I made an Arena on the top of a 15 layers high tower. With pitfalls and no walls. Tested with wolves ad wrestrels. Pretty awesome.

[Urist Imiknorris]

What are these "wrestrels" of which you speak? They do sound awesome.

Anyway, I'm currently experimenting with Civilization Forge Unleashed. I wish I had known that Nivocite was magma-safe BEFORE I had flooded my magma channels. Now I'll never get it out. And I was paving the bottom of a brook-fed artificial pool with it...

My dwarves just went on a batman naming spree and named 3 of them in the span of a few seconds.  I must make it my goal to catch the three and display them in the dining hall.

I thought they had to kill things to get a name...maybe they had a raid on one of the ratman ledges .

[The Architect]

They kill things in the chasm/pit.

[Kza]

In the middle of an animalsplosion. I can't kill them as fast as they have sex, and they number more than my dwarves. Resorting to a mass caging. I sure hope they like getting crammed 50 to a cage.

The wiki offers valuable advice.

Thank you, but non-magma map.

Thankfully, my animals are all caged now, and my FPS shot up by almost ten points. I left a few free so I can procreate the extremely necessary war-dogs.

[Sphalerite]

Resident wild animals such as batmen will get named without even having to kill anything first.  I take it as a sign that your dwarves are bored.

[Lmaoboat]

I lost yet another champion to falling down the waterfall while sparring. I really need to put floor grates up.

[Paranatural]

My king finally calmed the hell down. He ended up killing 1 dwarf and 5 random animals before he was done tantruming. At least he 'has taken joy in slaughter recently'. I had a metalsmith get a mood and make an adamantium table, which should let me make my dining room nice. I was gonna make another one but it would have had to have been far from where I currently keep my food an would generally have been a pain. I figure they won't mind a sand meeting hall as long as it has a well and an artifact adamantium table in it. I had a orc siege come and I killed them off, lost a couple of champions. Immediately after the orcs were gone, a Dragon showed up and my axe lord carved him up.

Clearing out a 'troglodyte' shelf in a chasm with two swordsdwarves.  I am just doing it as something to keep busy.  I built a bridge across the chasm with a miner, and then lured the troglodytes onto my side with my swordsdwarves, then was slaughtering them when suddenly "AN AMBUSH!  DRIVE THEM OUT!"  My swordsdwarves and two troglodytes get webbed by a hidden GCS.  An epic battle ensues where my swordsmen kill the two troglodytes, one of the swordsmen gets injured bad and passes out, and while the spider is killing him, my second swordsman kills the spider.

Three casualties so far and it's my first year.  I'm having fun.

Four. Five The other GCS killed one of my jewelers and a herbalist.  I don't know what they were doing up there.

Six, it is now.  Carpenter too.  They were apparently going for water.   

[Paranatural]

So I made my Orcs lose the Trapavoid flag so I could handle them, and caught a lot in cage traps. I also built stairs down so I could harvest their bones (More than their metal, I have tons of magma and hematite on this map). I pitted like 6 at once and didn't think about it, when I get a message a peasant was unconscious. Apparently he was at the bottom of a pit grabbing a corpse when another orc fell on his head. Gave him a red head, a brown brain and popped out his left eyeball. Now he's healed up and wandering around, passing out while trying to eat. Oh, and I just got an Artifact Adamantite Spear!

I just completed my *Mega Dining Room.*

In the pic below, you'll see several ramps. I pieced the image together from the different Z levels, and artificially coloured the tiles to show the levels. There are four eating levels. The largest (bottom) is for the common dwarves. The set of four small dining rooms is for elected nobles, the set of two larger dining rooms is for the baron/baroness and the set of other appointed nobles (hammerer, tax collector, etc...). Finally the single large dining room at the top will be for the King/Queen when they arrive. Above that is another 4 Z levels, with the pillars expanding towards the top, for a total depth of 8 Z levels.

The three rows of tables and statues are for each of the three major production sectors. The lowest is glass (green tables and chairs with clear glass statues). The middle layer is for stone (kimberlite tables and chairs with rarer stone statues). The top row is metal (solid gold tables, silver chairs, and rare metal statues).

The wells are either green glass or gold bricks, with gold buckets and silver chains. The entrance at the bottom is repeated at each higher Z level, but instead of platinum doors, there are clear glass windows, providing a view from each of the higher Z levels down into my mega dining room.

My intention is to hollow out the pillars and place all the food and booze stockpiles in them.

Gonna start a new fort with my Dark Tower mod.

I flooded my food areas with magma and told my dwarves to stay inside, just for fun. My fisherdwarf went berserk and killed a dog, a wrestler, and a bowyer, and two wrestlers rushed in, punched him in the throat, and proceeded to beat him to death as he was in the process of breaking a baby's wrist.

Edit:

also my farmer is on fire

[Huesoo]

Ok! Mobcity it is! Started in a great location, Bottomless pit,Chert,Mountains,Woodland and a River. Started with a Leatherworker and a shitton of leapord leather!

[JimiD]

At Palace Blowing, my Underworld Challenge fortress (put to shame by the Undergrotto!), I finally got a caravan through, and traded 71 bins of crafts.  We were happy to see the back of those.

In anticipation of the next release, I have been planning the release of the magma to the lower levels.  I am afraid that it will evaporate, and just leave a little spill around the pipe, so a series of chambers have been built from floodgates, linking the pillars left standing together, making smaller sections of the floor, that should be fillable without too much evaporation.  They will then add to the resevoir, and when the levers are pulled, flood the next chamber.  THe floodgates and mechanisms should then be destroyed. (fingers crossed it all works).

We have nearly all the floodgates linked, and I just ordered the magma pipe breached, and the first chamber filled.  Lost two legendary miners in sacrifice, so we may be allocating less skilled workers to this in the future.  I also had to turn temperature back on, which i had forgotten I had turned off, and lost another artifact to evaporation.

There have been many sacrifices for this project, and there will be more.
