Clearly nobody liked you enough to give you some water :P
Or maybe you're insane...

So how's my dorf doing? Still bitching about his unlocatable/un-pick-up-able socks? Not having arms is a serious problem when you're trying to maintain a position as a respectable stoneworker.

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.

Is ThatAussieDwarf still lurking about the fort?  He seems unusually quiet as of late...

He is clearly doing some very important and convoluted scheming. As was planned.

To try to answer the various questions:

ThatAussieDwarf has mostly somehow managed to avoid all my plans to have him killed, including dodging all the Skelks when I sent him out on masonry duty.  That was actually the first time Catalyst died - when they both went out together to build the Hellcannon mouth.  Aussie was fine and went back inside while Catalyst was blinded by the sun.

Last I knew only SOME dwarves have superdwarvenly strength.  And I think Seanhl is only a wrestler until he gains some skill with his axe.  Give him time.

I... honestly have no idea why you died of thirst.  Sorry.  You might have gotten injured at some point and I didn't notice?  Or maybe I accidentally locked you out, who knows.

It's tempting to me to try to render Hellcannon in an RPG Maker game, but that would be doing Battlefailed a disservice.

skelk and skoxen would be like giant rats, forgotten beasts the first boss that always turns into a common mook, goblin raids the the war sequence and stuzang the final boss (because it kills everyone) but they all are still stupid tough and you only succeed through sheer quantity of dwarves

You didn't think he'd have planned for your schemes to have him killed?  That dwarf's always one step ahead, you know...

So, another archive update (currently being uploaded): Just finished organizing the Battlefailed section. All turns have clearly marked starts, complete with quotes/one-liners of questionable quality, Robocorn's second turn, that was very poorly formatted and mangled, was fixed. Fact: proof-reading Seth's turn is hard. At least I got to laugh at Meng the Fake Doctor as I read it.

Quick update:

It's now Autumn - I did some trading with the humans, nothing special.  I got a little extra booze variety, some cheese, fish, and spare crutches for one or two silver trinkets. 

But it looks like tragedy struck when...

Then we resumed work on the....

A hapless cat uncovered a skulking thief in the stockpiles...

The instant I opened the gates to let out a single mason he blundered into a whole goblin ambush right outside!

Catalyst cancels Construct Update: too many crashes.

Six crashes is too many for one evening.  I can say with some confidence though that I will be trading with the humans - to no great profit, and that Autumn is here, and that I think I again have a safe(ish) way to continue working on the Hellcannon.

The rest is in Armok's hands.  We'll try again soon.

Did the fort go back to 0 population, maybe?
