Injured during world gen in a battle obviously.

This.

I once recieved a vampire Queen to my fort who was missing her left cheek. Eww.
(Dropped the ceiling on the sucker, boo ya!)

[zero2zero]

Just watching my most developed fort yet fall to a loyalty cascade because I didn't know those existed. Imagine how confused I was when suddenly anarchy everywhere... even the trained rattlesnakes from the snake pit broke out and started biting people! I'm already down from 200 to 100 dwarfs.

To the victor goes the adamantine!

Sounds like your mostly screwed. I reccomend stationing a squads away from the fort proper, let each squad duke it out, see if any survivers are loyal to civ and fort. if so, let them in, if not, lock them out. If civilians are fighting, draft them into squads too.

LIMBS AND TEETH FLYING EVERYWHERE WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING.

Just tested my new anti vampire system. All new migrants are forced to go to the testing room, which will be filled with water. After a couple of minutes, I open some floodgates and let the water out. Every dwarf, who has not drowned, is considered to be a vampire or worse, and will be either imprisioned for eternity in the catacombs or drowned in magma.

It appears that human civilization has deity as their diplomat. What an honor!




Downside is that humans are basically worshipping a huge guinea pig. Not sure what to think about it.

loyal to civ and fort

I thought the issue of loyalty cascades is that they either become loyal only to the civ or loyal only to the fortress's group. If you want to get through this and still trade, you'll want to go with the civ one.

Nope. Even if a Dwarf was loyal to just one group they'd still not try to rip each others throats out. Loyalty cascades are caused by Dwarves being enemies and members of the fort - so anyone who attacks them (which they will try to do) also becomes an enemy of the civ.

Also congrats!
500 pages of Dwarf Fortress!

500? i've got 999, I guess I've set it to less posts-per-page. 

In other news; I locked the doors to the caverns forgetting my exploration squad... then after looking at the combat reports I wondered how a giant toad got in though the doors...

I've got 1664.

Twin mist generators complete. Happiness abounds!

Time to begin leather clothing production. Almost all my dwarves are naked but have enough happy thoughts being generated they don't seem to mind their lack of clothing. Nevertheless, leather production should boost their defense against local troublesome wildlife considerably. That being said, I have far higher trained clothiers than leatherworkers. Maybe just leather shoes for now, with textiles for shirts and pants.

Bah, life used to be so much simpler when you could let them wander around naked caked in mud and vomit.

Its not a deity, its a demon, who tricked them into thinking it was a god.

actually, if a dwarf isnt loyal to fort, they ignore your commands.

[Shininglight]

Most of my fortress now has guinea pigs as pets. All born after this will be put into a cage for a guinea bomb to be dropped on the first goblin siege or theif i catch. I'm aslo going to mod guinea pigs to be war trainable... mainly for the lulz.

Edit: the worldgen wounded dwarf has sat in it's bed, not eating or drinking for two seasons now and isn't dead.... i'm pretty sure it's a vampire.

[ZzarkLinux]

Genning a new world for RabbitHut after upgrading to Fedora 17 (I like Gnome 3 myself).

Last embark had so much magnetite ... it felt like cheating.

Seriously, it's harder to exploit the meltingpants bug then it is to just simply embark on an iron mountain.
In an undead biome, the early wood is so critical that having an iron-mountain is was way easier compared to fueling and heating the meltingpants.

And worldgen just crashed again...
