Yeah that Kurtz--it fits: we are in a jungle, and he became mayor after murdering several dwarves in a tantrum and becoming a warrior badass, flanked by war elephants and a war voracious cave crawler. The horror, the horror...

I forgot to change the baby limit to a reasonable level.

My population cap is 120. My actual population currently sits at 164.

There are a total of 51 babies and children... *facepalm*

Just abort them... and the parents too.

So, I named one of my dorfs after me, gave him appropriate skills to be a proto-me, and sent him off with 6 non-nicknamed "servants". I had all intentions of setting this game up as though I were the overlord of this particular fortress. What's the first thing that happens? My beardy avatar decides to go fight a pack of marmots, dodges into a murky pool, and promptly drowns. *facepalm*

I was building a channel full of water and a drawbridge at the first defense line. I had no soldiers yet, cause I did not yet know much about the squad system back then. Then winter came, the water froze. Then a horde of wolves came. 

Luckily I had a draw bridge at my main entrance too.

Never. EVER. Fill your moats.
Unless it's with corpses or magma. Those will do.

Do you not see how ominous/portentous this is? If you see a marmot, pull out a fucking chaincrossbow man. It may save you..

[Sirdrake]

Channeling out the square of a volcano wall, hoping it'll flood the room I've created to go beneath my forges. The main staircase of the fortress was unblocked. My fortress becomes a new extension of the volcano.

I Got bored with my volcano fort and lets just say there was an "accidental" miss click on designate to mine

[Lamphare]

part of the risk that dwarves have to face, assumed, in many if not all fantasy dwarf exist, is 'accident'
that is to say, deep creatures, flooding of water or magma, structural failure due to various causes, invasion, or simply a tantrum spiral.

like mines of moria, or Khazad-dûm gotten continuously attacked by orcs for hundreds of years thusly food access was partially cut off, laterly durin's bane, much like FB in DF, killed the dwarven king and drived many folks to flee and finally abandon the stronghold. though i supposed i didnot read anything about flood and cave-ins or any 'minor' incidents alike, there are always danger, and fun in underground construction.

so yeah in summary, i consider those bad things very dwarfy. and as i had, they should be treated as a history of the fort, and be dealt, whenever, wherever and however a bunch of dwarves can.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i used to flood half of my successful fort, then gotten invaded right after, so i locked the fort up and struggling for three or four years until i could sustain the part of the fort left, and began to drain those flooded area. then after few seasons i managed to retrievethe flooded part fully.

Not sure if this is facepalm or win.

I have a roast siting in the kitchen that is made from minced strawberry wine, finely minced swamp whiskey, finely minced dwarven ale, minced dwarven ale and dwarven rum.
