There is only a tiny amount of water in the caverns below the badlands. This entails a water-shortage as dwarves struggle to get from the magmaforges to the well in order to drink. This would be less of a problem if there was more alcohol, but production has hit a bottleneck since containers cannot be made fast enough.

Stone pots are your friiieeends. When in doubt, build more craftdwarf workshops, assign anyone not doing important stuff to stonecrafting, and disable their hauling labors.

That's exactly how I managed to fix it, haha - I rerouted labor to crank out garbage-quality pots and jugs. Booze production skyrocketed and suddenly i had 200+ units of alcohol. Then folks got drunk and started punching eachothers' brains out at the tavern. Which caused more deaths than the dehydration, but fuck it, progress was made.

Well, I retired a nerubian fort, and I think I managed to somewhat resurrect the dead civ - my spiderlord had become the new king. Unfortunately some people died due to me opening the caverns too early and having ghouls and eliminators pathing into my fort - the fort only counts 11 people and there werent any babies either.

What was...odd...is that some merchants from my civ showed up. No liasion, obviously, but the merchants and their guards still showed up.

But what was even stranger is that upon them leaving, their wagon left as normal, but the mounted merchants and their guards went into the caverns and off the edge of my vision there.

One season has passed and the forgotten beast is wandering aimlessly in the caverns. It killed every troglodyte it could find. When all of a sudden the combat log updates and a troglodyte named Eliranethale and the enormous salamander are in battle. The fight ended quickly with the troglodyte being victorious.

Crap. I think we have a bigger problem now but it got knocked unconscious by the frozen extract and it is pretty banged up. Lets hope the military can handle this.

A human poet couldn't handle his booze and started beating up other patrons at the tavern so I decided to let the militia "pacify" him. My militia commander Meng Goldenhoist answered the call and quickly resolved the situation with a spear thrust through the uppity poet's head. Immediately after that he started reciting poetry from top of the poet's cooling corpse. It's so... so fitting. I can't believe it.

I'm sorely disappointed in the lack of invaders coming after my kobold camp. :V

OK, since this guy killed a FB with nothing but his bare hands, I inscribed a slab for him.

I've figured out what the forgotten beast blood covering my caverns does! It's just makes whoever touches it fall asleep!
So it means my dwarves are pretty safe from cavern creatures as long as they wear shoes, because whatever attacks them will end up falling asleep as it chases them.

I never saw any goblin wearing mailshirt.

Did he just beserker trance and kill a hammer dwarf??  Oops.

My fortress just jumped up from a barony to a duchy. I guess you don't need to ever become a county?
Looking at the (c)iv screen, I have the only duchy in my kingdom. Ha! Take that 30 barons!

"There is no room for mercy in this world" - My militia commander/duke consort, while killing unarmed goblin recruits.
"It was raining on me. I'm very grouchy." - A giantess, right after killing a dog in one attack.

So I have been trying to train war dogs to boost my military in case I get invaded any time soon because I have been pumping tons of silver bars into crafts and it nearly doubled my created wealth to 800,000 but I can't seem to figure it out. I looked at the wiki page and I have an animal trainer, some dogs including a hunting dog, and a zone set for animal training. I try to assign one of the dogs to the trainer or military but it says there are no available animals. What am I doing wrong?

Did you build kennels?

[ZM5]

Aren't kennels only for small animals though?

He was leading the goblin actually. Didn't check legends.
