I dug to the other 2 tubes and no more came out

There was only about 50 in the first wave,but they're coming into the map by groups of 5 or 6. This should go down in history as the least Fun HFS breach in history

Total losses: 10
2 were useless civilians.
take advantage of your good fortune by starting a huge megaproject in hell

my personal suggestion: barnum and bailey's amazing demon circus

Actually, I once breached hell and got zero demon turnout. And I mean zero. I actually built a staircase down through the tube before a single generic panda-demon wrecked my 7 miners with the help of a sudden fire-imp invasion from the magma sea. So, it's not unprecedented, just extremely rare.

Also, OP, you know what you must do. Construct a fortress in hell. Take screenies too.

When you breach something dangerous, (for the sake of an analogy) like a fence full of angry pit bulls, the best approach is not to have ten large men to wrestle them, but to create a lure for them to impale themselves on.

Anyway, in plain dwarfish, I'll tell you how you should do it.

Valuing life seems too close to an aesthetic rule for me, I think.
Only in Dwarf Fortress is the value of life placed as "aesthetic."

They were mostly salt and stuff. No steam or anything mean like that. It didn't help that they really could only fight one at a time cause my dwarves were sitting right at the end of the tunnel. 5:1 with blue stuff kinda made it into a demon meat grinder.

Game crashed at the turn of spring so I'm back to just before I breach the tent. This might be good for !!SCIENCE!! though. I'll post pics next chance I get

in .06 i took (my very first) adventurer down into the ziggurat.  It was filled with zombie and skeletal elephants, but somehow I beat them all to death with a silver shortsword.  When I got to the very bottom of the ziggurat I FINALLY found the very large cache of masterwork adamantine armors and weapons (masterfully studded with gold, silver, and adamantine) that I had produced before abandoning my fortress.  Seriously  all the good shit was at the BOTTOM of the ziggurat.  I geared up for war, went into sneak mode, pulled the adamantine longsword from its pedestal, heard the eerie message of screams from the depths, and then.. nothing.  I resolved to delve deeper, rather than return to the surface with my loot.  2 hours of twisting hell passages later (and at least 10 z levels), I finally got stomped to death by a zombie elephant while drowning in a pool of magma.

No clowns.


PS navigating the ziggurat takes FOREVER.  It didn't help that I was checking every corner of every level for food, drink, and blue armor.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.
