Oh, it's learning.

I wonder what would happen if/when the ol' Captain demands something that cannot be provided or has a masterwork of his is defaced, so that he finally snaps and goes berserk.   I think the founder killing off his own fort seems like a fitting end to the monumentous Nist Akath.

Perhaps the death and re-death of zombified friends should push him over the edge so that he goes on a murderous rampage, mistaking the living for the undead.  Purge.

I think the best possible end for Nist Akath is if it is ripped apart in civil war, with Captain and a few veterans one one side and all the others on the other side.

I can just imagine the Captain wallowing through dwarven mass as he seeks to reclaim the Tower for the Founders.

Give the Goblins some Miners, Sigeengines ansd a upgrade for their skills including heavy armour. By the way who is the actual Lord of the Goblins ?

[Bullion]

someone should paint a portrait for the cap'n.

it's sheer dwarfliness would overshadow everything.

The goblin king is dead. Nagash II shot him in the heart.

How is the speed of the game? Getting slower?

It does sound time for a tantrum spiral, the DF version of a zombie apocalypse.

Considerably. I believe its partially the number of rocks and items clogging the fortress that is to blame. I have no serious animal problem that would cause such a thing (thankfully).

Captain's Log. 1st of Hematite.
Work has commenced on the area dug out for the new barracks.
The soldiers say it is about 20 years overdue, and I can't blame them.
The new barracks will have separate sparring and sleeping quarters, as well as accommodating weapons, armor, ammunition, and target practice, all in different sections.

Probably the most important addition is the switch that seals access in the shaft between the upper levels, and the lower levels.
With so many warriors there, we can be confident that it shall go undisturbed.

Without the access provided by this switch, only the trade depot shall allow external access to the fortress, and this would be suicide for an intruder to attempt to access.
They wouldn't even make it to the room of mists before being shredded by the traps.

Captain's Log. 16th of Hematite.
Busy day.
The lass Solon Fairabres has taken control of a crafts workshop and run in search of ingredients for her masterpiece. I have to say, I didn't like the look in her eye. It seemed unnatural.

Then the humans arrived. Lots of them, too. I ordered a whole load of our 'quality goods' be dispatched to the depot, but I'm not sure if it will be enough.

I'm glad they arrived though, the booze has nearly run out.
We have a severe shortfall of barrels.

And lastly, the goblins arrived. Fortunately, they have brought with them the woefully inadequate firepower we have come to expect from them, and I dispatched our glorious troops to take care of the problem before the humans want to go and get slaughtered by the green little bastards.

About how many dead goblins do you have outside your fortress?

Do you mean total, or just this battle?

Events of the 24th of Hematite
"ACOLYTE!" a voice roared in her dreams.
She nearly woke from the intensity of it, but the voice of her God held her in slumber.
The acolyte found herself standing on a small floating platform of microcline, formed from the void of the dreamscape.
"Yes, my lord?" she asked the emptiness surrounding her.
"I have sent forth a symbol of leadership." replied the voice of her God, more softly this time.
"Would this be the scepter, Eraresrel, or 'Leaderqueen', as crafted by the Fairsabres lass?"
"It would, Acolyte. Your talents have allowed the creation of such items of power to be performed within that miserable fortress you live in. With those items I am certain to breach the walls of reality and come forth to claim my rightful place as God over this creation."
"Yes, my lord." said the Acolyte, bowing.
"The scepter is for you, should you continue to perform your duties as well as you have, grand titles await. That scepter shall, when the time comes, be your symbol for rulership in my name."
"That is... very generous, my lord!" replied the Acolyte, surprised.
"You are welcome, Acolyte."
"But lord, I can understand the image of dwarves traveling on it. That makes sense, given our history here. But why the image of a vest?"
"I like vests, Acolyte. You should wear one, it would please me greatly."
"Yes, my lord! Of course my lord!"
"GO FORTH AND DO MY BIDDING ONCE MORE, ACOLYTE!" boomed the voice of her God, receding back into the dreamscape, releasing her from slumber to awake in a cold sweat.
