luckily, no Giant Skadgers

I may have spoken to early... there are skeletal and zombie badgers, though of normal size. They're on the other side of the stream, but my dwarves interrupt all their above-ground work and run around aimlessly. Above ground work includes getting any food or booze

In other news, one of the miners lost his left hand to a zombie milkfish and refuses to work now. He can't pick up equipment, so I disabled the mining labor, but he's still standing around with "no job" instead of going to the makeshift hospital.

Dig ramps under that aboveground food stockpile, watch barrels fall into safety, , profit!

Just embarked on a glacial volcano, my citizens are curb-stomping a yeti to death, but they can't get food or drink until they kill it, because it is blocking the entrance to my fort. So they are starving, dehydrated, tired, and still punching and kicking this yeti.

At least they are growing stronger...

Migrants came, were added to the militia, and joining in.

Dehydration has claimed 3 lives, and will probably claim more.

And then another Yeti came and killed almost everyone. I locked it in my fort so that I might meet it in adventure mode.

This most recent fort (the one with the four way evil goblin/ogre/troll cusinart) known as "Cilobar" has had a few years of peace with which to produce the following...

If bone engraving wasn't broken, it would have had every animal, beast, and enemy with bone engravings as well, but alas, it was not to be.

Legendary gem cutters, legendary gem setters, legendary blacksmiths, legendary metalsmiths.  A good time was had by all, and I learned the dwarves will pick the "nearest" object based on three dimensions, not just two, which is definitely "fun" to deal with.

In the middle of a tantrum spiral, expanding the catacombs, and not managing to keep ahead of the demand for burial space.

I started a new fort. In the second autumn a forgotten beast appeared in the caverns and proceeded to eradicate a tribe of batmen. Oddly, it kept on exuding a deadly gas and then getting caught in its own vapours. Lucky I sealed the caverns off completely for now.

Then the dwarven caravan arrived. And a goblin thief made it right to the depot in the heart of my fledgling fortress, scaring the merchants, who ran away, straight into an ambush of goblin lashers. I activated my tiny military of two hunter/marksdwarves and three miner militia who drove off the invaders but not before I'd lost half a dozen civilians in a fort of 40.

During the digging of burial chambers, construction of coffins and memorial slabs, and hauling of corpses, one of my miners went berserk, and killed another miner and marksdwarf before being put down. Dwarves were tantrumming and overturning coffins before the corpses could be interred. There were some fist fights and then a murder. So I assigned a sheriff who went around beating up criminals, when he wasn't tantrumming himself. He killed a couple of criminals too. The outpost liaison left unhappy when my expedition leader turned melancholy. The replacement expedition leader got himself imprisoned, went berserk himself while still chained, causing job cancellation spam from every dwarf that walked past him until he was put down.

Too much FUN. Also, stone traps are worse than useless.

Purring maggots are milk producing vermin, they functionally no longer exist because they come from pits that aren't included in the latest version.

I did it the hard way, after some migrants arrived: Got everybody in the militia and dug ramps under the beasts.
Regular badgers are only slightly more dangerous than other wildlife, because of their tendency to go into martial trance. The undead kind is not as bad as you'd think and was easily rendered into pulp, though some more dwarves were injured. The passage to the other side of the river got sealed up afterwards to stop other enemies from crossing over.

I also laid the foundations for the "F* the world!"-device which will, of course, involve magma. Lots of magma from a big pressurized tank, to be precise. I hope, I can get enough magma-proof materials from traders to construct the actual pump stack. It's only 18 levels high (embark with very shallow underground), but that's still a lot of pumps for the double-stack, I plan to build.
And yes, I think of flooding everything (especially the stream for giving me skarp) with magma before building bedrooms and a working military. If everything goes well, I won't need military... if not, well... that's what we call "Fun"

Dropped a horse foal in one of my "goblin pits" today (holes below retracting bridges where I neglected the size of the hole so the gobbos survived the fall).  It bit a hammermans hand off and kicked his brains in.

A werewolf jump a legendary blacksmith. There was a bit of a scuffle, the blacksmith's hip got ripped out and arteries in his arms and legs got torn, but the werewolf eventually ran away from the beating he was getting.

The blacksmith, being a civilian, wasn't going to chase after the werewolf, so I unleashed my chief medical dwarf, who caught up to the werewolf and bashed him in the head with his crossbow.

The blacksmith has received medical attention and is already back to work.

Finally found a good embark with tons upon tons of magnetite and limestone, so my metal industry is set. Just got made a barony. Looking at the civs screen is a laugh, the Human General and several of their Lords are all drunks xD
