So I just got my request list from the humans...



I'm not sure they value their prosperity very much.

They forgot to ask for bolts. Expect that next year.

So yeah. just survived Goblin Christmas, and I'll be melting iron 'til its time to fry the next group of elves. I'm throwing the last couple survivors into magma, and realized that one of them is a local leader.

I'm chucking a goblin duke or whatever into magma...
God I love this game

Also, when I stole his stuff, I realized he was wearing an elf bone crown, and was carrying some goblin bone crafts and such. crazy.

A goblin ambush was sprung by a few camels I've been having trouble killing. They died quickly.
A second ambush was sprung from the SAME camels. I zoomed away because I thought they died. The camels were slaughtered. They headed toward my 9 champions and were quickly killed by the traders' crossbowdwarves.
Awesome.

Absolutely nothing, save mandates, drinking, and partying. I'm still trying to cut the food stockpiles to something resembling healthy levels, as opposed to the 5000 drink and 16000 prepared meals we had at the beginning of the year. This may be the only benefit of having half my fortress be children, as they'll do nothing but eat and drink right now, bringing things down to more reasonable levels. OTOH, my recent purge of the animals I bought from the elves has meant massive quantities of meat and fat, which must be stored until they're cooked or eaten, taking up barrels that would be better used for boozeahol.

Also busy constructing a butchering complex, where I'll dump the interesting animals the elves brought until I need to kill them. Standard system; only points of entry are the pit above and the locked door, only point of exit is the retracting bridge over the butcher's shop.

Edit: I'm also waiting anxiously for the next siege to arrive so I can do something with their remains. Gone two years, at least, without so much as an ambush to bother me. You'd think they'd take more of an interest in a new mountainhome.

Maybe you killed them all already?  I hear it's possible to kill off all goblins if the RNG sticks you with a particularly low population goblin civ from embark.

My population is now 221 from babies.  And much of the population is out of work. Fishermen haven't had a job in 3 years because all the fish are gone, jewelers only have one shop to work out of, I have no more need for more mechanisms, farming is only happening half the year because I have far more cloth than I need, the bonecrafters get all their work stolen by the legendary bone crafters, I lack access to alot of decorative metals and the military is already fully decked out for the useful metals.

My manager is sitting in his room having a meeting with a fisherman about work.  I find that odd because the manager is laying down, and he is usually running off with the masons, the only ones with steady work building the surface fort.  Then I see the icon switch over to a horse.  And for some reason I chuckle. I put up all my breeding pairs of animals for sale so I don't accidentally butcher them. It seems the fisherman trained one of the horses to sit on the manager so that he would actually sit still and listen to his complaints.

I was impressed with the ingenuity so I gave him the mason labor.  So now he is happily getting paid to place blocks on top of other blocks.  A happy ending for everybody.

Well found my Marble, Sweet happy Steel for my pump. My only problem, It's over by the Magma Pipe (which only has a content Magma man at the bottom of it) and that is going to be a transportation problem.

[Exiledhero99]

story about a fort where baby's are slaughtered by orcs and noone cares.

My normal reaction would be to tell you that that the init. folder has something in their about making pregnancy impossible in a fortress, but when this level of awesome is applied to fix the problem my point becomes void ENTIRELY.

I'm taking my third try at a cross-ocean bridge, embarking with no building materials and playing no immigrants, no trading, and no digging. I'm up to 12 dwarves now, thanks to the starting seven being very friendly, and my bridge is about 1/3 complete.

Just waiting for trees to regrow so I can build further.

Also, desalinating without any stone or abiltiy to dig or make mechanisms is painful.

I just started a fort that got the random name "Webstandards".

I'll try to keep it W3C-compliant.

[Urist McOverlord]

Metalsmith gets hit with a couple of hammerstrikes, but lives to tell the tale.
Moments later, he goes secretive, and creates:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Udistirrith "Pleatscar" a Steel Cabinet
Encircled with bands of steel and rhesus Macaque bone
Menaces with spikes of cave-spider shell
Image of blade weed in rope reed

Yeah, I bet you were expecting a picture in here, eh?

So no images of the hammerer dying horribly, but so what. He still made an artifact with red wounds on his arm. That's got to speak for something.
I shall have a kitten sacrificed to celebrate!

That's just awful.  It's humorous but I am partially saddened that I get the joke.

Please use the strict syntax. I weep for the existence of the looser ones

I love it when Nobles are spawned near Zombies. Just the fact that their first job is "RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!" is funny


Edit: Pity they survived, and the Countess want adamantine items. Wonderful. Time to kill her.
