That just means they have more than 3 paths.

[Taupe]

The only unclaimed dwarf is a five year old girl.

Hey, you should always have one as an advisor!

Though I believe we've already done the "child goes around suggesting to adults what to do" in previous forts.

it looks like the first building-destroyer to appear on the surface will have a straight shot at more than one hatch cover that's accessible from ground level, and thereby a straight shot into the fort.

This is correct. Actually, when I checked it before Archereon's turn they were unforbidden as well, so all the undead also had a path.

Change the kid's title to ''Masterplan Proofreader''

Fun fact, with no dorfing orders specificed, I made the master an 8 year old girl. That said, by the time his term as overseer comes, she'll be like 15 or so (assuming she lives that long.)

assuming she lives that long

pfffffffffHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA EXPECTING TO LIVE MORE THAN A YEAR IN A BATTLEFAILED FORT

You've been alive since year one IIRC.

[Eric Blank]

Can confirm, flame is still alive. Speciesunk0wn is not. He is very very dead.

But all the nefarious husks and zombies have been captured and visitors have been getting in successfully. A migrant wave arrived and they all died, but I hadn't caught the husks yet by then.

[TheFlame52]

The only reason I am alive is because I specifically saved my dwarf when The Titan got in.

What did he die from? Any more notable deaths btw?

[Eric Blank]

a husk walked in as he was walking out. My bad on that. No other deaths that anyone cares about. A second wave of migrants made it inside as well, so we've got a handful of new recruits for the meat grinder. Thank god they all got in before the next batch of nefarious fog appeared right on top of the entry hatch.

Any progress on getting necromancers to drink?

[Eric Blank]

We actually have no alcohol at the moment. The non-necromancers are drinking water, unfortunately. Working on that...

Year 304, Spring: I am unsure whether the good Poet who was somehow elected overseer (a long story in and of itself) has a death wish, but there are few places more perilous than standing between a dwarf and their liquour. Not that any of them strictly need to drink anymore, but a rather dark mood had hung over the fortress ever since it was announced that the wine stores had run dry...

[Eric Blank]

...Need I point out that the wine stores would never have run out if the previous overseers had bothered to brew enough alcohol to keep up with demand?

When I started I actually noticed in the stocks screen that we had only 20-40 drinks and checked to make sure someone was working on that... And indeed they were, so I left them to it. Six months later, there's nothing. Wed been bled dry and the brewer had given up work on it for some unknown reason. I only noticed because I got an announcement saying someone couldn't give another water because there was no water source. A lot of such announcements.

Also, I found a room full of one expansive pool of various sorts of booze. A variable booze lake. None of it was in barrels, just spilled on the floor, and thus dwarves couldn't use it. I'm guessing that was the premier booze stockpile and it just felt like not existing anymore or something.

Agriculturally were in a tough spot indeed; we don't have enough dwarves working the fields, brewery, kitchens, and were out of seeds. I got some from the dwarven caravan now, actually. Years mostly up and I'm just trying to prevent the fort from flopping on its face because most basic services aren't set up properly or so far apart getting items from stockpile to workshop to stockpile takes a friggin week.

[Archereon]

Yeah, a big part of my turn was an effort to consolidate the fortress down to the lower depths, farming included. Unfortunately I was only about a quarter of the way done when my turn ended.


Sounds like you're doing a great job as overseer btw, getting a caravan in bodes extremely well for the future of the fortress, relatively speaking.

It's still a madhouse run by madmen, but it's a madhouse filled to the brim with priceless treasures for the taking for those who are sufficiently bold, desperate, or insane to come here.

[Fleeting Frames]

Eh....with trade and migrants and interesting library it sounds like a pleasant place to live actually. Terrible weather, though.
