My bad.I dont know much about rams or dual power cores and that kind of stuff.

[Mraedis]

Apparently neither does tobias.

I'm pretty sure Tobias just hadn't read far enough back in the conversation to catch the context of the post he quoted. Easy mistake.

Also, my Consort just died. The Duchess had one last child after that, which left her with a total of 40 children. Wooooo!

[Zruku]

I love the massive amount of dead hammerers, did they ever get the message?

[QuantumSawdust]

Hah, I kept hoping they would - you would think slowly dehydrating to death next to a lava vent would be a terrifying enough concept.

But then I learned I can just take away their hammers, and they lose any ability to uphold their position. Kinda strange.

40 children?? Was this Consort a freakin nympho?
EDIT: I just downloaded the save. Good god that's a lot of dead hammerers.
Double EDIT: What's up with the forest fire that I'm seeing on the bottom level when I load up the game?
Triple EDIT: I keep finding stuff that makes me laugh. I found the Dungeon Master's room and his 88 cabinets full to the brim of spider silk cloaks, with more spider silk cloaks littering the floor on every available tile.

Magnificent.

My favorite part: the 30+ pages of booze barrels in each of the stills

[Horseplank]

Holy wah.

This is a dwarven fortress. A REAL dwarven fortress.

I salute you.

The forest fire is probably the result of lava I dumped from my magmaduct which I used to fill the Colosseum. It would at least be in the same general time zone that happened.
I don't know how the Duchess/Consort got anything done at all considering all the babies they were popping out. Now they have both passed away from old age and have been replaced by another Duchess/Consort - but the consort was a very depressed person and despite trying to make all his mandates starved himself to death.

In the middle of the most expensive room in the Fortress. I don't know how he survived as long as he did being that spoiled.

Also, a few elven ambushes last year took down quite a few dwarves. Maybe 4 or so. Which is almost unheard of, not sure what went wrong. Still, a heroic dwarf rose to the challenge as a sword elf was chasing down an injured marksdwarf. He got recruited into the military with no experience and took on the elf single handedly. Needless to say, he was outmatched, but as he lost blood from his mortal wounds he tacked the elf and pulled him into the depths of the circular entrance tower, drowning them both.

Godspeed, old friend. You will be remembered.

I've been building a new marble done to top off the meeting hall tower and spa, and my giant eagles seem to be ecstatic about it. Besides flying around it and inside of it fairly often, a good number of them will occasionally meet to perch on top of what's been built. Here's hoping that they'll make the eventual roof their nesting perch

HFS spoiler below!

Finally broke through the HFS chambers. I didn't want to divert my army from guarding the 3 intrances to Flarechannel so I sent my siege-breaker Ducim to hold the tunnel. I wasn't expecting the sheer number of demons that came out though, I was thinking maybe 10. Still, in a glorious battle between Ducim and a huge hoard of demons, surrounded by the babbling insane kinsmen of eons past, Ducim took down each and every demon without taking a scratch, his pure steel armor stained with massive amounts of demon blood. The martial trance probably helped.



Ducim also got his first taste of defending against a human siege (Human liaison finally met his end to a goblin ambush, exactly on the border of the map). Currently he's got 608 notable kills, so he may still beat 1000 before he dies.

Also, more updated wide view of Flarechannel

Leftmost tower is the finished (ish) magma storage. Middle tower is almost complete and holds decoration workshops. Right tower holds the spa and be start of the dome. The spiral staircase to the right of that is now fully extended upward, and there is a bit of improvement on the jail. Everything else is being done underground.

Obligatory holy jumpin' Armok on a unicycle. *Applauds and raises mug* Cheers to you, you crazy, beautiful fellow.

You're still playing the fort? I thought you had semi retired it.

[QuantumSawdust]

I'm still playing it at a somewhat reduced level, but my previous attitude was more of "I'm probably never going to complete the last goals on my list". Which is still a fair possibility, but not looking near so bleak as it was. The cavern is going faster than I thought it would, and my ideas for what to do with it are more concrete than they were.

[Mraedis]

I thought you'd reached the maximum level of awesomeness but you are still pushing the boundary!

[KylonOrina]

What "cavern" is this?

[QuantumSawdust]

What "cavern" is this?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It will house the catacombs, Moon Temple, lava, bone pits, and undercity. Maybe some other stuff. In these shots it's probably about 25% dug out, I still have another 14 or 15 z-levels to remove.
