Before the third migrant wave. There were no survivors.

Probably the Multiplayer fort Carnes was running.  We found Upright Fun and unleashed the underworld.  It got messy in a hurry, and then it crashed due to server load (too many players).

Embarked with the starting seven fully clad in steel (value modifier modding), all legendary skills (dwarf [NATURAL_SKILL] modding), and candy picks.

Had 'em dig straight down to HFS cause I was bored.

It was glorious - they all fought valiantly for several months - covering each other while they took breaks to rest - but they finally gave in after losing a few of them.

End of the third year.  Had both a curious underground structure and a candy vein (breached the vein, left the structure).  I was well prepared, and had the breach sealed just as the first of the clowns was almost out.  It's been another half-year, and only five or so mouse clowns are still on my map, the rest all having wandered off.

Within the first year, with only 14 dwarves. (It was a reclaim, and I got greedy)

Inside of a year.  Though I planned it out... and WON.

I intentionally dug straight into a spire on one embark; didn't take long, definitely less than a year, probably under a month.

Then I walled it off and played for a while before deleting the save. I'm weird like that, I know.

Year 1, via channeling SMR.  HFS locked out by a floor hatch, but caused irrecoverable FPS death.  that map was *weird*.. all the symbols for rocks were bugged, like microcline being ĺ, and I never did find magma, just lots of SMR...

I once breached on embark, due to a map bug.

Bugged maps don't count :P

An in-game month.  I was feeling malicious and wanted to watch dwarves get killed.

Considering the topic of the thread, it might be easier to just add [SPOILERS] to the thread title and do away with all the euphemisms that have to be used otherwise.

On topic: I've never breached that place. I...I still haven't really figured out how to work a military. Shameful, I know.

I did it before the first migrant wave. Just dug stairs straight down, got to candy, and dug that as far down as I could.

The first seven were slaughtered. The first migrant wave came during the first wave, so they were quickly slaughtered too.

A long time ago I embarked on a forest retreat, because I was wondering how long the elves can last. Watching them get killed at FPS 2 was very weird...
