I onceh ad the unfortunate luck to have a chasm next to my magma source, While going to dig a rout for magma to go from there to my new fort (didnt wanna waste time and give everything time to move to the surface) I happened upon a GCS.  Man those things are creepy.

Can I go crazy and start mass-digging random corridors leading to no where yet? XD Or at least start exploratory digging.

And your miner would be a crazy cat hermit and instead of carving dwarven faces you'd have a catsplosion portrayed in the largest artifact engraving in dwarf-kind.

Its the lowest quality but its still getting mega points...

Yogg-Saron is a Carp. He is the Carp God. The ultimate metamorphosis that a Carp undergoes when it kills one million innocents.

Oh my gawd.  H'es a Magic carp...

Ah fish, Nothing like your lone hunter and his three hunting dogs all dieing within a manner of seconds due to a long nose gar.  Tsk.  I've debating flooring over rivers many a time.

Also: this is why you put al of your animals you NEED into a cage untill you have a decent meeting area set up.  So they dont roam around and cause mahem.

I know how you mean there..
I just started a fort and set it all up, Didnt even look at my crafting untill mid-summer,  Set up a craftsdwarf shop and pumped out enough mugs to get a nice anvil and some gold bars (I never start with an anvil if I can help it)

Then again that fort got killed shortly after by 20 randomly generated skeleton monkeys,  Poor military that i started out witih got overwhelmed easily.

Personally? My dwarfs are idiots.   I look away for two seconds and they all start getting chased down by zombie MONKEYS.  Let me draw you a picture.

But do they run into the safety of the fortress? (especially since I've activated (no dwarfs go outside) mode). NO they run PAST the entrance to the northern edge of the map to get picked off one by one.


But whenever I play succession games I'm not that good a writer, I just make notes of improtant things that happened during my boring rein, So what do I do? (Set to run in backround (the couple hundred dwarfs lag me to hell anyway),  Walk away for a few hours, Come back check what made the game pause, Note its date and wahts happening and unpause.) And on like that for a while.  Only when specific things needs to get done (Like those new bedrooms set up (it took freaking 10 months for 5 beds to be made, Dont trust those damn dwarfs))

*Hands a flashlight* Warning this requires about 30 windmills to power, But It should be sufficient to not only clear your fort of shadows but give everyone imediate cave sickness.
