[Thor]

Yet another Werehedgehog attack and subsequent infection.  This time my Weaponsmith and Armourer has been slain, I literally cannot handle this shit. 

[Repseki]

Another case of those mysterious flying/jumping dwarves. This time a carpenter flew from her bed to a wall with such a force that she basically split in gore and died immediately. Her three children watched by, horrified. This was the fourth dwarf to get suddenly airborne this way.

Is anyone else having dwarves crash land for no reason?

I've lost two children that way, but don't see any adults doing it more than occasionally. The two kids that died because of it were near constantly throwing themselves around the fort breaking bones and smashing different limbs for a few years before they finally died to it. Thankfully the other children I have don't seem to be copying them.

I've been having some fun with channeling and collapsing random bits of land, just because I want ot make everything look nice.

......also to have sheer cliffs. It's actually a good way to train dodging in non-military dwarves. If you only have 1-3 Z-level drops and don't mind bruising that goes away in a week or two.

I've been experimenting with raw modding, and I'm not entirely sure if I successfully made GSCs common domestic creatures that are trainable (seems like a dorfy, subterranean animal to me), and I'm certainly looking forward to getting some war wolverines (because I want them). Also, only 4 year child growth.

During a recent world gen experiments, for one time and one time only I was able to reclaim the only Dwarf Fortress on the map (I always start at year 2), but when I went to look at Legends to see qhy it was abandoned (it wasn't) and went back, I wasn't able to reclaim it. heh.

I was attacked by a squad of human recruits with one crossbowman and a goblin swordsman. Panicking, I sent my two freshly-recruited military dwarves to guard the entrance. Three dead humans later, the siege is broken. My axedwarf, the less skilled of the pair, dodged and blocked an entire quiver of bolts while running after the crossbowman. The hammerdwarf made the other two kills.

The dwarf caravan finally arrived for the first time in a few years since I wasn't under siege this time, and I discovered that three of our sites had been conquered by the goblins. Now my expedition leader suddenly becoming queen in the spring of the second year made sense.

[Maul_Junior]

aaaand I got another Reclaim thing.

Only this time I got the "Your civilization is dead or dying."

......never had one like that before.

this will be fun.

gonna need to be a little more careful on choosing what to bring this time around.

I'm also considering modding goblins to live only 20-30 years, so they are a short-lived race but extremely vicious while they are alive.



..yup. no significant leaders. I am the last of the Dwarven race. This will be fun.

Made sure to grab all livestock I could, except for the large livestock.

Breeding pair of all poultry, Alpacas, Llamas, dogs, cats--everything but cavys and rabbits.

.....this is something new. woo.

I just wish I had sand on my embark.

Aaaaand I'm savescumming because I didn't bring any stone.

>.<

Got all skills in place, trees/plants gathering set up, and that was that.


Also it looks like the Mountainhome got wiped out by a dragon.

I wonder if the King made it out.

New name for the Group ws, the very first time "The Familial Fortress"

sounds about right.


.....and I get to perpetuate the domestic Yak population. I get a Yak Cow and Bull as wagon pullers, woo.....the dwarf I had designated to fish became King......he's now the weaponsmith.........wtf. somehow I got a random zinc battle axe (I made all metals able to be used as ammo, weapons, and armor, just because). here I thought I'd need to make a wooden training axe like I normally do. oh well.

The Forgotten Beast Nokast Reko Assmo has come! A gigantic quadruped composed of flame. It has a long, swinging, trunk and appears to be emaciated.

FUUUUUUUUUNNN...

[Maul_Junior]

King went insane after I ignored his "needs." Threw a tantrum that killed a dwarf, heavily injured two others.....

It is at this point that I threw him the middle finger and decided to let this particular dwarven civilization die. If the King decides to take out half of the remaining Dorf population on a whim, then bugger him.

Crossbows are your friend.

[Chevaleresse]

That flame FB shouldn't be too dangerous as long as you keep it inside.

Probably went abandoned during the two week clock advance the game does before letting you pick embark locations.

I've already got a plan to deal with it. It involves draining my cistern at the exact right moment and crossbows. And swords if it comes to it.

it wont come to swords keeping it away from people is a smart idea but i assure you the crossbows will be enough

[Staalo]

There's a new boss in the first cavern layer: Sota, a great hairy lizard with wings and fire.  It killed every other critter in the cavern and set it on fire. Right now everything in there is burning down and due to burning tree cave-ins the cavern lake is now draining to... somewhere.

This won't do. Once the fires die down the crossbow squads will have to have a word with Sota.

[Maul_Junior]

not exactly in my fort right now, but I've decided that next world gen I will have all domestic creatures war trainable.

Fear my legion of rabbits and Cavies!
