Most recent ones all work.

I'll also note a few things:
Nist Akath has around 17000 engravings.
Ironblood only shows as having a handful of kills because part of the game recognizes his long list of bloodshed, and part of it doesn't. Weird.
Only one age is recorded in this world. "The Draconic Age". As far as I can tell, this is because there is only one dragon left in the world. It is the ONLY megabeast left. This MIGHT be the dragon imprisoned in Nist Akath itself. I haven't yet checked.
On that note, at least one guard has proven capable of making a dragon explode when struck with a hammer.
Coins are everywhere.
I am additionally doing a Terragen 2 render of Amethalina, the large world in which Nist Akath is set.

On ironblood's kills, isn't that because Toady implemented the kill-counting feature partway through Nist Akath?  Or are later kills also not showing up?

Yeah, cos of the implementation being made at that stage. So it's only been counting AFTER the main goblin sieges are long past.

I've had the same issue with Dorenemal. I upgraded to a newer but compatible version and all of the previous history was, for lack of a better term, wiped in game. It still existed, and engravings could be found of the events, but the game no longer recognized the kills. Even in the Legends section the first few years of the fortress history are simply absent.

I suppose that's one disadvantage of switching versions.

Hello!  Ive been reading for months, and like everyone else, I love it.  I havent even played DF yet, but I will sooner or later.  Since things are coming to a close, I figured its a "Now or Never" for getting a dwarf in before the end, so I made an account and here I am.  A shame, I should have done it much sooner, so I might hit legendary or some level of power before it gets ugly, but what the heck.

Name: Kierjan Thunderstout

Gender: Male

Profession: Im flexible as to the class, but I want military, Axe, Sword, Marks, whatever you have handy.  Maybe even conscript a Miner, mason, or something.  I just want to bash skulls at some point!


Its a long-running D&D, WoW, WAR, whatever Dwarf character Ive had a long time.  You could call me a fan of dwarf-kind.

Not to sound like someone who knows how big the number one is -IE: a smartass- but since a dragon's a megabeast, there is only one megabeast left in the world, and megabeasts don't breed, then the guard killed the dragon.

Uhh... the exploded dragon was not the same as the one captive in Nist Akath. There were quite a few megabeasts in the world before the trapped dragon became the only one. At least four of them have been killed in Nist Akath's early history, mostly by the Captain.

Smartass.

Didn't the Captain kill a Titan and a Colosuss once? I know he strangled a Hydra while naked. Pretty sure 3 at least are his kills.
