The Crundle Siege of 2011 just happened.
Poor things were quickly massacred.

[Musashi]

Crap, did I inadvertently create a meme again?
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS, KIDS.
*cough*
In other news, I've got a whole army of armorsmiths, weaponsmiths, and farming dorfs having one of these as their highest moodable skill, but for some reason, I only have one artifact weapon/armor after 8 years. And will you guys stop being possessed, for Armok's sake!

He is was my doctor...

EDIT: Migrants! Finally! Even one with useful skill!

Werewolves launched a super-siege on me.
I killed them all with runesmith.
Then kobbos ambushed me.
Did they stand a chance?
No.
They were swiftly dispatched.

An ambush showed up on my front bridge during goblin cleanup.  Fortunately the military were helping with the cleanup an managed to attack the ambush while the civilians were fleeing.  Preventing any civilian casualties.  And the bridge itself is designed to be a large 'dodge this' trap.  I expected to lose a few of my military to dodging.  As the front bridge is actually spanning a volcano.

They actually manage to push all of the goblins into the volcano, without a single one falling in themselves.  Great work!

However one of my military managed to get a broken rib, and passed out from pain on one of the serrated disk traps.

This one soldier, "Stubbs" I had named him was the luckiest bloke in the fortress.  He lost a hand early in his career and always managed to end up in a bad situation. When he lost his hand he was in unfortunate 1v5 brawl with an ambush squad, and after losing his hand and passing out the rest of the military had arrived just in time to prevent the finishing strike,  Last year he ended up dodging off the bridge over the volcano and out of dumb luck landed on a single temporary scaffold that was due to be removed.

This time fortunately for him, the trap was jammed with a goblin corpse and didn't go off.  So after that I send the civilians back out to continue cleanup.  I had forbid the corpse in the trap to protect my military dude until a doctor grabs him and hauls him to the hospital level.

Unfortunately forbidding the corpse wasn't enough.  Because some dumbass still cleaned the trap reactivating it.  And suddenly I hear the sounds of combat in soundsense.  And when I check the combat log, sure enough it is being spammed by serrated disks triggering on the guy.  But wait!  His lowly copper armor is deflecting the disk's attacks!  It continues for 6 pages of serrated disks being deflected by his copper plate before one of the doctors finally grabs him and brings him to the hospital.

Maybe I should change his name from Stubbs to Lucky.

I built a magma depot. It's a depot under a bridge that can be covered in magma and is then retracted when the pumping dwarf moves away, and the magma inflow is throttled by a bridge that extends over the input tile. It's having some issues with the depot and its surrounding tiles being randomly unavailable, but I'm sure that can be solved.

I have a lot of dumps lying around for quantum storage and atomsmashing, so having a dump zone that can be picked out of the list is handy. Possibly, it's kind of a work in progress.

There's a siege outside that includes the demon leader of the goblins.  I just noticed that, in addition to her many bone and nail crafts, she's wearing fur sandals and silk socks.  Lemon fiends have no style.

[jaxy15]

Humanoid FB made from grime and filth came along.
It beat up a recruit until the rest of my military arrived and murdered it. It was bisected.

[Kogut]

Rewind in time due to bug (constructions near map border can result in sieges spawning in random points - was funny with goblin spawning 100 z-levels above ground, but not with minotaurs in dining room)

[Iados]

Caverns

FU****G HUGE CAVERNS!!!!!

I breached them at z-level 83 (19 levels underground), the first natural floor is at level 65, and as far as i can see they reach level 20.

First time I ever actually looked at the (c)ivilization button, after gettin' Goblins.. it says they're 'P' (at peace?) to my home dwarf civ, but.. I thought it was funny..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We export Terror! And they offer Vengeance...bring it!

[jaxy15]

Kobbos are desperate now.
They launched a bunch of ambushes and thieves.
Still no match.
But hey, at least the leader of my scouting squad has something to whack threats with now.

FB in the first cavern! A quadruped composed of ice that has poisonous vapors. This time, it wasn't trapped like the other three recent visitors. The weavers are busy hauling upstairs, so it's no problem for me to seal the place set up my marksdwarves for some live practice.

It turns out, they can't kill it, probably due to composition. It is now crawling, but someone has to chop its head off to finish the job so I send out the captain of the guard on his own. There was a fair two pages of battle, with both of them getting blasted with the dust but with my dwarf claiming victory.

Concerned with the syndrome, I follow her as she made her way back to the inactive danger room for practice. As she passed the bathtub, I pulled up DFclean to get rid of the nasty extract. It seemed as though there was nothing to worry about though, until she was two tiles away from the hospital; at which point, she cancels training (or was it drink?) for a resting injury.

I paused, centered, and checked for wounds  - nothing. I told myself maybe she contracted a sleep fever or something, like the other FB case I had. Two steps later? Miasma. SHE WAS ROTTING! My chief medical dwarf (also the mayor) immediately diagnosed her and set to work cleaning her wounds while another doctor placed her on an adjacent table and started to take out the rot. Right after diagnosis, I check to find she had lost her vision. Said to myself that I'd name her Zatoichi (she wields a sword after all) if she comes out alive from this. After a few minutes she was re-diagnosed because the rotting had come back (advanced rot, then rot, then back to advanced rot) at which point I checked  her health screen again to find she had lost both ability to grasp and stand!

*sniffle* I had to savescum. Turns out if I leave it alone, the quadruped would rather hang out with the blob down at the pool in front of the cavern entrance to my fort. Go figure.

On a related note, can blind dwarves fight as well as those that can see, or are they good as dead in the battlefield?
