The undead rule the surface as I try to bait them into coming into my Maze of Death.  I killed a few of them but also some of my dwarfs have died.  I think I am going to run out of dwarfs before the undead leave or get wiped out by my Maze.

I think I may just dig down for water and resources and live underground for the rest of my settlement's life.

My fortress just repelled it’s first goblin siege. Would have been easy if not for the fact that the goblins were being lead by a frickin’ elephant demon! It was an epic fight! The demon killed six dorfs and crippled 3 more before the guard captain slew it with a well-placed spear thrust through the demon’s brain.

Seems like the elf problem was with a specific merchant. I was able to trade with the elves (crundle meat roasts for an instrument of the gods, seems like a sweet deal to me) despite my trader getting run off by one of them a couple of times. Then my military happened on the offending merchant, and I guess he won't be offending anymore. Still don't know what the deal was.

I've got a fort in an experiment world (destroying artifacts). We conquered the goblins by year 12, so now we've picked a fight with two elven civs. They sent a raid against my fortress of 8 dwarves.

Only really notable thing was that one of the raiders was a hammerdwarf riding a giant peach-faced lovebird. I also was under the impression that flight pathing was bugged with tame creatures, but one of my dwarves has a pet duck that flies about, and that hammerdwarf flew straight into the barracks during training (he didn't last long)

Hey there,
 I set out with a pretty modest ambition and wanted to share my progress. The embark site is one of my favorite types being that a river has a deep waterfall and it forks off. This makes it easy to dig a secondary trench and have a natural mote. The waterfall goes down about 13-14z levels. The world I created is a large one and has a high number of civs but with a low density. There are more beasts in the world which would make things fun. My group "The Armored Swords" set out and established their fort "The Black Anvil" in the year 125.

 One of my primary goals is to establish a giant eagle breeding system and train giant war eagles. (This was done via some modifications since its not possible in vanilla). They have personalities like cats and only they can choose whom they wish to bond with. I am hoping for some fun with this and a great story. (I also made new sound files and sprites for the giant war/hunting variants of the Giant Eagle. See attached photos).

The fortress itself is pretty bare bones at the moment but each floor was meticulously planned out prior to digging. I am currently streaming this playthrough on twitch if anyone is interested in tuning in then stop on by. https://www.twitch.tv/steampunkgears

According to Our Combat Log, an Axedwarf knocked a Minotaur unconscious by cutting off her Head.

We are... uncertain as to the Accuracy of this Report.

Well, was the minotaur conscious afterwards?

She was dead.  While it has been a while since We took Our First Aid course, We are quite confident in asserting that 'Dead' and 'Unconscious' are two distinct States of Being.

A forgotten beast (Dunanlebes Telular Milol, a towering one-eyed monkey with three long, spiral horns who squirms and fidgets) came into my caverns, wandered around, killing troglodytes and the like by pummeling them with his "large osprey leather chausse" and then left.

One of Our Weavers lost his right Arm from the Elbow down to a Titan.  He dutifully went the Hospital, where he was immediately declared fit for Duty.

We'd chalk this up to imperfect Training, but it's been a few Months and Nothing bad has come of it.

It's not like there's anything to be done for a missing limb.

One would expect the bloody Stump to at least require Bandaging!

First fort in 2 years, I got up to maybe 30 dorfs and had a military.  Go me.  A fire-breathing lobster emerged in the caverns and my dorfs had head-to-toe coverage in iron armor, so out they went.  The FB rolled over the military, into the fort, and Syrupoaks Got Rekt.  GG, F in the chat.  It was a nice welcome back, I have to admit.

Meanwhile, We discovered that Silver Hammers are effective against Bronze Colossi the interesting way.

Which was annoying, because We had been vaguely looking forward to finally losing a Fortress.

Our Dwarfs didn't even get hurt!  How does that even happen!  We haven't even put Armour on them yet!

About the first thing that happened in my new embark was a bunch of fire imps showed up and killed three of the starting seven and set a fire that burned down the whole embark over the course of a couple months, before escaping without a single casualty of their own and one of them with a new name.
