I breached a few caverns, and my military force has become quite useful. Reahers are my current largest source of food, and i've given up on alcohol. We will use water from here on out. Don't like it? too bad. For tha tmatter, no we're not burying the two dead dwarves either. Why? because we have more important things.

Like a beautiful healthy blue strand of minor spoilers.

Adamantine! Well, it's been a while since I played with this stuff, so I'm being extra careful. I'm having my spare dwarves dig around it, so that we can be absolutely sure of each place we dig. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but it is going into weapons of some sort. I may also make some chain armor, but no full sets of clothing or anything.

Welp, it appears that the elves are incapable of reaching my fort. That or my fort is so far out in the middle of fudging nowhere that the elven caravan will be a once-every-two-to-three-years type of thing.


I just realized..... I forgot to check what civs were nearby on the embark screen. Oh dear, I really want goblin sieges now that I actually have access to iron. D:

Edit: Just opened the water flow in the aqueduct system. Because my brewers are refusing to brew some idioit dorfs are running through the arilock system INTO the water to get a drink. Or get a stone, seeing how it's a craft dorf.

Dorfen stupidity never ceases to amaze.

EDIT: Correction, the craft dorf IS SLEEPING at the top of the aqueducts. Surprisingly the water is draining fast enough that s/he is ALIVE.

What on Earth is going on here.

UPDATE: Cistern is to small, well is over flowing. BUT not all is lost. You see there is a flood gate I installed to so seal off the water source in case of contamination, but, it seems If I pull it, the fort will be saved. This is because, it ,well, seals off the water source.

Alright, floodgate pulled, fort is save. That was too close, in fact, I was about to rage abandon when I realized I had installed the flood gate.

Edit: The idiot craftdorf made it out of the aqueduct alive, and thirsty dorfs are drinking from the puddle in the hospital the occurred from the well incident.

I started in a new location after having seen captnduck show off some evil stuff in Snarlingurn. I was lulled into a false sense of security by how his evil dusts would dissipate upon leaving the evil biome.

Note how the fort is surrounded by evil on three sides. This is going to be FUN.

Oh, so that's what that particular dust does.

Just repelled an ambush with 2 casualties only, seeing the last ambush one goblin took out 30 of my guys, going down to 2 for dealing with ~15 is a pretty good improvement.

My animal trainer has an "army" of 30 emu chicks which follow him everywhere, so for lawlz i put him in my army, need to see if the chicks attacked during the ambush, that would be hilarious. A few took some hits which "may" have saved a dwarf, who knows, lost a few chicks but will be quickly replenished.

Currently breeding as many animals that lay eggs as possible, hence the emu army. Need to grab some giant cave swallows though, seen a few in the caverns but not yet ventured into the depths.


To be fair on the ambush, the only goblins which weren't encased by traps were 3 bowmen, and they took out 2 dwarves cos my xbow dwarfs decided to sit on top of a wall and shoot from 3 miles away and didn't do too well (duh).
Seems the retard group which was trying to join in the fight (whom i turned into a squad, just for lolz, none of which are any good at fighting whatsoever) actually did a decent amount of work in the fight, considering their retardedness.

Still, not bad, got some more stupid goblins to train marksdwarves on, seeing they can't shoot a thing even whilst being pretty skilled.

I just had to scum 2 embarks to undead falcons, but I finally got my RabbitHut started in a nice Terrifying mountain desert.
Zombies and Dwarf Blood rain will make it an overseer's paradise.

I've got the dwarves forbidden inside, until the coast is clear to harvest the wagon.

Maybe your dwarves will engrave:
This is a picture of a wagon and thralls. The wagon is surrounded by the thralls. The artwork relates to the first terrrible thing to happen in snarlingurn during the first month of its founding.

I just accidentally flooded my fort because it'd been a while since I last played and forgot about closing off the very top part of a pump stack but luckily no permanent damage will come from this. I turned off the power and will wait for things to dry then punch a few holes for drainage purposes. Still kind of embarrassing considering how long I've been playing lol

[RabblerouserGT]

Channeled all the way down to caverns for a well to keep my dorfs from starving.

Protip: if water freezes, ANY water subjected to light freezes, keep your wells indoors.


How I know? This is the buttom of my well, which was in the open.

Just that tiny little bit.. that's ice.

Knowing dwarf fortress, this seems fitting to point out.

Trying to stop my dwarfs from bungejumping off my waterfall for water to few seeds to brew to few plants to make a living, thank god the endless waves of immigrants ignore that i have over 20 missing dwarfs! ^^ 

[Mishrak]

I just dug a magma forge out, designated a sacrifice to die to the lava flow and designated a carve fortification in smoothed obsidian.  What happened next was perplexing.  He was washed away from the stairs by the pressure of the magma, all the way to the end of my channel.  I expected him to just be annihilated by the magma, but he sat there pinned against the wall dying of thirst and not the molten rock.  I finally decided to bring one of the other miners down to dig a channel addon and let him get out, which he did.  But not before he got possessed and has now taken over a Craftsdwarf's Workshop and is makign something mysterious.  Anyone run into this before? lol. 

He's not wearing anything other than normal cloth, and he suffered no injuries at all from what I can tell.

[Raggsockan]

I had a dwarf who was stuck in a 7/7 water not drowing just sitting there same thing happened but with water, He died while throwing a tantrum becouse of no food XD

Yeah, this has happened before - it's because magma doesn't actually destroy tissue, but merely melts the fat off dwarves and causes them to bleed a lot. They usually die from bleeding rather than being on fire.

Animal population was getting seriously out of hand. So i embarked on a mass butchering campaign.

I now have 5392 meat for a population of 149.

Nice to know I have company. I have almost nothing BUT meat.
