Just had an ambush come through. Had a small seige before, but as soon as the leader of that one dodged off my bridge into the pit they ran off. This was larger than the seige and they stuck around a good bit more. Got rid of 5 of them, but the crossbows shot down one of my guys. Might also have a couple of injured animals but i saved and shut down before checking. Year 4, possibbly 5 and my first real goblin Christmas. Now if only my military where upto speed:(.

Fort has magnetite, flux stones, native platinum, stupid amounts of obsidian, and a volcano. The only way this could be better would be if I could pump the lava directly into the elven capital(nearly happened. Spawned a world with a volcano right on the hippies capital). I'm wondering how fast I can hit population max. Also bets are on to see how this one dies. Mine's on an accidental mining oversight, letting in the siege.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Mine's on volcano draining into fortress.

Quick question: Are Moose Men hostile?

I'm trying to dig my adventure cave survival staircases, and I found a pack of Moose-people. Are they hostile? If they are, DAMMIT.

[Teneb]

Construction on my new above-ground fort (read: big stone and wood blob on a beach) is going well, marksdwarf nest getting built, and a secretive mood got me a casket.

[Ragingpantsless]

Mine's on volcano draining into fortress.

Considering where the volcano is(higher elevation than everything else), that is a very distinct possibility.

Because I embarked with an alligator(having turned off exotic pets) and a nest box, some dwarf is going to become a legendary cook fast.

Averting a tantrum spiral because my Captain of the Guard is beating everyone and my last Mayor went melancholy. My new Mayor keeps throwing tantrums, but at least the rest of the fort calmed down. It's funny how this all started since the first Expedition Leader/Mayor died in a mining accident and my Chief Doc was killed...My fort can't seem to hold on to its nobles

This is what I usually do with my nakkadiles. four stacks of 20-60 eggs each make for a lot of food and let me turn all my plants into booze.

Just founded Spikestreaty after a long hiatus from DF- a Terrifying Temperate Freshwater Marsh with an aquifer, flux, clay, and shallow metal (singular.) My intention is to make this a Spartan fort- all military, no walls, no traps, basically an above-ground fort except I can mine for stuff. And by "mine" I mean "dig a pit of endless falling and dying to throw my foes in, and hey whatever I find while digging is bonus."

Strike the earth!

[Mr. Argent]

One former hunter who was severely injured in a fight with a cougar (Looking like ground beef missing a hand afterwards) that somehow managed to recover without needing to go to the fortress hospital is just sitting there and spamming messages:

(Paraphrased)
URIST McINJURED CANCELS STORE PERSONAL ITEM: TOO INJURED

over and over. I don't really want to kill her (She survived being mauled within a inch of her life and didn't even need medical attention, how the hell am i supposed to off someone like that?), but she won't shut up... Besides, i couldn't bring myself to murder a dorf that isn't mandating Cotton Candy earmuffs or anything anyway.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Disable hunting and she'll drop her crossbow, freeing up her good hand.

[Mr. Argent]

i'm pretty sure i did that a long time ago, though. Huh. Next time i fire up DF i'll have to check what labors she has enabled.

EDIT: Yeah, 'Spammy' Oslansakrith has no labors enabled, and doesn't really seem to be holding much to put down...unless she's trying to put down her clothes or something.

Haha, at above. Good luck... you won't survive it. I had a 10 man squad decked out in adamantite... they fell in under a minute to a pair of demons.

[thegoatgod_pan]

I beat hell only once, with two squads of legendary melee decked in steel and addy, and a squad of marksdwarves covering from above--I built a bridge in front of a tube that reached into the cavern.  We won, but I lost a lot of civilians because the demons flew up into some hatches I forgot about, tore apart the marksdwarves and began killing random dwarves while the military was still holding the cavern.
