I hope your not going into the third level caverns.... and better watch out, in our state a GCS or something of the ilk could probably take down the entire fortress.

*devise death trap that drops invaders into the 3rd level caverns and feeds them to the giant slug with wings.

The date is in the upper right corner of the stock screen, and yeah I've been using Photobucket.

Well I'm done with my turn, I will email it shortly.


Usually I'm not too happy to see elves, but this time they brought almost everything we needed... wood, barrels, and even a tamed giant lion! pawned off a bunch of stone trinkets for everything interesting they had.

Miners finally hit the magma sea

Spring finished and onto Summer,
During summer Plissken decided to go punch more camels, one finally got her and broke her spine. But with no thread for a suture we have been unable to treat her. so she sits in bed all day moaning for water and food until someone kicks her out of the bed, and she goes and gets some food and booze like a real dwarf, she happens to be strangely happy with this routine.

Summer finishes, no human caravan D:

Fall passes uneventfully, no dwarfish caravan... no anvils >.>

Winter goes on like the other months for a while, until a fearsome beast is seen in the underground caverns!


A slug with wings.. odd and luckily for us it can't fly with those wings.

Winter ends and I think I am beginning to tire of leadership of this fort... I think I will take a break and pawn it off on some unlucky bastard for now.

Final stocks

We have plenty of food and drink, and enough beds for now, overall we aren't really in any danger from anything unless we get a flying FB or a giant eagle raid.
We don't have a military of any sorts (two under-equipped dwarfs, one of which is injured.) but all of our entrances are sealable and the top two are trapped. We also have lots of admantine mined out, but it isn't much we can do with it without an anvil.
If you don't want Plissken to die just periodically deconstruct the bed she is sleeping on, she will go get some food and booze and go back to resting. If you activate the squad they wont train because the one other squad member will sit there waiting for Plissken to lead a demonstration.
Also, make sure to get rope reed seeds from the elves if possible, we are in desperate need of thread for medical use.

Ok just loaded into the fort...

And you are right when you said this fortress isn't efficient, i have no clue whats even going on here...

Eh, The barrel situation isn't as bad as you made it sound, as long as we make sure the food piles don't steal too many we will be fine.

And before i actually start playing, one quick nooby question, how do you take screen shots?

Sounds Fun, so i guess ill take a turn somewhere in the 2nd to 4th turns.

P.S lots and lots and lots of stone fall traps for defense?

So i just started a new fortress on a savage biome, and I'm a season in and already have several Sasquatches in cages. From what i can see from the wiki there is nothing interesting I can do with them, so is there any easy way to get ride of them so i can have my cages back? preferably with their body retrievable for butchering.
