Heh.  Ok, short history on this fort.  I posted a topic a while ago regarding my civ and it's elf-king.  This fort was made mountainhome and got the king, yadda yadda.  Of course I immediately became bored with it and abandoned.

Fine.

About five years have passed in the game world, as I screwed around with other forts and occasionally entered abandoned forts with adventurers.

Then, I reclaimed "ConjuredGates", my old mountainhome.

At this point, I'll just show a couple of pictures, with brief comments:

Troglodytes are everywhere!


Note that ten minutes after entering the fort, everyone is just about ready to kill everyone else.


The elven king's old chambers!  Now not fit for anyone.  Also: Down to something like 40 dwarves, from a starting 70, mostly from killing each other.


The bowels of the fort also contain dozens of dead.  Also down to something like 30 now.


Also, a full view of the fort's main level.  I figure it's worth looking at.  This is after (most) of the fighting was done.


And finally, a few days after the carnage, my stock screen (most corpses have rotted to bones):




This sort of place is why I play DF!  Haha, it's awesome.

As a final note, I don't expect my remaining nine (a few of which I believe are insane) to actually survive.  But still, hey, fun times.

Wow, you built a fort around a chasm?
Thats why the troglodytes invaded so much.

Also, thats going to be alot of bone bolts.

So what the heck happened to the reclaimers anyway?  Miasma and a couple deaths send the rest into "lost a friend" tantrum spirals?  I swear, you'd think a small army of freaking dwarves gearing up to invade a lost fortress would be emotionally prepared for a few casualties.

I love that picture where every dwarf is a red arrow.

looks like miasma, lost freinds, and witnessed death, plus lack of mood boosters and reciveing wounds did it for the first. then they began attacking everyone nearby.

How many troglodytes were there anyways?

[Efun]

millions

How many troglodytes were there anyways?

Of wild animals and troglodytes:

Alive, there are 9 full pages (minus two) of troglodytes, cave swallowmen, and naked mole dogs.

Deceased count on the same creatures (plus a few large rats and a jaguar) is something like 20 full pages and a half of another.

My screen shows nineteen creatures per page, so thats
169 Alive, 390 (or so) dead.

It was quite a battle.  I've got two berserk dwarves (Hammer or Axe), Three melancholic folks from military service, some guy as an "Elf Advisor", I presume somehow still alive from the previous fort and listed as "friendly",  One guy with incurable head injuries among a dozen other body parts, and it looks like five guys fit for service, one of which has a bruised kidney.

All of them have "Miserable" on their wounds page.  There is something on the order of fifteen thousand (at least, rough estimate) items to pick up and arrange.  I'm going to see if I can make it work.

The misery, so far as I can tell, comes from "Lost a friend to tragedy lately", "Has seen death", "Major injuries", "Been attacked lately", "had to endure the decay of a friend", and "has been disgusted by a miasma".  Also since they've been eating/drinking out of the wagon, they don't have a legendary dining room to make it better.

Holy Christ on a pogo stick, you murdered a whole civilization...

 Hmm...

 Reclaim again. How many times will it take to kill the whole world from misery.

I'd be miserable too if i had to clean up that mess

[Vugor]

gotta love the pic with all the red arrows....


i have done about the same thing before, reclaiming is interesting sometimes..

Your corpse-choked death-fort fills me with joy.  Hats off to you.
