My prison is designated as a no specific deity prayer zone so prisoners can spend some time reflecting about their crimes. It's a very nice prison, with beds, tables, a barrel of food in each cell, and even a grate with access to water.

Normally it stays empty, but every now and then a tantruming dwarf ends there after punching someone, like Thickut the Potash Maker. While trying to figure out what could we do about his unhappiness, we noticed he was somewhat embarrassed about drinking water through the floor grate. Figured it was about time to upgrade all cells with their own well.

Now, from time to time good citizens also walk in to pray along the prisoners. This was the case of one of the fort's many diagnosers. In fact, he was so enraptured, he didn't even notice a worker removing the grate under his knees.

Unnecessary to say, the poor dunked pious dwarf had little familiarity with deep water.

My current fort is a FPS black hole and I'm ok with it, but when I wanted FPS I went for a shallow volcano embark and built a goblin melter at the entrance. The biggest FPS killer is having to pause to hunt for all those XX(troll fur shock)XX to get rid of them.

Arrived to the first town as a female human spearman, worshipper of wealth. Everything is abandoned. The town suvivors (lots of goblin administrators, elves and a few human guards) are all hiding in the castle's keep. Went around the place with my dwarf axeman and a lousy human pikeman.

The only shop left was General Imports, three goblin priests hiding in the outskirts from the lizardmen and ratmen that roam the town. They had nothing except a bunch of coins. We scattered the harassers, killed a couple of them (mostly the dwarf cutting heads left and right while the pikeman was pummeled), and claimed the goblin shop. Made the goblin priests stock the chopped bits from one fallen fellow.

Now we are chasing around the rest of beastmen and stocking the shop to exploit our current monopoly in the area.

Sorry, the thread title was kind of misleading.

Ah, it does indeed work. I will upload a new file soon.

Ya know, you could have added them to an entirely new descriptor_shape file...

I failed to find good docs on how to add custom descriptor shape files -- plus I kinda wanted to just have them in current saves.

I'd rather skip maintaining the new thread.

21 months on Moltenchannels was enough.

The Ardentdikes style:

☑ Try to build a nice aboveground fortress (nevermind the maze of underground areas)
☑ Magma dikes > Magma moats (we'll count the Shroud as a dike)
☑ A device to cleanse the fortress with magma is mandatory.
☑ Automated traps that kill enemies and innocent bystanders are awesome (crab-powered forest fires, Shroud and the corpse disposal)
