OGD.
A green glass spider is playing footsies with my fort, tying up soldiers in the first cavern as is dodges into and out of pathing to my fort. I assume its killing critters on the far bank we cant see.
Topside, we're doing major aesthetic construction, and thats tying up most of my haulers who arent putting bodies into tombs (or even digging the, if they're miners). The animal trainers are being slow about chaining up our captured cave crocs. The babbies need to flow, plz. At least we got an arena dug out and we're smoothing it slowly.
In the 3rd cavern Ive dug out an experiemental magma pump, as my first ever large-scal pump stack (over 10zlevels) Ive ever tried. We have packs of crundles constantly canceling jobs and then the civies wrestle them to death. The occasion giant critter comes by and thankfully have thus far fallen to my glass weapon traps. A Giant Fire Snake has just crawled out of the magma for my first fortress-mode test of the 20.000.000cm3 beast. It has an abysmall attack (tail slapping and biting with its fire teeth) but makes up for it with its size and ability to shake you to pieces. And its also hotter than magma, so . . .
So a relatively boring fort that considers itself lucky if it sees 3 bars of steel and 5 bars of iron a year is now turning into a slow grind of potential funzies.
