Done and done. Report #150; fort is over on DFFD right here. I turned on the mining labor for the 3 quasi-missing babies, for easy ID (fort has 31 babies and 28 children).

Also: Thanks for all the effort put into Therapist! It's a truly excellent piece of work (although every time I read the name I can't help but think 'SNL Celebrity Jeopardy'  )

This has probably been reported before, but I can't find it anywhere so here 'tis.

I modded my megabeasts to help them survive worldgen, and in the process I gave Titans (among other things) buildingdestroyer 2:


Fast forward a bit, and in the fifth year of my fortress I get a surprise visit from the eminent Lulo Focusedyears the Ancient Lens, Titan. I activate my defenses and watch as she approaches the entrance to my fort, stopping only to destroy a farm plot that is one z-level down through a natural clay floor:

 

The hot pink area is where the farm used to be. Note that she's one z-level above AND one tile north of the plot.

Except for modded megabeasts and Rantingrodent's graphics pack, my game is vanilla d16. It's not anything terribly bad, really. I assume it's somehow related to pathing; the Titan still needed to be adjacent to (though one z-level above) the plot. So has anyone else seen this?

I always thought he sounded fairly balanced and happy in the dwarf talks. Being self-employed I assume he does get out when he wants to, if only to throw socks at squirrels.

But what I really posted here to say, is

When i think of toady i think of a toad hopping arround on a keyboard
also
he should stay out of the light it will dry out his skin
his moist amphibian skin

sig'd.

Hmm; I just got almost the exact same thing. One crucial difference though:



Note that the waterfall tiles are as normal, but the river itself is still tiny. So it must be something about hitting the edge at that angle.

Using RantingRodent's graphics pack, and made some of my own creature raw edits (helping megabeasts survive, mostly), but other than that it's vanilla d16.

And yes, I used Reveal 2. I'm scouting for a megaproject; that's my paper-thin excuse O_0

Hmm... I get the feeling ye won't like this option, but it IS horribly effective.

Dig out a 1x2 room like so, and make a 1x1 meeting zone in the dead end. Also, make sure it's yer only meeting area. Dwarves will happily pile into the two squares, dozens deep, gaining social skills and making friends at an incredible rate. It's like a short, bearded, drunken Rugby team in a phone booth, except that Rugby teammates (usually) don't get married afterward. Of course, it also means that you hafta give up yer other meeting areas for a while, and what with the lack of space all of the marrying dwarves will decide to forgo celebrations... but they're all so ecstatic to be making new friends!

Also, the Dungeon Master will only turn up if your site DOES have special features (or if you've captured something with the [PET_EXOTIC] tag, like a dragon, I think). So if you have no features and you don't catch any dragons, he won't show.
