The Planning Bureau for Human Rights has noted that you are spoiling your dwarves with 3x3 rooms. Please undo this work of evil, before my dwarves start thinking they are entitled to a similar sized room. That would just be too cruel.

Dwarves get two cabinets, with room to expand.

Had to give up on my fort. The caravans started bugging out and claiming that they had totally arrived I swear, but not actually entering the map (searching stocks for their goods - like 'large' items with the Humans - took me to a tile right at the edge of the map). Then a siege bugged out with one of the snatchers getting stuck somewhere, and my attempts to find it inadvertently killed the two agitated animals that were stuck in trees*, so now I'm in a permanent siege with no caravans and constant attacks by Agitated Giant Critters

*An Axe Lord ran something like three screens away from his assigned station and climbed the tree to get to one of them

I give 'em 3x1 with a bed, chest, and cabinet. I even give them more privacy than those 3x3s, with all of them getting their own door to that z-level's main hallway.

I set the worldgen to run for 2023 years, and the entire world got taken over by necromancers.

The entire world? No! One dwarven civ consisting of 82 members managed to found a fort in the only remaining non-evil biome. Welcome to Abbeypillars.

And when I made them open a tavern, they promptly named it The Armored Nuts. It's got visitors such as rotting kobold corpses and goblin hammermen, and also it's named The Armored Nuts.

The stuff the traders bring in gives me some idea of what a post-apocalyptic nightmare it is out there. There's bags made of undead abomination leather and tanned demon hides. One of our statues is of a cave fish woman necromancer. A neighboring site is a dwarf forest retreat.

And something about a pub called Balls of Steel just feels so right in all this madness. One buoy of sanity in a broken world where only the toughest survive.

It was harvest season and all my dwarves ran out the fortress to harvest from the nearby pear tree, as apparently it is a ridiculously important job. Right at that moment a weregilla monster shows up between the fortress and the tree. Out of the 41 dwarves in my fortress, 32 were involved in the fight. one of them died right away, dozens are hurt.

This means I have to either check several hundreds of pages of combat log for who was bitten, but I think I'll rather just wait a month and see the fortress burn to the ground instead.

Wouldn't making 32 lockable burrows before next full moon be less work than reading through the combat logs?

considering how un-improved (or regressive) the new combat log UI is, i cringe in sympathy

what I do is mass-imprison anyone with the same job title as the one listed as 'bitten', which does save some time... we lose a few of the innocents but the fortress is saved.

you can try to expel them too but the same issue arises where we aren't paid enough to dig through thirty pages of combat log.

If civilians respected burrows in this version, I would not be in this situation :-). It seems everyone just preferred to pile on the werecreature instead of retreating to the burrow I had set. The fortress has died, 14 infected apparently. Will start a new game with some new mods.

 First fort to be played through to the end in the premium edition.
Taperlashes hit a population of 110 before the undead legion invaded. Unfortunately I had just gotten through a mass culling of cave pests and several of my fighters were still nursing elk bird wounds when the attack came.

One lone survivor retreated into the woods and survived for a few months before succumbing to starvation.

[YashaAstora]

I am on year four or so. I have exported an absolute shitload of wealth. And yet, no goblins. I am seriously convinced that goblins don't exist in this world which if true is an absolute heartbreaker. I have two squads up and training and nothing to sic them on besides random animals. Of course the first fort I make after like seven years away from the game has no goblins lmao

Elves also don't exist in this world, or if they do, not a single civ has decided to visit my fortress. Probably got horrified by my nigh-endless clearcutting.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT. I literally just got a siege!!!

EDIT2: Damn my military just obliterated those goblins, though some took serious damage >.> Gonna need to set up a hospital and fast

[Mohreb el Yasim]

Wanted to change fortress for a while, but embarking crashes when I try to reimbark, and I really wanted to keep the world (as we were expert unicorn trainers)

[YashaAstora]

Ah shit.

I forgot that wounded dwarves only drink water for some reason. I have no well. My biome freezes in the winter and it's AUGUST. My wounded dwarves are boned. I have literally no way of getting water for like SIX MONTHS.

[Uthimienure]

Have you opened the cavern layers to look for water down there?

[YashaAstora]

Not yet. My embark is way the hell up on a mountain and like 170+ z-levels and I'm on like level 2. I'd have to dig absurdly far down to get to the caverns, but if I have to I will, I guess.

So a few days ago, I already mentioned that a monster hunter that I had expelled, had returned, now a full citizen.

I was not completely right. He did return. He did lose his monster hunter status, gain legendary animal dissector skill and can be assigned jobs. But he is still a visitor. A visitor that is neither a monster hunter, neither a performer, neither a scholar.

Just noticed that when trying to assign him to a military squad, he's not in the list.
I must have skim-read his citizenship too fast. He's a citizen of the Relic of Dyes.
My fort's citizens are citizens of the Natural Dye. Oops, minor detail haha.

He's still red-face unhappy (yellow letters stressed) and better armoured than the rest of my dwarves (he lost his axe while he was away but retained his full set of armour and shield). I might need to expel him again if I can't get him happier quick. Not sure how though, he is somewhat focussed with satisfied needs.
The only unhappy memories in the recent past are lonely from being away from family, and not praying to his single deity.
The latter should be no problem, but he rather hauls stuff than go pray in the temple apparently.
He has a memory of being angry at being expelled, but that's a year-old memory.

EDIT: Turning off his labours made him not go pray, but go socialize in the tavern.
I managed to get him to pray by letting him smooth some floor in the temple. Being in the temple appeared to have been nescessary to trigger his praying job....

Grrrrr. He went for a drink before satisfying the prayer need and is back to socializing.

EDIT: Smoothing to praying again. Again, not managed to fullfill the praying need. He's heading to attend meeting.
However, during prayer/meditation he did gain the slow to anger trait and the disdain independence value!

He was accepting remembering being expelled, and mulling over the recurring memory allowed him to rethink his intellectual values and changed his personal tendencies

Also, I don't understand happiness. One and the same dwarf. In the Unit screen, he is redface unhappy.
Overview screen, "I feel so good!".

Uhhhh...?

EDIT: thank heavens, I managed to get him to fulfill the prayer need before running out of smoothable tiles in my temple.
Still redface unhappy though.
