Honestly, I haven't touched any version of DF past 34.07 yet.  Last few weeks I've barely had the time to even update this fortress, let alone start a new one in a new version.

...That's before minecarts. So much for my idea of having minecarts drop sand bags down to the magma sea...

It wouldn't have worked, anyways, due to a bug with bags popping out of minecarts. Once he upgrades, though, the fortress will get them automatically.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Sorry, my mistake - one of the fixes in 0.34.11 was "stopped empty bags from popping out of carts".

Hey Sphalerite--

I won't chicken out of the wooden weapon thing, even though using such a lame weapon nearly killed me.

But if there is one to spare I do request some sort of reasonably powerful war animal -- I can be one with its naturalness and run into slaughter alongside it.

<in character>
    I'll treat it well, don't worry. I'll treat it much better than all these other dwarves here.
</in character>

So yeah. Since this is an animal training fortress, I thought this might be an appropriate way to aid an eccentric.

--Obese

P.S. No you may not pull the trick of saddling me with a war whale.

I had the image of ObeseHelmet's dwarf riding a whale, brandishing a pointy stick at goblins until he realises that as long as he's riding the whale he's too far away from the goblins to poke them.
...War whales one rides would be awesome.

That is totally my character, right there. Now I'm thinking twice, and I kind of want a war whale!

And the game does say I'm a marksdwarf whenever I show up in the story. Maybe I can get some wood bolts and shoot from whale-top?

Then I might actually not be not an asset.

Just finished reading. This is truly an awesome fort.

Could I possibly be dorfed? I'd like a military dwarf (any melee,) name MagmaMan, profession Paladin. Preferably male.

Just read the whole 40 pages... I want a dorf.

Call him Mr. Anderson. I want one who is part of The Family, preferably male(Though female would be hilarious). Any skills are fine, but I want him to be an assistant to Cain, practising with the crossbow whenever he has some spare time.

EDIT: I suggest the Baron's quarters look out into the caverns, with bridges between the windows and the flying building destroyers, so they can be opened in an emergency.
Sorry, I saw you accidentally wrote closed, so I fixed it.

Diary of CoraiUnki, entry 12.1


The gods have cursed us surely, ever since this damned metal has been found nothing but death and pain have followed. I recognize these goblins from a class I took at the mountainhome, these were elites. This fortress has not long to stand before we are tramped by the impending greenskin boots. I will bring it up with Cilob about increasing the military and increasing the safety of the forests. Mainly through walls strategically placed for elves to take cover in should this horrible tragedy to happen again.

I dearly should learn to use a axe, I am not letting this fort fall. Not as long as I can hold a axe, sword, or crossbow.

Entry 12.2

When did I write this, diary? I dont remember writing that!  Thats not my writing. Haha! Im sleep-writing for something, ha ha!

I hope this gets updated soon; it's starting to get annoying.

"Oh, look, Brightwater's got new posts!...Nope, nothing interesting." The only change is the occasional neat diary entry.
