[Amperzand]

Armok has clearly blessed you.

Secret Dwarf, the one page autobiography about a cruel milker.

[Amperzand]

And written on some hemp, giving a hint as to why the author thought it was a good idea.

I saw a few of my livestock were overcome with terror a while back...

[MobRules]

I'm liking how dwarves from the old fort can migrate to your new one.  World domination and revival of old dead civilizations, yes.

I discovered that in my second-ever fort, after the first one ended catastrphically, in v34.

Back when tantrum spirals were still a thing.

The refugees from my old fort brought down my new one...

[ChairmanPoo]

Goblin mercs are awesome!

[SlothPajamas]

Something iv'e just realized now that dwarves are putting on trinkets and such is that amulets are worn around the head, rather than the neck. It's minor, but a tad bit strange when you think about it. Surely it's just a minor oversight.

I'm discovering that if you want to get masterwork statues of various deities it is best to start early. Once your dwarves have done all sorts of deeds of daring do, it gives your smiths lots of other subjects to create statues of. And it seems that dwarves are incredibly vain. They would much rather make statues or engravings of themselves, their neighbors, their artifact socks and their fortress than their gods. It seems that my temple to Lorsith the god of Victory will in fact be a analogy for the victory of my dwarves.

It looks like dwarves will only craft statues to deities they worship.

Yep, and I selected my smiths carefully, but even an ardent worshipper will still rarely craft a statue to that God if they have lots of other subjects. My current smith seems more interested in Moonsnails than his god at the moment. In 100 statues I've only gotten 2 +quality+ statues of the god I want a masterwork of.

My champion (macelord) just got a nice toy to go with his artefact socks.

Another guy likes large serrated discs. I made him a mechanic, but I'm looking for better suggestions.

Weaponsmith if you want to make them from metal, or another glassmaker if you want to make them in glass.

Personally I'd suggest the glass, but only if you have sand.

And I'd personally recommend the metal, because you can get higher values from it and sometimes goblins wear armor.

Anyhow, as winter comes, my fortress has fallen into a lull. I'm not going to get anything interesting done until my masons construct many more rock blocks, until my furnace operators smelt a lot more silver, until my haulers bring down all that metal, etc. I could walk away and do something else while the game chugs along at 10 FPS, but things that pause the game keep popping up. At least I can be content that the next time the goblins show up, my hideaway burrow is going to have food, drink and things for my dwarfs to do.

Hey, looky here, I've captured a GCS and a troll. Time to make a silk farm...

Luckily I managed to quarantine them all (along with ~10 bystanders  ).

Note to self: the entrance of my fort is too short. Closed the drawbridge immediately and the wereelephant was still able to make it through.

My fort has 3 artifact weapons: a donkey bone pick, a silver mace, and now a pig bone pick!

Spring will be here soon; I wonder if the goblins will siege us again. I have heard nothing from the elves, humans or mountainhomes that would indicate they've been wiped out, so their absence last spring remains unexplained. I will put off replacing 70 of my stonefall traps with weapon traps until summer, just in case they decide to make an appearance.
