Holy Towers™! I can't even deal with one, let alone fucking SEVEN. At the moment I've been generating a lot of new worlds, trying to hammer in the old Aquifer Bypass Stratagem™. Went back to try my hand at a bit of vanilla 0.34 as well, to remind myself why I hate trees.

[Max™]

I've gotten 17 visible as neighbors before but it's hard to find ideal spots like that.

[FortunaDraken]

Woooow I kind of gave up on my last tower spot because the undead were being asses and I might've crashed the map out a bit by accidentally spawning magma instead of water one time, resulting in all the trees constantly falling over. But yeah I...don't know how to deal with one tower so kudos to you for having a way to deal with 7 XD

Major defensive engineering project. It has three phases; the outer wall, the ceiling over the outer wall, and a moat around the outer wall.

After at least two ingame years, the ceiling is done. Decided to drop the moat for now in favor of getting a water reservoir for an internal well. That'll stop my hospitalized dwarves from dying in the winter.

[Bakaridjan]

I'm making my most happy little fort ever. No massive defense projects (just a nice little box that gobos go into and never come out of), lots of marble pillars and fruit trees outside and that sort of thing. I cut my first stream through the courtyard with a nice little waterfall ending in a statue garden and the first thing the baroness consort does is goes and throws her baby in it and then drowns herself trying to get it out. I should have just killed the whole family off before that. They're not even barons of my fort. Why don't they ever try and emigrate to their own little fiefdom.

Actually that's another story, I can't get a baron because my mayor is a vampire whose locked up in cell, so she can't meet with the outpost liaison when he/she comes. The last liaison just stood on the map edge until a Roc spawned about 5 tiles away from her. The liaison was actually a mace dorf, but she didn't put it to very good use and got her head bit clean off. So, I guess, it's not all happy in this fort. Just wait until I try and make a forgotten beast zoo...

You can give someone else the mayor title in the nobles screen.

Afters years of playing Dwarf Fortress, I just today discovered Macros   I have been using QuickFort for quite some time now, but still.

Setting up an egg farm.

...how do I collect ONLY infertile eggs? :v

[Iliithid]

Don't pasture your males with your females? There's no way to otherwise.

the point is to get rid of the infertile eggs so fertile ones can be laid in their place. so that's stupid...

I look forward to AV being able to show magma on higher z-levels.



Two tiny sieges down, who knows how many to go. Three melted zombies and one elf merchant (the other left after I gave them some wooden crafts and siezed what I wanted) who got chucked by the bridge into the magma.

[FortunaDraken]

Mmm, bridge chucking into magma. One day I need to set up one of those.

My latest Fort had 15 people after two migration waves, around 5 of which were useless children. Wave 3 just rolled in and now I have FIFTY-ONE PEOPLE. I am not prepared DX

So many useless children too now....so many...

[Amperzand]

Honestly, it'd be nice if dorfs wouldn't bring their children to your fort unless you've stopped being a remote, poorly-defended outpost.

[Dutrius]

I've just noticed that I must have embarked in England.

It's been raining non stop for about a year now. My dwarves have stopped getting unhappy thoughts about it.
