Lessee, the elven and the two goblin caravans both showed up.
And by goblin caravan, i mean ambush. Luckily, my legendary axedwarf and hammerdwarf made swift work of them, and the axedwarf claimed all the kills, even with my hammerdwarf wielding an artifact! Bastard.
As the pair of dwarves that made up my military mopped up the first ambush, which was entirely composed of crossbow goblins, a second one appeared just south of the entrance. Again, swift work for a pair of legendary dwarves, though there were some axe goblins this time.

I then had everybody go out and grab all the goblinite. Since i had nothing to trade to the elves, i dumped it all in the depot. My fort has too much freaking iron right now, to the point where i'm dumping hematite. And no flux. Damn. So i went to admire my fortress, with all of it's architecture engraved. Here are some excerpts:



An engraving of said warhammer.

My militia commander, the axedwarf. Got a title. Bastard.

Finally, some punk keeps putting this tree-hugging hippie elf graffiti shit all over my walls. Someone even made an artifact statue of her!

I put it in the king's future throne/dining room, so he can glare at it when he's angry.

Then i decide to look back up at our entrance, which is smothered in...Blood?

I go up a floor to see who died.

AHAHAHAHA WELCOME TO FUCKING BANNERSPREAD! HOPE YOU LIKE BLOOD, CAUSE WE'RE PRACTICALLY DROWNING IN IT!
No wonder why the elves were so eager to leave.

In the middle of getting a new fortress off the ground, but kobolds seem to enjoy jacking all my platinum, so I have had to put most of my very limited resources into menacing iron spikes.

Edit: Magick, is your entrance supposed to look that...Freudian?

Cats. The answer is cats. Epic tons of cats.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

May have to look into that.

Actually, that would make an interesting sig.

Done deal.

Hey,  here the elves come. Hope they bring something useful for once.

Step 1:
Make bags.
Step 2:
Make glass.
Step 3:
Make catapults.
Step 4:
self explanatory
Step 5:
aim it all at the kobolds.



in my current fort, I have apparently recruited Captain Falcon into my military. He took down a forgotten beast with one punch, applied directly to the back.

Just embarked to a totally flat location.  I got some basic shops set up in a rock layer, and I've started a moat around the perimeter of my location thanks to the river in the southwest.  Any ideas for defense, besides putting a hatch over my entrance stairway?

Double-layer aquifer breached? Check
In-Progress spiral down to magma? Check
Trade Depot secured behind drowning chamber? Check
Devastating and potentially fatal tantrum spiral in progress because I didn't have a shell for a mood and everyone in the fortress got married because I didn't have enough work to keep 45 dwarves busy while I breached the aquifer? Check

Ive got a new fortress next to the ocean. apparently it was home to a giant glacial squid titan that killed alot of dwarves/human in the vicinity so i modified my plans. I'll augment the water surface to make a giant boat, containing a submarine, then kill/find the titan and perch it on top of my future tower for all to see.

It worked and I now have my dragon pet behind fortifacations of the main enterance to burn all who enter. That is, if they get past 10 cage traps. Then, if they get past the dragon, 30 more cage traps and 3 weapon traps. That plus my Military.
