Is... uhh... *clears throat*

Is that a massive room full of coffins?

I really hope he's burying pets in that fort. Oh god do I hope he's burying pets.

Being dwarfed really is a punishment in that hell hole... no pun intended. Assuming most of the coffins are filled that is.

Let's hope that's the only one which doesn't allow pets... Please, let it be so... I guess I should be happy for getting out of there when I could...

By the way, how many legendary miners?

You all turned Swordthunders into a bastion of madness that seems to warp in on itself under its own hatred of sanity.  I'm so happy!

Everything but the last three rows.  Took me AGES to get ahead of the corpse curve too after a few initial "fun moments".  That entire cavern was dug out when i started the fortress in case i needed the graveyard space.


And there were three.  One died somehow died in an exploratory dig of a candy spire (despite my telling him to dig ramps so he could get out).  Another died in the hospital because of an accident.  There's one left though.

Those demon spawn traps of Oaktree's have actually worked better than expected so far - I've only had a single demon attack since i set a few up.  They generally either spawn well away from the current building site, or inside one of the traps.

Congratulations Oaktree, you broke the random demon spawns of hell.

Glad to have helped.  You made the simplest implementation of the concept possible.

For the caverns my equivalent to the nooks are drawbridged on both ends and have side corridors with their own ditched bridges.  The side corridors are spike trapped and I put a door (going nowhere) at the end.  Connect to cavern and wait for FB to wander in to destroy the door.  Close drawbridge to cell and spike to bits.  Rinse with magma if beast had deadly blood, dust, etc. Repeat.  (Or simply lock them in and leave them there.)

I presumed something similar would work for demons.  But you just used it as a distraction to keep them away from your workers without needing to add all the bells and whistles to make it lethal to the demons.

(I also seem to recall a previous forum post that implied that if you kept a single demon of a group alive (presumably trapped somewhere) a new group would not spawn.)

GOOD GRIEF SO MANY DEAD DWARVES D:

Damn, well I guess I should up the sacrifices.
I think 4 fortresses and a packet of Doritos should suffice.

...Does anyone smell something burning? :D :D :D

I notice that girlinhat's dwarf is listed as being creative. Sounds right. But Necro910's doesn't list a preference for magma. Something wrong there.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.

Spycheck with a water pistol? ... or a raging torrent unleashed from the very heart of the mountain itself!


Anybody ever wanted to see kraken styled on the Watcher in the Water lurking in the caverns lakes?

Flood them WITH MAGMA.

If he survives, it is me. If it is not... the spy has been spychecked.

MMH HMM MMMF!

You'll take the random dwarf I picked for you and LIKE IT!   :P

I can disprove that.  I've seen two different demon groups wandering around Hell at the same time.

That looks like this kind of random number generation.

Actually, it was more "there's a dwarf carrying stone to one of the wall stockpiles, they'll do."
