My entire immigrant wave just burned in a forest fire. One dwarf came running out of the smoke on fire towards my fortress and within the last second my bridge was swung up and I let the poor guy burn to a crisp outside.

Had a good laugh might i add.

I'm proud of all of my dwarfs because they haven't been spending all their time partying and been getting their work done with little complaint.

If your armor was 50% as good as two other civs and 30% as good as a third, do you really think you'd do well in war? That'd be like trying to engage a rocket-launcher mounted Humvee with a pistol riding a tricycle.

Finishing my 100-story megatower.

Technically, only 75 of the levels are above-ground, but the 25-level basement is pretty much a tower too.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

You can't have 75 levels above ground...

Please explain.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.

Not quite true; you can only have 15 z-levels above the highest bit of ground, but you don't have to start building at the highest bit of ground.

My elven genocide project, in which I'm going to decorate a cinnabar quern with every single toxic metal I can, and exchange for their entire caravan one year.
And then wait for them to die.

Wait, does that actually WORK?! I mean, If YOU used it, would it poison your food supply?

True, does this mean you had a map with at least 100 z-levels of play (85 underground)?  Then you collapsed the whole thing down to the 25th from the bottom z level?

Just post a map and I'm sure I'll understand.

Sadly no, not yet anyway.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

No, the upper Z limit is figured from the highest surface tile and the lower Z limit from the lowest surface tile. So if you embark on the side of a steep mountain you get more Z levels to play with.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

Do you have a Depot? Is it accessible? (Use 'D' to check.) Trees, boulders, rivers, ponds and cliffs can prevent access.

Proud moment: Going to trade with the Elves, I saw they have brought about 20 logs and just bins and bins of rope reed cloth.  I seized their logs and let them drag their useless cloth back home.  Usually I'm too kind and let them leave with some stone trinkets in exchange, but the page after page of ugly cloth just made me see red.  Especially since the total value of the caravan was pitiful compared to the 2 (two!) massively valuable roasts I had dragged in to trade.
I think I've become more dwarvenly now.

Just post a map and I'm sure I'll understand.

Normally I go for the max height maps.
They are about 70z above ground and -+15 below depending on the map layout. So a 100z does not sound strange at all.

If u don't understand try starting a map while using the height map checker. TAB while you select a site.
