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.

I want to know this too.

I apply for thirdness. Tell us.

Oh. That is a black sand wall, if I remember right. At work right now, or I would check to be sure.

Effed up a reaction, so there's now 150 "cheese" items sitting in the food stockpile.  They're still edible, apparently, so there's that, but man.

Also, maximum minerals is ridiculous.  I set it to 250 to get some rare custom ore to appear for testing purposes, and now I'm sitting on over 1000 diamonds and 4000 platinum according to prospect.  Obviously I need to build a platinum temple with diamond-blinged statues.

Kobolds, Zombies, and !! Elves !! are spawning on my surface. Some of them are overflowing into the trap hall.

Time to seal the bridge and let Armok sort them out.

EDIT: And my first goblins too. About time they showed up.

The real FUN in my fort has just started. 3 years on a dual evil biome. Half re-animating with necrosis death clouds on the ocean side. The other side, didn't seem evil at all. Seemed perfectly harmless. It's now year 3 and lo and behold, a husk ash cloud blows in from whats been the harmless side. Cloud husks a kingsnake, the kingsnake immediately runs over to my puppy early warning system and turns them into husks. I close down the fort. Us on the inside. Cuddly wuddly balls of flesh devouring cuteness on the outside.

Somehow my Trade Depot got deconstructed.
I ordered to build a new one, but since my masons were busy making pots (and I started building the waterfall system), they couldn't care less about that building.

Then, the elven caravan passed by. And the merchants went straight ahead.
Guess what? Yes, AFTER the caravan a mason decided that it was the right time to rebuild the Depot. I think that I'll convict him for the next crime...

Shortly after, we got a siege.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No, they are not "just" arrived. I don't know why but they chose to camp a little south of the Fort. Good for me, now I have time to go from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 2 before closing the gate.

And that is the situation.


Light blue, the entrance to the murdering tunnel, under costruction and actually sealed off. I don't want another slaughtering of my untrained recruits.
Red, the two trade depots, on the left the existing one and on the right the remains of the old one. I think that the gobboes can loot whatever they want, I won't stop them.
Blue, raising bridges that will seal the Fortress.
Magenta, the farms (plump helmet) and the henhouse (actually, duckhouse since I wasn't able to fertilize the hen but only the duck).

Well, I'm not sure if it's possible to engage a single lone gob at a time or not.

It might be, but it may require complex machinery. A very complex maze...

You probably used a graphical tileset in the past, right? As far as I know, they all modify the raws to change the tiles used by things like walls, which once you convert back to normal ASCII (and fail to change the raws themselves back to their default states) looks stupid because it now uses mostly letters for walls and the like.

Just had my first real dose of danger room induced gobbo murder. 2 Swordmasters, full masterwork iron armor and with steel swords, 4 Hammerlords same as swordmasters with appropriate steel weapon, and a Macelord. They had fire support from 2 legendary markdwarves and 4 proficient marksdwarves. The result  was utter slaughter on no less than 5 goblin ambushes that ALL ARRIVED AT ONCE killing two farmers and about a dozen war dogs before my soldiers were able to rally and attack. There are now goblin bits everywhere and i'm running out of free furnace space to melt my used bolts due to all of the copper and silver armor/weaps clogging it.

My Miner made a rather fetching jet millstone. I find this odd, because I was just thinking about building a windmill too.

For once a completely worthless artifact turns out useful. Wow.

Would have done a water one, but my river froze and I may have suffered a mechanical problme no forseen... Also known as icy destruction of my well and unfinished mill power station.

As the scaffolding for the "Black H.A.L.O." addition to my mega-project was completed in year 123 I had my first dwarf die of old age, or of 21 kids, whichever is worse. A ledgendary spearmaster, he died while sparring.

Ah ok, I never really noticed anything was off. I changed from Phoebus to ASCII a month or two ago, and then used Mr. Frog's tileset for a while, then moved back to default ASCII. What exactly in the RAWs got changed, so I can fix it? Doesn't bother me any, but I figure I could change it to prevent any confusion on the forums.

[Clover Magic]

Basically, all the TILE tags tend to get changed in graphic sets.  If you don't use any mods, just replace your save raws in data/save/regionX with vanilla ones and it'll fix it.

To get the topic back on track...
I have a few near-immortal dwarves,  one of them is called Fischer. I have a few captured Spawns of Hollistic and it's a clusterfuck of mugs.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you....
