Spoiler (click to show/hide)
This too, is hilarious. Did your troops kill the koboldigoldis?

He made it about two steps before being chopped up, and then my soldiers made it about two steps before being chopped up, eaten, burned, and whatnot.

Not exactly a facepalm but...

I just started creating a military, and placing some traps in the fort, when an ambush pop up.
I think: "Ok, i'll close the drawbridge, i'm save". WRONG. I order pull the lever, but nobody do it. I have 18 dwarves and apparently they are suicidal. Goblins swarm my fortress, killing 5 dorfs. then suddenly they leave the fortress. in the exact moment the last goblin exit, somebody pull the lever.

FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

EDIT: Death count increased to 6. also my only doctor was killed first in the fortress. hoping that my woodcutter can save my other 3 injured dorfs...

EDIT 2: Don't want to wait a tantrum spiral to kill my fortress...
MAGMA FLOOD!!

Goblin killed a soldier decked out in not-microline metal armor I went into a tantrum and ordered everyone into the local clown fortress and locked them in and then removed the weapon made  by an unknown artisian

I used a brook to fill some waterhalls from which I could well, but closed the floodgate too late and now there's water on my main 'living' floor. Oh well, it helps clean things up a bit, I suppose. Multiple pets have been washed by it, and the water no longer seems to be rising.

I do have two people who need to rest in the hospital who can't reach the hospital at the moment. :c


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


Edit, lots of water, my dining hall is filled with miasma and a goblin invasion appeared (with some luck the human caravan might help me. :p) Oh what fun I'm having! :D

5 Hammergoblins and one with a bow, it seems.

Set up my very first danger room with menacing spikes. Spears, spikes, what's the big difference? If you're wondering, the big difference is walls bathed in dwarf blood.
The one survivor attempted a cleaning task (!) in the danger room and promptly suffocated.

Argh, the giant shrimp forgotten beast which died at the hand of a Speardwarf had deadly blood and due to a bit of a flood it seems there's quite a lot of ichor around. My war Giant Leopard and multiple Dwarfs have yellow wounds all over, numb, and for some Dwarfs it actually gets worse than that. Rot kicks in in soft bits, so there's lot of Dwarf-generated miasma around.

Twenty seconds after the collapse, 14 dwarves hit the ground simultaneously.
EDIT: make that 15. Not sure what took that last one so long.

Me: I hope this gets sigged.

The sig part is like a joke. It's not meant to be sigged.

Why would that get sigged? It's not particularly funny. :P Besides, you asking for it to get sigged kinda ruins and 'ooh, I need to sig that'  feelings.

"Thief! Protect the hoard from skulking filth!" *zooms to location, thief was discovered in the middle of a squad of invading goblin archers. Unpause, kobold becomes a pincushion.*
