Oh, you can actually find quite a lot of masterworks in adventure mode towns. And it's always made by 'unknown artisan'.

I am trying to survive an ambush without losing so many dwarves...

[Thudde]

I finally get the main entrance bridges in place and am working on the outer walls, when the dwarf caravan arrives.  They immediately discover an ambush.  I spend a moment deciding whether or not to send out the military when it turns into a full scale siege.  Oh well, I can always pick up the ruins from the caravan later.   I close the main gate, activate the military and station them inside in case anything gets past the traps, and sit back to watch the bad guys chase down all the horses.  That's when I notice one military dwarf running out to the caravan.  Why?  I'll never know. 

He manages to run right between a group of wizards and a group of battle dragons (Fortress Defense mod).  They promptly kill him.  That's when two other dwarfs decide to charge out of the fort, with their infamous battle-cry "DIBS ON HIS BOOTS!"  They manage to run right between the same wizards and dragons, who this time manage to just flame each other.  They apparently then agro'd each other, and killed themselves to the last beast.  The two dwarfs take the armor from their dead fellow and run safely back.  But then, two more set their eyes on the armor the last two dwarfs left outside.  They chase it down right into the middle of the forest fire started by the wizard/dragon fight.  More head out to get their stuff, and by the time its over I have 10 dead dwarfs. 

Once the fire is out I release everyone to pick up the debris.  While deciding what to do with my proceeds from the dead caravan, I don't notice that one tree was still burning.  Enough vegetation then grows back that the map again catches fire!  Half my fort is lost in the ensuing forest fire.

Welp, the dwarven caravan arrived, and I'm having this Glitch happen to me. More or so HYPER SPEED MACH 1 WAGONS A GOGO!

I'm not even sure how to respond to this. At first I thought my FPS cap broke, but it seems fine. (I should mention, The liaison also moved hyper fast, while everything that isn't part of the caravan is moving normally.

The Osorumer Pump Project has claimed the lives of many workers.  Nevertheless, we must continue to push forward.  We arrive at the dawn of our fifth winter, and some progress can be seen. 

In honor of this milestone, I have immortalized the final resting place of Sarvesh Morulzanos, Kadol Dodokathel, and Litast Orrunasob on an index card:

May your deaths not be in vain, unless I get bored of this fortress.

Oh good. I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience that. I thought maybe the traders had given the wagons Red Bull or something.

[Lich180]

Traders have finally made it into our depot! Finally, different food besides plump helmets!

Unfortunately, the surface is still covered in zombies, husks, and zombie husks. Our cage-a-zombie system has been finished, and has had a repeating spike system attached, to help thin the numbers of wandering undead.

Yay.

What's wrong with those tiles?

[Lich180]

What's wrong with those tiles?

I'm using the 16x16 default, so they are square. The rectangular look bothers me, I like symmetry in my fort, and everything being squashed on the x-axis looks funny.

No, the ì walls.

[ZzarkLinux]

I wonder who would win in a fight, your Fiendish Smoke Husk Corpses or my Creeping Murk Zombie Corpses?
Either way, that fight would be awesome.

Has anyone made a fort yet where the only playable civilizations are various Nefarious/Gloomy/Acrid Husk/Thrall/Zombie people?
A Smoldering Ash Zombie caravan has arrived
Just in time, we were running out of brains !

I want to know this too.

I apply for thirdness. Tell us.

[MrWillsauce]

Is it the tile for an engraved wall if you have engravings set to obscured in the Init file?

The dwarves of Powerfurnace have slaved away for many months, and now our mountain home has a built-in protection-reclaim system. When the lever-dwarf pulls the RED LEVER, millions of gallons of water splash out over the centre island, covering it and the adjoining three levels with water. once the water has been started, all surface access is cut off.

To reset,  all the lever-dwarf has to do is pull the BLUE LEVER, and all that water gushes straight down, through the temple and to the under-sewer, hopefully carrying all that dreadful invader-waste with it. That's the theory, anyway. It only cost 3 fisher-dwarves, a miner and two dogs!(killed in accidental collapses, of course.)

My mayor has taken a liking to crowns... I'm starting to wonder if my aspirations to attract the king are wise... We may have a coup d'etat on our hands soon...
We'll see how this goes... :p
