I have some caged goblins, and I'm pondering in which horrible way to kill them. Do I throw them into the badger morgue pit, the fall-to-your-death pit, or make an area and have them be gutted by my military? Maybe an execution area.... hmm, I like that idea...

Oh, and I'm making a green glass megaconstruction, too. It's gonna have pillars of kimberlite, obsidian, billon, and gold, but the central, primary pillar will be green glass.

I dehydrated most of a migrant wave in a sealed off room. A little girl who went fey upon entering the map and a couple high-skill migrants were allowed inside alive. The kid finished her artifact, a dacite toy hammer worth 52.8k*, my first infact, and was still ecstatic when her mother died. I had an extra room dug out that I gave her, and as soon as the sealed tomb was opened to bury the dead she ran in and started collecting her mother's clothing - all of it - which she now claims as her own and has scattered about her room. I suppose I should make her a cabinet to at least prevent her from spending her childhood sorting her mom's clothes wishing she was still alive. Need to hurry up and bury these corpses...

Well, found every dwarf in the fortress thirsty, and wondering what the heck is wrong, and see I'm out of booze, and it's winter, so the river and ponds are frozen. Then I see I've got tons of plump helmets, and am going "what the hell?" I forgot to turn brewing on as a labor on any dwarf. One barrel of brewing later, a swarm of thirsty dwarves swarm the still, and I just picture them screaming "BEER! BEEEEER!"

...but plump helmets make wine, not beer.

Anyway, I just got the offer! Plainplains might become a barony! And best of all, Hotwheels himself turned out to be a dwarf that likes marble and iron, both of which I have loads of. I recommender him. Baron Hotwheels!

Sadly, a crundle of all things managed to kill one of my hunters. I've placed many cage traps in the corridor to the caverns, and so far I managed to obtain a giant cave swallow and a blind cave ogre. And a giant mole...

I have like two legendary cooks.

So far I have repelled two ambushes. Dwarves fully clad in steel do exactly as they should. Better yet, most of them are legendary shield users. Back during the first ambush, one of them didn't have gauntlets nor experience, and got a flail in the wrist, sadly... it's mostly fixed now, but there's infection. Oh well.

One dwarf died in the ambushes, due to finding them. The first ambush was found by a legendary miner, though - he hit the leader maceman right in the [STANCE] tag, causing him to fall over, and ran away for long enough for the military to arrive.

I think I'll drown some elves. Even though I need wood.

A training spear was worth exactly 1337 dorfbucks, so I bought it. It's now upright in my dining hall.

My mayor likes green glass. So, everything in her rooms is made of it, except for walls and floors. Yes, even the bed.

I dumped them in the badger pit. It was hilarious.

Oh, and that one lady who had a massive following of warbadgers? Yeah, she fell into a magma-trap while running out to kill some gobbos. Whoops.

[Eoganachta]

My captian of the guard is unhappy. He was forced to suffer the decay of a pet.
Well that's what happens when you let turkeys into the dangeroom where no sane normal dwarf would go.
I just hope that he doenst turn and use those two masterful steel swords on my other dwarfs or this might get FUN

Stafffeed's ridiculously complicated drowning trap has been completed and is being put through a test run, using six of the captured goblins that came from last summer's siege. So far, two escaped and had to be put down by the local speardwarf, one has actually drowned, and the remaining three have learned to swim while the chamber continues to fill. We can only hope they do not possess the intelligence to swim up the fill pipe and cause trouble up there.

EDIT: After another couple minutes, the other three goblins tired out and drowned. Test complete.

first thought: what.
second thought: ow.
third thought: wtf is that a mod?

I had to abandon my fort because a siege came right when the FB was annihilating my military with his goddamn dust attack.

oh right.

I still haven't tried any big mods, only starting fort defense.
(the reason is fps~5  )

Lower G_FPS cap (to 10) and change PRINT to STANDARD?

[Kogut]

My dodge trap is ridiculous. 4 sieges decided to learn bungee jumps without cord.

Lowered G_FPS to 6 (+ ~0.33 FPS)
Tried with ASCII instead of graphics, not much help either 
Will change PRINT, thanks.

which is why I love them
