Also, what was the new wing for? And why did it need to be on the spikey end of the defence wing?
WHAT?! The bunker always needs expanding! How else are we supposed to make Hell a colony of our own?!

PS: Has anyone considered using the bunker as a sort of mini-fort? Make it a burrow, and slowly add "migration waves" from the fortress proper, build it up as if it's a fortress of its own?

That's a very bad idea due to the demon attacks.  Just one getting inside would be a catastrophe instead of merely a massacre

Not exactly what I meant. Military presence, of course, and an extreme weighting towards getting masons and foodmakers in, so not *exactly* like a mini-fortress, but more along the lines of just gradually(maybe 10 dwarves at a time) moving everything down there.

You don't get a hell of a lot of use out of minions when the standard training regimen outputs quadriplegics.
Unless you load the quadruplegics into catapults and fire them on the enemy.

To be fair, I doubled the size of the hellbase. And yes, I considered moving people in there but the main living area is only like 40 blocks away. There was also already a barracks, farm and food stockpile.

Kinda off topic, but, as I said earlier, I'd like to see how much interest there is for those T-shirts and know who I'd have to send information to. If you would be interested in a Deathgate T-shirt, please shoot me a PM (Don't worry - I shouldn't need any personal information whatsoever, just a headcount). Also, if you could, let me know what Epic QuoteTM you'd like on the back, just in case I need to say. As an aside, I'm planning on waiting until I have at least 5 people to put the design up, so that I know I'm not just pestering the T-shirt makers for no good reason ;)

I'll be able to give an estimate on price within, say, an hour.
E: Just got a quote. I'm kind of annoyed, although I suppose there is a lot of stuff there. Anyway, it looks like the price is going to be around $30.00 Add in some custom font, and we might see an increase to 35 or so, not sure. That said, I think it's taking the image of the logo as a solid block, so it could be a fair bit lower. Bit steep, but I, at least, would be pumped. Lemme know.

Jeez, I just remembered how much I suck at planning military defences. (although I'm great with traps) I'll make time to read up on that stuff later. And good job killing 300+ pets, Armok loves a good slaughter.

I died.  :(
But I bled to death and that's the only way to die.  :)


Could I get redwarfed as the most useless dwarf in the fortress?
Name: Blead II

That would be much appreciated.

Umm, are you guys still waiting for me? I posted my save a page back - I didn't want to kill the fort, so I'm letting someone more skilled take care of it.

I thought Velard took over.

E: Oh, and if you are Velard, close over Eldes's silly hole in the base.

Quick, check him for rum! The bastard's probably spirited some off to his lair office, to act as pleasant refreshment as his evil scheme unfolds!

OH YOUR GOD MY TURN IS HERE!!!! <remembers he has huge research paper coupled with presentation due soon> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUU


I COULD do the fortress, but you would recieve updates slower than said dwarf.

I HATE having to skip my turn so often but either exams pop up or I need to work on projects when my turn comes 'round. I'll do my best not to let this happen again. Agh...
