 before. (O_o)

A giant bat being ridden by a sieger flew into a natural waterfall.   The bat kept flying, the Orc General however was washed off his mount and drown.

[CinnibarMan]

GIANT FUCKING CAPYBARAS! EVERYWHERE!

ONE OF THEM JUST ATE MY BEST WOODCUTTERS FOOT! WHAT THE HELL?!

[Newbunkle]

Uh-oh, the king has arrived. I haven't even started making any royal rooms yet. :/

The puppies fell all the way to the bottom of the volcano before being burned up.

[Ferrus]

I just embarked on a 3x3 area with no metal. At all. Not even Clownium. 

[jaxy15]

A babysnatcher came in.
It got killed after someone in my squad wanted to axe him a question.

[malimbar04]

damn it... got a mayor. Apparently the cap on population is just fuzzy enough that I got 54 people. but I don't want a whiny noble! Anyways, he's getting a huge room where the old farms were. It's huge of course, but it's also nothing but furrowed mud.

My stupid pet drowning chamber has a flaw of being connected to a well. I don't know how to fix that, so the well has to go. Damn, I liked that well too.

Both of my legendary carpenters have had fey moods by the way. They also both produced wooden caskets. The second one also has a picture of the first one on it. Apparently he was a jealous copycat, or an apprentice or something. I like them though, they're classy.

After looking at the crafts we're producing, I found some interesting history. I haven't had a goblin yet after 3 years. Apparently they were killed by the elves, because the story of Ngom the goblin and some random elf is legendary. Maybe I should pay homage to "The Strifeful Siege" at "Spelldungion in The Tooth of Spreading".

I'm currently working on moving my alpaca farm inside, but the location I dug out has a problem - it's mostly stone. I'm wetting it with the hopes of growing grass on it. Unfortunatley, I don't know if grass will grown on mud alone, even if it is outside. This might cause problems. 

And crap... they're just ignoring the population cap. I just got more migrants. Do I loko like a charitable group? half my dwarves are sleeping in mud! bah. The new plan is to build outdoor noble housing. The second part of the plan is that they will be self sustaining - living on well water and plump helmets for the rest of their existence. Actually, screw plump helmets - grow some strawberries.

Let's see... almost all of my workshops are now made out of zinc, which is pretty fun.

The shipment of bismuth bronze and steel was made into bismuth bronze mail shirts and steel short swords. At this rate, they'll be well equipped by the end of the decade.

I now have a working

[PainRack]

I love my new fort military. I had my second Forgotten Beast stream in through the cavern and organised my 20 meelee dwarfs to fight.

Rushing through the staircase, my speardwarf scratched the turtle, only to be counter-charged and knocked to the ground, stunned. And just as the turtle stretched forth its mandible to crush him, my hammerdwarf went up and faced him. A gigantic turtle, with two mandibles, its massive bulk towering above the dwarf. And Gortex decides to give it a one two, punching its front foot with his left and right fist!

I can just imagine it going "Ok punk, you wanna a piece of dwarf, you gotta go through me.", raising his fists like Mr T.

To follow up, he then unleashed his hammer and then based the same foot, before dodging to the rear.
As the FB stood up, he then completed the finale by bashing it right in its mandible.

edit: And just as the FB gets enraged at all enemies, my speardwarf decides to punch it in the head, just to silence it.

Just... amazing. Its more dwarvenly than choosing to bite some rotting zombie foot or something anyway, which used to be my combat reports:D

My entry road is setup so you have to go through parts of the 1st and 2nd cave layer to reach my gate.
A human caravan arrived and the 3 soldiers escorting it killed 4 out of the 5 forgotten beasts on my map. The 5th hid in the corner.
