One of my human mercenary soldiers just became the new Lady of her civilization.

I guess the humans are under my militia captain's command now 



I guess I should change her name. That's how much I usually care about gender when naming my mercenaries 

[Amperzand]

At least Mab is already a queen's name.

[Random_Dragon]

I had that happen to the first merc I got. Though as he was a lord consort to begin with, I should've expected that.

And I had one of my dorfs inherit the position of baroness. Had to hastily give her the opulent trappings I gave the mayor (expecting to appoint the mayor as baron later on) and make new quarters for him.

Up until the mayor banned exporting of earrings, at which point I went full dictator and appointed the baroness as mayor.

Fellhex finally encountered a threat capable of causing it serious problems.  Routine cleanup of a human siege was complicated when I discovered that one of my rastav mercenaries is a berserker.  The scent of the Green Rage on his breath drove half the squad into the same frenzy, and they fell upon each other with fang and claw.  This either started a loyalty cascade, or uncovered old enmities between some of my visitors, and another rastav mercenary got into a fight with several of my bards and such.  When he started chopping up my newly acquired legendary weaponsmith, I decided to retire Fellhex and let things calm down a bit.  I've been wanting to test how my playable goblin civ works in the new version anyway, so the Heavy Spikes of the Rare Threat founded Spearclose.  Strike the earth!

[Tygroux]

except for the second in command, who single-handedly murderstabbed the thing to death

Oh crap. He was actually bitten, and lost both his arms to the poison. He's still very valuable at teaching dodging and a good leader though, I hesitate at retiring him yet. Probably will leave him as permanent leader of the trainee squad.

On the other side, huge migrant wave jumpstarted the fort back on track. Even a few half competent sods in the bunch.

.....lost both his arms to the poison. He's still very valuable at teaching dodging

that's the true dwarven spirit there

I love how the new visitors add life to the world.

In the second year of my fort, a weresheep killed a visiting human archer. She's buried in my fort.
Now, 10 years later, I have a mercenary petition for residency.
After accepting, I look in his relations screen.

It's the killed archer's younger brother.

Perhaps he desires some form of vengeance against weresheep kind.

I just had a forgotten beast invade, conveniently get distracted and kill a goose while my army assembled, and then kill 2 dwarfs without taking a scratch.. then all of a sudden it turned into a goblin and ran away.

[Romeofalling]

Huh. Looks like our civilization is at war with the Elves now. So much for my hopes of getting a mating pair of Giant Leopards.

Playing around with minecarts for the first time. trying to step up a repeater to power my danger room, using a simple 7x8 loop with one impulse ramp and a Track Stop to control speed.

Nearly have my clifftop moat and hospital water supply set up. Of course, the steam froze just as I was about to pull the lever, so now I'm worried that the entire water supply will freeze over. Not that it seems to matter -- it's nearly year 3 and not even a kobold has come sniffing around. I'm a wee confused, the embark screen said there were goblins, kobolds and a Tower nearby....

Oh, and this map is completely gold-heavy, so I'm furnishing all the rooms in gold. Trying to organize my stockpiles so my that all the gold furniture gets decorated. This is proving surprisingly difficult.

I think you meant werebeast... forgotten beasts are much more !!fun!!

[Beeskee]

Possibly. It all happened so fast. O.o;

[Random_Dragon]

I think you meant werebeast... forgotten beasts are much more !!fun!!

Were-forgotten-beasts would be the most Fun threat ever.

Try Were-elephants, Were-turtles or were-badgers.

[Random_Dragon]

Try Were-elephants, Were-turtles or were-badgers.

Ah, but are they made out of rock? Do they shoot web? Do they emit pure Fun in gaseous form?
