It isn't Modded Hell if there isn't at least one thing that doesn't make sense.

Seems like you had some fun down there, the caverns probably will have all sorts of more fun.

Madd was excited, he had all kinds of ideas for things to design, but first he had to learn and talk to Imic. As he walks down the hall his mind raced with images of guard towers, of tunnel networks, of bridges of grandiose defenses with walls stretching tall, of great forges fueled by the fires of the earth, and of menacing spikes of meat.

    I had an uncle, in another fort, and he was installing cage traps in the caverns shortly after they were breeched.  Still doing the first one he was attacked by an undead cave crocodile which ripped off one of his arms.  Uncle said he didn't remember much about the next few minutes, but others said he went berserk, ripped the cave crocodile apart and stomped on its head, then fell over faint.  A few minutes later he woke, shook off the dust and finished the cage trap before reporting to the hospital.
     Must be a family tradition........

Oh, I forgot to ask:
A. Scourge do you want a new koopa sometime
B. Anyone have any idea what kind of ammo a wagon gun takes?

Also, Enemy Post is still alive. He's become more of a fisher/doctor than hunter though, I'm thinking I might get him to give up fishing so he can focus on hunting, because there's about 11 giant magpies flying around that could be made integrated into the tower.

[TheRedwolf]

Try looking through the weapon RAWs.   Also, I am so relieved that I made something useful.

[Enemy post]

I wouldn't mind giving up WEAK and UNIMPORTANT jobs to do more hunting.

Should DFhack be used so that SetII is married to Eris once again?

[Aurum System]

According to the raws in the save, it's grapeshot cartridges.

((Yes I would like a new koopa))

[MottledPetrel]

Now, to see if the koopa's can even make grapeshot...

[Aurum System]

They should be able to from what I saw, but that doesn't mean it works and you can.

It should be in the forge list, but that's about a mile long probably. :V

[MottledPetrel]

I'm going to have to look back into the black powder armory mod, because my experience with that is that anything gunpowder based is reaaaally complicated to make. As far as I know now, to make a gunpowder based ammunition you have to get the three components of gunpowder (charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter) in whatever form they most closely exist in dwarf fortress, smelt that, refine the resulting product into a bag, make a casing of some kind, forge the actual bullet, and then slap those all together to get maybe a handful of shots. Of course, I'd never be able to make that enough grapeshot for active wagon gun training, but I could give TheRedWolf enough ammo to carry around that when he gets into an actual fight he can use it.

Also, there will most likely be an update this weekend, but I thought I might try something extra. I was thinking about making an artistic portrayal of one scene or more in the fort that I've particularly enjoyed, would any of you be interested in a shorter update to allow for such a picture to be made? If so, I'm open to suggestions on exactly what to make, but if not I'll focus on making a long update or two and then save the pictures for the eventual interactive illustrated koopa story I'm going to pull after the fort falls.

[stingpie]

Sounds interesting, I'm all for whatever you want to draw.

[MottledPetrel]

Thought I'd give a little bit of a sneak peak:

Update tomorrow.
