The humans are offering to sell me a barrel of Monarch Butterfly Ichor.  I'm half squicked out, and half amazed that someone actually spent the time to bleed enough butterflies to get a whole barrel of ichor.

I wonder how much that would irritate the elves?

Currently flooding the world... will let you know

OMG at 10 FPS it's gonna take a while... another bunch (100+) goblins & trolls came to visit me, but they weren't fun...

I tried flooding the world with magma. The magma drained off the edge of the map.

are you sure you did it right?

I should hope so! If all the magma stays confined in your little 5x5 embark, you're hardly flooding the world, are you?

My fort is in its 7th year, with 20 million riches, 129 people and food/booze enough for a couple years, and yet no baron or dungeon master in sight... I'm a bit sad: I'd have liked to tame some of the goblin mounts from the first sieges to pit them against the new prisoners...

n-c

Rumor has it that you must fulfill the requirements in that screen.

At the moment, I'm, to use the spoiler metaphor from I don't know where, carefully trying to shave a few layers of cloth off the top of the circus tent without letting the clowns out, and stealing from the elves.

My male militia commander just became attached to a silk dress. I don't want to know.

Dwarves don't give a flying **** about gender differences. Get used to men in dresses, you'll see a lot of them.

Just tried my first terrifying biome, a desert/grassland location with a low waterfall.  I did my standard leisurely "dig a long entrance tunnel, then start carving out final rooms around a central staircase behind the waterfall, then move in all my stuff" approach.  Sadly my dwarves never really enjoyed the waterfall, because whenever they got too close they saw the skeletal sturgeon and pike lurking in the river below and canceled whatever they were doing.  And by the time I'd dug everything out and started moving supplies down the long entrance tunnel, some skeletal and zombie camels swung by to say hello.  The zombies fell quickly, but the skeletal ones proceeded to kick the carp outta my dwarves.

So yeah, my second try on the same site is going to commence with Operation Get Everything The F**k Underground NOW.

I've currently got prepared firefly livers or some-such in my food stocks I bought from the humans

Skeletals are invincible. You can't kill them. However, if you break enough bones and tendons, you can train your dwarves up to Legendary Wrestler (or perhaps anything else) in a matter of minutes.

My male militia commander just became attached to a silk dress. I don't want to know.

I believe that only happens with weapons, so you might have a problem there. Example: a giant desert scorpion for some reason decided to start using a pair of trousers as a weapon (it was a trophy of her first kill--my only useful military dwarf), and started beating on my useless militia commander. After a month, I got a message that the scorpion had become attached to her trousers. Three months later, they're still at it. My commander has been beaten to a bloody pulp, but the trousers aren't quite enough to finish her off. I'm waiting for it to end so I can try to find the trousers in Legends mode...

They can get attached to armor as well.
