First death on my new fortress was a baby falling down a soon-to-be well.

Its parents probably died. They tend to suicide if their folks die.

Should've given the kid a cabinet.

I only just now realized that you can scroll through the announcement list.

Hey, this thread just got stickied, cool.

[Sysice]

I guess this is the closest to a help thread we're going to get, so the sticky makes sense. I retroactively second the motion!

This thread has actually taught me a few things, so good stuff.

Just had a recent one. Didn't remove the ramps next to one of my fortress walls. Last siege this wasn't a problem, as I had no stairs to access the top and the lizardmen (Relentless Assault) were only pikemen and wrestlers. This time, a bunch of lizardmen bowmen managed to climb to the top of my walls and began firing on my hammerdwarves laying in wait for them to go through the front gate. Oops.

Amazingly, I only had one casualty. I think he was shot a few times then fell, the official cause of death was  "Collided with an obstacle" but I think that was just the final blow. Luckily, although my dwarves didn't have their final weapons, I had 10 dwarves halfway through my intensive cross-training regimen, so they had good wrestling, shield user, and agility plus steel chainmail.

Fake Edit: Strike that. Apparently, he fell off the wall and down the stairwell. So it was a 15 z-level fall that got him... ouch.

For awhile I was oblivious to the mass forbid/dump/melt features; I spent more time with the game paused after a siege marking stuff than the siege lasted.

Reading this post, I realized that I STILL DO IT THAT WAY. *facepalm*

I accidentally killed a cat with catapult fire instead of the peasant I was aiming at once. I really needed that cat.

Silly Shonus, catapults don't hurt dorfs!

NOt sure if you're joking or not, bt they mosy certainly do.

Cool, stickied.

I just started using Dwarf Companion.  I can't believe how much easier it is than the game interface.  Managing dwarves can be fun again!  All that time editing professions. . .

Most likely the mother was asleep.  They tend to crawl off unless the mother actually gets a chance to pick them up.  One jumped out of my barraks and headed straight for the lava mote til the unbelievably agile mother ran to pick it up.

Yea I've actually seen that happen recently. (except instead of a magma moat it was the 13 z level dropshaft that goes down the middle of the central stairway) Funny how the moms can sleep through that kinda thing.

Producing a legendary right before the seasonal change in the first year, followed by a goblin invasion.

I conscripted my entire population and hurled them at the invaders.  With hilarious results.  Dorf bits everywhere.

Spending the entire afternoon covering the whole topside fort and yard with floors, one-by-one (oblivious to the UMKH keys), so it'll look awesome. Then realizing I can't build anything on constructed floors, and removing every single floor title, one-by-one. Then removing all the single-title paved roads outside the fort (again, one-by-one), because traps also cannot be constructed on them,

Good times!

I'm pretty sure your populace is immune to catapults.
