Do you know how much leather can fit on your second trade caravan if you set all requests to maximum?


Neither do I, I guess I am about halfway through the list.  I'm about up to 30% of the value of the stuff I have to trade, and my rough guestimate is about 50 bins of leather so far (in addition to a bunch of wood, metal bars, and desperately needed cloth, I have a dwarf sitting in a possession muttering about it)

Around 40 leather of each kind at very least ( 4 bins and 10 leather each on maxed order ), multiply that by how many you've maxed out

So around 120 bins, at least from domenstics and a lot more for decent sprawl.

Aww

I was using a danger room and one of the military dwarfs babies was impaled on the wooden spikes. Time to use those 4000 gold bars I have...

It amazes me, given that the river (and moat I carved out from it) freezes every winter, that none of my dorfs have been encased in ice. Plenty have been on the ice when it unfreezes, though. It was mildly amusing when it happened to half a dozen goblins.

Champion Monom now has more than 70 significant kills.

I think I was able to draft my fort's queen into the military, but I don't know if it worked.

Pretty much sums up my impression of this terrifying embark. Bet here it also rains wooden tablets saying "No Fun Allowed".

"Okay everyone, dump all these goblin corpses over the bridge that empties into the giant lava pit below."

"Wait, Urist what are you doing? Why are you on break over the lava pit of doom? Because now you're falling into lava. Congratulations."


Maybe I need stricter safety features...

That doesn't mean anything. Be patient, DF is working in the background.

For me, the game generally exits at that point. _But_ it seems that the crash just means DF exits in a somewhat disorderly fashion, while the savefile is still perfectly functional and up-to-date. Just fire up the program again and see if you can load the savefile, chances are pretty good it's alive and well.

I managed to survive the goblin ambush with only 10-15 dwarf deaths (I did not get my military trained until it was too late). Unfortunately, I did not seal the caverns as well as I thought, so a dust FB (the dust makes everything rot) came through. It was killed, but now my fort is filled with corpses and miasma.

I have bought some unusual pets from caravan of "Poor Elf's second hand clothes", and first one didn't last for ONE YEAR and died of OLD AGE. Beware, elves are not honest traders!

Well, tigers lions bears oh my don't last well on elven tofu.  The shock to coming back to real food at the hands of dwarves "saving" them can sometimes be too much for their weakened bodies.

i somehow mistakened an engraving for a dwarf and tried to get it back to work

I gave goblins special reactions so that they'd have access to adamantine by default, to increase difficulty. The first siege that comes? 100% Goblin Macemen.
