I am getting fucking sick of Sive Lacechains and her tamed bobcats and the journey she was on when she tamed the bobcats. We only have several hundred figurines and another few hundred engravings.

I don't even know what she looked like because she's a twilight horror wife and I don't know what those are!

At current, I have a fortress of which goal is to make doors and survive in a questionably hostile environment.

Seems simple, I have only had to suffer a necromancer (with a dwarf corpse that mysteriously vanished) that raised two falcons that my hammerdorf took care of.
Recently I have decided that elven envoys a crap and slayed them. A goblin soon appeared in my fort, friendly as can be as I caged her butt and stuck her next to the necromancer. Turns out she was a were-lizard. (CRISIS AVERTED)

But yes, I have a stockpile of doors, the Vault of Doors, which constantly gets filled and emptied by the season. My current goal: increase production now that I have more dwarves!

I was still playing my 40.03 fort, the one with the longer than normal embark and a volcano.  The fort is actually really successful, the waterfall on the entrance to the great hall only leaks slightly, and the rest is pretty great.  I've not worried too much about optimizing labors, everything still got done anyway.

I've stopped to update to 40.04 though, since the lag got bad enough to make me want to.  It wasn't crawling or anything, but I could see where it started.  Guess there is some wisdom to heartlessly killing the cats you get.

I'm trying to get Ownrag to die already without completely making it die (i.e. letting out my dragon or hydra). Come to an end already! I'm still playing v.34, and now that it seems v.40.04 is pretty stable, I want to try it. But I don't want to give up on Ownrag. My hubby doesn't even play DF anymore, and he's got the new version downloaded and made himself a world (then we went to bed, so he hasn't tried it yet). So maybe I need to do something dwarfy - breach the caverns and face the 3 FBs there, or run headlong into the next siege sounds fun...

First time on an evil map. I was doing very well: had iron and flux, heavily wooded area, caverns only about 6-7 levels from the surface. Then a series of unfortunate events occurred:
1. I sent my only soldier, a crossbowman, to chase down a kobold who had stolen his crossbow. After a few punches the kobold dropped the crossbow, so I told him to stand down. He then runs from the kobold and climbs a tree, then jumps from the top of that tree across the stream to another tree and, predictably, falls to the ground, hurting his arm (although not badly). He is taken to his bed to rest.
2. My two yaks were about to starve, so I did what I usually do in that situation: I butcher them. It didn't cross my mind that I was in an evil region, with known reanimating effects.
Next thing I know, the fortress is terrorized by two yak skins while my military sleeps.

A deity in my world is called The Steel-Avalanche of Flames. He is he deity of volcanoes but is sadly depicted as a male hoary marmot and he looks offended in the figurine.

Or go claim the adamantine sword somewhere on the map. That'll do the trick.

OT: It took the liason until the beginning of winter to arrive.

EDIT: Possessed dorf is just sitting in the meeting hall. Am I missing a workshop or something? Her only skills are weaver and clothier.
EDIT2: finished a clothier's shop and she literally sprinted to it. Neat.

Elves came to trade, bought some fruit and a second mahogany buckler and some spare barrels. then tried to offer them a masterwork apple wood bin cause I wanted them to leave and wanted them to leave now since our dealings were done and I wanted to be a little shit. I like to imagine the exchange went something like this.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Broker: Oh! And we wanted to offer you guys a little something, since you've been good partners so far! *presents masterwork wooden bin*

Elf: What the fuck! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THIS TREE!?

Broker:... So you don't want the bin? It's freeeeeeeeeeee!~

Elf: No you tree killing fuck!

Broker: Alright, now that last bit was uncalled for. And if you don't take the bin I want my mugs back. but really, come onnnnn.... it's free, it's geometrically perfect... And freeeeeeeee~

Elf: What? But we-

Broker: And dont forget, there's four armed dwarves in that room over there *gestures to depot barracks* Now, gonna take this rrreeeeeeally nice bin for free? Or am I gonna have to take back my merchandise?

Started a new fort.  Decided to use a desert volcano.  Had a grand idea to make the entrance to my fort go over the top of the volcano, just barely above the magma.  Then, when I was designating the floors to be built in order to make the bridge to the entrance side, where I had already had them build a retractable bridge.  The mason decided to be extra dwarfy, and build from the side of the bridge.  The side that would not be supported without floors from the far side already.

I only noticed his failure when it was too late, and I got the collapse message.  Followed quickly by the "You have discovered the Magma Sea" and "Raw Adamantine!  Praise the miners!"

I facepalmed, and stopped there.

[Chevaleresse]

Reclaim and start again? I mean, tossing one dwarf into the magma sea to discover all of the adamantine on the map seems to be a fair trade. Or, yknow, doing the same thing with a kitten.

I would do it with a kitten, but the one dwarf was my only mason, and I wasn't terribly fond of having someone pull double duty.  At any rate, it's late, I'm tired, and I didn't prepare carefully anyway.  No big loss, I've already abandoned, and I'll probably reclaim tomorrow.

[MaskedMiner]

Oh. Umm. Whelp this is... Weird

I didn't realize that previous historical figures who destroy fortress in world gen may remain in ruins <_< Or at least forbidden beasts do. I think its because they hide in one room and only way they are spotted if dwarfs go to that room

SO I guess I'm lucky that "Current Residents" don't move at all... I forbidden all doors to that room and now poisonous flying leech just stands there. Lucky that he didn't attack anyone. But yeah, no clue what to do with the leech, do I just wait till I have strong enough soldiers to kill it?

[da_nang]

Cave-in trap. You might need a sacrificial lamb though.

I neglected to check the cause of death of a worldgen reclaim fortress, and ran into something similar. Wall him in and forget about him, I guess. If he doesn't have a gas or spit attack, you can fortification some walls and make it into a shooting range.

I'm picturing a dwarf opening the door while exploring a ruin, seeing a, shambling primeval horror from the deep, and just slowly closing the door while the creature stared at her with its equivalent of eyes, and nonchalantly telling everyone that the room is out of limits.
