I've done some science on this, Which Makes me the self-proclaimed expert on Loyalty cascades/.

It is possible that the good Dwarves(citizens) beat off the bad ones(seperatists, renegades, and loyalists (loyal to fort, no one, and civ respectively)) and so your dwarves are fine. However, there is a chance that this did not occur, and you have brought untold hell upon yourself.

Eazy way to check: Look at the loyalty info (Dark Blue writing in the status screen.), once there, figure out whats up. If their unfriendly to one or both things, check your other dwarves for similarities in loyalty.

It sounds like you lucked out.

Then you can have a loyalty cascade in Hell! How fun would that be?

Lucky bastard. Seriously, you have no clue. If this had happened when I was online, your entire fort would be covered in dwarf blood. More so then usual.

Are you sure? He seems like he might. But if he doesn't then he will be [REDACTED], am I right?

I embarked on a possibly sightly crack brained plumbing project.

Close to ground level I have a brook fed cistern. Far below ground level I'm building a new cistern/well near the new hospital. I decide to dig a tunnel from Cistern 2 to Cistern 1.

I get ready to breech the bottom of the #1 and realize I don't have much of an exit strategy.

I'm going to have a dwarf in a long tunnel that will rapidly be filling with water. And he might not get back behind the floodgate in time.

So instead of one of my good miners I find the sorriest dope in the base, hand him a pick and boot him into the tunnel. I figure if things go wrong retrieving a body is easier than re-engineering the whole thing.

So the palooka hits the last stone and, it's not a flow, it's like a geyser. He disapears, and the water slams into the first bend 15 squares behind him. I pause and inspect. He's STANDING there LIKE A BOSS. He then swims UPSTREAM, and up about 8 Z levels of water, climbs out of Cistern 1 and hurries off. BECAUSE he's late for archery practice. I want to make this guy Mayor now.

Then I look at the restof the tunnel. And halfway down it I find, a wheelbarrow. a dead dwarf, and his dead pet dog. I think he was after some stones. He died over diorite, and not just diorite, a random piece of unusually inaccessible diorite...instead of you know, gettting one of the ones that are EVERYWHERE ELSE.

*facepalm*

But what will happen if he [POTATO] it? Will he the proceed to [BANANA]? I don't think [WOMBATS] would approve.

Do a little remodelling. Find out a couple of months later, when two dwarves die of dehydration, that you've cut off the path to the lowest three or four floors of your fortress. Decide to re-do the connection between floors to be less fragile.

Cause a cave in. Kill a dwarf. Destroy several masterworks that were stored on the floor below.

Yeaah, I think I'm going to try again.
