Hey, can I have a migrant weaponsmith?

Name him ANGERFAIC the Awesome.

[Urist Imiknorris]

We should totally dig our fort under the temple. And I don't mean undermine it. It looks like a nice, decorative entrance.

Any chance of uploading the save? I have an intense urge to play this site.

Also, those humans have no idea how to make a defensible structure. Just look at their keep! The roof is accessible from the outside!

[timferius]

here are my thoughts. I think we have 2 orders of business here:
1. Tear down the bridge, by Armok's beard!
b. dig a magma pit at the bottom of the temple! Well, maybe after we find magma.
III. We should capture the hyena thing, and throw it into the magma at the bottom of the temple (once we put the magma there that is).

EDIT: When I say tear down the bridge, I mean de-construct it just from the base and let the thing plummet!

EDIT#2: I'm not sure how strong the fiend is, but worse comes to worse, we could deconstruct the roof on his head.

[Urist Imiknorris]

No. I see it now. We must build a fine military, a paragon of dwarven might. We must then kill the human liason, wait one year, and fend off the giant angry mob led by the eyeless hyena.

[Frogwarrior]

Here's the save.

Awesome. I'll get right to work on this tomorrow, I think.

[Urist Imiknorris]

This map hates me. Three different starts:

Number 1 had Fun with the saline aquifer (died in first summer)
Number 2 had everyone die of thirst;
Number 3 had my dwarf crushed by a cave-in during THE FIRST MONTH.

Also, saline aquifers are incredibly evil.

[ShadowRHK]

I'd like male migrant militarydorf if possible. Converted peasants work too.

For real? We need a way to capture the Humans, then save them all till we hit a cavern to feed them to the Forgotten Beasts?

[Frogwarrior]

As with any fort, the first order of business is to get some self-sustaining food production up. You decide to commandeer the local watering hole for your dining room and food storage.

This town is sadly lacking in aboveground water, and what little there is is huddled in a scant few brackish pools. JagoBallium and timferius set to work digging out some farmland near one of the pools. You plan to pierce the pool and let it spill over, taking the "Eh, screw it" approach to irrigation.


You haven't been here two days when you hear an uproarious clatter from the keep. Apparently the Master decided to go for a walk, and was momentarily flustered by finding that there was a door in his way. Rather then simply reach for the doorknob like a non-moron, he decided to punch his way through.

You get the impression that he's going to be awesome to live with.

Anticipating lots of fun with a klutzy blind demon around, you immediately set up a hospital on the second floor of the keep.


You then turn your considerable minds to the next important issue. Beneath you, a salt aquifer mocks you, covering the glorious stone beneath. You draw up an impressive plan, involving the best of dwarven engineering to create a safe path through the water-filled soil. You think you can probably carry it off with only the possibility of maybe losing only one miner.
You put it to your miners, who ask why they can't just go through the exposed limestone cliff that the temple is cut into.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, you decide it's probably time for a very stiff drink.

Naturally, as soon as you're about halfway through, you hear more noise from the nearby keep. You arrive on the scene to find that the hyena jerk decided to see this "hospital" you set up. But of course, he doesn't have eyes, so he tripped over three of the bags, ripping them apart.

You're gonna have to find three new containers. You wonder how the humans put up with this chump for a full thousand years.

Then you remember that it's because they're really stupid. One of the shopkeepers left his food out for too long, and it's all rotten.

What a fun batch of neighbors.

>.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Reclaim all the {Meat Barrel}s in the houses and apartments. Seriously, we'll get like 3000 meat.

 And Please use the temple for something. A drowning trap maybe? Theirs is a deity of rain, after all.

[Doomshifter]

Wall in the stupid demon somewhere, so he'll stop being a jerk.

Get some mining operations up and running and start fortifying the town.

Underground tunnels to everything.

[Zifnab]

Take out the doors to the buildings you want to occupy and wall them up instead.  Throw in a hatch and a set of stairs to the access tunnels that will be excavated underneath everything.

[Demonic Spoon]

Cioncidence! My current personal fort is located on a human town as well! Just thought I'd throw that out there. Looking good, will be watching, I like making a wall using the houses a bit so that you don't need to build so much, basically play connect the houses.

[JagoBallium]

Please don't get me killed before the first migrant wave 

[Mephansteras]

I'll take a migrant when one shows up. What I do with it depends on the options, I guess. Preferably a doctor or soldier.

[Flagrarus]

And Please use the temple for something. A drowning trap maybe? Theirs is a deity of rain, after all.

Seconded.

Oh, and I'll take a migrant as well...don't particularly care what job he gets though
