Tried in 40d16, but my marksdwarves walk right up and then they and the Satyrs just frolic around a bit.

My military dwarves must have gotten too much sun!

Edit: Some investigation leads me to believe the following:

The ethics of my civ do not allow me to kill neutrals? entity members? In any case, Satyrs [can_learn] and [can_speak], the only reasons I can see why it would not be possible to kill them :/

Booze raining from the sky on a GCS? That's Armok angry, that is.

It must have been because I was making a drowning chamber in my entrance hall, rather than a magma chamber.

So I began playing the Dig Deeper mod, as I was looking for more Fun. I certainly found it.

First fortress, I embark. There's a chasm. It has giant termites. Five seconds later, said termites have wiped out my embarking party. I was impressed.

Second fortress, I embark, and two years later I get overrun by orcs. I could never get a military up, because my losses against goblin ambushes were too extensive (first squad completely eliminated, second squad reduced by half, third squad had barely trained up when the orcs arrived and my traps were woefully ineffective).

Third fortress goes reasonably well for a year. A GCS is spotted! Oh noes! But it stays away from my fortress, so all is well. Until a barrel of ale appears on the mountain top near the GCS. A dwarf goes to fetch it. Urist McFool dies. Urist McCurious goes to fetch Urist McFools body. I forbid everything up there, but it is too late: The GCS has been lured to my fortress entrance by the dwarves going up to fetch dead corpses, socks and most importantly: The Booze of Doom!

I think I'll keep playing this mod. It's great fun!

A suitably deep latrine will be usable for decades, if not centuries. I believe a six metre latrine can serve a family of five for pretty much a lifetime, if not longer.

I like the sewage system too.

[G]entlemen pack your bags were going to Washington State to Help Toady.!

Some migrants have arrived.

Bay 12 Games has run out of booze.
Today One, the Great, is throwing a tantrum!


Should I bring my suitcase, garment bag, or both?

Washington State has turned into a Barony!
Toady One, the Great, has been promoted to Baron!
Washington State has turned into a County!
Toady One, the Great, has been promoted to Count!

Need more migrants and HFS!

The blood should stay. Chopped off limbs might be okay, but flying limbs are kinda unnecessary, as are flying bodies collapsing into lumps of gore. I mean, dying is enough at that point.

The alcohol should stay. However, for accuracy regarding that it was a process used to clean water, it should be renamed to reflect this. After all, people didn't drink rum as a substitute for water: they drank beer with a strength between 1-4% (Couldn't find the english name). Dwarves might be able to drink rum, wine and strong beer in large quantities, but humans are not quite the same :p

The fantasy elements should be reduced.

Trading should be optional.

Ambushes, sieges, etc... should be optional (it already is, right?).

Can't think of anything else in particular, right now.

Trees/plants/farming is for little girls and elves.

Real dwarves eat Elephant steak in titan blood sauce

Working on that, but it's Giant Eagle steak with Frogman sauce. Not quite as epic.

This might not be a bug. It may have been that the Dwarves took over a human town during worldgen and their mountain Holmes got took over by humans. Trading places. then the dwarves would not be able to take any booze or underground seeds and therefore couldn't send any

No and...

Maybe the dwavren homes were all destroyed or tooken over but they had atleast conquered one dark fortress/city/elven retreat to allow them to survive and be picked for as a home civ.

No.

They have one dwarven mountain home and it is nowhere near any underground rivers or pools. I don't think dwarves *want* to conquer retreats or human towns.
