Sooo I understand the importance of rigorous hygiene standards in medicine but I just had a dwarf lie in bed dying of thirst and starvation because his broken toe- despite being set and stitched up had not been splashed with muddy water. Finally gave up on waiting for the spring and found a muddy puddle in the caverns to placate mr fastidious.

I've started quarantining my remaining cats against alcoholism to protect the cat population but I don't think I have a breeding population anymore.

Going to have to buy more cats from caravans

[Graknorke]

Could you not just lock the tavern door to pets?

[Tieranus]

About to find out if my old fort will play nice with the new version. Here's hoping.

The old fort is one set on the coast, with a nice deep moat around it, and it's made to be an aboveground Human-style town, which is now a Barony, I believe. Well-forested, and quarries for stone. Had a few bigger enemies show up, but no sieges yet.

[Untelligent]

A weregecko plague is causing my fortress to break out in a rash once a month.

Food productions are at an all time high, military is getting set up and goblins, cave orges and troglodytes are attacking me from all sides.
Also an awful lot of dwarves are becoming "Legendary ______" seemingly out of nowhere.

This is my best fort yet at just shy of three years of existance. But I can feel the !!FUN!! coming to destroy me, it is inevitable.

I've just stumbled upon an amazing embark.
Warm climate, shitloads of trees, no aquifer, plenty of neighbours, and there is an absolute abundance of fruit growing everywhere.
I'll have to wait and see what the metal situation is like... but I think Gatizmeng certainly shows a lot of promise.

Edit: What. I just had my first migrant wave, and all six dwarves were competent in a weapon skill (with novice in general combat).
I guess that's the foundations of my military sorted... won't have them start training yet, though, there's too much work to be done.
That is incredibly cool, though. That includes three swordsdwarves! I like swords!

Is anybody having ‼FUN‼ with the taverns (besides dead cats)? Right now I'm having a great big interspecies love fest and it's kind of bumming me out. There are a handful of goblins, dwarves, and humans and a gorlak hanging out in the tavern and the only arguments I've noted resulted in one human becoming enraged and then calming down having done nothing. I put on my race war t-shirt and dwarves #1 foam finger and now I feel ridiculous watching them have civil disagreements.

Taverns rock. The fights are allowing my doctor and nurses to train their skills pretty often.

Found a nice embark right on the river bank.
Nice looking mountain, a shitload of soil.

Aaaaand also ~50 animals in sight and most of them are hippos, alligators and crocodilles....

I sense some FUN incoming pretty soon.

EDIT : oh and many many carps ..... motherfuckers ..

Spoke too soon. There was a disagreement between a goblin and human poet then the goblin threw a punch, another goblin jumped in with him, and then three humans jumped in to defend the woman and turned it into a great big brawl. The humans are tougher and there's more of them but the gobbos have combat experience and they aren't afraid to get a little dirty. After round one there were some bruised up humans and two goblins passed out in a pile of their own teeth. Round two we'll call a draw because the goblins gave as good as they got, they were knocked out again but one of the humans was so badly torn up I thought he might die. Round three was decisive victory for the humans, one went down from exhaustion then got his nose smashed in, his ears cauliflowered, 3/4s of his teeth kicked out and his hand stomped to pulp. The other got a chunk clawed out of her face and before she passed out declared that the nearby poetry recital was arousing her. Vomit, blood and teeth litter the ground and the performers never stopped their recitals. Taverns rule.

I wish their were elf butcher immigrants and crafters, who due to their ethics should have no problem with butchering and making goods out of the bones and skin of sentients.  Then you could set up a huge tavern and hope for mangling and death from bar fights.

In addition, we could haul back the corpses of the fallen in battle and feast upon them for Armok!

I had some farmers fall into the volcano, after I forgot that bridges do not count as supports for floors, and tried to build a floor off of a bridge. It seems that building structures suspended over lava is best left to, at minimum, amateurs. However, it matters not, as we shall be able to survive with only our five valiant men. I hope...

Armok is pleased with our sacrifice!

It's... it's beautiful. :')

I can't wait to get my own tavern up and running once I get home from work this evening.
Was taking an annoyingly long time last night because I went with an above-ground structure and decided to do things all fancy-like with a multi-z-level ramp structure to simulate a more realistic-looking staircase... that on top of the usual above-ground building woes make it quite a chore to build. I could probably disable construction on my miners, carve out that appropriately-shaped hill over to the west and have a (much shittier but still) serviceable tavern ready before the main one, ha.
Maybe I should do that. Could always convert it to a barracks later.
