...just claimed two legendary miners.  I had some five odd newbies I wouldn't have minded loosing but noooo, had to be the legendaries.  My own damn fault for trying to build a perpetual motion waterfall/conservatorium/dining hall in one go without trying them out seperately first.  They died for a noble cause however.

So, when something like that happens, do you keep going?  I always get discouraged after a disaster and start another fort.  I suspect it's fun not being such a perfectionist, though...

My current fortress has a moat (Had to, freaking zombie fire-imps and Skeletal elephants)  and I wanted to, later in the game once I got things working properly, to create a giant bridge to the edge of the map 1 z level up, using drawbridges, as a kind of "Come and get me goblins, now go flying across the map"  Kind of thing.  Great fun.

Anyway, I bootched the construction right out the gate, and dropped a floor tile down.  It managed to kill my Super-dwarf (appraiser/broker/architecht/legendary carpenter/great mechanic)  and push 3 other dwarves who where using the normal entrance into the moat.

Yea...  those 3 other dwarves weren't TOO important (a woodcutter, a fisher, and a soapmaker)  But still.. Dust clouds are probably the most dangerous thing in existance.

This is the first fort where I gave up perfectionism and just did what I felt like.  While it did lead to two legendaries lost in a cave in, I'm still having loads of fun getting into the finicky bit of handling 80 dwarves and trying to keep no more then 20 standing around uselessly at a time.  So I'm not abandoning over this.

yeah... the earths grabby hands of death...

It's pretty fun to have a noble drop a floor tile off a bridge, though. =D
