I have got to say that this is pretty epic. It's cool to see "forumgoers" being enslaved and transformed into dwarves. Also I'm up for it if you want, it'd be interesting to see if I manage to accomplish anything before dying in some horrible way. :P

Thank you for your complement.  NOW GET TO THE WALLS AND GET BUILDING!

Finally, I had a thought that I found amusing:  If I conquer Hell and make it safe, considering it's apparently marked as "endgame" in the raws, does that mean I will have technically beaten and won Dwarf Fortress v0.31.25?


edit:

You get the occasional short human mixed in with them too, simply due to the resemblance. XD

You raise a good point.  TO THE WALLS WITH THE POSSIBLE HUMAN SPY!

You don't "win" DF.  You simply "outrun the Fun another year".  Every action just adds a little bit of time to your inevitable fall.

I control Hell itself, my fortress is siege-proof (as long as I remember to lock the hatches >.>) and my dwarves are all happy with engraved bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways.  My militia are psychotic killing machines with beards that don't so much laugh at demons as mock them.  And I have an 8z-level cistern full of water that I'm not sure what to do with anymore.  And I did say "v0.31.25".  I have no doubt the necromancers and were-creatures in the next update will kick my ass and bring my fortress to ruin in some !!Fun!! way that'll probably end with flooding.  Or start with it.

I tend to think of FPS and human boredom being a built in part of the DF endgame that insures that you can never win. Eventually either your fort's population will grow to such immense amounts that your computer can't handle it, or you will get bored and destroy your fort in some extravagant way. Either way the game makes you lose in the end. :P

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

That one time you forget, and a goblin gets in, and your legendary party dorf gets slain,

THERE.

WILL.

BE.

FUN.

When you make a fort Fun-proof, the game will find some way to cram Fun down your throat. Maybe a failed mood ending up in a berserk dwarf, maybe a random tantrum due to
your legendary party dorf
dying after a failed mood. Maybe an error in engineering.

IT.
WILL.
HAPPEN.

I'm not sure I understand... you just lured the demons into a checker-board shaped room and let water and lava drip down on them through the grates above..?

Not just stone, but Obsidian, the most valuable form of stone. It's often worthwhile to find a way to mix them, if only for the mugs.

Do you actually go to all of the effort of obsidian farming just to create mugs that are 50% more valuable than marble?

Wow, that's.... dwarfy.

And not necessarily in a good way.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

I do, sometimes.  I usually artificially stock them in areas, for visual flavor.  More often it's statues though.

We make stone mugs.

From the scorched remains of Hell itself.
