Part 54 of my LP is up.

This game keeps finding new ways to confuse me.

Picture a dwarf, warrior, mechanic, or some other incredibly useful profession. Now picture him dead. That's what infections do.

Reminds me oddly of every time in Team Fortress 2 where, as a Sniper, I'd one-shot a cloaked Spy while aiming for something completely different.  :D

Back on topic: oh, a kobold ambush! How cute!
Aww shit, they killed the outpost liaison right as he left. Oh well. >:(

And then, I discovered the immense joy that is the meeting of a kobold ambush and a goblin ambush that decided to mess with the same dwarfs almost exactly at the same time.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

I was trying to go to sleep so I decided to do something boring to help me get to sleep... so I started generating worlds looking for my perfect world with a perfect embark.

I found it on the first world I generated.

It's mostly flat with a mesa large hill and a small hill, on a pocket world, 3 by 3 embark, no river, lots of trees, water in the caverns, ground level magma in a tube that doesn't morph the geography, warm/hot climate, straddling 4 bioms with sand and 3 flux materials (dolomite, chalk, and marble), a little bit of the blue stuff, lots of safe down layers (~50) and lots of layers to the ceiling (~50). You could even manage a 2 by 3 here. I'm considering a 1 by 2 with at some point so I can focus on a bad ass mega project.

I like a small embark, though. This world gets even better if one wanted a larger embark.

Also, it's calm, so many of you will not be interested. I'm still getting used to the game though so this is perfect for me.

I did not go to bed as early as I would have liked.

So, in my new fort, I'm digging a 50z 35 by 35 pit so I can build a 50z tall tower above my volcano!!!

That's cool, thanks for posting. I might give that a try later.

In my fort (also a flux volcano, but 2x2) I've got a particularly precocious little girl.

A wild goblin ambush appeared!
The goblin ambush used invade.
It's not very effective.
The dwarves used flood.
It's super effective!
The goblin ambush fainted!

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

The latest goblin siege brought four squads and a squad of trolls. Unfortunately the only mounted squad brought their general as leader who immediately started a loyalty cascade. The mounted squad of crossbowgobbos instantly lost their ability to ride. There goes my elk bird meat delivery service  :-X. About half of the goblins where killed and two soldiers sustained minor injuries from crossbow bolts.

So the humans decided to sue for peace.  I decided their diplomat's presence was an offense, especially after the broken arm two of my militiamen and/or women got in their last siege (the one where their general died, unfortunately, to a goblin spear [it was a double siege, and an ettin showed up midway). I chopped him up into little bits and noticed that their caravan came anyway.  So I sold them all my bone crafts--many many statues of cringing goblins, rings necklaces and spectres made of goblin bone.  I hope to start a gothy trend in the human capital.  Right now they are waaay too Narnia--ride into battle on war lions and war leopards (delicious substitutes for our regular diet of forgotten beast and hydra). Our war werewolf baroness (paralysed as she is from the F.B. dust) is a stable and undemanding ruler.  I just hope something horrible happens before F.P.S. death sets in, I already had a 80% population reducing f.b. rot/spiral, we survived, what comes next?

My first thief encounter happened this morning.  Luckily the thief was discovered by a recent immigrant with some fighting skill.  Only year 2 of this fort and no military.  My fighter quickly chased the thief down and body slammed it down dramatically on the new drawbridge.  A few well placed punches broke the bones in the thief's knee, elbow and skull.  Then she put the thief in a chokehold.  She held him while a nearby miner rushed up and planted his pick in the kobold's skull.  Our recently built drawbridge is a bloody mess.  Hopefully it will prove to be a deterrent to future thieves.

I made a temp fort to test out a trap design, and it works!

When the lever points one way, two bridges alternately extend and retract to lure invaders into taking the ever-present path into the fortress. When it points the other, both the bridges are down to allow access to friendlies. You'd think this would be a pretty simple operation, but it took eleven pumps and over fifty mechanisms to achieve.

Unfortunately, weight limits mean that I can't dump a whole mounted siege onto the ground, but I'll try and compensate by using 2x the number of 5-tile bridges.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I can't really read the diagram (does it drop magma from above?), but careful with the 1-7 pressure plates unless you're using pumps to move the fluid off the plates.
