Not to mention, it has patchy feathers and a short horn. It's a balding, purple, three-eyed hummingbird, probably with inadequacy issues.

As if to prove my point, it disappeared as soon as it arrived, likely crying in shame.

.... Such a shame it wasn't cycloptic.

Then it would be a One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater.

The first fort I've gone to the trouble of fulfilling the capital requirements. Built huge rooms decorated with all things sliver for the king.

Waited excitedly...

'The king has arrived'

oooh where???

...

The King is dead isn't he...

When my miner fell down a future waterfall, and broke his arm splattering blood EVERYWHERE. This waterfall was, of course, linked to the underground lake on the first cave level, in which I set up my entire fortress. I was about ready to seal off the fortress, but I needed a waterfall first.


Stupid dwarves and their darn bloody arms...

I was really hoping somebody would make that joke.

I just learned about the existance of kennels. This is why I have never tamed an animal before, or even ever had a war dog.

On the plus side, I happened to find out when I have a good dozen caged reindeer, so I can get a good breeding stock going.

I just had a decent success in a manner of speaking, but I had facepalm for the sake of the poor dumb goblin.

I just took advantage of a way to divert the goblins down the longer hallway as opposed to the shorter one my dwarves use.
I used a pressure plate and hatch combination to trick them. I had to facepalm when I saw my plan brilliantly succeed, honestly I actually had a list of ways this could go wrong. It was rather satisfying to see the goblins stop in their tracks.

Goblins: Hmmm... there's a hole here now. We can't cross this... RECALCULATING... Ah, there's some steps over here.

So much for the Goblin's Position Sense.

Built a wall -> Flying monsters attacked

Built a bridge -> forgot to link it to lever

Built cage traps -> Didn't know they work on colossus, drafted all dorfs to militia -> All but 1 crazy dorf died, who was inside. Colossus moves in to the fort and is captured in cage trap. Fort is saved, but crazy dorf dies of dehydration.

lol, been there before. after building a giant wall around my fishing/farming/wild unicorn corral. "a mountain titan has come!" I chuckle, raise the drawbridge and send in my archers. I check the description: "a massive dove with three eyes...." hmmmm. slaughter

One of my early fortresses, I tried to dig the pit under my drawbridge from the bottom up. I facepalmed when two legendary miners were buried in the cave in.

Armoursmith (well, suturer with armoursmith skill) just got a mood, which made me excited. I set up forbidding so that he used steel for the base and then shiny metals for decorations... but changed around too quickly and ended up with electrum as the base. Ah well, I thought, it's probably a crap base material but an artifact preastplate or helmet would still be awesome. So I wait...

and wait...

and wait...

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.
