Getting sick of flux areas. I wonder how difficult it would be to find a 2 z-level sheer cliff on a granite layer? (With multiple soil layers.)

*hint hint*

2 giant jaguars appeared on my site, but I didn't manage to catch them, so killed them. Buther seems not to notice them . However soon after 3 Giant desert scorpions arrived and I already caught 2 of them. Yay!
Elven diplomat left unhappy! Yay!
EDIT: Oh, i noticed my legendary militia captain has been elected new mayor. Probably that's why diplomat left unhappy. She has true military mind - is enemy of everyone except Manor of Minds (my group).

EDIT2: Oh my! I killed the last Giant scorpion, but 3 more appeared! hahah!
EDIT3: Gah! 1 scorpion and 1 hammerdwarf drowned . 4 caged scorpions total.

Finally got fed up with my massive goblin cage stockpile so I dumped all their stuff and designated them to be thrown into my magma incinerator. All the cages go arcing in... and some of the goblins cages went up faster than the goblin could die so they took the ramp out. Imagine.... burning, naked goblins streaking through the fort running for the steel serrated disks at the front door. I just rallied the axe dwarf squad and they chopped them down before they could get to the entrance.

Heck this is almost like the dwarven version of skeet shooting. RELEASE! Ah where be me pointer dog.

I dug too deep and awoke about 110 pieces of hidden fun which ate all my dwarves except for one, who was hiding in the plump helmet stockpile. After some migrants came, I carefully managed to wall in most of the funnies and now my fortress is thriving again. I made a massive, fun-shaped burial hall for all ninety casualities (not counting the goblins who thought it would be a good moment for invasion). Fortress wealth: 10 M, pop: 40; Fun-making pop: 79.

Saw a few old arrows and such listed as forbidden in the stocks screen.  Since I usually melt them all I found that rather odd, but I ordered them all to be reclaimed and melted from the stocks screen anyway.

Cue cancels task: unconscious messages from a large portion of my military as a horde of peasants bumrush the barracks and rip the old arrows unceremoniously from their flesh en masse.

Oops.

A dwarf just created a mechanism worth just over 150,000.

And my Mayor is being a pain.

[Stalker-Dwarf]

Already legendary weaver made Vetorhoth the dishonest auras a cave spider silk robe with.. "This object menaces with spikes of phyllite and ADAMANTINE" 411k \,,/

Also planning to start new fort. Enjoyed having 50 population and 200 fps over 80 population and 80 fps, all animals killed asap.

Edit: Whoa, my woodcutter just made Lanzilnugreth, a raw adamantine sarcophagus, worth 1011600 M&M's.

My dwarfs won't cook dwarf syrup into roasts any more.   I have over 500 units of syrup.

I also have over 100 units of "stagnant water" sitting in buckets for no apparent reason.

And 50 or so bars of unusable soap, due to it being on the last little sliver of soap, with not enough left to complete the cleaning task.

Add to that a few dozen animals which have died of old age. The corpses never decay properly.


On the other hand, I just opened an incineration chute that leads to the magma. I've about had it with these stupid items lingering around.

Two snatchers appeared in front of my fortress, one had outrun one of my marksdwarves (His quiver was empty) and the other snatcher encountered one militia with a loaded crossbow. 2 bolts got in his upper body, breaking a rib that got in the heart of the goblin. While he was bleeding on ground the commander appeared and but a bolt in his leg, claiming the glory of the kill.

During this time my trader traded our crafts for other types of food. My dwarves are fed up (sorry for the pun) of eating cat meat with plump helmets and a cup of ''Cavernet Champignon'' wine.

And my metalcraft got in a mood and created Keniden a iron amulet with spikes of donkey bones worthing 25 000. He has secure his right for the dozen platinum bars I have.

Just put the finishing touches to the Baronesses private box at the new colossiem, Complete with furniture, statues and doors all made from black bronze that she loves so much.

More shenanigans between kobolds and puppies.  This time a kobold with a steel (!!) dagger managed to BEHEAD A PUPPY.

In other news, during a recent ambush, the captain of my newly-formed second squad got hit on the arm by a copper maul, fell down in pain, and triggered the falling rock trap he was standing under, which broke both his legs.  After the fight he HAULED HIMSELF TO THE HOSPITAL, WALKING ON HIS BROKEN LEGS.  And yes, he was walking, not crawling.

He joins the other member of his squad, a jeweler, int he hospital.  He is laid up with a...  broken toe.  Which caused him to also sit down on a rock trap, resulting in a broken leg.  Both are now infected.  After being stabbed in the foot by a kobold.  Fantastic.  There's also a member of the first squad in there with a broken left shoulder & upper arm.

This thread never ceases to amuse me.

I currently just started a new fortress, but discovered there isn't nearly enough not stone area for my liking.

I hate doing mass dumps of stone, although my craftsdwarf and mason are really appreciating the short trip.

Also just made my mason/engraver smooth an entire 18x10 area to become my dining hall, still working on it but i'm hoping he'll get to at least adept as he started at second level.

2 more giant desert scorpions came. first one killed my adept furnace operator, who decided to pickup something outside and then got killed by my military. Second killed a human maceman (caravan guard) and just bashed to death one of my soldiers with newly accuired (bronze shield). o_O

5 goblins slaughtered all 51 dwarfs.

Just realized the horror of watching goblin lashers slaughter men, women, and children and knowing it is all your fault.
