Since the vampire build of dwarf fortress (34.05-0.7 or similar) I haven't really seen vampires in my forts. But now two of my best soldiers were drained of blood, and thanks to massive migrant waves it would have been a tedious task to start cheating and read their profiles, so I built a test area.

I set up a lever-pulling duty for all latest arrivals, and closed the door behind them. I had luck to catch the culprit quite quickly, as only one in Test Group II didnt care at all as months passed and others were released thanks to their growling bellies. I wasn't gonna let that little f*cker get a pathetic beating from my useless guards, no...

I suck at building punishment rooms, as only thing I came up with was drowning chamber. And apparently vampires dont breathe either :'( my grand plan to establish a vampire drowning chamber was born dead. I can almost hear its nails scratching the locked door and floodgate in that flooded room... hurrrh.

Expose the chamber to the outside while it is winter (If your water freezes during it).

I have started the domestication of velociraptors thanks to the dinosaur mod. Accidentally breached the first cavern layer early on, and now there's about 12 trogs just walking around my fort. They're not killing anyone. They're just hanging out.

Accidentally made over 5000 copper maces once. I have no idea how that happened.

I guess it is just a random yak-related death that happens every now and then.

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

I have vampires in my world and I have yet to see any of them. There has been no conflict for my fort whatsoever and I am one trade caravan away from mountainhome, I think.

Winning sucks.

Got another siege and yes, another new lesson learned. Trolls CAN use weapons, these ones carry flails. I always thought they just used claws, tusks and so on.

Apparently aquifers don't absorb water as fast as I thought they did.



That's three aquifer tiles being overwhelmed by a single screwpump.

Pasturing some war dogs at the front gate of my fort has proven lucrative. Whenever wild critters roam near the dogs chase after them and kill them. So far they've killed several emus, boars, and an opossum. Free food, baby.

This is good to know. I will use this information later.
