Im not really in a fort
I modded giant desert scorpions to use boiling toxic gold that first causes pain, swelling and paralysis in the leg, and later on just about everything whit strong severity, without death.
Its fun to watch 4 trails of blood and vomit leading to several corpes.
Oh, corpses that were actually injected whit it instead of beining 'caught in a burst of toxic gold' evaporate.
Hooray for dwarven physics!

So, I have been nibbling away at the bluemetal spire at WIngences for a few dozen z's, and once I get down to the magma sea I start engraving fortifications in it just to be careful. Eventually the inevitable happens and my engravers activate those that live beneath. A good few pages worth of salt banshees and salt fiends and salt demons spawn and pop up to the top of the tube, where my marksdwarves take out a fair few (about 7 by counting the severed heads) thanks to the uselessness of salt as a demon material. What happens next is odd. The rest retreat back down the tube, and to the edge of the map in the hell layers and vanish off the edge. No more demons have spawned since then - around 1 whole year ago. Seems I can mine the rest of the tube in peace. Thus ends the first anti-climactic story of my first successful hell conquest.

Food overproduction in one of my forts.   Any idea how long these stocks will last?

Had a few month break in DFing, but had to start again, just in the anticipation of the new version.

Played a few of adventurers first to get accustomed and now started a new Fortress — Mistworks of the Lost Guild, from the civilization of The Ordered Attics (!). Interesting how most of the key commands are still pretty much in the nerve memory.

I also installed a graphical tileset for the first time in my DFing career, since I'm trying to get my brother addicted to DF (so far attempts have been unsuccessful). The tileset sure makes it difficult to recognise the stone types without look-command.

My guess would be it'd take around 15 years for 100 Dwarves to exhaust it

[FearfulJesuit]

Start cooking it all!

I've got 200 dwarves, so I'll start food production back up in 5 years and be set.

Also, 3,200 plump helmets.

Start cooking it all!

This is a good idea.  But I'll wait, as I literally have no room.

[FearfulJesuit]

What? Of course you do- undesignate a 3x3 plot in your food stockpile.

[Vehudur]

That's true.

Yay, after 5 years of meddling with my citizens' love lives, I finally managed to get two to marry!  Been lovers forever, it's time to stop teasing and get on with it.

And I finally finished my moat!  I feel one step closer to being a true dorf.  If only it was a magma moat.

The only problem with using the patched 31.25 exe for wagons is that after almost a year of playing without wagons, I forgot what they need to get to my depot.

Currently paving the entire perimeter of my map with roads.  So many trees...tropical coniferous is all and well for plenty of wood and loads of elephant roasts, but for every tile of open grass there's three trees.

Migrants arrived just after the elves left. One got mauled by a wolf and injured her foot. She's crippled by it... I'm not going to allow a migrant crippled the instant she arrived to survive. She's been drafted and is unhappy because of the draft and major injuries. She's been ordered to kill the rest of the wolves to make it safe for the masons to build the Great Limulunnos Wall.

One of the migrants was a High Master Armorsmith. HOORAY!

My artificial caverns in the dirt of cliff over a river are done and growing. Trees are already growing. Only bad thing is that the rest of the fort is not done at all. There isn't even any stockpiles yet. I only have 10 beds right in the middle of the cavern for my 53 dwarves. It's already summer of the next year, too. Oh well, at least I have something to brag about and my miners are well trained on the dirt.

Up next: Central fortress, expansion to the other side of the river, and toying around with the brook which makes a waterfall into the river.

I watched a dwarf go berserk for no reason in the middle of a child's party in the Dining Hall.  Little Urist McChild got to watch the Fed Syrups rush in and hack the guy to pieces right in front of him.  Happy Birthday, lil' guy!
