Goodbye Tekkud Fortressstrength!

All Fortresses fall eventually.

[AustralianWinter]

I'm digging up copper ore from the bowels of the earth. THE END RESULT WILL BE BRONZE!

[Splint]

Welp, I just realized my area isn't savage enough so now I'm just going to tame the shit out of everything in the desert. Also decided that I'll let the elves live since they came bearing a gorilla and booze, since my dorfs keep eating all the godsdamned plants.

On the plus side, my tower toppling crews migrated in along with many farmers and best of all, a high master weaponsmith!

I got a masterwork copper spear sittring in my pile now. This place has a shitton of copper....

As the sun sets on The Day of Blood, several severed limbs sail off with it.

I wouldn't call this zombie/migrant/goblin mixture a "massacre".
By RabbitHut standards, this is all going fairly well as our population is over 100.

Time to get the dumping crew ready. Updated.

Oh Armok, why did we ever say things were boring?

Goblin siege of uncountable numbers...

Our military strength counted 6. A legendary sworddwarf, legendary axedwarf, and 4 marksdwarves.

The siege entered through a hole in the barracks' roof, we were in the process of making an above-ground area to train in to eliminate cave adaptation.

The sworddwarf and axedwarf singlehandedly killed 4 of the 5 leaders, including the human general leading the goblin forces. I had the honor of watching them as the dodged a hailstorm of bolts from the marksgoblins... and cut every one of them to bits. The goblins had brought a few war jabbers yet again, and those killed a few of the wardogs. One wardog was ripped into little bits and scattered to the winds... his teeth are the only solid parts we found.

The siege was broken after our 2 melee took after them.

Now we are fighting against the tide of risen body parts and corpses. Our farms and upper layers of the fortress are covered in the blood of dozens of creatures... Luckily we have only lost 4 dwarves to this madness. A few sheep and dogs are still trying to reanimate, and we are in the process of removing them from existence. We will not let Dipgold fall after all our successes here.

[Splint]

After waiting and waiting, and quarrying and quarrying.....

Platinum. Sweet platinum. How will our foes see the coming hammers made of that shining metal? of marksdwarves firing what amounts to depleted uranium rounds?

With fear.

Fort's been going well, and a fishery worker (Our new bookkeeper) arrived with his egg layer (Tiny pragheels that lay eggs with a body, 4 little feet, pincers and a proboscis. I modeled them after facehuggers.) wife.

[crazysheep]

The cage traps at Gearedsoldier have managed to catch a giant cave spider successfully! Time to initiate a silk farm.

[RLPudding]

3rd migration wave to Dreamcaves counted 42, so I was doing well. Now I'm really busy building beds for all my new dwarfs. I'm also struggling to find enough meat.
Currently flooding pit near my trade depot room, where I will drown the next elven caravanne. First one was beaten to death by my military. *evil laugh*
Kea keep showin up and stealing my stuff, so I have to set up a proper Archer squad. And why are there so many goblin thiefs? damn!
I also found a lot of gold, so I'm searching for the good ol' magma seas to make my army shine

[Darkening Kaos]

Mostod Ishlum (The Shame of Nuts) has been founded!
Located halfway up a volcano on the boundary between desert and forest, the first three seasons seem to fly past as much digging is done ... Our first discovery is that the side of the volcano we are on is composed almost completely of Obsidian!!  We also find clusters of Galena and Native Copper.

The first migrant wave was nothing spectacular, plenty of haulers.

The second migrant wave has an adequate weaponsmith, he is a promising start to our fledging colony....but wait, moments after arriving, he withdraws from society....crap!  All I have is lead, copper, lead, gems, lead, obsidian, lead, some silver, lead.  Bugger, I have a sinking feeling here, he's not gonna get what he wants an- huh, as soon as he arrives at the forge, he starts construction, with one lead bar!

And produces .....

And, he becomes a Legendary Weaponsmith!!

One of my forts deities is Nekol, most often depicted as a rotting female dwarf and associated with children, birth, rebirth and death. I build a chamber with a silver statue of Nekol in the middle and solved the old 'tantrum-naked-child' bug by dropping my dwarf kids many z-levels onto the statue. Then I made this bloodsoaked chamber a sculpture garden so my dwarves can admire my cruelty.

Yesterday my engraver carved an image of Nekol devouring dwarves. Weird.
All hail the Nekol cult!

Much envies.
My current fort has two artifacts: a pair of dwarf bone greaves and a phyllite mechanisms.
(Well, legendary bone carver and legendary mechanic is not bad, but the former went full-out insane moments after making his artifact and died of thirst.)

I'm digging up copper ore from the bowels of the earth. THE END RESULT WILL BE BRONZE!

After finding lots of gold, platinum, and zinc or other useless treasure and no iron in a map, you truly begin to appreciate simply finding copper, especially if you have some tin handy.

Way to effing go on all that lovely copper!


In my own fort, my measures toward what I thought would be excess happiness have failed to please my mayor, whose mandates have as policy been completely ignored. He's got gold furniture and huge rooms and access to the delicacies of my food and liquor industry, but he's got rotting clothes and no power in my society.

I can't get them to drop their clothes and get nekkid so I can have a hairy dwarven nudist colony, so they have to put up with negative thoughts about various stages of clothing wear at the same time. I suspect simple nudity may be easier to bear. Most of my dwarves are ecstatic or quite content despite the clothing, but two are having issues.

Edit: Hahaha... I totally thought I had things under control. It seems clothing is the most important thing in the world to these dwarves and my insane nudist experiments aren't going over very well for that reason.

Edit2: And now I'm using up all my wafers and trying to use a bunch of my bars so there will be interesting things for my adventurer to use all over the place... including rose gold statues. Potential weapon? Iron ballista arrows? (ran out of silver) Adamantine flasks crutches armor weapons trap components... random adamantine screw pump... a room dedicated to adventurer with adamantine doors, statues, other furniture.

[Darkening Kaos]

Second artifact - also the result of a fey mood - was an amulet, made of obsidian and has a picture of itself on it.

Disappointing effort guys.

Still, made my shoddy wood burner into a legendary stonecrafter, which is, um, better(?).

[Iceflame]

My dorfs seem to be really obsessed with a articfact chalk ring - every other artifact hast at least one picture of it engraved. And even my engraved walls show this damn ring.

The recent undead attack of 150 zombie elves or sowas struck down by my only squad of marksdwarfes - now, they are all Elite Marksdwarfs.

As I still haven't found a piece of usesful metal, I keep buying and melting every single piece of things made of iron, copper and steel the caravans bring. As the yearly visiting elves leave gnomeblight worth abour 35k or so and lots of other wothy crap, I haven't met any financial problems. Also, they leave enough cloth to keep my crafters busy until the next bunch of elves face their dead.
