What is it?

[Fahgo]

Created a looooong winding dodge trap for dealing with sieges. Included stairs back to the begining for any survivors that didn't splat to try again. Siege arrives, one leader walks onto trap, dodges off and splats at the bottom.

His entire squad walks down the stairs to stand by his corpse, not even getting near the traps
*Face Palm*
I've now moved the stairs to the end of the first line of traps.

Added Face Palm: Deployed 2 4 dorf squads next to the goblinite recovery entrance (a drawbridge at the bottom). Ordered lever pulled. Then noticed only 1 soldier charging out. The first station command I gave was too close to the wall. When the drawbridge went down the rest of the squads were running all the way to the top of the trap, to walk all the way around the looooong (34 tiles long, 5 lengths, 5 tile gap between each) top part, to walk all the way down the afore mentioned stairs. Had to call up another 2 squads to relieve the poor sod who was fighting 10 swordgobs all on his own while his mates were taking a tour around the fort. *pathfinding Face Palm*

I built a magnificent basalt entrance bridge spanning across an open volcano leading to my wooden hillfort.
Queue caravan and fingers crossed, yes, finally my enterance is accessable, lots of goodies coming my way!
halfway across the bridge i notice smoke..... The animals are mildly injured, ok but they should be fine, the merchants seem ok and uninjured, my dwarves have been walking across that bridge for ages and are fine,.... 2 mins later it seems the Animals, merchants, wagons, everything they were carrying have completely evaporated...
*facepalm*
I needed that iron and flux!

Not thinking to internalize my refuse pile, considering I have 2 towers nearby...

Just had some goblin ambushes, dwarves took em all outside. Just now I had a necro ambush. 72 zombies rose from that refuse pile...

[Garath]

good practice for your marksdwarfs

[Splint]

Throw minotaur into fighting pit. Feed it goblin soldiers.

Try to feed it thieves of various races. Find it doesn't mind the shifty pricks.

Needless to say, I facepalmed when it didn't kill the thieves like I wanted.

[Disreputable_Dog]

my biggest facepalm is when i get lost in making the fortress and forget about the migrants. one minute its cozy cave of catastrophy, the next ive got useless farmers and craftsdwarves leaking out every crack, usualy down into the spikey pits i had just finished diggin >.<

OK, let's release this Kobloid Theif with no equipment in my barracks of 5 guys for some training!

Que one of my recruits dying. To an unarmed/armored Kobloid. In a 5 on 1.

Heh.

(Mods) put a fire-throwing and web-slinging super in the same squad. I sent them against one honey badger, and they all died, leaving a huge mangled pile of severed limbs and burnt bodies tangled with web. The woodcutter who the honey badger kept interrupting survived because he fell into a webbed cage trap. Most of the other animals on that z-level died from the forest fire. Fortunately, they also got the badger.

Apparently, large daggers are surprisingly good at piercing armor. Then again, that's pretty much what RL daggers were intended for. Also, IIRC, some recent combat ‼Science‼ revealed that maces are pretty weak in DF.

Because he could, duh!
