[Mr. Argent]

Something i want to try, whether in HighHammer or another fortress: Find friendly Reptile Men, refer to them as Argonians.
(Edit: This comment not meant to be taken seriously - The rather ridiculous nature of the statement should have been enough, but i guess not. All in jest - I'll append a :p at the end of all further silliness.)

*ultimate facepalm*

What poor fool claim the Argonians friendly?

I modded in Argonians once.  They ended up not being much different than humans in practice.  Although their traders were quite adept at drowning domestic animals by pathing through lakes and oceans. 

Well, that, and building gravity defying structures over oceans that are basically just adventurer deathtraps.  (They stay floating just long enough for the adventurer to spawn in the tavern.  Then come crashing into the ocean when physics wakes up.)

Well, if you turned off cave-ins I think that might be workable.
Assuming you started off with a ton of points in swimming.

[Mr. Argent]

Hmm, now that you bring up Modding it may actually be worth a try - Though maybe a gag reference to the Argonians from StarTropics might be in order instead - Would it be possible for the worldgen to make a tropical C-Shaped island?.
?
EDIT: Sleestaks, maybe

The ones that assume that all Argonians make rat flambe with. . .
Nevermind.

52 orthoclase floodgates, all placed one after the other, have been linked to 52 orthoclase levers, all placed in rows of 8, via 104 orthoclase mechanisms.

I am so tired, so very tired, of counting. 

Alas, I have yet one more lever to link. A lever to open them all at once. Yet still, I will not be done. For I must open each floodgate, one by one, and have a miner dig a fortification into the volcano/magma sea then seal the floodgate before it floods in too much.

This 3rd pump stack shall be a pump stack to end all pump stacks!


I once had a reason for all these floodgates. That is long forgotten. Maybe I'll just carve the fortification at the bottom level as planned and calling it even...

The Magma Tide cometh.  After 22 hours and 50 minutes processing flows.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Not pictured: Drowning miner (turned off temperature to make it crunch faster and so all my dwarves didn't ignite), zombie mountain goats that are probably going to be what actually kills me.

I'm gonna have to evacuate another z level up, I was hoping the magma wouldn't be able to make it on this ridge cause it drains pretty significantly to the west.

[Eric Blank]

An Ambush! Curse them!

And all they managed to do was spook a craftsman and kill her dog, then proceed to charge across the cage trap-covered bridge, leaving one left over as practice for the civilian militia.

[GenexController]

A cat/puppy splosion is on the verge and many of my dwarves are being possesed to make artifacts (none of wich have been particularly useful, shoes, coffins, rings, etc.) a fog machine i have beed working on isnt really working, possible going to abandon fortress soon after flooding base.

1 Moonstone 101 - Early Winter at Outpost Dreamletter

Fortune has smiled on our outpost this summer, with the arrival of four migrants; among them an adept grower to till the fields, an accomplished mason, a thresher, and our first soldier. Throughout the summer we devoted our efforts to preparing the fort defenses, setting up three rows of cage traps to keep the rabble out, and to carving out the second level of the fort for industrial production.

Spoiler: Factory Level (click to show/hide)

Production focused on rock crafts, dwarven syrup, and lavish meals. By the time the dwarven caravan arrived, we had enough to buy a steel shield and some nice bronze gauntlets and a cap for our new soldier, Mike. When not soldiering, Mike spends his time as our second carpenter, helping with the making of barrels, bins, beds, and soon wooden training spears for the danger room.

With autumn came a second group of four immigrants, among them a talented fisherdwarf and a legendary herbalist -- we shall never want for food. Also, the legendary milker Charleston has some novice first aid diagnostician skill, so he's our part-time chief medical officer until someone better comes along. And finally, Carl, our second soldier to join the ranks of the Lancers of Carnage.

The forgotten beast Usbu Soxuslu just wiped out thirty some cave swallow people and 9 legendary hammerlords in about five minutes.  I shoulda bewore his dust.

"Bewore" is my new favorite word.

In fortress news, my lousy PC is why I can't have nice maps.  Glovedmurder has been sadly set aside in favor of Cathandle. 

* Rhesus macaques are a royal pain in the goddamned arse  If a dwarf is busy killing something and they knock it into a murky pool without falling in themselves, they will lie down on the bank and reach in and maul the creature's eyelids until it dies.

* Random NPCs that wander onto the map have preferences like your own dorfs:  A stonecrafter carved a figurine of the liaison admiring a bunch of quivers.

* Elf traders from calm and temperate lands suck.  (We already have a dozen horses, you jerks.)

* Child thieves seem to go for the youngest kids first.

* Widowed dwarves--or at least migrants who arrive with kids but no husband--will start dating again.  Wonder how/if DF acknowledges half-sibling relationships.

* Raccoons can bite a dwarf in the heart.

GORILLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!

TOO MANY GORILLAS!

The gorilla population is starting to outnumber the dwarven population!

I knew my customary cage traps were a bad idea.  Why did I not listen to myself?
