[Wormser]

At voidspider, the elves sent their diplomat to complain of the tree-felling ways of the dwarves.  This caravan disappointed with some monkeys and cat-like creatures (Bobcat, Jackal, Ocelot).  After that one year with the rhinoceros, I'm disappointed in the elves.  They may get trade this year, but they might have problems if they disappoint again.

On another note, I've apparently got 600+ bars of lead at Voidspider, and don't know what to do with it!

Make crutches an splints out of them... I did. =^.^=

A truly dwarfy solution is to make barrels out of lead.

Or *snicker* toys for children.

Bonus points if the toy involves the child licking/swallowing it!

Hmm, I wonder If toady is adding pacifiers for kids in the next version?
Anyone wont some pacifiers, I make mine out of lead.

[Arx]

Lead pacifiers? Pitchblende is where it's at.

Do you have any place where you need to drop invaders from a great height? Lead flooring. Masses of lead minecarts have also their uses.

Or just put someone to stud stuff with it on repeat; that's what I usually do with excess useless materials. It doesn't add weight or clutter and trains your craftsdwarves further towards perfection.

Zombie siege. Fucked up on my estimation of pathing costs and basically let the entire siege waltz in and kill everyone. I had a chance to save a few by locking them up in the hospital, but then i got greedy and tried to save one more dwarf and a zombie got in there too.

At least I know what to fix for the reclaim.

That kid has made a crundle bone shield; while I'm disappointed he didn't use bones of more expensive creatures that I know damn well are lying around, I am glad that my commander now has a lightweight artifact shield. In other news, more animal babies are being born, and the trainers continue to procrastinate training them.

Lead pacifiers? Pitchblende is where it's at.

Make wind instruments and give them as gifts to the elves.

Buckets and mugs is where it's at! Or paving your cistern. But you have far too much lead, sacrifice it to armok; toss 'er in the magma.
Moving on from deliberate brain damage, my fort is in a messy situation after my very fast built cistern leaked all over the shop. The general mood of the fort is borderline madness. First I've played with the new mood system. The sight of corpses bothers everyone a lot. Elves with beards! Let them go mad.
The strong shall survive.

Thanks to one of my Axe Lords not listening to that small inner voice (me) telling him to station with the others behind the 3rd Cavern doors he went one-on-one with a fire-shooting crab Forgotten Beast. I kept advancing it in small increments and then checking the reports. It was a pretty epic battle with lots of limbs being hacked off and a good 6x6 patch of chitin smear everywhere. It went for a page an half of reports, but the Axe Lord never got hit once and finished him off before the rest of the squad arrived. After vanquishing such a mighty foe single-handedly what's he thinking?...

I choked on smoke underground, that's so annoying!

I saw a gif somewhere around these forums earlier that would perfectly express both how heinous I find that and how much I approve of it, but it would be too troublesome to find it.

Anyhow, I have all the glass tubes and glass corkscrews I need for my great magma pump stack, but still feel like procrastinating its construction, so I've decided that the blocks used in its construction will be glass too. Question: will a pump stack still work if it is the top pump that's hooked up to a bunch of waterwheels instead of the bottom? I'd rather use my brook on the surface than create a dwarven water reactor at the bottom.

Also, how effective are large serrated discs when they are made of glass?

I have the first dwarf I've ever seen wielding a pike, and it turns out she's one hell of a vampire:

[SirAero8]

Been trying to start a war with the elves for a long time, killed 3 different groups of elf merchants, and no war. Finally, in the most recent group of elf merchants, one out of the five elves escaped. Hopefully that elf will be the spark for a war. Out of boredom, I flooded the lower caves with lava and killed a few dwarves in the process. Somehow, through the lava flooding my dwarves discovered adamantine. Worth a few dwarves to get it. Now starting a mission to get miners down there without risk of a lava-ey death. If the elves come to attack, my dwarves will be ready in adamantine.

Yes, pumpstacks will work with a power source attached to the top rather than the bottom. As long as a source of power is attached to any of the pumps and all other pumps are attached to that pump, the whole thing will have power.

Serrated glass discs are a great cheap method of blending anything made of meat and poorly armored, like goblins.
