Where do you get inspiration? Is it from medieval 2 TW or something similar?
 I get lots of inspiration from Medieval 2.

The crossbow squad, 'The Bolts of Fleeing' wouldn't even show up.
I have an art blog now.

I guess something I often have scratching at the back of my head is "The Masque of the Red Death" my Edgar Allan Poe. Usually turns out similar to.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

Rule my fort with an iron fist, every dwarf is expendable.
I don't allow idlers just standing around, everyone has a job and if they have no job. Its stone detailing and engraving for them.

Totally changed my avatar after finding that picture, seems fitting now.

"WE REQUIRE MORE MINERALS"

^ My DF play style in a nutshell. All about the gathering and hoarding of food and resources. I have no clue what to do when enemies arrive/tantrum spiral begins, and frequently lose forts as a result.

Found the macro for my original comment.



In addition, I made a peculiar leap of logic today that I felt was worth noting here.

"Hey, my dwarves are eating all the meat and tallow and getting fat..."

Normal thoughts: "... I should recruit them into the military so they can get more exercise."

Proxian's thoughts: "... I should mod more vegetables into my game so they'll eat healthier!"

Amusingly enough, I did a Wikipedia binge on those guys a while ago, so I already have an answer for you. They're giant isopods, deep-sea relatives of the common pillbug. (the ones in that picture are probably dead; they tend not to do well out of water)

Naturally, Japan has already made plushies of it.

Japan: Like Dwarf Fortress, but with less magma and even more bizarre (somehow).
