Had a 1x1 embark, really starting to like those lately. Secured the surface in a way I'd never done before, so much logic and structure to this fort.

Getting a bit greedy with making a large multi-z-level pit inside the fort, channeling layers and a collapse happens. One of my miners has both her legs and her left arm smashed into an unrecognizable mass, amazingly she doesn't bleed out.

In exasperation of too many migrants (think I'm going to start to use population caps and slowly increase them) I just decide to go wild and have the expedition leader pump water and flood the fortress from the nearby brook.

What did I learn? No amount of walls can save a fortress from the dwarves inside it, or that monkey pressing the keys and calling the shots.

Congratulations. You have discovered wagon poison.

In all seriousness, I'd guess the despairing animals ran off, kicking the wagons to smithereens in the process.

This makes sense. The horse that remained on screen was despairing, as was the one guard.

It's still nothing compared to an unexpected incident in Masterwork.

"The wagon looks pale and sickly!"

Yes, a wagon had caught the flu.

Does the flu do anything to wagons other than being a funny mental image?

Anything that contracts it can spread it around. I think that feature was removed in latter version of Masterwork.

I sent a squad to conquer a goblin site. I didn't realize my baroness was in that squad.
Now I wonder if I ever get another nobel.

Wonder if this is how RIP Wagan came to be

I recently started a fort, and I found something baffling.

This is despite the fact that this fort is less than a year old.
Then I checked his status screen. The following is a condensed version, produced by taking a screenshot, then painstakingly stitching relevant info together.

Spoiler: Image too wide to not spoiler (click to show/hide)

(for the sake of brevity, I've edited "broker" and "expedition leader" together. Everything else is pretty much verbatim. it is also worth pointing out that "and" was taken from somewhere else, then recolored to match the rest of the text)

There's something going on here.
Pay attention to "The Doors of Crowding" and "Satdomas". The former is the site government of my old fort, Figurechanneled. The latter is the Dwarven name of my current fort. Its English translation is "Strokeguilds"

This is an image showing that the only way for him to get here would be teleportation or nonexistent boats. Same process, took 2 screenshots, stitched together the useful bits.

Does the game have a tendency to teleport in dwarves from old forts during the 2 hardcoded migration waves? I swear, I wasted way too much time on both of those pictures.

[Splint]

There's always a chance old fort staff will move out to where you set up a new fort at in the same world, even if you'd prefer they stay at the old fort.

[methylatedspirit]

Since I'm technically at war with goblins, does that mean that goblins will find a way to invade, despite the ocean separating my fort and the goblins?

[Splint]

Nope, the island locale makes you inaccessible to thier armies. They'll probably lay waste to your homeland though.

Recent siege clean-up is starting to make morale tank. I think I need to set up a party burrow or something.

"Id McUrist, Macedwarf is visiting." Along with 5 others. Thought would be a party so I went to check.
He is dead at the edge of the map (just wilderness in the map). The reports show nothing. WHATA HELL.

Also, lots of adventurers come to my fortress seeking necroobey, a legendary pig tail cloak. I've sent the squad of my militia commander to retrieve it. Oh my, can't create new squads and he is not returning (two months now)...

[Dunamisdeos]

Two things, either he died from an injury sustained en route, or...

Stealth weremammoths.

Or he dropped dead from old age, if there's no blood smeared everywhere.

Well yes, but if it was at the literal edge of the map it would also have to be effectively en-route.
