During the first winter my armorer went secretive and produced an iron shoe. I now have a legendary +5 armorer and acces to a fairly large quantity of adamantine. Hell of a way to start my first go with the fortress defense mod.

[Musashi]

Whenever war prisoners thrown from the execution tower reach the spikes pit and explode into ludicrous gibs, sometimes ending up on structures way above the ground. 
Also, gentlemanly glove-slapping fights.

That's a good idea. Not sure what to do now, use my captured goblins for target practice + drowning or throwing them to bits. HMm. My Marksdwarfs could use practice.

As an added bonus, from what I've understood, that's one of the only way to get goblin bone thanks to the numerous body parts, because of that, I got a few artifacts encrusted with goblin bone. 
Make sure the fall is around 10 z-levels high or so, and cover the landing ground with spikes to lower the odds of survival.


@Magentawolf: ... the 614th destruction of Beachstoker?

[Mr. Argent]

When the goblins walk into my line 'o' cage traps, that always brightens my day. that, and when a caravan arrives.

Really? I've never splattered any goblin, but I'm sure I've had goblin bone bolts. I think you can use bone from rotten goblins.

Huh... seems there's an ongoing debate on the matter. Some people still appear to be surprised whenever I mention goblin bone bolts, others are studying what is it exactly that allows a sentient's bones to be usable, and some others struggle because of the hordes of useless rotten corpses around. *shrugs* All I know is that I've always had execution towers like that, and that it appears to be a good way to get... err... more bones.

It's probably a yearly tradition by now! I need to check that out in Legends mode..

[Iados]

when i got 6 masterpiece engravings in a row

EDIT: 12 masterpiece engravings now! 11 of them from the same dwarf

[Zidane]

Zefron, My badass dwarf champion with hundreds of kills to his name. He hits an object with his steel pick once and it just flies off into space. Nothing is as amusing as a dwarf decapitating dragons with a pick.

Since there are so many moments of evisceration, let's add one more moment of heartwarming.

Eshtan Tosidalzat starts tantrumming due to her mother and father and baby brother and several friends dying to a forgotten beast. She tantrums less and less, and when I look at why, it seems that her younger sister has been talking to her in between the destruction.

She then gets put in jail when a semblance of order is restored, but a day before being let out, she gets elected as mayor.

The stories this game can tell are ridiculous.

[Barakahzai]

I just love it when my dwarves get medieval on goblins with warhammers. It's like playing pinball.

Also, on a related note: how in the world do you check combat reports? (I'm still pretty new at DF)

[CapnUrist]

When the elves first come about, and they have something large, dangerous, and already tame enough to chain up outside.

And their screams when the crossbow bolts start flying.

EDIT: "An animal has become a war Giant Leopard."

[ch00beh]

Press [R] to open up the reports list.

[Maynot]

Lock a door that a pet or dwarf is going to head through.  They run into it and fall over.

[FrisianDude]

Haha, nice! That really made me laugh because of how silly it is. WHEN do you lock it, though?

[cog disso]

My badass three-legged attack bear, who has more kills than anyone in my army. I built him a Royal Tomb.
