Maybe there should be some incentive for creating a tower that stretches to the heavens. it sounds like lunacy, I'm sure, but I think a lot more people would do it if there was something good waiting for them on the other side.

Bitchin'.

I missed one more, and I was reminded of it when my Dungeon Master arrived with his entourage.

I've had a massive issue with migrant-splosions in all of my fortresses, larger than the catsplosion *Both conventional and thermonuclear* could ever hope to become. All of my migrant waves have been well over 20 *My first migrant wave in one fortress was 35!!!*, which, even with huge surpluses I enjoy, cause the entire economy to nearly implode unto itself. Would there be a way to limit the number of migrants that arrive at one time? I mean, for Armok's sake, they're dwarves, not Mexicans.

What about the one that doesn't have a blue background, then?

That was a perch.

They're still around. I'm thinking of trying the floodgate idea up to the goblin capturing part. They just haven't been around.

In the spirit of an episode from Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, I decided to use all my huge masses of stones from below to go UP. I plan to make it encompass the entire Southern half of my region divided by the carp-infested river (Which has yet to claim one Dorf).
 
What's the purpose of this tower? Well, aside from experience in Masonry and productively disposing of the 20000+ stones in my mines as I hollow out the earth, none, but who gives a crap? Didn't God create Dorfs for the sole purpose of them creating Hyperstructures and giving the Irish competition?

I'm currently working on increasing the size of my residential district by a capacity increase of 32 *32 per level, 3 levels completed*, and my engravers are working feverishly to smooth out and floor every completed square inch of the fortress. Masons are working on tables and thrones, farmers are stripping the surrounding lands of all shrubbery for their seeds and fruits, and to make way for more tress, which are then cut down and turned into beds and storage bins and barrels by the carpenters (Jesus not included). I'm also working on extravagant rooms (When the Baron[ess] and other nobles arrive) and jails (When the Baron[ess] arrives). Seige Engineers are getting their practice in with catapults for when another Megabeast decides to pop up and doesn't bleed to death just as it enters the region.

Yes, there were only two Champions, and they were sparring, judging by the pink flashing on their icons. I'm guessing they were there for about half a season. I tried to tell them to patrol a site, but they still stood there in an eternal man-orgy. And yeah, their current jobs were merely "Soldier", as all champions are, I'm guessing. After all, a champion can't work! Who do you think you are, ordering a champion to pull his weight around here during not-wartime?!

I just got the baroness and everything else that came with her, and now for some reason, my Champions stopped eating, sleeping, and drinking. They've been stationary ever since the Baroness arrived. I thought Champions were exempt from the whole tax thing?

While I was coincidentally building/finishing my walls around the fortress to prevent shit like this from happening, I get this message.


The Hydra Civila Fafiresali Delado Ayilo has come!


Immediately, I called my only remaining dwarf outside to come back in and seal up the doorway with walls so the Hydra couldn't break in, and ordered my Siege Engineers to haul out the Catapults. After I gave the orders, I went to observe the progress of the Hydra, and I was met with the most anti-climactic event I've yet to see.




It died right as it came into the region...

Crisis averted fun abhorrently ruined!
