Trading for weapons and armor is a rip off actually, especially wooden ones.  Does your embark have metals? 

[Chagen46]

I have just started the new fort Granitestroker. Time to die horribly!

EDIT: OH shit there's a school of hippos in the underground

[Scootagoose]

Dwarves keep getting attacked by "Partial Skeletal Falcon" even though they could kill it in one hit, they still run in terror.

[Carric]

Getting attacked by yet another ettin. They seem to love coming to the fort, even though it ultimately ends up getting them killed.

MY idiot dwarves haven't moved a dead yak corpse out of the general stockpile so now the whole thing's filled with Miasma.

Oi vey

>Check
>There's 20-plus of them

WHAT THE HELL

This game has a very liberal definition of "some"

[Splint]

I've had 55 in one wave on a boozeless glacier. largest recorded was apparently 77.

[Chagen46]

Well, a few of these migrants just killed a bunch of elephants, so I'm not complaining. My fortress is gonna be eating good tonight.

[Splint]

Lucky.

If my dorfs (Or humans or what have you) Did that they'd just die horrible and produce nothing useful except preowned clothing.

[Chagen46]

Holy shit they've killed like 6 elephants and they've been on the fortress for only like 3 IRL minutes.

My kitchen is going into overtime, I may have to build a new one.

[Eoganachta]

This embark I seem to have a lot of tin. Finally I can actually make bronze!

[Chagen46]

Keeping dwarves ecstatic is almost too easy. I finally understand all those "legendary dining room" jokes after making my own LDR (i.e "making a  big room and shoving it full of useless tables")

[strongrudder]

And yet, I recently savescummed a fort (baby's first savescum, d'aw) that went into a tantrum deathspiral in spite of its legendary dining room. My guess is that my population cap is still too high for my playstyle and the dwarves get to mingle too much.

Well I had built my first hospital, and I thought I would build an indoor well to help them get water more easily. Bad idea—the water was pressurized, so it came up the hole where the well was supposed to be built and filled up the whole room. I was able to put up a barricade in time to stop it from spreading further, but not without temporarily sealing off the dining room/meeting hall next to it. One of my dwarves drowned as well, and his partial skeleton is still sitting at the end of one of the "pipes" I dug for the water to flow through.

So I build another hospital. I try again at getting an indoor well, but this time I build a floodgate right next to it that I can close if anything goes wrong. This time I didn't think the pressure was as much of an issue—I was wrong. I went to check on whether the well was done being built or not, and what do you know, the path I dug to provide access to the well, and my second hospital, were filled with water. Thankfully, I was able to keep that flood from spreading further as well, but again, not without another dwarf meeting his watery demise.

Next time I build a hospital, I'm not even going to try—screw efficiency. But who would have thought digging a well could be so much fun?
