That's pretty much what I was doing in Bastiongate, and I had 200 dwarves with 200-600 animals (mostly caged) and only 4 FPS. For most of 60 years.

The dwarfess Ushat Channeledsaint dehydrated to death. Thought she was recovered from injuries after being kicked out of the hospital, but was evidently too slow in crutch-walking to the booze.

Her husband Litast Zonbekom, unskilled as a metalsmith but fond of brass, crafted a brass statue in her honor. I didn't commission the image, just took what the hisfig generation gave me. I got a "crafted a masterpiece ☼brass statue of Ushat Channeledsaint☼ message and started to be impressed. Checked the description, it was commemorating her marriage... now I'm even more impressed, until I finished reading... her marriage to some other dude I'd never heard of, some Vabok Worthtorches.

So close, Litast, yet so far away. Let it go.

Had an interesting time watching Thikut, a 35 y/o miner born in Gravearmor... Discovering him in a cave lake below our excavations, I followed him as he swam, then climbed up a cliff to what I thought was safety.  He was struggling to breathe after bruising his lung from the fall, and ignored my attempts to give him a way out by opening passages in walls, building stairs, etc.  He was stuck in a loop, and jumping across open spaces going back and forth (I had to look up "airborne" status in the wiki).  Then he decided to go back down in the water, swam about 12 tiles across to another cliff, scaled it, then sat there catching his breath.  We're all good, right Thikut?  Nope!  He ran off again and jumped another open space only to stand there at a dead end for a while.  So I assigned him to one of the temporary training squads for miners, and he went merrily on his way to store his pick in a bin, then go to sleep.

While upgrading bedrooms, I found a certain Urist's leg on his bed.  He lost his leg years before in battle, and apparently he has kept it on his bed all those years.  He felt nothing after seeing a dead body 8 times last season, maybe those were the times he slept, and the sight of his leg doesn't bother him.

I didn't know crutch-walking could be so debilitating to movement speed. I guess I'll try to build an alcohol stockpile near the hospital of my forts. I think spreading out stockpiles seems like a good idea in general.

I generally build a well into my hospitals, which helps with this, but then you end up with the messy buggers leaving half-used bars of soap all over the floor surrounding the well.
If Tarn added the ability to slip on bars of soap, I'm sure the traction benches would never be empty.

Some goblins showed up to parley, but rather than wait for my response they immediately rushed into my fort to do battle.  Treacherous bastards!  Previously, I had used the time they took to wait for my response to lock them outside for the rest of the season.  They must have gotten savvy

It made no difference though; they met their ends on dwarven steel.

I finally finished the battlements on my walled outdoors area just in time for a goblin siege, which my new marksdwarf squad began tearing apart until the siegers got distracted by some rattlesnakes, which all of the survivors began to relentlessly hunt.

Using the military for moving dwarves is a pretty smart solution. It seems like a good trick to keep in mind.

I never noticed this before but people who wish to attend a meeting with the Leader will stand next to his bed while the Leader sleeps.  Waiting.  Watching. 

Dwarves are creepy....

[Eric Blank]

Dwarves have a very different understanding of socially appropriate behaviors. Almost to the point of not having any such considerations.

My dwarves have been busily conquering the zombie-infested continent I embarked on. It really started to pick up after i decided to just cheat and give them legendary skills and max stats and adamantine equipment. Turns out there's still a limit to the number of creatures they can fight in a given raid, however successful they are. So taking out the necromancer towers is taking a while, due to having, apparently, 2000 zombies in the last one. But after that, we'll see if their "civilization" gives up/is defeated and stops sending sieges and/or zombie raids.

lol just patiently waiting for their chance to cry on the expedition leader's shoulder. (: -.-zzz :)
