Really? The latest news is that several/many years ago someone was kidnapped? I guess news travel incredibly slow in this game.

And of course obligatory

That usually only happens if you don't talk to the liaison for multiple years. The news builds up, you see.

That dang demon guilt... It always haunts me.

You just lost a fortress, right?

[KillerHP]

Flooded a part underground of my fortress accidentaly , only wanted to get water to the well.The only things that really went good is that my fortress flooding system is working , im not gonna pull that lever by accident.NEVER.Anyway , for the flooding , i sealed off the part that were needed : safe room , metalsmithing workshops(wood furnaces , smelter and the forge), hospital and the bookeeper office.I still use that part for getting metal and stone(sealed part is really big )

Played four hours, finished 3z high wall and a moat. Frustrating job as hell. Then the winter comes. And game crashes. All saves crash when the winter comes.

Now I feel like punching someone, maybe even toppling some furniture.

Patience, friend. Just take it as another bit of Fun; it's all good, enjoy the tedium.


I'm currently trying to mine some candy that's sitting on top of a lava flow. The water+stairs method is excruciatingly exquisitely slow and tedious, and I somehow managed to flood a lower level within the semi-molten rock which I now have to drain somehow. Good times.

Fortress of Axehole was founded. Aquifer pierced, both hematite and bituminous coal located in upper layers by summer. A single white jade cluster was unearthed. And only one accident in preparing the aquifer plug; I forgot to channel out beneath the first one. A whole month and a half wasted! Stoneworker nearly drowned because he wouldnt fucking climb up the ramps, but hey. Free swimming experience. I'll build a swimming pool, even, and mandate swimming lessons for all adults!

Between the fruit trees and shrubs available, I'll hardly want for fresh produce or alcohol. An aquifer, of course, means endless water.

This is a good spot. And only two goblin civilizations and carp men to content with.

Fort is on year 27.  Population up to 93.  Currently trying to extirpate crundles.  DFHack tells me there are only 417 left to go.

In the DFHack console, type "exterminate crundle".

Then, suddenly, 417 becomes 0.

Yeah, I could do that, but it's honestly more fun to catch them in traps and throw them into the magma disposal pit.  The pit is 6 z from top to magma, yet the smoke sometimes reaches the floor.

Rather than exterminating the crundles, why not just tame them and eat their eggs before sending them to shred goblins in an arena for entertainment?

Because crundles have no multiplier and one of my goals is to feed my dwarves good, non-crundle food to the best of my ability.

I only have 93 dwarves and no migrants, and almost 150 cave crocs in the event I, for whatever reason, urgently need eggs.  No, crundles simply need to die, in magma.

My attempt in cleaning up the moat ends up resulting in the creation of a water tank instead.

Now, to hoard all the booze and enact a fortress-wide prohibition for extra fun.

Planning gigantic actacombs for "The crypt of infamy" group name. And now the elven caravan has arrived. So thing have come to this. It shall be dwarven.
