Urist McManlyChild has been content lately. Urist has lost a mother to tragedy recently. Urist has lost a father to tragedy recently. Urist enjoyed starting a fist fight recently (and breaking a grown dwarfs arm...). Urist was forced to endure the decay of a mother recently.

Urist McGrownDwarf has been miserable lately. He complained of the nasty water recently. He was dehydrated recently. He admired a fine chair recently. He lost a friend to tragedy recently. He was forced to endure the decay of a friend recently.

Urist McGrownDwarf cancels Eat: Went insane
Urist McGrownDwarf is running around babbling!

Yeah, so guess who is the better dwarf; AKA, guess who will be drowned and who's body will be entombed in the magma pipe when they die, which will be in the line of duty, btw.

So I embarked on a nearly treeless site, only enough cacti for 6 beds. To get more wood, I look for the first cavern level. Not only do I some how miss both the first and second levels, but when I came out in the third... Well...

*You have discovered an expansive cavern deep underground.*
*Enter*
*You have discovered a mysterious structure deep underground.*

Three dead dwarfs later, the stairs to the third caverns are successfully floored over.

Had a Forgotten Beast attacking my fort. Organic oversized flying Skunk with 3 eyes and poision. Send my Military after it.
In the end things went a little differently than actually planned.... those pets i tell ya...

I love how it says above 'The Age of Myth was a time when living gods and mighty beasts still held sway'. Maybe the Age of Myth was a time when peacocks ruled supreme?

I had about 30 cavies just stuck in a pasture and they ate the grass I need for my horses, imagine my surprise when slaughtering 20 cavies doesn't yield an ounce of meat, but 20 tiny skulls... the next traders to come by are going to be carrying some totems away, that's all I know... Also, I spent about a year game time getting tame gray langurs, but they're still weak compared to other animals. Langurs are still better than cavies, they don't eat all our grass and they still give meat... Any other common pets I should be slaughtering en masse?

Kittens.

So you've got a whiny grown dwarf and child batdwarf... keep an eye on him, or those goblins could be getting a really tough commander...

So I embarked on a nearly treeless site, only enough cacti for 6 beds.

One bed for a dorm, five beds for military bedroom or for spare beds in the dorm.

Five beds should hold you out until the first caravan comes, which will bring a good deal of trees.

I had a Forgotten Beast enter from the first cavern layer, a highly threatening blob of salt.  He had climbed up from the bottle of a chasm and was walking along the edge of a cliff towards an open-air picnic area I had set up for the dwarves (a genius plan, I know).  My best swordsdwarf runs at the creature, gets spooked, and plummets to his death at the bottom of the chasm.  A dwarf civilian sitting at a picnic table hits the Forgotten Beast and it disintegrates after one swing.

(face-palm)

I am currently having the Great Reservoir Fiasco of 133. 
Firstly, being a noob, i ordered a pit to be channeled out, down near the hospital. (I was intending to make a well, so that wounded dwarves could drink non-stagnant water) This claimed the lives of 2 miners, and a baby. Later, i ordered a floodgate to be placed... It was. But, for some reason, it had trapped NO LESS THAN 20 DWARVES in the reservoir. (No clue why they were there)

On an unrelated note, I ordered the main gate/drawbridge to be raised. Unfortunately, a dwarf was attempting to cross it when this happened... he died on impact.

More of a funny facepalm than anything. I had taken my hammerdwarves off duty for a while so that they could get some good thoughts in (plus all were legendary) when they started getting the 'embarrassed to be naked' thought. I was confused until I took a closer look at inventory and I had apparently forgotten to put greaves into their uniform, oops!

I believe greaves cover the lower leg, how about adding pants?

Maybe they were on break? (Do you use meeting zones? My dwarves used to wander to all sorts of places they shouldn't have been before I started using them.)

I haven't had any problems with just greaves covering the legs when the armor is set to replace clothes.

I'm starting to have the same message for the civillian population and I've neglected the clothing industry.
