I just got a magma forge and smelter up. I really hope there's some flux under all the iron, but I'm already two cavern levels deep without any.

[MythagoWoods]

My fort is finally reaching autonomous levels on the trade/civilian level, finally.  My only problem is even with all my livestock, above and underground farms, and ore I keep finding... I have yet to find any magma and/or flux stone so I can't DO anything with all the stuff I got.  It's getting kinda annoying having a mostly leather based army with just a few metal weapons here and there from ambushes since I KNOW I got a siege coming sooner or later and kitten leather only takes one so far.

Guess the only perk I got ATM military wise is I got an army of dominatrix lucha libres at my beck and call who can handle smaller ambushes.

I'm putting my effort into a new fort on the same world called bouldercatches. Why abandon the old fort? Well this time it was because the leader (me) started to not like the design of the fort. It was... too open. Too much salt. Too strong of a military, with too weak of a design.

Bouldercatches honestly was going to be a two-part effort. There is only a small pond in the lower corner of the map for water, surrounded by a small patch of green land for wood and plant gathering. I was expecting to run out of resources, die, and come reclaim it with a more serious effort.

But... my dwarves are pretty resillient for how little I cared about them. Sure, a few of them died by thirst (since the only well was so far away), but I designated a spot for coffins and nobody went crazy. Sure I let my fey moods go unnoticed and die, but so what?

The inevitable death never happened though. The water did not freeze over in winter (so I will always be low on above-ground water unfortunately). The starvation never occured since I instead killed a dozen or so animals. And my for keeps growing and getting prettier in spite of my lack of dwarf caring. I even have 2 trade depots now just in case two different caravans arrive at the same time.

There is no a puppy in a cage on the bottom of a frozen winter. I'm waiting for the spring thaw. Its for !!Science!!.

RESULTS: The puppy survived, but is trapped under the river. Exactly what I suspected. However, there was a funny moment when the water melted and washed an inexplicably large amount of grime off the cage, whilst the cage disappeared beneath the water. For a moment, I thought both puppy and cage had been dissolved somehow.

interesting, sound like limbo bug

Goblin Christmas went gloriously. Though i managed to kill very few of the gobbos before they retreated, a few of them fell prey to my cage traps. Traderained welcomes it's new citizens...to the dungeons!

[Urist Da Vinci]

A vile force of darkness appeared, and it was crossbow goblins. My new fort doesn't have a military yet, but I caught a cyclops 2 seasons earlier in a cage trap. I used a pit zone to dump the cyclops outside the drawbridge, so it could go kill the goblins for me. The cyclops did charge the goblin force, but when they started to shoot, it turned and ran away. According to the combat log, the bolts only cut its skin.

The coward keeps charging towards them, running away, then going back again. At least he's depleting their ammunition so I can kill them easier once the armor and axes come hot off the forges...

[Conrad]

I called for the bridges to be pulled back, and the pit below them to be sealed off so my woodcutter could escape the incoming squad of goblin bowmen. Unfortunately, the lever sealing the pit from the fort didn't activate, giving the stunned goblins entry into the halls. I noticed this as the goblins were about to round the corner into a major hallway. At one end, the goblins, at the other, the main stairway of the fort. In between, the only hospital zone. I called my entire military to the front lines, hoping they'd be able to quell the invasion.

Only one lone macedwarf heard the call. The young dwarf ran straight towards the bows, running straight at a hail of arrows. Dodge, dodge, block, and he bats an arrow out of the air. In the entire run towards the goblins, he got hit twice. By the time my own crossbowmen and axedwarves were in sight of the goblins, he had already smashed in two heads with his mace, and was in the process of beating a third goblin with his shield. Oh, and did I mention he's blind? He did that all without eyes. He's in the hospital, with a broken rib, two major gashes and a broken leg right now. He managed to save the fort by himself by holding them from the main staircase.

[Mr. Argent]

The most interesting combat in my fortress involved a War Eagle picking up a goblin by it's pinky and throwing it.

That reminds me, i need to train a crossbow army, my war animals just aren't cutting it anymore.

[cog disso]

I finally broke into the Circus, my first time actually doing so. I successfully walled up at the top of the mine, but EGAD. About 50 dwarves were still down below, they all died in many, many, many horrible ways.

LESSON LEARNED:

Attempting to flood Hell will result in a game crash.




























God, I love this game so very, very, very much.

"This is a giant cave spider silk sock. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of groundhog leather. It is made from giant cave spider silk cloth. The thread is midnight blue with dimple dye. This object menaces with spikes of giant cave spider silk, cave spider silk and NATIVE ALUMINUM."

[Johuotar]

Down to 7 dwarves from 244. The hell is poisonous blood?

Mayby I should try to estabilish a new fort next to this one with these 7 brave souls...

EDIT: its over, 14 years of random hollowing of the mountain has come to its end.
