Hmm. So I delayed the meeting for a while by locking the mayor in his room. The mayor, who is in the military, eventually got called to training. I let him out, thinking that his training would prevent the meeting. It didn't. Fortunately, this time I was able to deny it without the game crashing. I kept a copy of the original save file I loaded today, so I'll be able to report this bug.

This immediately caused everyone who was part of the heist crew to leave the fort as they were hanging around in the tavern, singing songs and dancing. Shortly after the first one got off-map, he was caught sneaking around the entrance, just like last time. I decided not to attack him, but the soldiers at the gate did so anyway. Of course, he got torn to shreds.

Then, all of the heist crew members who were still on their way towards the map edge became hostile and started attacking dwarves. This seems to imply that the skirmish that erupted earlier was not a loyalty bug. The reason I thought so is because a long, long time ago, I was messing around with dfhack, and I caused my parent civ to siege my fort. Immediately when those guys entered the map, *everyone* in the fort started attacking each other. This time, I figured that attacking a fellow Dwarf, who presumably happened to be a part of my civ, caused the same thing to happen.

But now I think that the heist "turned loud" when one of them got attacked by the authorities, and all of the other crew members became violent as an intended part of the plan.

I'll see if I can't kill all of them, and if that won't be enough to stop more thieves from coming for it.

The meeting guy also mentioned the name of the person who sent him, so if I fail to protect my artifact, maybe one day I will retire the fort, and steal it for myself in adventure mode. It's a frilly pig tail skirt, so my femboy adventurer will look great.

Sounds like a lot of fun, outside of the crashing part. Have you tried arresting and interrogating the speardwarf thief?

I started a new world hoping to make a community story out of it. I had crafted this nice narrative or whatever, but that all got thrown out of the window when the "-1000" max temp i had in the advanced world gen parameters apparently will render dwarves frostbitten within seconds. my starting seven became my starting two because the only people who got out of the cold fast enough were my miners and one cat. unfortunately, the third miner sealed himself out, went out into the cold, and died after a few seconds. the cold is so intense that their bodies disintegrate or something because even the corpses disappear in the snow. I thought it was a bug, but the wagon, the wood, plants, food, drinks, cloth, literally everything disappeared once I unpaused. I have two miners with no food or alcohol. The frostbiting process is kinda cool, it starts with their teeth and their bones, then their body parts get mangled beyond recognition, followed by swift death and erasure.

Edit: amazingly enough, the extreme cold will wear away clothing your dwarves are wearing, with the socks and shoes being the first to go

Sounds like it's well below the low temperature damage threshold for all materials. Might I suggest a minimum temp of -50?

[aSpatula66]

A minimum temp of 0 is enough to cause frostbite to unclothed creatures in the polar regions, even -50 is extreme.

[anewaname]

Wiki shows indicates that world gen temperatures of -656 equals 0 degrees kelvin.

Thank you, good people. I thought the -1000 to 1000 temperature scale for worldgen was relative (i dont know why i thought that). I will use that chart to remake the world. Goshdarn, it's a shame that one has to go to the trash bin because it's history had 2 different Ages of Death. oh well

I'm kind of impressed.  I've sent out starting teams into terrifying biomes with thralling rains and stuff like that, but I never considered sending them out into an environment colder than the vacuum of empty intergalactic space.  Congratulations!

Makes me wonder if the game is even playable with 1000 dwarves.

I hope to find out...

In my newest fortress, which is located on a volcano where a beaten up magma crab came out, the expedition leader has 3 lovers within the first year.

Possibly name him/her Randy/Randi 

[Crystalizedmire]

In the very same fortress, a goblin criminal (who visited the fortress before) came back under a different alias(or was using a alias last time and showed up with his actual name). The only reason I knew was because he still had his memories of visiting the fortress.
Edit: And the goblin criminal's aunt also came to visit the fortress. Wow, this really is a small world.

Finally playing seriously for the first time since the Steam release. So far I've made 3 forts.

The first died to agitated wildlife. To be fair, it didnt die to them, as much as that being the kickstart of a downward spiral.

The second fell to a werebeast awakening in the tavern. I've since decided to turn off werebeasts, since I don't find their brand of !!fun!! to mesh with how I like to play.

The third didn't fall, but just kinda grew dull. I had a sick Giant Buzzard breeding operation going, but I wanted to start on modding work again. I could go back to it, but, I've already got my eyes on another idea.
