This fort was going really well in it's second year. No deaths, good trades etc.

I embarked without an anvil.

(I just realized my father civilization is dead.)

Maaaaaaan.

Well there are still h00manz.

[Ethereal.Frog]

None of them connected to my embark.

[Haspen]

None of them connected to my embark.

...

Maaaaaaaaaaan.

[Twobeard]

Thats hilarious. Wow. Sometimes it pays to take an anvil. Especially now that they are so much cheaper. I usually take one with me regardless.

My isolationist dwarves have the same problem, we've lost the ability to work metal.

everything is wood and stone, though metal can be used for decoration and in artifacts. or used in constructions.

[Torgan]

Most of my military were slaughtered in the Growling Assault of 1054, leaving armour and weapons scattered aboveground, including my artifact adamantine high boot.  No problem think I, the remaining military will equip it.  That doesn't happen for a season so I manually give it to my newly promoted militia commander.  He then proceeds to drop all his military gear and reequip everything else first as it's closer.

Then the rhesus macaques show up.

The previous boot's owners war dog seems to be leashed to where his owner died but doesn't manage to fend off the monkeys, and my remaining military seem to think it's a better idea to keep picking up new equipment than go where I tell them.

When I was tapping a river to flood my underground farms, I forget to close the floodgate back up. My farm ended up with solid 4/7s.

I carve out 2 10x10 rooms nearby, route the water in through the access corridor, blocking that off too.

It's at 2/7 accross all of it now.

I decided to unblock the access corridor, I'd rather have farming and a slightly wet bottom floor than not.

Now, on one side, I get a waterfall for a while. On the other, I think I might end up dropping a bit more water down there than I'd like.

Giving up on supplying a moody weaponsmith with his required metal bars because I forgot they came from a smelter, not a forge.

Realising my mistake the moment he went mad.

Wasting metal training a Dwarf to High Master Armorer only to have him get a possession...



and then not being able to satisfy the possession because I used up all my adamantine

Fortress running in 0.31.10 on processor 2:  My dwarves are ramp clearing my new wildlife-proof "aboveground" farms when a section of the cavern collapses where a tree grew while they were digging because I forgot to dirt road the area first... 3 dwarves dead including both my legendary miners.

Meanwhile...

Fortress running in 0.31.12 on processor 3:  My chief medical dwarf has died due to infection?  I check his thoughts and... he was injured while fighting?  I check combat reports and... he wrestled a mountain goat for a few seconds a season ago, then kept on with the other duties he was doing so I could set up my hospital.

[Spectre]

A doctor dying to an infection is really a facepalm.

[Misterstone]

I had about 4 or 5 dwarves lying in beds after a horrible Forgotten Beast attack.  The the only doctor had a tantrum spiral and murdered 2 or 3 of them. 

[Medicine Man]

The the only doctor had a tantrum spiral and murdered 2 or 3 of them. 

Lol at irony.

[Misterstone]

I should mention, he was at their bedside when he tantrumed, that is why they died. 

[Medicine Man]

What a reliable doctor!My biggest facepalm moment was the first time I tried to make a magma forge,I mined into the side of a volcano and the flames engulfed all of my bearded alcholoics.
