Listen, um, would anyone mind terribly if I staged a mass suicide of the remaining living individuals in the fortress and reclaimed? Because I honestly don't think anything of note will happen this turn unless I do that, but I'm fairly new so I want to get your permission first before doing such a thing.

Generally reclaiming is only smiled upon if everyone dies. It's only okay to tear down the barricades if you have a wacky plan to murder everything outside.

(Protip: Magma, water, and combinations of the two are useful in this regard!)

That would be a horribly evil, yet possibly tactically advantageous action.

Well yes, I realise that usually forcibly engineering a reclaim would be seen as terrible weakness of character, but at this point, the trade depot can't be accessed, the two adult dwarves refuse to mine despite no obvious cause for them to not do so (they're willing to take on other tasks, such as masonry, and there's an unholy clusterfuck of Forgotten Beasts chewing on the walls beneath us. If my dwarves would mine, I'd see this as merely my biggest challenge, but since they simply refuse to mine, I see it as hopeless.

Oh, also, goblins just murdered an incoming human caravan. Not that I'm complaining - it was pretty funny, actually :D

EDIT: Oh, and Sand Raiders just killed the hobgoblin caravan.

open some hatches and pull the levers in the lower rooms, worst case scenario, the beasts kill you. best case scenario, the skeletal giant eagles kill you.

Opened up the floor hatches. Robocorn, you're the last man standing.

Wait, scratch that, you're missing all of your lower body.

EDIT: Wait, make that everything beneath your thoraic vetebrae.

SECOND EDIT: I hope you weren't too attached to your right arm, either, because it's certainly not attached to you anymore.

THIRD EDIT: Welp, time to reclaim.

Really? Weird, damn bugs, sorry to hear about the mining as well. I think it might be the custom workshops.

I apologise profusely, but in that case I'm going to have to forfeit. Without the ability to reclaim, I honestly don't trust my ability to rebuild the fortress from scratch from two active dwarves and no miners. I know my limits as a DF player and I'm just not that good.

Sorry for failing, guys :(

Will someone claim this doomed, buggy fortress?
