Spawn in Zombieland -> Die to Magpies -> Savescum
Spawn in Zombieland -> Die to Wren -> Savescum
Now this is the DwarfFortress I remember !
I just need to sprinkle enough dwarves, and eventually a fort will grow.

Upside of a tantrum spiral is that the weak are culled from the strong, and the military will survive, since they jut don't care about anything. Lots more berserkers put down, including a few children. Lost the mayor to a miner who was in the office for psychiatric treatment, and the miner to a speardwarf when he went berserk.

I think the mayor's office needs windows overlooking the courtyard. Or at least a patio.

Now let's hurry up and dump all the bodies into the magma sea, and finish engraving and tastefully placing all those slabs. Hate to see you guys all upset over something.

And since our beekeeper has finally harvested the first bit of honey, we now have mead available. Enjoy!

aaaand now the elves are pissed.

IT'S CRYSTAL GLASS, CALM YOUR TITS.
EDIT: A giant louse killed my stonecrafter. A shearer suffocated somewhere, and I don't know how or why.

A kobold ambush hit a very unprepared fortress. I bolted everything down, excluding a gray langur that was locked outside. I manage my underground situation, and find that the langur has killed a few bolds and scared off the rest. All hail Amaludosm, the stray gray langur!

Starved me out.  Imay  or msy not have remembered that civ alert is for war siege burrows, and that sssigning your whole fort to a burrow which then goes on civ alert results in frustration.

Dwarfs really know how to brew a roast, I tell you hwat.

[pisskop]

you show me what exceptionally minced milk looks like.

[Chevaleresse]

Ooooooohhhh, a gem setter in a strange mood.

[Tarqiup Inua]

you show me what exceptionally minced milk looks like.

It probably looks the same as regular milk... it's likely just marketing move like naming biscuits "wholesome" so they can increase the prices.

1.  Attempted aquifer embark for the lulz.  On a mountain.
2.  Dug down and breached the caverns to create an indoor tree farm (trees topside were scarce).
3.  Dug out a 'peat' level to make space for trees to spawn.
4.  Hit the edge of the 'aquifer' biome and waded through the 'damp wall' warnings.
5.  For reasons that are not entirely clear, miner breached an aquifer (I must have redesignated a damp wall square inadvertantly).
5a.  This was about 10 z-levels above my main fortress, and near the central stairwell.
6.  Rapid attempts to drop a cave-in on top of the aquifer were poorly executed and failed (only knocking out several miners).
7.  Check in the main fort below showed the water was only up to the 2/7 and 3/7 level due to the extra pouring out of the front entrance and off the edge of the map.
8.  Continued attempts to channel out a good cave-in met with odd errors (including a floating grey '1' two z-levels above the aquifer that refused to be channeled out and seemed to be holding up the plug of stone that I was trying to drop).
9.  Re-check on the ground level to see how the sodden dwarves were doing...oops!  Winter hit, the water pouring out the front gate had frozen into a solid wall, and the water was up to 7/7 and rising; no dwarves could escape due to the water pouring down the main stairwell.
10.  Abandon fortress.

The first children of Whitemountain have grown up. Two of them hadn't mooded during their childhood, so i gave them a single job each, one armouring, the other weaponsmithing. The armoursmith has mooded - he likes brass, so it became a brass gauntlet, but he's producing nice masterwork steel armour now. However, i mainly wanted to make use of all the beeswax and clay that had piled up in the ~15 years the fort had lived already and that i just couldn't spare the dwarfpower for. He's now a great wax worker and so legendary at making earthenware crafts that "potter" is listed as his job.

I've been buying all arrows the elves brought and most of those imported by the humans and assigned another child as one-dwarf bow squad. I unassigned the main meeting hall because he was involved in one of the infamous adolescent parties and i wasn't going to wait a full season for the party to end. Once he was activated, he started thrashing through wooden arrows and is now, half a year later, an elite bowdwarf (after i ordered him to shoot four of our captured unicorns), burning about 1500 arrows in the process. I'll probably better issue him a sword later so he can spend time on other skills, a full training regimen just isn't sustainable with maybe 400 imported arrows per year.

And i cleared the chamber that'd been flooded with lava - fortunately, it had been shut off with a magmaproof door, so i just built a minecart round track, placed nine pressure plates on it and linked them all to the door. The distances were a bit off, but it still went through seven open/close cycles in 140ish ticks, and whenever lava flowed into the door space while it was open, the closing door crushed it. This takes quite a while to really clear a room, since free-flowing liquids are rather sluggish, but after a week or so all lava in the room was down to 1/7 and it started to evaporate. Downside is that opening/closing buildings via mechanisms eats unreasonable amounts of fps, with the door set to flicker, i got 22 fps when otherwise it was a bit over 40.

I've been playing most of the afternoon/evening. I had left off after a particularly nasty series of sieges that left me with 23/100-ish dwarves the last time I played. I'm now down, after two more sieges and an awful forgotten beast, to 5 dwarves.

1 dwarf is a melancholy vampire ==> USELESS ljfdsalkjfdsa;lkjgdsalkjfdsa;;lkjfdsa

1 dwarf is a child ==> USELESS lkjfdalkjsalkjfdsalkjfdsalkjfdsaoiurew

Everybody else is wandering around, going "we're so disgusted by a miasma it's gross!" but not cleaning it up.

I will NOT abandon until I have to. I will NOT.

[MrsStick]

Never mind - scratch that. Mayor just died of thirst mid-meeting. So not only did a diplomat leave unhappy (WHY COULDN'T HE JUST GET HER WATER?), I'm down to 4 citizens.

Migrants? Please?
