trust me-the caverns will be easier (or at least the first cavern layer will be)

It's probably a moot point- the mechanic did not, in fact get the mechanisms and lever built before my former militia commander decided to run in. I threw every ablebodied dwarf at him, and had him pinned in a corner for a while, but he slaughtered his way out. My fortress population now consists of 9 children- I had 11, but the axedwarf thrall chased them outside and into yet another fog cloud.

Since I'm bloody-minded, I'll see if they make it till migrants.

my pokemon fort (which I'm now thinking of it as) is working out well. just seized all the wood from the first elven caravan, and am setting up power relays now for my hybrid wind/water reactor and desal plant. the "Free war dog for everyone" plan seems to be doing well for keeping them alive through all but unfortunate accidents.

Just experienced the cascade of teeth bug when my water buffalos went at it(note to self, slaughter them ASAP). I've got 20+ teeth in my stockpile...now here's to hoping THEY don't rise as well(I mean....how would that even WORK?!)

Like a swarm of suicidal hornets.

I don't think the teeth thing is a bug, in the old version nobody had more than four teeth, now they have a more realistic number.

I think it's more a case of "I hope those twenty teeth don't resurrect and chase me", a la the sentient horse hair thing.

The vampire menace may or may not be over... I'm not exactly sure. We found another dwarf dead - this time one of our guards. One of our mason's accused our mayor - Momuz Logemsanad. Meanwhile they in turn accused the manager. I don't know who it was, but I thought it more likely to be the mayor (since he's also the witness for the other), so I convicted him. he's serving 200 days strapped to a rope. I sort've wish these people would be more willing to do this convicting themselves. This matter needed to be resolved quickly though, so waiting around to see if they would wasn't worth the wait.

I also accidentally said something about one of our miners, which made the captain of the guard suspect a miner for a cold case. Yeah, I couldn't change his mind after the fact, so there are two people attached to ropes for 200 days. Oh well. I'm glad to have the cases closed either way, I was starting to suspect my captain of the guard himself.

Because the person dead is one of our guards, I had to replace him. I'm not happy about that, because they were getting pretty good in their sparring sessions. They, just the two of them, fended off an ambush of kobolds.

That's a terrible thing to hope, I dream about having my fortress overrun by murderous teeth and hair. I've yet to get a single zombie fort. Every time I embark I get nasty monsters and toxic rain but never zombies.

[Stoup]

Just had a migrant wave of 66 drop in, quadrupling my population. SO MANY CHILDREN.

[Chaos Armor]

I embarked and the zombies did a never ending Zerg rush on me. I tried to reclaim the fort after that, same results.

[Stoup]

Woah, loads of FUN! Shortly after the migrant wave, a forest titan with silk webs appeared and slaughtered the holy hell out of my military. Which was unarmed, still, even after a year with this fort. It promptly smashed down into the dining hall and murdered several people and children, then went to beat up one of the merchant's horses in the workshop area, where fortunately it is now walled off. Unfortunately, however, the workshop area is connected also to the food stockpile and masonry quarters... If I act quickly I can probably seal those off too.

The beast is contained, and the fortress saved! For now. I salvaged almost all I could. Only real loss is a stone stockpile with a ton of gypsum and a furniture stockpile full of rock pots. I'll probably make the beast's area into an execution chamber... but for now I'll focus on building a proper military.

Total death count: 25 dwarves and pets. Among them were 2 children and a baby. Additionally, a cook who'd gotten a fey mood went insane after he was unable to find whatever the hell he wanted. He's only melancholy, though. Hope he won't scare the children; I'd imagine a depressed dwarf must be quite a disheartening sight to them

New version!  Must start new fort!

A new legend will be founded in the border between Haunted mountains and a dense pine forest.  Gobbos are only a few tiles away, who are my only neighbors besides dwarves.  There are about 12 dwarven civilizations, including one sprawling across the top of the southern continent.  Stormcastle has been founded!  Strike the earth!

Edit: First wildlife to appear are a peregrine falcon (yay for favorite birds!) and a kakapo.  Underwhelming, but at least means I'm getting the bolthole dug before anything nastier comes, if it does.

From what I've seen,it most certainbly will. Yes, I'm undwarfy. I went with a more survivable warm Untamed Wilds starting fort so i could get my bearings.

And before you all cry burn the elf, I'd rather fight waves of pissy giant versions of harmless animals that stay dead than zombie horse hair. Even though that's funny as hell.

Wildlife did not come, but a vile dust cloud did, right over my livestock too.     It was a glorious end by Stray One-Humped Camel vile dust thrall.  Sweet, this is awesome.

I keep trying to build forts in the new evil biomes, but before I can even get my stuff inside they get rained on and die.

This new team should fare better. it's an elite team of miners with their medic.

I've tried war dogs, but those just come back to bite you in the ass...

literally...
