Look at legends mode for a surprise...

Actually, hold on while I go find the correct save file - I zipped the wrong one.

[Bralbaard]

Trapped alone in the deep Kuchelain will be erased from the memory of the world. Through the ages the loneliness and the foul smoke curse will consume his sanity, until finally erosion wears down the walls that hold him captive.
Then the forgotten beast will emerge from his dark prison, screaming and raging, frantically searching for the surface...

THE FORGOTTEN BEAST KUCHELAIN HAS COME!

Actually, that works:

                                                                                                                                                 
       The Forgotten Beast, Kuchulain has come!                                                                                                   
     A Wandering Foul Smoke Fiend resembling a midget dwarf.
     It keeps half its brain in a leather pack and moves with absolute determination.
     Beware its murderous brass hammer!

Nice! I'd fight that. ( Lose probably, but oh well. )

[PlayingGood]

lmao, love the external memory bit.

Wow, the save is over 200 MB now.. I'll send TheDwarfyone (yes I misspelled that) a PM.

Edit: Also.. three (or five, depending on how you count) new fortresses? I've got some map updating to do..

[TD1]

Dear goodness, that's a big save.

Anyway, downloading now.

[Bralbaard]

Allright, regarding the new fortress situation, this is what I can find:

"The prairy of combinations" this is actually two fortresses with the same name, close together
"Twilightknife" another fortress
"Fiendsearch/Bodicerhymed" This is actually two fortresses on top of eachother, on top of a city. The game crashes when I try to load the area.

I'll update the maps later.

[kesperan]

Who made 5 new forts when nobody was looking? Don't break the world!

[Eric Blank]

No, we must build ALL THE FORTS!

[Timeless Bob]

Fiendsearch and Bodicerhymed were both my attempts to find Kuchulain - he wasn't under the Dune of Day after all, so I have no idea where he's at.  The two Prariecombined fortresses were the ones that got the nemesis error and that 5th one... Twilightknife?  Was an accidental 3am embark with no tools - the site has all sorts of natural gold ore at the surface, so anyone who re-embarks there should definitely plan on early smelting.

I have a feeling that the lack of "quicktravel" on my adventurer's part, as well as the line (possibly hundreds strong) of camp-fires heading north may have contributed significantly to the memory bloat.  Whichever, I didn't find any of those camp-fires in my search either.  The fiend is still listed as "living", though, so I'm thinking he might come calling at some future fortress.  Wouldn't that be cool?

[Eric Blank]

Wait, why didn't you just force-quit DF instead of saving entirely new forts you weren't going to build on?

[square]

I have no idea how much longer this is going to last, but I'd like to be added to the list if that's cool

[Timeless Bob]

Wait, why didn't you just force-quit DF instead of saving entirely new forts you weren't going to build on?

The force-quit saved them anyway for some reason.  I stupidly didn't save a copy of the original file before trying to force quit, because they usually don't save.  I suppose you guys could skip Kuchu's contributions and use an earlier version of the save (when it was @160/170MB) - we could just assume that all of that happened in the lore...
