Goblin siege, squad of enemy trolls heading towards my drawbridge. Dispatch militia squads because i thought they could handle them. My squad starts firing from the bridge and kills the trolls about 1 square away from them. Troll corpses litter the bridge, the rest of the goblin horde are coming. Recall my troops inside and pull the lever for the bridge, nothing happens and the enemy charge straight in only taking minor casualities on my puny traps

Stupid trolls shouldve stayed under the bridge where they belonged

Edit, darn, ninja'd. Camels are cool. I am wondering how you got to magma before setting up a military? :o

Volcano, I always embark on a volcano

EDIT: Just got elven merchants and an ambush in the same moment :) . Elves are rotting in the corpse stockpile, goblin are retreating (drawbridges are soooooo powerful), but according to dwarf therapist i voluntarily accidently lost 16 dwarf

I usually facepalm at my friends forts. He's.... more artistic then logical, doesn't always see things quite right. Wonders how all those giant bats killed his fort when he's been using holes in his floor for decorative purposes :/.

Today's facepalm: d-b-d does not discriminate between useless litter, and items that are placed as buildings. Neither does it ignore items inside items that are placed as buildings, such as chests.

There goes my entire hospital equipment down the magmadump.

Embarked on a frozen river, five seconds later it unfroze. All dwarves were alive, but picks, axes, dogs, cats, everything, landed in the river.

Socks.  Lots and lots of socks.  It's the greatest Dwarven vice of all, outstripping alcohol by several orders of magnitude: the desire to own and haul as many feet-warming tubes of cloth as possible.

Invaders got nice accessories, don't they? There's even dwarf/human teeth, hair and bone stuff!  :D

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Dammit, a pump operator tried to cross my frozen river the very moment it started to, well, thaw. He has drowned. ::)

And an animal trainer had mechanics on, and he took his two freshly trained war dogs into my danger room, where one of them got beaten till it vomitted.
