Start fortress in evil biome. Now I'm facing successive waves of 30+ undead badgers. Thankfully, they don't seem be able to hurt my militia commander.

My Expedition Leader just made this:

Quote
Idrombecor, "The Short Temptation", a diorite hatch cover
This is a diorite hatch cover. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with two-humped camel bone. This object menaces with spikes of diorite.
On the item is an image of dwarves in gold. The dwarves are traveling. The artwork relates to the foundation of Goldencrowns by The Strategic Fellowship of the Mirror of Letters in the early spring of 251.

I love it when random chance gets so appropriate. Two-humped camel is one of my EL's favorite foods, the site is full of gold and diorite, dwarves are undoubtedly short, and I for one find the game to be quite a temptation. If it weren't for the diorite spikes, I'd mount this sucker in the Leader's bedroom . . . but smack dab in the middle of the meeting/dining hall is damn good too.

My runner-up for propriety is when the 2 pillars flanking the entrance to my mayor's quarters (in an earlier game) were engraved . . . with the symbols of my settlement and its home civilization, respectively.

Setting up a breeding chamber for all the exotic and giant animals I'm getting from the elves and centaurs. Nest boxes have been provided for the giant eagles and stymphalian birds.

EDIT: How do I stop pet hens and such from occupying the nest boxes reserved for the giant birds?

EDIT EDIT: Never mind. I have a solution.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: What's the bad thought from losing a pet and how bad is it?

I got a caravan from the mountainhome, Olin Cenath. They asked who I wanted to nominate for a barony.

I noticed one of the options was 'A unicorn'... so I selected it. (I gave unicorns [INTELLIGENT])

Then I realised that I had no TAMED unicorns, so my baron is a wild unicorn I trapped in a chamber that was originally going to be a gauntlet for invaders to run...

I HAVE A BARON UNICORN.

EDIT: Also, I was going through legends mode to try to find the forgotten beast that ended my fort when I found this. (Sorry for the bad quality)

Aww, it only killed humans? Though it was certainly a lot of them. Also, my computer crashed and I have to redo the nest box clearing project.

A unicorn has mandated the production of certain goods.

Besides the 4906 unnamed humans killed, Espir also killed 15 named humans. 8 of them were kings of the human civilization "The Mirthful Realms" that had dueled Espir in attempts to finish the never ending war between their and Espir's civilization, "The Mindful Doom"

Espir has also killed one more historical figure, Utes Wickedcrotches, the goblin, and first law-giver of "The Mindful Doom" In the year of 5, When Espir first escaped from the underworld.

Well, I captured my baron and tamed him.

Here he is. Big images, beware.

Another forgotten beast. A hadrosaurid with deadly dust. Zaneg and Thob were no match for it. The dust knocked Thob unconscious, and the FB killed him. Thankfully Zaneg was left alone. Two recruits wimpered away to the hospital with cut hands while Zaneg lay unconscious.

A goblin swordsman was thrown into the execution pit, but landed on a dwarf and was merely stunned. :/

The Forgotten Beast has a pretty good name. Spos Queenaces the Great Servant...

I've arranged the three legendary miners into a squad wielding their picks. They should make short work.
Ten recruits back them up... but if they fail then Zalisiden falls.

You need a Stray baron female so you can have little barons. ;)
