Seal exactly one miner in there before giving the order. If he doesnt flee , at least the fortress is safe. Alternate idea: Put fourty war animals in there to take the hits while the miner escapes...

The banshee's screams should be a non-issue now that we have 60 dwarves. They'll definitely cripple us, but good management should prevent the fortress from stalling completely.

I think Mon said that they ( it occurs to me that I'm not actually sure of Monitor Lisard's gender) closed the gates and the fisherdwarf was just lingering in an outer tunnel or something. The Spawn might have just been heading into the tunnel to pick him off, Armok willing.

I'm fairly certain lizards can switch sex to fill in whichever gender demographic is lacking on the forums. I learned this from jurassic park.

Asking for a turn may be a bit of a strech, given my current lack of free time or a house right now, but do dwarf me when you start this thing. I shall cut and burn trees like any real dwarf should!

I'll give you the instructions once my home network is back online (people are doing maintenance in my basement and they unplugged the wifi at the moment).

The way the ''bug'' work is thus: The third migrant wave is usually a large one (ten+) after which they are capped at about eleven. This total goes down by one once the unit count hits about a thousand, then scale down to zero once the unit count hits three to four thousand.

This ''unit count'' adds up living dwarves, pets, others... as well as dead ones, misguidedly. This means that a decade old fortress may stop re eiving migrants because they hat a lot of cats fucking, for example. The workaround is a script that cleans the dead unit list of basically anything thats not named. Migrants then show up. Those units are not removed from the game or forgotten, theynjust dont actively display in he list.

Please, just call it Doomedfailed or something.

Yeah, the 30k/60k target isnt going to be met through conventional means. It's going to require a complete restructuring of the fortress into an industrial food machine.

One thing, how about we keep a sizable stock of wood aside for fertilizer? While its effectiveness is nowhere near enough to warrant continued and sustained fertilization, it would help as a short-time boost of production as we near the end (about 5-10k), though this boost will only be able to be sustained for 2/3 years tops.

Wjhat we need is a multi-level map-spawning tree farm with legendary woodcutters, a minecart system for fast and efficient delivery, and a high-profile team of potasheers and woodburners.

We cant say no to crayon drawings...
