This isn't an anti-elf weapon, that's just a weapon.  A nice one, but it makes no difference who it is.
Yeah, an anti-elf weapon would be made of wood.

Elves should have to make san checks every time they get attacked by a wooden weapon.

Magma moats are dwarfier !
That requires me to survive long enough to build magma proof anything.  I can barely avoid flooding my fort when I make my farms!

I like to build moats.  I think they're cool.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I DO IT, I accidentally channel into the water line for the farm.  Flooding the moat before I'm ready.  Ever. Single. Time.  On rare occasion, I also channel into the fort.  Flooding it as well.  Not as common.

So I had to build a second moat yesterday.  One that works.

Still taking Dwarf requests?
I'd prefer someone useless or absurd.  But I'm not picky.

Dump it in the pit of other disarmed hostile creatures for, ah, "amusing" nobles.
Put it as decoration in the nobles room.

I have no idea how that switch got hooked up to it.

I love seasonal freezing.  When you use a stream/brook/whatever, having the ability to turn it completely off once a year comes in helpful.


Apparently my moat has a hole in it.  Right over the area my miners are farming stone.  Winter just ended so I have to wait most of a year, but I think we'll be okay.

Test run of my sky fortress plan.  The initial activity is to dig out the underground farm and a underground blueprint.

Underground blueprint went well until I realized my workshops were blocking bedrooms.  This is what the blueprint is for, figuring out these problems.  I would have continued with a real build if I hadn't ended up embarking on a weird hill.  I couldn't fence off the area properly.

Yeah, unless you want to encourage the Fun of having your military lug babies around all the time, make damn sure you're only drafting males. Me, I never even notice the difference between male and female, and forget to sex, as it were, the dwarves before I draft them. But it really might be worth it to have your army be all male, since the military leads to socializing and soon all your soldiers WILL marry each other, at which point the female ones will start cranking out babies nonstop.
Then just remove the females from the military after that and give them a standard job.  Consider her a reserve.  Or throw them into a seperate squad that doesn't use the Danger Room.

I can't fathom actually checking gender on my Dwarves before assigning them to things.  Way too lazy for that.

Don't put your Danger Room anywhere that the parents have to path near or through.

Blind dwarves?  Did they have any trouble with that at all?

Is there any particular reason that the dwarves who are assigned to plant, and only plant (No cleaning, hauling, or anything selected, only planting.) are only planting about one plump helmet every five minutes?
I hate this, too.  I've got 30 bloody Plump Helmet seeds.  They plant 5 a season...

Survived my first ambush.  This is a first ever for me.  Usually they wipe out 30+ guys.  I'm not sure I took any casualties.  I lost 1 dwarf, but don't remember it reported (3 less from when it started, one baby snatched immediately after, one thirst death from melancholy, one unaccounted).  Almost atom smashed my armorer, thankfully avoided.
