In my cages, I have:
 - two giantesses
 - a cyclops

 - four FBs
 - a roc
 - a fire imp
 - a magma crab

And I've tamed pretty much every animal known to man.

[TechnoXan]

He is wearing a dress because dwarves are wonderfully non-sexist.

Haha, true.  They also have some interesting clothes, A troll fur dress, A cave dragon scale boot.  they remind me of Bear Grylls. Doing anything to survive! 


(PS: I didn't mean any offense! Just a joke if anyone took it wrong!:D)

To my surprise I noticed some fish swimming in a water reservoir that's supposed to be closed tightly from the source brook. To get rid of them I designated the wells as a fishing zone and now my fisherdwarves keep hauling in tons of fish and pond turtle from the few square urist water tank.

There are no fish or turtles anywhere else on the map. I'm not complaining but still...

Fishable fish are vermin like mice or roaches. They teleport anywhere in the relevant biome. Right now the Biome includes your cistern even tho it's not actually connected to any other water.

So you'll keep getting them until you fish all the fish out of the biome.

Years ago I lived in a trailer park with a basketball court, said court was built after they filled in the pool, said pool was filled in after the turtles and fish got out of control, said turtles and fish were previously kept under control by fishing, said fishing is the reason they were released into the pool in the first place.

As for neighbors, I posted this but since there is a pissing contest going on, I'll go ahead and win pre-emptively:




This one has all 5 towers as neighbors and war with the gobs:

My fort is the furthest southwest by the vault and north of the roc lair.

[Balthasar42]

Dostob the Green Glass Mountain Titan has come! A flying humanoid web-slinger. My ninety-odd dwarves (not counting children and babies) have now been trapped inside the fort for a season as I get my cave-in trap ready. Meanwhile Dostob idly flies around the countryside finding giant magpies to punch in face.

And then in Hematite: tragedy! A hapless human caravan arrives and is instantly set upon by Dustob, who ensnares them all, murders their yaks and then proceeds to beat the merchants and guards to death with one of their own socks... over the course of 28 days.

Now, the humans' heads have finally, mercifully caved-in, and Dostob turns his attention to a new passage I've opened up. Man, I hope this damn trap works.

[Skuggen]

There's a winged triceratops with webs roaming the caverns, slaughtering the wildlife (and their parts when they invariably reanimate). It's killed two giant cave spiders so far, so I'm a bit uncertain about letting it meet my military.

Also, the guard captain made a very nice steel buckler, which I let him keep.

[TheKaspa]

Yes!  The traders brought more armor this time, though they brought no useful metals.

My militia commander is wearing some leopard leather trousers, a pig leather dress, an alpaca wool coat dyed blue, a steel breastplate that menaces with spikes of giant rat bone, a sheep wool cloak, a pig tail fiber cap, a porcupine leather hood, a pair of cave spider silk gloves, a pair of giant cave spider silk mittens dyed blue, a pair of alpaca wool socks dyed blue, a pair of giant cave spider silk shoes, a well-crafted steel battle axe, a water buffalo leather backpack with a strawberry and a prickle berry in it, a finely-crafted bronze shield, encrusted with briolette cut alexandrites and encircled with bands of rectangular lignite cabochons, and steel chain leggings.

He's a proficient axedwarf, a competent shield user, an adequate armor user, a proficient discipline, a dabbling observer, a skilled fighter, an adequate wrestler, a competent striker, a skilled dodger, and a dabbling misc. object user, along with being a proficient organizer.

Does he sound like an okay militia commander for the second year?

Sounds good but why is he wearing a dress? 

[TechnoXan]

Good one, well played TheKaspa!  by the way what's that from?

Yes, I now realize the futility of my first response; there are over 4000 pond turtles alone in this region...

Still, I can't get over how silly the whole thing is; basically I now have a magic barrel that keeps filling up to the brim with turtles. Any map with enough water to fill up one square could have a fishery that draws in all the fish from the whole biome.

[utunnels]

The elven diplomat was locked in my refuse room, before he could say a word about trees.
Then I found their civ was called "The Pregnant Lakes".


He went nut and was killed.


One of the dwaven children from the Urist family began a mysterious construction using some zombie bones.


Asob `Dagger' Kelurrith, Dwarven Child has created Vumom Ostuk, a giant lion tamarin bone door!

Oh, not bad.

[Wondabarrapa]

I just bought a male and female cavy after reading a thread about live animal minecart shotguns. goblin wont know what hit em till its head gets caved in by a spinning cavy boar

[TheFlame52]

An FB made of fire showed up in hell, but it can't fly, so it's sitting patiently outside the Hell Bastion. Also, several dwarves fell while removing scaffolding and were injured, so they are now being treated by my two mediocre medical dwarves. Their idiocy is my medics' training.
