On the job of course! I mean it's not as if they'd survive a fall into it. Hopefully i should have superdwarves who learn that dodging in a pit-filled land is dangerous.

A siege was going poorly, but still winnable until a troll just smashed a floodgate and my fort instantly flooded from high-pressure magma.

My first indication was a steep FPS drop and a few seconds later
UristMcLava has bled to death x60   
as the lava took inside of two seconds to fill my enormous, 3z high dining hall.  I really lava this.  And I have dwarves trapped in the bedroom area behind a set of closed doors.

Heh - this is why I always protect my floodgates with constructed fortifications

[terkiey]

Hey look goblins, should be easy right?

3 lasher squads and a marksgoblin squad.

Quick update - an actual patrol has just uncovered and slaughtered two ambushes before they got anywhere important, yay! Though this is highly risk it seems, because the dwarves spread themselves out like crazy. If the squad on patrol wasn't entirely legendary and stocked full of steel equipment, they would likely die, as they always fight one dwarf per squad. Hmm.

Whats going on in my fort? Well... I'm on my 3rd year with over 80 dwarves. *hates migrants*
The location I picked has an aquifer, I managed to get around that and found some ore.
Also I managed to break an aquifer as well.. So I assume there will be a possible big flood soon, but oh well. LMAO!!!
Oh yes.. I started my fortress at year 3.

*Is playing 40D because he is a mac user*

Edit: My fort is called Cunning Trade.

I briefly tested out a new military-focused embark strategy which involves forgoing all standard survival supplies in favor of bringing as many metal bars and skilled armor users as possible; as a result, I had to both subsist entirely on gathered plants until I got enough seeds to farm with and produce most necessary supplies myself.

At first, I was concerned that the slightest hiccup would cause everything to grind to a halt and everyone to starve to death, as I literally had no booze or food to start with.
Fortunately, I am pleased to report that my plan can still be executed smoothly even after meeting such inconveniences as rodent men swarming the caverns and necessitating a cave-in, one of my herbalists being caught in a giant badgerstorm, and the underground folding in on itself and putting the Circus where the second cavern layer should have been. Even when those inconveniences occur consecutively.

[Zaerosz]

Oh my. One of my peasants just gave birth to triplets.

[Clover Magic]

Miner healed from Faint status.  He's still showing up as burned, but he's fine and living happily now.  I guess I just have a horribly-scarred miner for life.

In other news, I think my hunter is over-zealous.  The map is paved with elephant and unicorn blood, and I'm trying to keep up with the processing of all that food.  2000+ units of meat....elephants are big.  On the bright side, my hospital is now fully stocked with unicorn soap.

[Reudh]

Elves just arrived. A peasant has been assigned to a burrow so he can ignore the civ alert if a siege arrives too.

[ThatAussieGuy]

A Milker got swept down the new aquifer channel and drowned in what will be the new Trade Depot room.

At least I know the design works.  Now to pump out the room so I can bury the body...

[Reudh]

No siege arrived. Two ambushes. No dwarven casualties, aside from a fisherdwarf who took an arrow to the kidney.

[Gamerlord]

I have named one of my dwarves 'Baby Factory'. Why? Because she has given birth in every single yea she has been here. I'd kill her, but the tantrum spiral would destroy all my hard work. Goddamn lazy woodcutters and their social ways.

[rephikul]

War, war never ends.

[FearfulJesuit]

Oh my. One of my peasants just gave birth to triplets.

Does anybody know what the odds are for getting twins and triplets?

[Splint]

War, war never ends.

Seems the only people NOT pissed at you in some way or another are the drunks, humies, and tree fondelers
