Hit "Prt Sc" on your keyboard, go into MSPaint (photoshop, whatever) hit "Ctrl + v" and save it, upload the pic, and then link it in.

Protip: alt-prt sc only captures the window you are currently using. It's much better.

You misspelled my name! May Armok have mercy on your soul!
And no, I didn't look at the page,
And I see what you did there with brave dwarves,
And how does it offset Golems?

I did? where?

If you look at the page, thems dragons be tough. Very tough. The golems are like lesser bronze colossi. Sure, we may need a horde of them to take out a cobalt dragon, but otherwise, we can substitute them for dwarves(Well, except for the trainer) in dangerous situations.

Existent: Adding you to the turn list...

Urist(andfhe) has been added to the list of suicidal morons brave dwarves.
Alright, we've got two, just five more signups until we begin!

Anyone who likes a fortress that isn't actively flaming all the time? I don't think Armok can save you from that.
Although Dwarf Fortress is all about fun (losing) though which dragons are.

They don't all have fire, did you bother looking at the mod page?
Besides, it offsets the awesomeness of the golems. Severely.

EDIT: I have added some basic rules and added gender to the dwarf sheet.

That's a lot like this system, except for caravans instead of nobles.

Consider this situation: you have a caravan that runs from your fort, to the human town, to the elves(where they steal everything) , to the mountainhomes, and back, but the caravan never returns. You ask the mountainhomes what happened, they say the caravan never showed up. You ask the humans. They say that the caravan showed up and traded with them. Hmmm, who stole your valuable merchandise?

The enemies in Dwarf Fortress aren't nearly sneaky enough. Sieges, ambushes, thieves, and babysnatchers, they all have to come through that front door. My suggestion is to give them more ways to get into your fortress, making them more of a thorn in your side instead of, "Oh, look, a siege. Pull the lever!"

-The first step would obviously be to de-solidify the brooks. I don't know how many times I've dug a short channel from the brook into my fort, without digging into the surface of said brook. Since invaders can swim, they would swim through and suddenly you have a band of goblins climbing up your well. Would only work with short distances, and grates would serve as an early warning system(i.e., you discover them if they try to remove a grate, or if they succeed in removing one.)

-Caravan deathtraps. Basically fake caravans, which you get if you rip the elves/humans off one too many times. The goblins would hide under the wagons, or inside the cargo. Everyone in the caravan would be armed. When the caravan reaches the depot, the goblins pop out and/or the entire caravan attacks your fort from the inside. They also light the caravan goods on fire, which were already worthless. Could also be a random thing when your fort is extremely rich.

-Digging would be extremely obnoxious, but also obvious, because when a person is confronted with a wall of stone in real life, they don't just sit there and wait. They dig. And a sieging army would probably have one or two picks anyway.  Ambush squads with miners would be capable of digging into your fort or if left alone long enough. Their digging would show up on the map if the tunnel is discovered by a dwarf(With a zoom announcement, such as,"One of your dwarves discovers a tunnel that wasn't here before."

-  Trying to assemble constructions to get over walls.(I put trying here because, let's face it, who can build things when you have a bunch of ballistae aimed at you?)

-Destroying natural resources(Overfishing during sieges, deforestation during sieges, setting the forest ablaze as they leave, etc.)

I use THIS and a keyboard.

It's kinda hard to hook up, due to the fact that you need to press both reset buttons at once,(the one on the mouse and the one on the usb) and they're both rather small.

I believe it should be in the stocks screen, press z.
