I just got...

"The Armored Uncertainty"

...very dwarfy indeed. It's never certain if the military will arrive at the battle or prefer to have a party. And armorerd they will be, as I just struck some lovely metal very deep down.

But my good sir, the second death was for Dwarven Science!

"The Long Guards"  Is my current fort's Fortress guard squad name.  Pretty good.

Also "The Heavenly Scales"  and "The Fangs of Gold" Which also aren't bad since my guys are dragonmen.

I TOLD YOU MAN
I TOLD YOU ABOUT BLOCKADED LANCERS

Probably my favorite military name has been "The Eviscerating Axes," which was, fittingly, an axedwarf squad. I gave every one of them the custom profession of "Eviscerator," save the militia commander, who was "Chief Eviscerator." They all died to a jelly-opal humanoid with deadly dust.

The Weapons of Vanquishing. The leader's name was Atish Beradtul. He had sixty-eight notable kills and a named masterwork adamantine short sword, although judging by the closeness of his name to "beard tool", I rather think it wasn't the sword that killed them.

We were hoping for a constant fort at some point, having players in different time zones so that the fort never actually stopped running.  Come back overnight and find a giant penis has been constructed.  Glory to the penis gods.

Paper Defenses. Not mine (someone mentioned it somewhere on forum), but hilarious.

Dwarf Fortress - where the primary reason to prevent death of your citizens is that it makes them more annoying then they were in life.

My latest squad is the Biting Dragons. The Biting Dragons and the Passionate Swords both have very dramatic names.

Bodice appears in almost all of my squad names. "The hollow bodices" "The armored bodices"
I think the only time I have ever heard the word "Bodice" is in Dwarf Fortress.

"The Coincidental Whips", a metal armor default uniform junk squad.  the squad leader and at least three underlings picked up whips and are now master lashers.  The rest of the squad is being moved to lashers.

A three year old just made an artifact doll from the skull of his dead kitten. I can only assume the mind control lasted past death.
