I'm not sure I have enough drinks yet....hmmmm...

According to the wiki, a dwarf drinks about every 20 days.
So your drink storage can survive about 2 years at best (depends on how many babies you have).

That would explain the dwarves but not the animals... they died the same way. Looks like one half-melted yak cow might survive after all; its bleeding has stopped and it's now grazing skinless and fatless outside the entrance. Maybe it'll scare the wicked vapor husks away.

Was it raining?  There used to be a bug where hot biomes got superheated rain.  It caused melting dwarves, exploding slugmen, and such.

We have about a dozen I think.  Plus the broker who acts like a baby. 

Oh, and one of the children is now 12 years old and still a child.  I thought Dwarfs became adults at 12?

And two more things:
A VERY nice statue....but I wish they had kept the adamantine for something ELSE.


And wagons.


Poor, poor wagons.

My Duchess needed an opulent throne room, so I built a long square hall with large smooth pillars and put a huge Iron Throne at the end of it. Satisfying

(Just need to cage some Dragons now. I do have a fire-breathing giant bull. Mother of Bulls?)

Also, 98 children? You need some birth control.

Bastiongate has been struck with a crash-on-load bug. It is a sad day.

Do you have any backups of it?

[TheFlame52]

Yes, but it's about a year old and I retired in it. I'd really rather not have to unretire it, since when I tried all my delicious captives escaped their cages and fought each other, along with a host of other problems. I posted it to Mantis just in case someone can figure it out.

[Jorn Stones]

decided to retire my ongoing fort for a little bit an do some experimentation and playing around in the world..

Now, I stumbled upon the camp of the previous expedition or perhaps refugees from a fallen fort... all dwarves, most with 'noble' ranks like expedition leader, warlord, chief medical, broker, manager, hammerer.. and they immidiately ran for my wagon and haven't left since, all showing up as 'visitor' and started gaining relationship statusses with my dwarves..

I gathered some food, channelled and deramped a little area to block access, and now have all the dwarves and the visitors merrymaking in a small cave in the hopes that a citizen-visitor marriage will eventually come to be...

All immigrants that come in from this point will happily spend their (final) days cosily together around the visitor's campfire or inside their tent(which despite having a roof counts as outside and makes me unable to build beds in it..)

Yes, actually it was raining at the moment... so that's it. I'll have to watch out for ordinary rain as well as evil weather on this map.

I still don't know why the one dwarf survived and why the subsequent rains haven't had similar effect. Maybe there was especially hot weather at the moment of embark.

[NJW2000]

Just found out from a masterwork statue of goblins that the first seige I ever had, in which I lost 6 dwarves, gained a crippled guard captain and three heroes, that it was called "Etosp Snos", "The Seige of Rampage".

Hell yeah!

Aww man! I was really enjoying Bastiongate! We'll I still can't wait until the next one.

[Inevitability]

Never kiss a dwarf.

Wait... How does that goblin talk without his tongue?

[conein]

A weremouse came in THE ONLY FUCKING MOMENT and IN THE ONLY FUCKING ANGLE where i sent someone far from the fortress' walls. He managed to strangle 2 people :c

[MehMuffin]

I'm having trouble getting my dwarves to use my beautiful large pots. For some reason my food is just lying without containers in the stockpile while the pots clutter up the workshops? Anyone have any ideas?
