The first death I had in my new fort didn't come from animals, goblins, or industrial accidents. I have a vampire.

Well after poking around in my citizen's thoughts, I found the bloodsucker. He's my best hunter and head of my crossbow squad. Oh ffs.

I think I might just have to put up with his shenanigans because of how useful he is.

I have two vampires in my current fortress.  Both have been walled up into nice three room apartments.  One is the book keeper.  One is the manager.  :D

So.. I'm pretty happy that after world gen I've found a volcano acting as bridge between two sides of a lake, perfect mix of magma and water for what I want from an embark.

Pretty happy, until I see what's the name of the only living dwarven civ:

Well, if that's how dwarves roll, no wonder there's only one civilisation! :P

It seems... a simple evolution of logic in retrospect.

First, you build a rediculously complex system that hurls corpses at walls via minecart to fall in pieces into lava.

Next, you design a system with no inherent defenses other than hurtling minecarts to fill said previous system.

Finally, as an access to dump the magma, you drill a hole in the ceiling of the exploding corpse system right where the corpses explode... and don't put in grates.

*ARGH*

My new fortress's name is Fortressball. Geshubiban, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, the group inhabiting it is called The Bodices of Breaching.

I mean, it's not really that hard, is it? Anyone can wield a torch, it doesn't prove anything. Wearing flaming clothes on the other hand, or better yet, wearing nothing at all and being on fire... that is the essence of dwarfish behavior."

Forgot that dwarves couldn't open grates. Built one at the entrance of an under-construction cave. Trapped all the workers. >.<

Also, fortress name is Decentpaints. Group's called the Flaxen Roads.

loyalty cascade.

5 DWARFBUCKS TO THIS GOOD MAN!

And it wasn't just a loyalty cascade. It was a full on Failcannon. We should make that a verb for when someone pulls a massive loyalty cascade.

erm why not slaughter it?
thats what I do with all the spare animals that show up. mmmmmmmm, meat...
just wish I could slaughter immigrants








yeah that doesn't sound good does it

It's a my little pony mod, where you play ponies. You can't get vampire livestock, or ponies for that matter (just horses/foals, donkeys/foals, and mules for equines), in vanilla.

Oh, I HATE when that happens. Hours of meticulous fortress planning, right out the window!

to be fair that's why I use scout tunnels before I make big constructions.

Hm? That seems to require all of 2 tiles of wall to be constructed for a safe area. And the right-most designation that pierced the caverns was just a big hall anyway, at least the cavern pierce didn't happen with the bedrooms(?) on the left. On the other hand, I do emphathize, I'm a bit OCD about not digging out any more than needed (and using just the materials I want etc), but I'd probably be able to adapt to this one.
