I've started a new fortress, and set the population cap at 10. After year 1, there will be no immigrants.

The only population growth will be the way Armok intended it.

Negative?

I just had a Dragon show up, and beeline towards a bunch of white tigermen. "Oh", I say, "This should be interesting!". Dragon saunters up, breathes fire while still too far away to hit anything, and promptly gets swarmed and killed by the tigermen. Didn't even inflict an injury. "Wow", I say, "anticlimactic".

Probably wasn't old enough to do serious damage :|

So i'm playing masterwork fortress you know.
With everything on you know.
All invaders, you know.
So i receive the pop up "vile force of darkness"
Fine, it's stranglers my military would like something to play with.
Two seconds later "a vile force of darkness appears".
Then again.
And again.
And again.
And again, and again, and again, and again.
I've got nine different sieges.
Tigermens, Two "mechanoids" siegers, two stranglers, freeze titans?, pissed elves, and two more which i can't remember.
In the caves instead i have an army of ants and one of frogmen waiting for me.
and wounded who need water.
...
we are digging deeper.

"Swordhearth the Home of Heroes" received its second batch of immigrants yesterday. Why the hell anybody would migrate to what amounts to little more than an icy cave dug into the side of a glacier is beyond me.

they're all currently on masonry duty, building a cistern that I'm probably never going to use anyway and will simply have to redig in a few month's time. but it gives them something to do. My lone miner was joined by a second one today (I originally had two, but one had a run-in with ice) thanks to the Dwarven caravan being lifesavers with a supply of wood and an extra pickaxe.

Zombie Elk have been making nuisances of themselves outside, but nothing special. I think next time I construct a frozen fortress I'm doing it where the biome is terrifying instead of haunted.

Ringsilver's first death: The first expedition leader, killed by a goblin prisoner who she'd been locked in a room with. I was trying to earn her a proper title. Unfortunately, I didn't remove the goblin thief's inventory and he gut a lucky stab that severed her spine. The sick bastard just stood there, watching her suffocate. He was promptly recaptured, and shall learn the price of drawing dwarven blood: an eternity trapped inside his cage, sealed away beneath the earth.

imploded a mountain with a single well placed support. I feel bad for the next caravan that comes to this hole in the ground, they'll be able to see all the way down to HFS.

Started a new fortress today since I wasn't happy with the design of my last one. Picked a heavily wooded area in an untamed wilds surrounding. Should be interesting since I've always played super easy surroundings, however the game becomes a drag when on year 4 you've seen nothing but a few goblin snatchers. I'm breaking the fort up into designated floors. Floor one has farms, floor two has the entrance and mass storage facilities, floor three is housing, barracks, and dining halls, and floor four is all industry. After that is to be decided. My entrance hall is super long, so I'm going to have fun trapping the hell out of it. Outside has tons of trees and plants, but I may need to build a perimeter to keep it safe to venture out. Luckily I have already found coal and clay, so I shouldn't have to rely on wood so much.

Good computer shit the bed so I decided to mod the ever loving shit out of DF on this computer.

Current fort is progressing nicely, though until the dorfs start pumping out babies to make up for the dead civ, it'll be stuck at 18 dwarves. 5 of which are soldiers and 1 of whom for one reason or another refused to use a weapon. He's personally defended the fort from a massive macaque invasion, three full badger storms, and, because they were spooking my woodworkers, a unicorn. He's become attached to his cedar shield (a first for me,) and is also the only soldier without armor. And has the highest kill count of 23 animals. The rest have 1, 2, or none. Given my best soldier's skill, I'm wondering when he and his cedar shield will be able to face true fighters. Although he wont care if anyone dies it seems. After all the monkey and badger killing, he doesn't really care about anything anymore.

Also, using both modding to keep my animals all nice and safe underground without the threat of starvation and runesmith, I now have a captive unicorn breeding program, a thriving pig tail/llama/alpaca wool textile industry, and mountains of marble buried on a gazillion metric fucktons of clay and sand.  Seriously. I have so much fucking marble I'm making all my trade goods out of it that aren't made of macaque or badger bone. All I need now is a good iron source and I can skip the copper/bronze/iron tree and skip right to the steel.

Losthold shall become a shining beacon to all who forgot the dorfs of Everoc....
And if any of the world's Rocs shows up, them bitches is gonna end up integrated into my captive mythological creature breeding program. Especially since the Rocs killed every other mythical megabeast in the world. I don't even know how that is possible.

See, now this is why we build the Trade Depot outside the main fortress. Because when ambushes come during trade season, the merchants simply aren't interested in the goblins' bullshit. One Hammerdwarf in particular just dispatched three goblins singlehandedly, at first metaphorically, then literally, when the goblins smashed one of his arms to shit. Then... double-metaphorically, I guess, when they did the same to the other arm. Once the gobbos were either too scared or too dead to continue the fight, he returned to guarding the Merchants, horrific injuries be damned.

I wish I could have dwarves as tough as that guy.

So do I. Although deranged wood shield-wielding wrestler is filling the role nicely for me.

I just abandoned my fort to due to hundred-casualty tantrum spiral caused by a siege. Also, a singular Axe Lord is responsible for transitioning the world from The Age of the Hydra and Minotaur to The Age of the Belch. Good for him I guess. He was also one of the three dwarves who survived the spiral.

The metal bar clutter that was slowing my metal industry down to a crawl has been resolved by liberal application of bins made of said metal.  Military is now outfitted in hard steel and undergoing danger room training.  Life is still slow in Rainecho.  The dehydrated cow issue was resolved, it just took forever for the owner to haul his lazy bum to the pasture and water his cow.  So I don't have to worry about someone going crazy because they neglected their own pet.

So many peacocks.  Must apply butchers to the problem.  Peacock leather cloaks for everyone.

I currently have an FPS of... 4.
Damned jotunn (giants) shooting fireballs everywhere, setting fire to the snow! At least they haven't charged into the fort yet, being distracted by the livestock, but with everything burning it'll be along time before things get back to normal... Just my luck, having the enemy giants, tigerfolk and beakwolves all allied with one another.

I still remember the horrors that occured last time the giants came... There's no way I want to inflict that upon my poor, downtrodden dwarves again. D: At least we have water, but it's from the caverns... I have stationed the great Commander Inod down there to keep an eye out for giant toads trying to eat thirsty dwarves. Food there is no shortage of, thank Atir!

Only in dwarf fortress can fireball throwing giants set fire to snow.
