In my fortresses it happens exactly every time i found a cavern. ;-)

Damn it, chief-medical-dwarf-who-is-now-also-a-mayor, you used to be cool. Mandating adamantine items totally blew it.

Now he's gonna have some poor metalcrafter beaten to death, just as the fortress is coming out of a dangerously close call with a potential tantrum spiral.

Try giving your captain of the guard a training weapon.

Thanks for the advice. There were a whole bunch of guys with disorderly conduct charges, and the new captain decided they should take their beating before he swapt his bronze axe for the wooden one.

They're all dead now.

i like to keep captains in limbo when that happens - assign one and lock him in his room for a bit (don't forget about him!) while the usual trades weapons. then assign back and free old one.

now: try savescuming?

Sorry for the big picture.

I don't savescum. Especially when whatever went wrong is funny.

The Cyclops Astru Genong Okasmaz has come! A giant humanoid monster with a single eye set in its forehead.
Some migrants have arrived.

RIGHT. ON TOP. OF THE CYCLOPS.

[Flying Dice]

Embark on a major river. With the wagon on the very edge of the ice. I check the map with DFreveal, and I notice the masterwork cotton candy stick. The moment I unpause, ice melts & everyone dies.

[Excedion]

Minotaur arrives on the map. "Oh no worries, if i send some ranged militia then he wont be able to close on them before they kill it."

Send 6 poorly trained marksdwarves with xbows and leather armor out to fight the beast. It goes badly. As soon as he hits the first archer he knocks her to the ground, grabs her quiver and beats her to death with it. He then proceeds to beat the rest of my militia to death with the same leather quiver without any of them leaving a scratch. Thank god for cage traps

On the bright side, you have one less kitten-factory clogging up your fps...

[GamerKnight]

If you caught it, what will you do with it?

[L3TUC3]

I have decent fort going with a fairly decent militia who've spent most their time beating up any naked gobs taken prisoner from the cage traps.

Now an ambush appeared and it had a bunch of archer in them, injuring some of my military, but also a few dwarves who needed those silk socks pretty badly.

This is a fine task for my chief medical dwarf, who has had nothing to do all game, save for a disarm mishap with a pikegob. The injured are dragged in like pincushions, with my 10 bed hospital filled to 8.

My medical dwarf then decides this is the most opportune time to go on break....and then have a nap.
