Watching my 3 swordsdorfs being in hospital for their 2nd year. Then realizing their nerve damage is permanent.

Anyone know how I force them to use a crutch? Wiki says its the only way.

Finished digging out my fungus forest, or finished enough anyway.  Can always expand later.   Have lots of fungus to chop down already, so it looks fertile.

My new Feb got into combat. In the spirit of the old psychotic Feb he beat a bunch of goblins to death with his fist before using his axe. I really wanna pit him against a few FBs or Titans as that was old Febs real speciallity.

Roughed out plans to create a cliff-dwelling fortress, genned a world, picked a site, fussed over skills and equipment, and finally got started.

"Strike the eart- GIANT BADGERS AAAAAAAA"

My life is average.

People who have read Aussie's thread might guess where this is going.

Lullgilt's reclaim has been going better than ever. A mayor has been chosen (unfortnately with a love of platinum items that barely squeeking by), the military is up to one squad of marksdwarves and two squads of melee in a variety of weapons, goblins inside cleared out, starvation no longer a problem, thirst no longer a problem, and the population is currently 117 - whoops 118 as a bowyer just gave birth to a boy. A few artifacts made, most recently a billion shortsword called Velvetstockade. Wondering when the first siege will come as my wealth is booming. Putting in cage traps and floor hatches. Accidently put a hole in the artifical lake and no floodgates made so a few levels got a bath. Running low on wood constantly, so it's a nice incentive to dig deeper. Otherwise trying to fix the housing crisis as I now have time to start building areas for the dwarfs to sleep. Also starting up some nice tomb areas for current and future noble leaders, military commanders, military captains, and captain of the guards.

Fightbronze is doing okay. Sadly, the cliffs the maps promised me weren't as dramatic as I would have liked, so I'll have to dig a nice cliff face later.

Tapped the caverns at Level -9, and sealed them off again so now I have fungus growing everywhere. Awesome!

For once, I'm proud of my demon-fodder militia.  The two topside squads responded to my request for backup when the Circus squad was having trouble with a Pterosaur and ganged up to beat four kinds of crap out of it with only three dwarves dead out of thirty (considering most of them were recruits, that's a pretty good outcome)

Edit:  Another turned up and they killed it too.  Pity about that hammerdwarf and recruit though.  Never actually seen a dwarf sent flying so hard it exploded on-impact

I just used my retractable bridge pitfall trap for the first time.

The goblin blood, corpses and body parts on the floor show it's sucess

[Musashi]

... I slipped. I promised myself I would wait for the next version to play again, but... yeah.
On the bright side, I have a volcano, a river, and aquifers. I'm gonna relocate the fort in/around the volcano.

I just tried out my new execution tower on a few goblin prisoners. It's a hollow obsidian tower with marble floors a few z-level high. The hole continues through the militia training area, the dining hall, a statue garden, the burial grounds, the noble quarters and a few more floors that I haven't figured out what to do with yet, before ending up on a floor. This to ensure that as many dwarf possible see their foes fall to their death.
My record so far is body parts and blood splatter 6 z-levels above the impact zone.

Also the human diplomat turned out to be a chameleon made of vomit. Happy negotiations.

I found an embark consisting of three separate biomes converging around a single mountain.  Terrifying, Joyous Wilds, and Savage Wilderness. So I've got pixies coming in from one corner, skoxen and giant skeagles from another, and normal giant eagles and normal oxen in another. My migrants always come from the terrifying corner right through the skoxen, skeagles, and mountain skgoats. Which tells me I've built my entrance on the wrong side of the mountain. Plus the first cavern is full of undead and Giant Cave Swallow people. Amazingly, despite all the stories I've read nobody has even gotten hurt yet, not even a giant badger mauling. I modified the kobold file so that hopefully they didn't starve during world-gen.
This fortress should be fun to play since I've got something to send my army against between sieges and ambushes, and the amount of modification I can do to this mountain should keep me occupied.

What's-his-face a blob composed of grime and filth has arrived! Beware his deadly dust.

Easy, right? Nope, took out three of my markdwarves (probably marksdwarf stupidity).

I timed my legendary brewer;  235 dwarven wine in just under 2 minutes of real-time.  That's some serious brewage!

And I started version 9 of the Grand Goblin Melter (GGM ©®™).  Version 7 and version 8 were successful, but refinements are of course, required.
