Desperately trying to build a magma smelter to make some axes so I can make some beds for my dwarves to sleep in before they go nuts and slaughter us all.

Desperately trying to build a magma smelter to make some axes so I can make some beds for my dwarves to sleep in before they go nuts and slaughter us all.

If you have any wood at all (including your wagon, if it hasn't been deconstructed yet), you can create a wooden training axe that will function exactly like a regular axe for cutting down trees.

Casualties of Tribeslings:

-- 2 babies meatshielded in the Danger Room (I should be more careful when drafting recruit into the militia)
-- 1 child impaled in the Danger Room trying to haul discarded equipment
-- 1 melancholy butcher died of thirst (due mainly to losing her meatshield)
-- 1 slow lye maker burned my magma (he was pressed into engraving work to tap the volcano for magma kilns)
-- 1 random leatherworker had his arms cut off as punishment for violating an export mandate

My legendary Metalcrafter got ambused - right outside the gates and bled to death :|.
The ambush was quickly delt with but... no more masterwork silver goblets for me.

[BodyGripper]

I'm reclaiming Swordhall.  The place is infested with friendly goblins and humans, who were both sieging me when my strength broke.  These Friends include the human General.  I will find a way to trap and torture him.

I have about 200 corpses that need buried.  Their ghosts are battering my dwarfs.  I never realized that "battering" included ripping people limbs off.  But then again, this is DF, so I should have assumed so.

Alright, so i've learned a bit more about this disease. It isn't fatal, thankfully, at least in most cases. All it does is cause blisters really. I guess blisters are fairly fatal when you get them in your spine, but when they stay on your hands and feet the doctors have something to work with.

I wonder how many more will be afflicted. I've already had two dwarves in the hospital with these blisters.

Still having abandonment issues and trying to figure out a good balance with the init settings. Just abandoned a giant fort with 150 dwarves (~100 were continuously idle). It was a pretty fort, mostly due to having invasions turned off and buying as much metal as I could before they started complaining that I should be a barony. Barony's don't import as much metal. Then I made a quick fort that trapped in the first 7 inside, leaving those outside to fend for themselves while I exploit the wonder that is magma.

Hmm... how to be interesting. How to be interesting indeed... I need a project.

Drop a giant plug into the magma, and laugh in delight as the surface is covered in burning, magma, and death.

My first time having installed weapon traps with masterwork mechanisms and 10 serated iron disks in combination with a "dodge trap" as my fortress defense. Works like a charm.

Goblin limbs anyone?

[Triaxx2]

That was my plan, and up to now it's worked quite well.

Then I embarked on an incline and no wagon. Fortunately I have not only Native Copper, but Tetrahedrite coming out my ears, as well as having embarked with two copper cages for melting. Didn't expect to have NO WOOD. Fortunately I just have to do a little channeling at the top of the volcano to get magma for the forge and smelter.

[Lexx]

My current embark actually has all the requirements for bronze! And all has gone well. Except for one thing. A stone crafter was walking over a frozen murky pool as it defrosted. he drowned and it took half a year to get it drained and the body recovered.

It seems though that was too long even now the remains are buried. his ghost now haunts the poolside. Which has become a large moat of sorts to hold back sieges during the summer months. He stands right by the bridge standing vigil. Alone and restless.

I made a small tower.
I feel so proud of myself!

ohhhhh how cute *_*
now burn it in magma and make it out of obsidian. That will mark your entry in dwarfenhood.
then reapply magma and look at magmafalls.

BUT IT'S WRONG!!

[Psieye]

I find myself running an experiment to see if human diplomats go insane when they can't leave the map because they keep getting scared and run away from goblins (and clones of goblins I modded in just to have more sieges). I've got 3 sieges piled up in front of him and the only direction he can run in is back into my fort. I've modded out all ranged weapons except for dwarves so there's no chance of them killing him, but he won't be able to leave for a good long time. I've only got 30 marksdwarves, so even with a loop system to force everyone to eternally[1] go round and round while we freely shoot at them it's going to take ages.

[1] Well... until all these weapon traps jam but only one goblin can test them at a time due to my bridge.
