Decided to get back into DF since my internet is kill... Embarked on a random tile because I couldn't remember what my old favourite site used to be. First thing that happens? A hydra pops out of the cave beside the wagon and kills everyone but the guy chasing a dog chasing an alligator trying to pasture it... A little welcome back from DF?

The best, no only way to start fortress mode after a long absence.

[Fleeting Frames]

Oh man I remember hearing stories about forts like that. Some pretty amusing hermit fun.

I actually laughed aloud   Welcome back mate.

[StagnantSoul]

Hmm... One hour of gameplay and everyone's not tracking vomit and walnuts everywhere? YAY!

"The Stray Water Buffalo Bull (tame) has been missing for a week."

That message was surprising, because to my knowledge the fort didn't have any water buffaloes. I searched for a corpse and found it outside...

...in a cage...
...on back of another Water Buffalo Bull...
...in a tree.

Looks like the last Elven caravan become yet another victim of explosive tree growth. Roughcopper is truly dangerous place for traders... hope their profits are worth it.

Where are you a forest?

Because I had the same issue with my only gem cutter and a cedar tree. The genius gem cutter will soon be buried in a wooden casket in the hall of dog pus.

So I check back on this game after a lot of time, download the latest version, and now I apparently rule the Kingdom of Toilet Paper

Yes, a Joyous Wilds forest biome. After 18 game years trees are growing so thick there is absolutely no wagon access through them besides few constructed roads.

That's why I am clear cutting the trees. I am in a tropical forest.

Not helped by the river that is just shallow enough for some bright guys to try to swim across.

Got back into the game. Lost half my fortress (Including my Goblin Ranger. Really need to dive into Legends and see what the deal with that guy was...) to a Weretortoise. Fortunately, only one Dwarf was infected and lived before the Weretortoise turned back into an Owlman and flew away.

That Dorf is currently contained after I turned a guard tower into an impromptu prison-box. After I realised he always transforms before dying of thirst, I'm building a new containment area that is outside the fortress and has a bridge to lock him in or release him at will.

Bring on the next Goblin Seige

EDIT: Aaaaand the Goblin Seige arrives. It's a single Goblin. Not even worth it.
EDIT 2: Yay Necromancy and Zombies! Now we're talking!
EDIT 3: Crap! Zombie Weretortoise!

[Fleeting Frames]

EDIT 3: Crap! Zombie Weretortoise!

Wonder if they still behave like non-DF hydras? I think not, but...

After some serious problems with infected guests and the wereelephant infection goin' round, I ended up building a new tavern on top of the volcano and sending everyone but three dwarves on a toasty little voyage to the center of the earth. Luckily, of the three dwarves I had locked outside because one of them was a were I had forgotten about, a giant polar bear killed the were and another, leaving it so that I could let in the last random guy (a useless peasant) so now I have four dwarves full time dumping corpses into the magma moat. Good times.

From now on the floor of the tavern is going to be entirely covered in saw blade weapon traps, pending further motherfucking werebeasts.

[Fleeting Frames]

Werebeasts are trapavoid, so that will just likely result in your dwarves dodging into sawblades and growing up to become a salsa.

That sounds good too. It's letting me train my giant polar bear for war so I think I'll see about getting a breeding pair and chaining up bears, uh, everywhere.

Aged Angels isn't doing so well... We first lost our anvil to a kobold in the first month of the second year, just when I decided it was time to get all the iron I've gotten ready turned into weapons and arms... Then, a pair of hippos decided to sleep in the water next to my farm, and every time someone came by to collect, they'd hop out and chase them. The kobolds came back, this time there was two of them. They took the anvil I just bought off the humans. The other one took the -iron longsword- I'd bought to help train my one proficient swordsdwarf who came in. Hoping they don't come back at me swinging that sword. Definitely moving my communal stockpile underground now, and pasturing the dogs over the ramp.
