My current site goes soil, solid dolomite all the way down to the first cavern (yay flux stone!), then cobaltite and tetrahedrite around the caverns for my metals (boo no iron!).  So I'm running off copper and a little silver, but at least my rock doors and furniture are worth a little more than normal.  But the surface has hippos, and I treated myself to changing them to non-exotic and also [trainable], so I should have war hippos online soon.

I'm trying to make a statue of Iden, the hero of granitesteels, but I'm having trouble. No wonder... apparently he doesn't have ANY friends. Huh? yup, they considered him completely disposable. I am thus moving his "room" to one of the great-hall dining rooms.

Success! He now has a statue, a friend, and a crutch.

Participating in the 'cave challenge' (thread below), so far so horrible, this is how dwarf fortress was meant to be played! Long live Mutemine!

In short it has been a bloodbath, there have been tons of monsters killed and tons of dwarves killed, the halls were literally littered with corpses.  We got to the point recently where we were down to just two dwarves left but recnetly have gotten an influx of ten or so migrants and the fortress is progressing again.  We have gotten some basic defenses up for the cavern and are beginning to build our metal industry.

Let us see; Urist McWhereIsAnythingToDrink died of thirst. We are at a dangerous low of 985 in the alky stocks, with a hospital, (with well,) a dining room with well, a river - look... Urist cannot have died of thirst. He was fine. He didn't need water. He should have... Ahh, Udil Esthob, you dumb arse.

(Do not bother to tell me that he did die of thirst and that it is possible. No point in that. Cause a tantrum, that might. On great examination I realize that he was 21 steps away from a barrel of life-water. He was a clothier, and his shop is but 25 steps away from the closest alky stockpile - a still is 12 tiles east of his shop. And he is generally not at work, though he is around enough. Well, he'll never be at work or thirsty anymore, now will he?)

Hahaha, I've had the same problem. I love dwarves and their sheer retardation at times.

I'm currently considering firing my jeweller out of a cannon - I think I'd have to specially build one, but I could handle that. My jeweller is highly skilled yet refuses to do any sort of work whatsoever, so as far as I'm concerned is a pile of dead weight. And if I have to fire him out of a cannon to make a point, then that's what I'll do.


Oh.


Oh God.


It's finally happened. I'm becoming a Bay12er in truth.

[jc6036]

I found out I was a bay12er when I executed 20 migrants and their children because I couldn't handle extra mouths to feed.

I was teaching my brother how to play DF today. He got the ropes and got a decent fort going.
He just came down to tell me that the dwarf traders were being asses, so he was killing them with his 20-dwarf strong army. He thought I was laughing because of the traders.
I believe this is the best thing I have ever done.

[jc6036]

Job well done, yet another kitten butchering maniac is let loose upon the world. MUHAHAHAHAHA!

[Crazy Cow]

He just came down now. He said "Guess what just-" and I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair.

I love my little brother an dI love this game.

[vjek]

Keep converting, and soon all will bow to the light of DF. heheh.

In my latest fort, which has sand, I am now making all my weapon traps 10 x large, serrated green glass discs.  This has proven very effective, with 4 x magma glass furnaces.

I built a water-filled moat, which was built incorrectly, prior to filling it. (remove the ramps BEFORE you fill it, you fool! )  So I built a dry mount outside the wet moat, and this has proven very entertaining.  In that goblins fall in, and have to run such a LONG way to get out, with traps slicing them into goblin pieces.  So satisfying!

I almost didn't get my danger room built before the first siege showed up, so I had to take them out one squad at a time.  At least I had the foresight to build a drawbridge this time.  Oh, and whatever the hell random number generator made a world without plump helmet seeds, or underground crops?  To hell with you, I'm breeding farm animals this time.  And making the bearded fellas drink water from sublime wells.  pbbbth!  Lips that touch plants will never touch theirs!

Adamantine beckons!

Today I got a visit from a goblin ambush with the WORST TIMING EVER. I bet they weren't expecting to go up against five skilled Hammerdwarves (one with a pet Giant Leopard), two crack-shot Marksdwarves (who were picking them off from 70 paces), a team of Human traders, and a NIGHT CREATURE DIPLOMAT who happened to be visiting at the time.

The goblins were no match for the barrage of hammers, maces, longswords, bone bolts and freezing extract.

[JimiD]

Success!  The dwarves of the fortress of Scrapedsword have punched through the cavern lake and sealed up the opening.  The days of 2/4 FPS are over.  I had grand ambitions to deconstruct all the pumps and platforms, bit they will now stand as testament to the masons who lost their lives in the pit, and those too stupid to realise that they shouldn't drink from the perpetual motion engines.

We have new wells to dig and a new hospital to layout, and my goodness is 71FPS faster than 4...

We have also entered the Age Of Legends!  Which I had to Wiki.  Nice work peeps, Mega Beasts are now a protected speices.

[Buttery_Mess]

My last fort was killed by clowns. This one has bamboo, and pandas! Squee!

[Aoi]

Aaaaaabsolutely nothing.

60 [of 100] legendary iron-clad axe-dwarves. Literally about 2,000 serrated iron disc traps and 2,000 iron spears attached to a repeater, a flowing moat connected to a river, all three caverns broached and candy found [but unopened].

Not a single goblin or kobold. The most dangerous thing encountered was a few trogs. I went back and double-checked my world parameters and world state. Couldn't find any reason why I was evidently living in the world's most boring region of the world. Sigh.

[Niccolo]

Progress on my cannon is coming along nicely. However, it would seem that my jeweller took the hint as he's now furiously cutting gems to appease me.

I have so many wind turbines in my fort that from the ground it must look like some kind of insane effort to make the continent take off.
