Digging the shafts. Fortress is a pattern of circular shafts going from the surface to the underworld. Aboveground, I'm building dough-nut towers around the pits, and putting walls between towers. Underground, I'm making several mini-forts with burrows, radiating out from the shaft.

That's hard to envisage but it sounds really interesting...

Screenshots pl0x?

Jsut embarked in an evil area. Got attacked by skeletal stingrays, no problem. Dogs took them out.



Then, attacked by 5 skeletal chimpanzee's. Killed both dogs, and I had to emergency draft my miners and woodcutters to take them out.

4 flying salt demons just burst into the dining room...I forgot to fix the ceiling. So much blood 
20 death and counting...I killed 3 of them so far but my entire military has been wiped out...

Send in the rookies !

EDIT : Saved by war grizzly bears And I managed to get the surviving fire demons as well with a well-placed cavein.

Gooooooo....tantrum spiral !

[Akura]

a dwarf drowned while chasing a kabold (it was stupid..) so when winter came I decided to dig him up at give him a proper burial. What I didn't realize is it had turned to a ghost and I was just releasing the ghost...

So, being entombed in ice is an effective burial? Interesting...

Humans, after being toss down a tower and benig brutally slaughtered, have decided to make piece. No idea of their civ sill find out though, as I'm half-sure the diplomat was killed in goblin ambushes.

Speaking of which, a child got caught in my trap room being shot by the goblins. I thought he died, but instead he somehow got into a cage. lucky little bastard. I only found out when he was stored on the top of the tower with the goblins. His right leg is "dented" in two place". Lucky bastard.

Hoping I get to a point that I can actually train those kids to be badasses, and make my fort of only those "pure" dwarves.

Also, gave away over 100,000 profit in lavish quarry bush leaf and sugar roasts. Why? because I need room to actually get my farms running again. I haven't grown anything in a while.

Damn wyvern flew into my meeting area before getting wrestled out of consciousness by my fortress guard. nobody is willing to lift a finger while it's around, but most of them go over and huddle by the guards while they keep it pinned. I'm calling off a militia squad to actually kill it before the butchered remains of its girlfriend rot away in the kitchen work area.

Siege hasn't budged in a month. They're not the type to just charge in and get themselves killed like goblins, although that is arguably more effective since I wouldnt have time to prepare my defenses. They'll just blunder across the cage trap field and I'll be left with a few new playthings for the militia.

The elves came to visit and bring their lumber, cloth, and various worthless trinkets.  I took the cloth and lumber, at least...

Then I sent our tall, pointy-eared friends home.  Through the deepest caverns.  With a few rutherers about.

They made it off the map safely, but whether they'll make it home is anyone's guess...

[BloodBeard]

It's the end of the first year of my new fort and my miner got the first kill. Somehow a spear-wielding cave swallowman phased through solid rock and into where my miner was digging. The legendary miner mined body parts off of it and left a bloody mess.

I havent broken into the underground yet, but if any of my dwarves go near the spot he was digging they get poison darts blown at them through solid rock before one of them portals in. I just finished encasing my 5 military dwarves in iron so I will have them investigate this apparent wormhole.

Just so you know, flyers can move diagonally upwards.

[Ilikor]

Just lost two axelord to poisonous vapor from a forgotten beast. Damn lung paralysing syndrom, my poor dwarf had no chance to survive that. !!FUN!!, or mostly, let the plague begin...

[Yoink]

Nationbridges is going quite well.
I'm super proud, as I finally worked out iron production, just like I said I would... But I forgot I didn't have any   
F%&#ing anvil! Waiting for the second caravan.
Only three dwarven deaths so far, a suicidal hunter way back at the beginning, a possessed and subsequently beserk miner, (Whoops, looks like I forgot about that guy. Uh oh, he's beserk...) and some stupid dyer who was so upset by the death of his miner friend that he decided to take it out on a nearby wardog.

Dear Mr and Mrs Dishmabrith,
We regret to inform you that your young son, Dakost, whom you sent to Nationbridges to bring glory to all of Esmestthos Kethil, has passed away in the course of duty.
We extend our sincere condolences, and wish to congratulate you on your son being such a fine dyer.
Yes, he truly proved to be great at dyeing  dye  dying.
Regards, Deduk Thadatis, Expedition Leader of Solamsazir.

My militia commander hacked off his limbs and claimed his -shellok shell helm- once he died. I like my militia commander.

I have 79 females and 21 males. At least now I won't have to worry about the species going extinct, I guess.

Currently designing and Building the Heart Machine deep within the earth to power the fortress. It runs on the blood of the earth, Pure Magma, and activates series after series of pressure plates to automate all processes in the fort, controls the water supply, the ice reformation, the ambient temperature, the overal fort's happiness will be directly tied to this machine, as will my hypothetical in-game spirit essence as the fortress finally becomes...

G-g-g-g-g... g-g-g-GHOSTS!!!!!!
I have nearly 200 coffins.  Almost all of them have dwarven bodies in them.  Still, I never seem to run out of murderous, violent, and sadistic ghosts.  They really love ripping people's feet off.

On a side note, I had a possessed leatherworker go berserk in his room, since I have no leather workshop.  I locked his door immediately, only to find that his wife was in there with him.  She ended up having to punch his skull through his brain.

[lanceleoghauni]

man, pumping the Magma I'm going to need from the Magma sea to the Heart Machine Chamber is going to suck. I regret letting my mechanical skills rust.
