Bay 12 Games Forum

My last siege, I think my dorfs took out the goblin warband leader.  In addition, their civ description says "This land has no important leaders" now.  I still get ambushes and thieves showing up, though.  Are these just ragtag groups that were already en route when the leader died?  Or are ambushes/thieves not affected by whether or not the leader still lives?  I admit that either way, I'm pleased my half-assed poorly equipped (no ability to make steel or bronze, and I almost never get enough things that I request) military has pretty much wiped them out.  Maybe.

In seven days, your vote will decide the fate of Firegears!

I thought I had invaders turned off, but no!  A giant Raven with green feathers and deadly secretions is roaming the caverns.  He currently can't get to my dwarves because there's no path for him yet...but one can be easily made.

I like my fort, but I'm getting bored.  It's in its ninth year, has 3 million wealth, 117 dwarves, and my military consists of 12 hardened individuals wearing random armor (No iron, nor flux, has ever been found).  They have a few candy weapons, an artifact spear (copper), some artifact steel leggings, an artifact cap, and an artifact bone helm.

I am fully comfortable with any of the above outcomes, and I decided to do it this way because it will be fun, and Fun.  the poll will close next Friday, and that's the decision I'll go with--no takebacks, no savescums.  The outcome will be posted in the Community Forts and Stories forum.  I could have posted it there but I was fail

EDIT:

Today is the day, but I have to work all day.  Voting is now closed, and the "Send in the Military" option wins!

I'll get to it some time this weekend, I hope.

Maybe.

About two hours ago, a kid got a Stonecrafting mood just as a HUGE (40 goblins plus critters and Lawgiver) siege hit.  Most of my dorfs died wiping them out, and this kid is STILL gathering rocks of various kinds, including gold nuggets.  He has eight pages of rocks so far and shows no signs of stopping.

I'm wiped out, but when I get up tomorrow I'll start up DF and if the kid finishes before the fort falls apart (I have 5 adults about 25 kids or so) I'll post the results.

I had an idea to describe myself as if I were an FB:

The Forgotten Beast Nyxalinth has come!  A medium-tall humanoid comprised of flesh.  Her body is chubby.  Her long brown hair is wavy.  She fidgets and squirms.  She has an aura of giving and kindness.  Beware her deadly temper!  Nyxalinth is associated with cats, computer games, horror movies, and books.

In the year 1965, Nyxalinth began to wander the earth (lol yes, I'm old )

That's just my own way of doing it, if you want to do something more FB-like, go for it.

I've had many, many forts in the three years I've played, the one I miss most was a 40d fort called Largebusts.  I had 150 dwarves, 50 elite wrestling dwarves included in that count.  They were fighting off invading elves and goblins, dragons, hydras, you name it.  what killed it was boredom.  I still miss that fort, because it had awesome memories for me, and I learned most of how to play from it.  It was 12 years old, and had 12 artifacts, most of which were craft type stuff, but there were some useful things, like a brass spear.

What fort do you miss most, and why?

I haven't been able to eat decently for days, and no one knows what is causing it.  On the plus side, I've lost 5 pounds, and I can certainly afford that.  I'm getting unhappy thoughts from the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) diet and Gatorade, let me tell you.

What are your favorite things to eat when you have stomach virus/unknown reason for stomach issues?

EDIT:  I wasn't clear.  I did see my doctor.

That goes in with my "No one can figure it out" statement.  They're all like "Dunno, stress maybe?  Follow this diet, kthnxbai."

EDIT 2:  Never mind.  This was stupid.  I'm just grumpy.

Yup, Sealpoker.  Post your crazy Necro Tower names here.
