Behold, the reality-devouring gator of doom.

Strange thing is this about the 3rd-6th instance of the game crashing after the fort offloads meaning that the previous attempts at forts and retiring them and unretiring my main character, those didn't have a gator of doom but something else is in the play here plus my other adventurer is still bugged and considers that human settlement he started in as home (at least he stays/lives in my fort), probably some bug caused by him being a companion for the main adventurer as the main one considers the fort I've built home. So, I tried a few things as Kothir (male minothar) to find around this issue and nope.. nothing worked and everytime I go to that human civ's village, Kothir gets possessed by AI and just stands in place and the only way to move is to jump but then the AI walks him back to the place I jumped from.. really fucking odd (travel mapping out of there is the only way to get out). Doesn't happen in the lord's building though, just in the hamlet.

Yesss, accept your manly tears. Or you know, your need to not have dry eyes.

Well, I'll make my minothars able to have tears again since regular minotaurs do and I am playing a compassionate female character after all currently and in the future I think when getting back to fort mode I'll figure out how to start with a kobolth civ exclusive to myself. Kobolths can still be killed but their bones are of a very tough material and they heal fast overall, basically I wont need almost all of the DFtool tags enabled and I can rest easy knowing that even when the fort's retired those kobolths won't die of old age and don't need to mess with alcohol, food and sleep and all they would need is having a full set of metal armor on and in a way be dwarves in their own way by mining and building.

Kobolths are basically my super "slave" race for drogoths/minothars and to those who don't know: I always play games as they were not meant to be be played originally.

personal artifact steel greatsword (divine stainless steel) and call it "Atlantean Sword"

And unto this, Droggarth! Destined to wear the jeweled crown of The Aquiline Dominions upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell you of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

Heh! Yeah, finding such an artifact crown would be a treat too. That movie though gives goosebumps to me to this day, hence why the first thing in terms of swords I ever wanted to use in adventure mode was a steel greatsword and once I got one I was kind of disappointed that yet again some LOTR mithril analog is many times better but then again steel is strong, admamantine is much stronger but willpower is the the strongest of them all.

What the.. it just now occurred to me that my minothar being is basically an altered-on-steroids Hell Knight monster from the original Doom games (they used to be partially hairless minotaurs and not Doom 3's abomination that has no flesh on mouth/jaw area).

Means I won't have to create a new creature if I wanna go on a hardcore hellish mayhem as a 'Hell Knight' because I've already unknowingly have a similar creature in it's place.
The only problem with that is that I have no idea still how to make goblins and demons friendly and every other civ hostile as when I play this sort of thing I want NPCs on the good side running scared or be brave or stupid enough to try take my character down.

This is more fitting

Yeah, I can't argue with that. Loved the ending theme of that episode, an episode where this quote from Warhammer 40k fits:
"If the path to salvation leads through the halls of purgatory, then so be it." - Ahzek Ahriman of the Thousand Sons

EDIT: Actually, that quote fits for me too as in my mind I was:
"If I manage to slog through to get this structure done in fort mode for my adventurers.. then I can relax at least."

Aw, crap. After retiring my fort again as I needed to revert and do a few changes, one of them being so I could do dancing inside the minothar room/temple of Ak the draltha goddess of nature and water. Point is that one human visitor who stayed near the area got killed by an alligator at some point and I only found out by finding her mangled skeletal body just outside the fort and by storytelling about it to dwarves which clarified what killed her and good grief does that npc woman have about 6-7 entries of things to tell stories about, the poor woman was married too and there's a husband waiting for her return probably and I'm gonna have to bring him the bad news.

So yeah, since the lass was near my fort for quite long while.. a little role-play travel to her husband's home to deliver her remains and tell what happened is in order.

And I thought DF would become kinda boring after I've built housing for my two minothars and 10 dwarves (3 came and joined the folk, had to use DFtool on them to ensure their survival.. should've attempted/used it on the human visitor too but, meh). By the way, kryptonian dwarves and minothars FTW! *cue the original Superman theme*

It was a pocket world.

Might as well be a pocket dimension the way DF works. *insert Dr Who theme here*

Joking aside, here's proof of the fruits of my labor:

The two pink/purple 'M' icons are the minothar adventurers of mine.
