she was diagnosed by a dwarf with no eyes. I fear her condition immensely.

[Sutremaine]

Doctor: Tell me, does it hurt when I touch here?
Mace Lord: Gahh!
Doctor: Okay, great. Tell me, which part of your body is 'here'?


She has three fractures and three shattered bones (the missing foot doesn't really count here, since stumps don't get infected). Based on a bunch of run-throughs with a dwarf with eight shattered bones, she'll probably be fine if you have soap and a table.

Dwarven healthcare people: tables, cloth, thread, water and soap can cure all your wounds...

I didn't know there was a way for dwarves to get caught in traps...that they make..

[PDF urist master]

if dwarves are stunned or webbed, they are vulnerable to their own traps. (I don't think they can dodge either. this was a legendary mace lord with godly stats, legendary shield user and talented dodger yet every attack hit)

[reality.auditor]

When I realized you need to assign high boots, gauntlets, gloves, and socks twice for the militia to equip 2 of each

What... uh... crap. *facepalm* D:

EDIT: This thread says it is needed only when assigning single items, not general uniform.

Learned it when I had the "genius" idea to build my silk farm at the fortress entrance trap corridor, so I can repurpose it with the help of a drawbridge as a web trap. Then my legendary squad arrived to fight the invaders right there on top of the webbed traps. Ouch.

Second facepalm was when I sent in the clean-up crew later to take care of the mass: only mistake was that I forgot to raise the drawbridge that separated the tame spider and the bait goblin from the fortress proper. By the time I noticed that all my dwarves freaked out because of the goblin, and were waltzing up and down in the entrance corridor it was too late to find someone to pull the lever...
Palm hits the face through the spectacles bruising the brain.

this is why I put cage traps at the entrance and weapon traps far away from the fort. It just happened that my GCS followed a caravan guard outside.

I made a masterwork platinum crutch for the macelord. with that equipped, I honestly think it might be deadlier than the silver mace she's holding.

and the gem cutter tried to suture with adamantine strands, instead of the thousands of units of silk/plant thread in the hospital.

luckily i forbade it before anything bad happened.

Indestructible stitches sounds like it would be annoying for a demon to pick out of their teeth...

I forgot to use magma safe materials in my pump stack. Whoooops.

[Echostatic]

I pulled what I thought was the lever to open the drawbridge leading to the cavern. When I started getting spam about job interruptions, I learned that I had actually pulled the lever that released two yak thralls from their pit... Bye bye fortress.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Why did you have that as an option?

Also, finished my magma cart relay. Cart goes down, fills with magma, empties itself into a pit, is dropped, and the process starts again. This was all well and good until about half the fort thought it was a good idea to walk to the magma forges through the minecart track after I started up the quantum stockpilers.

Nuffin like the smell of melting dwarves to make you want to shoot the bastards that survived.

[Echostatic]

Why did you have that as an option?

Because some things, like having a lever to open the door to certain death at the hands of unstoppable undead beasts, only looks like a bad idea in retrospect.

big problem with my mace lord. she's not using the crutch I assigned her. by which I mean she's not using any crutch at all. so far her broken bones are healing nicely, status going from red to yellow. she still has 4 infections though.

I forbade, dumped and reclaimed the crutch I want her to use. hopefully it will solve the problem.
