More like, "Holy Armok, they conquered, embarrassed, and colonized Hell!"

More like, "Holy Armok, dead people everywhere! A ghost stole my cat!

...

Oooo are those strawberries? :3"

actually, with the workshop and habitation levels of the actual fort mostly empty, they've been overrun by the 310 animals residing in Swordthunders.

If you can, could you upload the map so we could all see it?

~~~

44 ghosts...Are they roaming in the fort or down in the depths?


They're roaming everywhere.  I'll post overview pics of Hell in a moment

Well he did receive the "The fortress attracted no migrants this season" message recently, which strongly implies that the migration function is still active. I think it's just a matter of having not exported anything in a while/caravans not even leaving the map alive.

No, I saw the dwarven caravan safely to the map edge the last time it arrived.  That's supposedly tied to getting migrants (they see your created wealth and go "holy armok, that place was loaded!" when they get home.

Well, you did at some point in the last 6-8 pages. I just read it...

edit 2: A minor -MINOR- ray of hope - the message "your fortress attracted no migrants this season" appeared.  For the first time in a loooong while.

There we go. Page 45. Well... I suppose it's not all that recent, but I would still count it.

ehehe, loving the little streak of blood running halfway across hell on level 2 :P

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

About 80-90% of those are Doren's handiwork.  She's at 374 notable kills now by the way.

I can just imagine should the fortress ever start generating more dwarves again, the amount of goblin bone crafts you'll be throwing at elf traders;P

Elf: Sooooo..... We got this giant badger, and we liekz yo mo ethical works. Please don't kill us.

Dwarf: I'll trade you that badger for this 'ere mug.

Elf: wait but-

Dwarf: THIS HERE MUG.

Also have another. And another.
And another.

Let's take a look at what the masons have been engraving on the lakebed

A. Purring.  Maggot?  I cant decide if this is another proper insult to hell, or if Mego would be due a magma bath, were there any spare dwarves.


edit: THIS is goddamn hilarious, especially the name.  (It's also on what will be the lakebed)

Dwarf caravan arrived.  I gave them about 15,000 dB worth of stuff (mostly metal trap components like serrated disks), so I don't think I can do much else to encourage migrants except maybe grabbing the liaison by the throat and yelling "SEND MORE GODDAMN DWARVES TO MY HAPPY HELL-DWELLING PARADISE!"

Oh and I've completed most of the 'D' now. Well, designated it to be built, anyway.

You all turned Swordthunders into a bastion of madness that seems to warp in on itself under its own hatred of sanity.  I'm so happy!

Welcome to Swordthunders!  Now go build floors and/or cut gems for me!
You... You want to wear a red shirt?


Been nice knowing you.

Wow, only read my dwarf now, love the characteristics. Do we have nobles?

By upload map I meant uploading it to the DF Map archive. But the pictures also work as well, very epic ones! And only now I wonder why in hell does hell not have any horrifying engravings except for the colorful pits and funny inhabitants?

Hows about the idea of opening hell to the light? Hell is now above ground  :D

Can't wait to see the SWORDTHUNDERS welcome sign.

This is a masterwork image of a troll, surrounded by demons.

I'm up to the 'H' now in 'Swordthunders'.  There's a goblin siege on my doorstep and humans have arrived to trade.  Hope I remember which one to offer goods to and which one to offer Doren and Shen to...
