I had my first FUN yesterday.
A Goblin ambush attacked my poor mostly defenceless fort, and, after destroying the milita, started to go room-to-room killing everything they found. Activating the burrow, i called all the dwarves into the dining room and attempted to seal the doors with a wall. 3/4 walls were in place before the goblins got in.
Then, the ~80 dwarves that were sitting on theyre asses in the dining room immediatly freaked out and ran around in circles.
Some dwarves began to get into fights.
And before i knew it, there were 80 dwarves piling on about 5 Goblins.
Total Sum loss; 30 dwarves.
The tantrum spiral was...
Interesting.
A wounded dwarf, on the way to his room to await a doctor, tantrumed, and kicks a dwarf in the leg. After calming down, he goes into his room for a nap. The newly appointed sherrif of the fort decided to walk into this wounded dwarfs room and
punch his entire head off, killing him instantly.
Then, all of a sudden....
TANTUUUM SPIIIIRALLLL
Everyone in the dining room suddenly either enraged, tantrums or gets melancholy. Some suicide off the cliff outside. Most dont make it that far.
A Dwarf enters a Mood, Grabs a Rat Carcass and drops it in the tanning vats, making a Rat bone bracelet that Mencases with rat bone.
Another dwarf beats his wife and child to death, then starts on the Engraver.
The engraver, now badly wounded (And missing a foot?
) Goes to his room to rest.
and slowly, somehow, the fort begins to calm down. I immediatly create a jail to avoid further beating, but it turns out that only a few dwarves are not guilty of something, and the Guard continues to punch people in the face.
And then, when its all over, with nearly 60 dwarves dead, the game pauses, i get a message;
"A VILE FORCE OF DARKNESS HAS ARRIVED"
Again, i fail to seal off the fortress in time, and the 20 or so goblins quickly slaughter anyone in the dining room.
Three dwarves survive. A Hauler, a Cook and the Engraver from before. The only reason they live is because they are wounded in theyre rooms.
Slowly, so slowly, the goblins go room-to-room trying to find the remaining dwarves. The Hauler goes first. Then the Cook. And then a Giant Rat enters the room of the Engraver.
Immediatly, a squad of goblins enter the room. The first thing that happens is a troll Destroyes the bed of the dwarf, that the dwarf is currently sleeping on.
Then the Engraver, with one foot, bleeding badly, and broken bones, ENTERS A MARTIAL TRANCE, PUNCHES A RAT IN THE FACE and gets trod on by the troll...
And so was the end of WaterBridges.
I immediatly reclaimed and are planning on building a wall this time.
