Good science! I that kobolds sounds really awesome!!

Bastiongate is getting sloooooooooweeeer, both in FPS and in events. I haven't been attacked in over 5 years. Also Bastiongate just turned 23.

Things have gone well, my entire military consists of legendary skilled hammerlords, there have only been a few casualties and a grand tower is being built on the surface.

Not sure what I'm going to do with this tower though, I'd say construction is going very well, there was a incident in which part of it collapsed sending blocks down 4 levels into the fortress and killing a dwarf and injuring the chickens.

Other then that things are going perfectly, its also covered in a healthy amount of vomit.

edit: ok things aren't going perfectly, I may of built part of the tower wrong, I'm only on the second level of it as of now, I can't see this tower being finished before there are more casualties. yay.

I think I might make another melee squad specifically for fighting demons. What weapon works best against fleshy demons?

Fleshy, I'd presume either spears (to pierce the muscle and damage the bone in limbs,) or swords (for the same with some added choppiness.) But in general anything that's likely to damage thier legs badly and take away thier ability to charge on the first hit would be best.

The Shield grows enough to get a mayor, and one who likes a component of the marksman uniforms to boot! I still wait for the enemy. I will water this tree with blood damn it!

I finally decided to get back into fortress making ways, after setting up the basic needs for a fortress I was able to find some silver, I now have a small military composed of barely armored or unarmored hammerdwarves. Hopefully the metal I requested will arrive soon. I had also started in the year 2, cause reasons.

I had a migrant wave of over 30 dwarves come in, its bigger then I would like, but at least it isn't a 70+ one.

I also named almost every dwarf after forum members, even though they'll probably all die in the first ambush/siege.

What is the dwarf named after me doing?

[utunnels]

I notice my two miners are both called Sakzul. The he-miner is Sakzul Cryptfortune, and the she-miner is Sakzul Diamondkey.

The Shield loses it's first dwarf, a child who'd gone moody in a place lacking access to butcherables for the bones he needed. Melancholic, so it's a drawn out demise. I blame the elves for not attacking me (and thus not providing delicious mounts.)

[xana55]

A dwarf just died of old age.... I don't think that's ever happened in all my time playing Dwarf Fortress. My god I just realized how truly evil and violent my fortresses usually are.

On that note I just saw a mace dwarf punch someones spine out. God damn do I love this game.

I imagine for them parties can go like this

"well go fuck yourself"

*grabs husband/wife*

"okay, I will"

Is it terrible that I imagined this guy saying He-mine:

My ground level.

Excellent sphinx.

Wait, is Stonesense working now?

The forgotten beast Lomoth Soakgrave the Abyssal Drink has wrought terrible vengeance for its untimely demise, nearly 2 months after it was delivered. Two of the ten marksdwarves who've killed it have suddenly suffocated in the middle of the meeting room, and so has a child who joined his mother into the fray. A surviving older brother, who is part of the military, is currently very unhappy about the death of his two close relatves, and has already thrown a tantrum. Waiting for further deaths, either by syndrome or by dwarven ☼adamantine short sword☼

[EDIT] It's been 2 weeks. Nobody else had died. The corpses were, upon closer inspection, found to be covered in puss; this at least reveals the mechanism of death. The brother has tantrummed as expected, brutally beaten a cat, and seemed satified. During the whole debacle, a fort member had started a mysterious construction in a craftsdwarf's workshop. Life, as always, goes on.

Still playing the newest version, still having trouble getting used to trees dropping clouds of stuff that look like blood and pus. I'm also trying to learn how to harvest fruit, but so far I haven't got that down.

Halp.

[TheFlame52]

After complaining about no attacks, I got attacked by both humans and then lion tamarin men. The humans brought an Avatar of Fire with them, which was caught in my cage traps. I'm going to turn it into a fire turret.

The ~150 lion tamarin men and animals were fought off entirely by a GCS and her three spiderlings, all of which have names now. As a result I had to dismantle my weapon traps since they were covered in webs and still highly deadly.

I'm going to replace my traps with a bunch of extra cage traps - I need more prisoners. Plus I want to reduce the chances of this happening again.


And Splint, I remembered I had an open slot near my farms so I stuck a kitchen that only takes from two small stockpiles. Honey bee royal jelly roasts are a go!
