I JUST CAUGHT MY SECOND FORGOTTEN BEAST
THIS ONE IS A WORM THAT BREATHES FIRE
I ONLY LOST A SINGLE GCS
WORTH IT
WOO

EDIT: When the merchants came, I sold them my usual cast off clothing, plus 1m U in prepared meals as extra. Now I can make all this meat and flour into more prepared meals! Yaaaaay!

[TechnoXan]

Sounds nice, my food and drink stockpiles are overflowing with local fruit beer, wine, and lots and lots of plump helmets. Yep, now I just have to get some magma up here.

[Splint]

I've begun testing for a mod, namely seeing if entities can share a creature, and if I got some reactions right for making sling bullets out of lead, leather slings and cloth quivers.

If everything works out, a planned fort will fare quite well indeed.

In the meantime, much of Torish's population has relocated to Sodel.Humans have finally sent a caravan, but the elves have yet to make an appearance. Probably because of said humans.

EDIT: Entities can indeed share a creature. Yis. The reactions though I botched somewhere...

[utunnels]

I wonder what happened to the humans. I haven't seen their caravans during the last 2 fortresses.

A weremarmot attacked and the only person awake in my 2-person military was my elite marksdwarf. I thought, what the heck, and lowered the drawbridge. So the first WTF moment was when he jumped over my line of cage traps. It wasn't just a little hop, either. That must have been a 6 or 7 tile leap. He was so fast my marksdwarf only got a handful of shots in (with silver bolts no less) before he was in melee range. I would have been panicking, but the marksdwarf had full steel armor and a shield, so I thought she would probably be okay. I checked the combat logs after a short time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In between taking point blank shots at him she was dodging everything he did. He had 6 to 14 attacks in between shots and he literally never touched her. Then I noticed she was a legendary dodger. Just as she ran out of bolts he transformed and she bashed his skull in with her -steel crossbow-. Just imagining this curb stomp fight was fun. Violence is the best part of this game. 
To be fair, there was a war dog he had to divide his attention. The dog didn't fare so well.

Werebeasts can't be trapped.

Some friend she is.

I intend to get this fort up far enough to withstand some fun from the neighbors, right now I've got the early layout setup and the planning stages of a pumpstack  backup are in place waiting on the smelting and forging of the components.

Oh, when I say fun from the neighbors, I mean ‼Fun‼ from the ‼neighbors‼, most likely:


Figure if I can get it going long enough I can piss off the elves and humans and see if I can't get them to war with me for more fun in adventurer mode, then I'll set up a twinked adventurer, gear her up with artifact toys and activate the magma pumps before heading out into the world to play.

[utunnels]

Wow, I didn't notice I ran out of food.
Before the caravan left, I quickly made some bone greaves and grabbed some meat.


A 6 years old dwarven child has arrived. I noticed she was the creator of some artifact and former member of two other forts.

[TheKaspa]

Played with the roller, I wanted to understand how to make an automatic minecart railway.
I managed to kill a mason and a mechanic. Who cares for the mason, but the mechanic was my only skilled one.

Now I need to understand how to put the water in the Dwarven Power Generator in a reasonable time. I do not have enough water in the caves...

[utunnels]

I began to carve bedrooms, again. I stopped doing that a long time ago.

[utunnels]

Ah, great, now over 1/4 of my population are babies/children.

[TheFlame52]

Ah, great, now over 1/4 of my population are babies/children.

That's nothing. In the early days of Bastiongate, half my population was children. Since then they have all grown up.

[Naryar]

Kobolds and tigermen thieves have started showing up very early. First winter, in fact.

I have a few dwarves training but i'm afraid I won't be quick enough to have ready dwarves for these tigermen ambushes.

Also I started with copper as a military metal instead of iron. Well i've mined some hematite now but still :O

Elf caravan. Must check what they have in wild animals and not forget about it.

My masons are producing really a lot of quality marble furniture so buying the elf caravan won't be a problem.

[endlessblaze]

ahhhhhhhhhhh...marble...........one of my faves.....pleasing to the eyes, as furniture and décor, and useful in the gaining of steel

[Wooster]

So apparently I generated a world without *any* iron in it. Therefore, no anvils. I am impressed, but not impressed enough to attempt an embark.
