And it only took, what, six years? Jeez, FBs, get it together.

I know it's Orb Eagles, but I like to think of it as Or Beagles!

Please report to the retracting bridges for your emergency military assignment. And get me brain bleach while you're out, would you? I can't unsee that and it's massively undermining the majesty of the fort name.

With a legendary armorer (via mood) and weaponsmith (via Armok only knows how many menacing iron spikes), Orbeagles is on its way to actually having an equipped militia. Eventually. Also there are three FBs in my basements now.

Orr Beagles?!  Damn you Zhaitan, is nothing sacred?!

[Eric Blank]

The short answer is no. The long answer is also no.


For my fortress, I was inspired by a post in the "Share Your Funny Stories With Me!" thread to make a very segregated fortress: peasants on the surface, common craftsmen in the stone below, and nobility in the depths, with varying living conditions between them.

Two years in and that has yet to be set up properly: only the surface area for peasants has been set up, and goblin ambushes and thieves have caused several deaths. Now, I only had a tiny little meeting area, so the dwarves all became great friends with one-another, and there was virtually nothing to improve their moods, so these deaths resulted in a little tantrum spiral that caused several more dwarves to die. It's over by now, luckily, and migrants arrived to replace the dead.

Currently excavating the common craftsdwarf areas.

´´ Wear your pants, filthy peasant! Wear your goddamn pants! ´´
´´ Look, i pressed the to-be-medical dwarf into clothesmaking service! He made silk trousers! SILK. TROUSERS. Do you know how many year's salaries these would cost for you? Ofcourse you don't, you filthy peon!´´

´´Me lord! Dis is unacceptebol! I am all uncovered!´´
´´Then wear the trousers!´´
´´No me lord! I will tantrum now.´´

Yo dawg, so we heard you like statues, so we put a statue in your statue so you can admire while you admire.

Am playing my second ever fortress, and notice a giant olm in the caverns. I look this thing up, and the wiki says it's highly dangerous, so I order everyone out of the caverns. About an hour later I notice some Prepared Giant Olm Intestines in my stock, so I check the reports page to see what went on, fearing the worst. ONE LINE of combat report awaits me:

The flying acacia bolt strikes the Giant Olm in the head, piercing the skull and tearing the brain!


Basically, this hunter, with level 2 marksdwarfship has stolen some TRAINING AMMO, gone down where I told him not to go and CASUALLY SNIPED this FUCKING MASSIVE LIZARD!! WHY CAN'T MY SOLDIERS DO THAT?!!

[smjjames]

Well, its a giant salamander, not a lizard, but whatever.

[KingBacon]

Dude, giant olms are not something to triffle with. They will chase down dorfs AND MURDER THEM. I've had to conscript a spear militia quite a few times to drive one from the fortress staircase.

Note, spear militias are best militias.

I had a carpenter get moody, who then forced me to get scared as I learned how to convert sheep into "yarn cloth", which she then took and made a grate with, using the cloth to create an image of a book written by a moose demon as a set of like five books, the demon being imprisoned and having nothing else to do.

The book's name is "More Deformity."

She lived, but the fort fell to dehydration. raining goblin blood isn't exactly drinkable.

Hah. Raining goblin blood is entertaining, though!

That makes four. -rubs hands together in glee-

Edit, 10th Opal:

1. The military minions are doing individual training drills now that I've given them their weapons and told them to have at it. AW YISSSS

2.

[ImagoDeo]

Someone tell me why the caravan didn't bring wagons and didn't show up on the edge of the map in the caverns, but rather on the far corner of the surface level?

The whole 'not bringing wagons' thing is pissing me off. I heard the caravan can arrive through the caves, so why...?

[WoobMonkey]

Caravans can only leave through the caverns, not arrive.

Meh.

Jeez. I leave DF running while I go off to do something else and I come back to another monstrous dinosaur.
