Since I can't keep focus on a single fortress for too long, or get pissed that my current fort is not going how I wanted and re start all the time, I think a single thread for all my adventures on the word of dwarf fortress would be more suitable.

My latest endavour was in the shores of the minor river The Gerbil of Tarnish

which ended in disaster as I was in a 1x1 map (trying to do the chinese motel project too) and the river occupied like half the map. Plus it was full of carp. They started by devouring one of my war dogs. Soon one of my miners. Eventually all the dorfs were either devoured by carps due to their stupidity on walking on the border of the river, or driven mad/melancholic...

Addendum:

On a second attempt elsewhere, I forgot the map was terrifying. In comes a pack of zombie horses and all dwarves are running around in panic. I draft everyone but the results are rather disastrous...
As the corpses of the first dwarves lay to rot, hundreds of bats showed up. My kitties feasted upon the flying vermin, but that didn't help as the two (two?) survivors were chased to death by the undead beasts of burden...

Plus there was another disaster waiting in as my wagon had parked right on top of the frozen stream, I was working on damming the sides so I could pump the water out and recover it once the stream thawed, but the undead beasts had the best...
