I got lucky and landed on a location with flux iron and an underground water source. As a bonus, the spiral is at the direct center of the map. Has been digging about and currently wondering if I should reconstruct the wall of my future magma tank into something that look better then macroline...

A vile force of darkness has arrived at canyonmartyrs... again, this time though, they brought their demon master with them, a deformed mole with webs, along with him they have 2 groups of marksgobs, one group of swordsgobs, and looks like 2 Troll clusters, and a bunch of spearmen... This may be the last I see of these green-skinned devils, finally, the demon leading them has decided to blight my fortress with his presence at last.

Wow this is very depressing. i hope my fortress becomes as sad as you guy's. About my fortress, it has a volcano that stops at the sruface, which is made of sand so i have a near unlimited amount of glass i can make for the traders. I am not kidding this is my best fort yet! right up there with the fortress with the native gold veins in the side of the mountain. so far no death and no accidents becuse it just started (dammit i need to go over there now and continue) i'll tell the name of the fortress. (i know you don't care lol)

I got an accomplished metalcrafter/metalsmith/armorsmith/weaponsmith and a legendary furnace operator pumping out steel in my volcano fortress to prepare for the next siege. If all goes well I'll have thirty steel clad dwarves flanked by almost fifty war beasts to drive them back.

[Loud Whispers]

My fort still has no metals. Farming industry is going amazing. Two died in the last ambush. The captured Goblins will pay dearly.

There is poetic justice in taking their weapons and using them against their own kind.

Currently, there's this gorgeous 19 z-level waterfall with a sheer cliff just begging to be used to make the entrance. The fact that there's a few z-levels of aquifer wedged in the middle of the map is just incidental, and will be used to provide Power and secondary waterfalls.

I'm back to DF after plowing through most of the quests in oblivion. My wife is happy with the arrangment, as DF stories are a lot more interesting than Oblivion stories, go figure.

Anyways my militia captain, Iden, is now my experienced veteran wounded badass. One of his toes is broken and smashed open, but his broken lower back is mostly healed. I thought this was why he is so slow going around, but no. Apparently, his health is "ability to stand lost". Wait a second... my badass trainer/veteran is... crawling?

Meanwhile, I got a dwarf named Fath still in the hospital. She was there a long time ago, so what's going on? She has a fracture lung and a broken rib and... wait a second... he was never diagnosed? But I chose all loving doctors and everything! Strange. Oh well, A simple de-construction of the bed the doctor comes a running.

I am quite proud of my little hospital by the way. It doesn't have soap, but is has 4 individual rooms fully equiped with a bed, table, traction bench, and chair. All the walls are constructed for cleanliness (no cracked "smoothed walls" here), and I have a central well with a 2-tile deep water source. And heck, the doctors are limited to ONLY the hospital and the dining room, so they should be quick to respond. I would get soap as well... but I don't exactly have a lot of spare fat sitting around. Maybe I'll make some out of rock nut oil or something.

You need to build all tables and traction benches out of steel, for better hygene. Make it the highest standards in dwarven health care.

Seriously, who invented those!? How do they move?

They move both the legs on one side of their body, then they move the other two, then the first two, and so on. That's how they move.

With no muscles to contract, that would normally be impossible. BUT MAGIC THAT'S HOW THESE GUYS BREAKA TEH LAWS OF PHYSICS WUT MOAR DO U WANT

Galeysyrup is in year 2!  We have a standing militia and have driven back a couple of goblin ambushes.  I got lucky with migrant waves, so now I need to finalize setting up the hospital and block off the water supply.  The magma moat and magma furnaces are complete, and the first level of wall around the fortress is up.  I just need to enable masonry on every dwarf for a short while and try and get as much of the wall up as I can, before sieges start and I can lock down the fortress underground.  We also have multiple types of food including above ground crops going, and a stock pile of about 1k wood.  I got a little carried away with that woodcutter.

Genned a new world (made with PerfectWorldDF), made it so there'd be like 50 volcanoes, embarked on a volcano (or rather, one tile south. I embarked ON it first, ended up on a steep part of the volcano and so the wagon was automatically destroyed, so i quit from the Task Manager and re-embarked just south of it instead), see the entire above-ground is flat except for the volcano rising up.

The possible uses for all this open ground are GLORIOUS! The only snag is there's some Badgers to the south-east, but they can be dealt with in time as long as they don't come close to my Dwarves in the meantime.

I'll post a Stonesense screenie at some point, as soon as i can get the damn thing to not be so laggy at taking full-fort pics...

[Mechatronic]

A Hydra came, I normally send a squad to deal with megabeasts and I wondered whether a single dwarf could take the Hydra by itself so I sent my militia commander out to face it. The Hydra started out well by charging and stunning Zuntir twice but was unable to harm him on the ground. Zuntir recovered and starting hacking off heads and limbs, eventually lopping off the lower body, killing the beast.

A badger woman somehow made her way into the temporary forge area of my current fort. The fort only has one military-ready dwarf: and ex-hunter armed with an Artifact iron warhammer (and nothing else, so beatings are done with fists). The order to kill was issues and thus began a hillarious chase throughout the forges and ore stockpile of a dwarf swinging wildly as it ran after some mutant badger! (In the end, I had to call him off and weaponize one of my miners).
