<Stuff i said>

It wasn't the fire.
It was the GIANT SHOCKWAVE OF THE THERMONUCLEAR CATSPLOSION!! It crushed them against the ground and trees and their equipment and even themselves!
Every instance of a thermonuclear catsplosion is awesome by default. Regardless of the results. No, especially because of the results.

Yes it was both awesome and facepalm. Melted !!cats!! and ashes and !!fire!! and !!dwarves!! everywhere.

Glorious, isn't it? One of the finest forms of glorification of Armok there is.

[Ipwnurmom221]

Yes. So glorious. Only the reclaim of that ideal embark zone was slightly inconvenient.

Radiaoctive !!xstray cat pancreasx!!?
Or just fire everywhere, including the brew-filled wagon you brought along?

[Ipwnurmom221]

The latter. So everything non-flammable that i brought along was useless. I reclaimed without reloading the game so the new cats also melted. But this time there was nothing to ignite by way of molten cat. So i'm just catless now.

[breadbocks]

A word of advice? Farmplot designations put out fires.

This is actually on old one, back from just after the switch over from 40d:

I had started up an adventurer and gotten to ok level stats.  I walked into town and asked for a quest.  I was told to seek out and kill a demon in the same town I already was in!  So I did some recon, and it turned out the warlord had asked me to dispose of his lawgiver.  So I snuck around until after nightfall, when I walked into it's hovel (not quite the grim palace I had expected) and tried to kill it.  All of my weapons glanced off without leaving a scratch, and I ended up throttling it.  Then, my companions turned on me.  I fled town and tried to come back later to talk with the warlord who hired me to sort it all out,  but he turned on me too.  I guess he was making himself the hero there...  I went to the dwarves and got a couple of them to folow me, but when I returned to extract vengance on the warlord they would not help me.  They just stood around and (presumably) laughed as the entire town beat me to death in the meeting hall.

On the up side, I think I took the warlord down with me; I forget though.


EDIT: Whoever gets post reply #3000 better aknowlege the fact.  No double-posting to get it though.

Just noticed one of my swordsmen got his title..... The Carnal Lighting.  He then ran out and got cut into about 10 pieces by an all female goblin ambush squad.
edit* Just facepalmed again, zoomed out to look at a full map view of my current fort and due to my stockpile placements, walls, floors, and the dead and blood everywhere my entire above ground fort looks like a giant head puking dead people and blood.

[Organum]

Y'know, some people strive for that kind of architectural wonderment.

[S31-Syntax]

I just had to abandon a young fort because NINE of its twenty-five inhabitants were THROWN INTO THE MOAT by A RACCOON. and a tenth was beheaded by the same raccoon. One of them was my axedwarf. The rest are tantrum spiraling into oblivion.

-headdesk-

P.S. The raccoon has a name now, it got named by my people. I'll look for it in legends.

EDIT:

End result was the death of 15 dwarves. 1 by beheading, and 14 to drowning in the moat. All that drowned were pushed in by that damned raccoon and his army of deer. One of them was a child that was held in place in the water by his leg.

I didn't realize that you couldn't remove slopes on the edges of maps, I only learned this when a goblin ambush appeared over my entrance.

He probably came from Narnia.

I was lucky enough to notice that the last bit didn't get removed. I walled the edge in question off, only for the mason to trap himself on a 1x1 cliff behind the wall, right before an ambush.

My most recent facepalm is not realising that upward ramps can be dug from above, despite having done that before, and losing two dwarf years because of that.

Having a prisoner, chained up securely, go beserk, and thinking that'd make some good practice for my marksdwarves, who I'm not very good at commanding.
So I station them across the room from him, designate them all with crossbows and bolts, and they wander in, run up to him and start thwacking him with their crossbows. *facepalm*
And then he kills one, and badly injures two others (guts popped out, fractured lung... He slightly wounded another too, I think) before one of my heroic dwarves gets there and beheads him in a single stroke. *double facepalm*
Damnit dwarves!! Going beserk and killing everyone is only okay if YOU'RE one of my favourite dwarves!! D:<

Also... chaining fearsome beasts in front of the fortress entrance, only for the next ambush to be composed of archers... *sigh*

HA! 3000.

[S31-Syntax]

HA! 3000.

I don't get it.
