I saved the fort with a single dwarf.

That's why I never quit until the only dwarves left are insane. Or children, because really, who wants to run the game for seven years while that kid grows up.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

A whole gang of miners getting horribly slaughtered by a single giant toad. The guy even got a name, although I didn't care enough to remember it.

I then threw a random military together and they did a lovely impersonation of an anatomy class.

It is spring again and those nearly useless elf caravan is visiting me again. Their diplomat went to my Mayor for the usual buisness. They keep chatting, finishing the import agreement and then i got to see the export agreement. The most "needed" item was: Wooden Figurines. Elves. Face Palm.

They are surely trying to trick you into war.

Okay.....I just got dwarf fortress.....needles to say things didn't go well.after a goblin siege a child's parents were killed.the CHILD threw a tantrum and began slaughtering my dwarfs in there sleep! My stinking champion wrestler tried to fight it but at that moment a cave in happened while the child miraculously escaped.........the other dwarves became melancholy, about 5 left.they died.the child was left.he all of a sudden got depressed BECAUSE ALL HIS FRIENDS WERE DEAD! He then proceeded to jump into my carp infested moat........lot of blood.........and so ended scalyorb of demons!

Legend tells of a fort besieged by a dragon. When 79 brave recruits fell to its breath, the last dwarf of the fort took up arms. He sprung from his sickbed and claimed an adamant one sword before he bulrushes the dragon. A clean swipe severs the head. But the dragon claws him in the lower body and burns him alive. As he melts into a pile of booze and fat, I rename him Ronnie James Dio and change his profession to dragonslayer. He will forever be immortalized and worshipped as a dragonslayer God.

The prices agreed upon in import and export agreements apply to both sales and purchases.  He might have been trying to sell you a load of elven wood figurines.

Until figurines have a use, I don't think anyone would buy the blighted things.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

Oh Masterwork.
How brutal it is when you're reminded of the warlocks' existence when you realized the goddamn forest is on fire after the last siege.
