Embarked in The Hills of Tightness. . .

[tsen]

I was looking over my starting seven. Usually I just make sure there are two I can immediately put into military training, but I decided to go for the gold and check out mental attributes too. A bit of checking later, I realized that the one with the best attributes to be a doctor is also has the highest physical attributes. $#@%$#. Then I realized that while I normally split the medical tasks up and embark with skilled doctors (I don't use danger rooms or huge amounts of traps) this guy has the best stats for everything but wound dressing. $##^.

Next I realize that the expedition leader candidate also has the next highest physical stats. $#%#%^.

It's great to have high quality dwarves, but does all the talent have to be put into a isngle dwarf?  ><

EDIT: Apparently we're from "The Flesh Hallways" and our group name is "The Ring of Rawness"
...
EDIT2:  $#%#%.  Embarked, checked adamantite tiles. Didn't believe the result. Ran reveal. 7 Z-levels, one vein, 200 or so tiles. /cry /cry /cry  The site is basically perfect otherwise.  Volcano, forest, sand, flux, access to other civs. Robbed! So robbed!

I had it all planned out. I'm building an agricultural-economy fort, so at the top is a gianormous stockpile for prepared meals, the level below that is the kitchens, the level below that is dry-goods storage, and the level below that is the farms and seed stockpile. Very nice, very neat, very efficient.

I knew going in that I might someday want more stockpiles, or a minimal metal industry or whatever. So I said to myself, "I'll just extend the fortress downwards when the time comes, and I promptly forgot all about it.

Now the time has come to expand downwards, and … what's that I see? My main high-pressure water pipe runs through the next Z-level down, right through where my stairwell would go?

Facepalm.

I was getting bored of my outdoor village fort, so i decided to build an excessively massive glass dome ceiling to stop buzzards from doing their occasional shenanigance. I decided to do it by creating up/down stairs on the inside so that my dwarves could build the glass, bla bla bla, it comes time to destroy the stairs. I was afraid that some of my dwarves would be dumb enough to destroy the stairs they're standing on... THEY DIDN'T!!!! instead i forgot that destroying stairs creates a stone, which falls down onto the village i was trying to protect... IT was LITERALLY raining BRICKS!, thankfully only cats were injured in this

[FuzzyZergling]

Wait, but I thought falling items couldn't hurt things?

[Corona688]

Never had things injured by falling things.  Either that's new, or, those kittens were mutilated by other means.

I just got my first forgotten beast, Oxut a giant three eyed Aphid with a cracked red exoskeleton and deadly spittle. It was pretty much one shotted by a mushroom blowdart from an Olmman. Anti climax no?

Putting the levers for my waterlock which feeds my vertical water drop into my hospital well next to one another. Thanks to not carefully puling the right one, my off duty soldiers now have a room to fish in...

"Why do I even have that lever?"

[Icee77]

Well, i started a new fortress and come upon a group of elephants. When i looked, i saw they were undead elephants. Commence utter pwnage.

[twilightdusk]

Suffice to say, I now know why it's important to locate frozen pools and set them to restricted traffic.

[Knarfle]

My mayor was a siege operator. I just had a liaison explode. WHY do they insist on standing directly in front of the ballista?
