Build it in a public place and use that sucker for milling.

I did. It's now in the main entrance and everyone is quite happy about it. Still, considering how little of it I have I would rather have used it for making armor.

Built a complex above ground drowning/freezing trap for sieges, since I had run out of room underground. Didn't think to secure the
mechanisms/pumps/watermills from the outside world.

Siege comes, group of 8 trolls rush in and play bull in a china shop with my trap layout, and now I only have a handful of cage traps and weapon traps to take out the 4 remaining goblin squads, and a ragtag under-equipped militia to stop the 4 goblin squads coming my way. This will be messy.

First post. Here goes!

Spent such a long time yesterday setting up a proper danger room that could handle several squads at once. I believe it's 82 squares big, took hours to make all the training spears and link every single trap to a lever (kindof regret I didn't think of setting it to a repeater instead, but ohwell).

So when I finally have set it all up, dressed my 20 soldiers in full armor and all the other preparations, I pull the lever. Success! Everything worked, so I set it to repeat for a while, checked back with them a few times to look at their skyrocketing skills. All fine and dandy.

The next month, those alcoholized lemmings suddenly decided that it's bring-your-child-to-work-day. Four toddlers dead in 10 seconds flat.

great quota up that by assigning dogs and or warelefants (i used to have a fort with allmost 100 bred war elefants where 2/3rd died gruesomely in the dangerrooms :) btw you can save alotta place by making one room for each squad with a 1*1 area ..encapsulated with very nice statues and engraved walls/floor .. thats enough .. they can dodge etc even when sitting down :)

like that ..Behold great Art!!

You don't need the statues, but i do think it'ds a nice addition since you can decorate all your statues with blood and rotate them out of the area as needed, nice work :P

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

McMayor is 18 (got the job at 12) and has mother, father, 8 siblings, 32 friends and rest of fort likes him.
(nicknamed this clan the Kennedys)

The fort is already on a knife edge after a toxic spill in the hospital and I had to quarantine it. (Fun!)
