A rather eventful fortress, eh?

I finally embarked on a plot, and hopefully won't be murdered by crashes. It's centered around an inlet of a tropical brackish lake, the surroundings being tropical savanna and marshland. And it's scorching hot. Welcome to Dragonsmiths.

Help !
I'm an internoob, and I don't understand all the penguin-tars.

Why are there so many abstract penguins in peoples' avatars all of a sudden?

I'm worried my bun needs a disguise...

I started a new fort and built a water moat around it (of course, after accidentally flooding it, scrambling to seal a connection with the fort off, waiting for it to freeze, seeing it not freeze because it was salt water, and finally, after it did freeze, mined the ramps which were still there, because I didn't have time to remove them before the accidental flooding part).

And a fisherdwarf went missing...

By that logic, you shouldn't be able to play dwarves because they don't show thinking ability.

Salt water does freeze. I embarked at the ocean, it was salt water, and it froze  :-\

I can assume only that your fortress is so successfully Dwarven that animated dead bodies are legitimately considered migrants.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

Testing has completed on the grand goblin melter mark2.  Complete automation was achieved in year Embark+4, with a mean cycle time (empty->full->empty) of 17 seconds.  510 tiles of goblinite-liberating 7/7 magma, with no appreciable FPS loss during operation. 
Praise Armok!

Aren't we all just animated bodies?

In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.

A mountain titan showed up at my doorstep at precisely the wrong time. One of my soldiers was trapped on a wall overlooking the lake and one of my marksdwarves was taking a nap, so I had a grand army of two to deal with the bloody thing. A towering beetle of some sort, with bright orange scales and a poisonous bite. The one soldier I had available, the militia commander, was immediately set upon and ravaged by the beast, while the one available ranger started beating it ineffectually with her crossbow shield. Her baby didn't even swing at the thing. Worthless child!
After some time watching it beat the shit out of my commander and gleefully accept the light bruising from the marksdwarf, and realizing my masons were too incompetent to finish the flooring to release the other soldier, I ordered some farmers into the militia to attack it. They and half a dozen dogs immediately assaulted the creature, and it was soon brought down by the unarmed hordes. The militia commander bled out as soon as it was slain. Luckily, he has no friends or family to get pissy about it. :P

Damn lot of fun for such a young fort. Probably not in my best interest to set titan attack requirements so low.

The project of Fortress DestinedFailure is going excellently.

I have recently purchased a goblet and my fort is giving me plenty of excuses to be celebrating with it!

Soon is the dawn of the Fort-born's adulthood. Their chambers and palaces are being prepared as I type. The RGM has given me a king of excellent features, with a full family, consort and children. May his blood reign for ever!  He is also a keen worshiper of Togal, Dwarven god of War and Fortresses, his name translates as Storm.

Yes that's right.  STORM... The god of WAR and FORTRESSES...

The construction of your vast temple is underway, my dear master of the storm....
