My miner was taking a nap in the barracks. All of a sudden, I get two announcments compressed into one.
THIEF! Protect the horde from the skulking filth.
Urist McLegendary Miner Has been struck down.

The kobold... slashed him in the head with a copper dagger... and TOOK IT'S FUCKING HEAD OFF.

I'm playing in a really hot swamp with deep soil.
Do you want to know what happens when you pasture animals in a hot climate? Everything they touch turns to sand.

i supposed that's because the top soil layer of your embark site is sand.

I bulid walls around my fortress, a big moat and a bridge, filled it with water. Then came winter..... The water/moat froze, and the attackers just walked right over the ice

Next time, build three moats: Dry, Water and Magma. Water one being optional. And well as dry one.

The magma one should cover everything your fort isn't on.

Tried to make an obsidian farm. Forgot that marble wasn't magma-proof. I now have a magma pool with a leak. *facepalm* indeed.

the floodgates or what because constructions are invulnerable

I used doors. I've been playing since 40d. I know this stuff. I just had a brain fart. I blame the head injuiry I suffered recently.

So, a forgotten beast slaughtered half the fortress. Unbelievably, I managed to get every singe dwarf inside and lock the door, with the forgotten beast outside (I will somebody remember that forgotten beasts can break down doors, but that's a story for another day). So the forgotten beast wanders about the feilds full of corpses and, unbelievably, decides to kick back and hang around the underground graveyard. Inspiration strikes and I designate the construction of a floor over the entrance, hopefully sealing the beast in. I delete the burrow over the fortress, unlock the doors, and let my mason go to work. Amongst the flood of dwarves running out with him... to carry the corpses to the graves... that the forgotten beast was standing on top of.

Yeah, my fortress died.

Yeah, face palming can be hazardous.

My newest world has a deity of suicide....

[proxn_punkd]

Got excited about .19, installed it on my new compy, genned a world, started a fort, and captured a hive of honey bees before I went to bed.

That night, I dreamed my new fort got besieged by trolls within the first year.

The next day, I checked the forums and discovered that having a beehive causes your fort's value to skyrocket, causing it to get ambushed and besieged sooner.

That was oddly prophetic, wasn't it?

Either that, or you play in your sleep. Let us know if you notice your forts being more developed/flooded/on fire/etc. when you wake up in the morning.

I want the graphics pack my dreams use, then.
