Lots of tower building and remodeling to incorporate open air barracks with 2 layer thick walls without compromising the basic panopticon design that was already designed and built. All this because I found out that the retracting bridges I built on the surface to act as a roof - even when raised, still mark the tiles beneath it as inside instead of outside, which makes the whole barracks on the surface business rather moot. Will have to redo the whole paving part for the surrounding area as well. Also, a child was born with a preference for long swords! Will be letting the runt have a go at weapon-smith apprenticeship as soon as she grows to be of age, though the preference for platinum worries me. Will removing all the platinum bars in the fortress via trade solve that issue when she moods? Cause I know forbidding them sure as hell doesn't work. Maybe I'll have access to candy by then which will override her preferences.

On top of all that, I've been busy testing and genning worlds for a succession fortress. I think I've got the formula down pat now, just need to go about the tedious business of finding and cataloging the sites.

Among other things I'm just noticing how many of dwarves have seemingly goblin names (Baso, Utes Dostngosp etc.). I first noticed it with my outpost liaison, because I thought he was a goblin, but he only had a goblin name. They have similarly goblinny last names as well. Of those with such names there seems to be a high percentage of those who "Dreams of ruling the world." It's also odd that these goblin-named can have two parents with perfectly dorfy names. Anybody have guess on how this happens. I haven't messed with Legends mode yet and don't really know how to make sense of the history of the world.

I just discovered that the slime that rains from the sky in Blazecook causes massive blisters/swelling/bleeding.

It is apparently resistible, but forgetting to take your entire military off "station" in an area where the stuff falls has some messy effects.

In Fortress mode, you can press "c" to see your civilization and so on. If you then select the civilization with "enter" you can scroll through all of the noble positions in that civ. That should be a start.

Be glad it isn't literal acid rain. I had to deal with that once, back in .34. 

[Loud Whispers]

Acid rain, some stay dry while others feel the pain.

While his choice of material is a bit suspect, my weaver is getting pretty good...



Worth 91 though, not too shabby!

Rescued abductees.

We "tamed" a thralled pet peachick, which wasn't actually owned by any of the migrants who arrived with it originally.


Out of curiosity, I released it from its cage, which resulted in a quick and amusing battle, resulting in a dog losing its teeth, and the peachick finding the sweet release of final death.

As for that naked female thralled woodcutter in the cage in our dining hall? Yep, she's still there. KEEPIN' THE ORIGINAL 7 TOGETHER!

Enemy had came and laid siege on my fort, but they are composed entirely of marksdwarves. Whom am I fighting here exactly?

Assuming an unmodded game, if the message was, in fact "The enemy have come and laid siege to your fort!", they are probably bandits.

Alternately, if the message had been "A vile force of darkness has arrived!" then they would be dwarfs that had been kidknapped and raised by goblins, and so were part of the goblin civ. (Yes, there are occasionally "goblin" sieges that don't contain any goblins.)

Welp, two of my dwarves have fallen in love right after embark. THere are only 3 dwarves left, so the last guy must feel like a bit of a third wheel, but he's friends with the hopefully soon-to-be bride, and they went through the beak dog massacre together, killing all of them, and have also seen off kobolds with knives. They're currently constructing the begginnings of a quick 1x1 fort, in order to get through to the caravans, which will be special.

I've modded caravans to be the only animals that can pull caravans.

wagons pulling wagons x_x

[NJW2000]

And what will pull them?

More wagons?

Nothing?

I have been slowing tweaking my ultimate WorldGen.  After ~10 cumulative rejections, I just created this beauty;

Literally every !FUN! geographic feature a Dwarf could possibly want, and with plenty of Civs to boot.  Admittedly this was created in Masterwork, so I'll have lots of civs anyways, but would still work equally well in vanilla.
