EDIT: Lolwut.

You mean the savegame I put in the PM I sent you?  Or the link to the same save I put in the OP? :-P

I suggest that he meant "lolwut" as in "haha it's my turn already!"

Just one step closer to my turn... Humorously, I would have had the 13th turn on both hellcannon and Swordthunders, but unfortunately the curse of Failcannon struck before I could and I'm not coming on the 13th year in Hellcannon. If it had, it would have been something akin to killing the one fort while trying to resuscitate the other, one 13 years after it's birth, and the other 13 years after it's death. Fortress necromancy.

I hope the next 9 attempts fail so that I can achieve spectacular triumph.

Alright, here's an update. I finally managed to get rid of those goblin bowman loitering around my front door. Unlike sieges, it seems ambush parties won't leave normally. Sadly my expedition leader has been severely injured, and my chief medical dwarf was on break, my soap maker was being lazy, and ultimately it looks as if she's gotten a number of infections. Then again, my beekeeper is still alive and kicking, in fact, he actually overcame his infections somehow, so maybe there's hope.

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.

I would say to try creating a vault this time, a miner or two, two masons, a dweller, and two militia to hold off anything who attacks before you're ready. Bring enough food and drink to sustain the dweller, and seal him in. While waiting for the caravan and migrants for reinforcements, see what the 6 left behind can do before falling.

^ that won't work, coffins are useless, some random dead dwarf gets randomly assigned to the coffin, or a ghost claims it.

Well everyone, here's an update: the fortress proper is secure down to the flooded layers. I will now begin trying to figure out what the hell the various levers do. May have some FUN today.

Weren't you going to do your own reclaim thread?

Let's see... I'm going to guess either an FB spawned right beside the wagon, or he's making a bee-line straight for the fortress interior with everything his expedition can carry while the coast is clear... TAKING ALL BETS!

Yeah. I'll get around to writing that, sorry.

Day 1
As soon as we arrived, a great terrosaur appeared, with a vast many scars on its body, including a giant one to the face (ironic). We quickly grabbed what we could, and ran for the newly made "Migrantopia." No casualties, except getting our pig tail fiber socks knocked off and a yak bull being torn apart. We managed to reach the desolate place and hid inside.

Day 2
So we've picked up some of these here dolomite mechanisms, and all this random stuff that only Armok himself would be able to sort through. So I've designated our architect to build a drawbridge on the quintuple. The other dwarves elected me as broker, manager, and bookkeeper, but I can't do anything since there isn't an office in this Armok-forsaken place. I'll have some trees cut down immediately...

Day 8
Haven't had a chance to write for a while. We haven't seen nought of that Terrosaur, although we can hear it's screeches. The trees still haven't been cut, and we're all very busy. Will write soon.


This is how far I got last night xD
Still alive.

17th of Felsite
Whoa. Was Granite that long ago? Anyway, we found Mego the Third's body today. He was partially a skeleton, but his blisters proved his identity. We plan on giving Mego a memorial burial soon.

So you've managed to get a foothold, been chased by a demon, found the remains of the previous guy AND had one of you dwarves murder another?  Seems like a pretty quiet start.


I'm not at all surprised there's a stray demon or two about though.  I... may have forgotten to close off the Oaktree Spawntraps before I flooded Hell with magma, so there may have been a demon or two technically on-map when I abandoned the fortress and therefore able to ambush you.  On the plus side, those Terrorsaurs don't have a dust attack, they just beat the crap out of you.
