Dear Goblins,

Your business is very important to us, and we thank you for your continued support to our economy. We apologize for the inconvenience but Gravesabres is closed for renovations.

Please find enclosed coupons for free magma baths.

Thank you and come again.
-The Overseer

P.S. If you would be so kind, please stop torturing that poor human trader that you found. The screams are very distracting.

The year is 260 and the Vampire Queen has been locked away in her quarters for further deliberation.
She's been around since year one for sure, as it says shes one of the first of her kind.

And man shes proving to be a massive pain in the beard.
Toy boats. Toy. Boats.
Friggin stupid nobles ><

what military skills does she have?
epic ones I'd hope

Sadly She seems to be only dabbling in wrestling, striker, kicker, dodger, and armor. And only great in a handful of conversational skills.
How the heck did she get the monarchy AND a Kill list a mile long?

This is no laughing matter.
First,cast her into a room.Make sure there are vents into it and floodgates that are lavaproof at the beginning of the channels that connect to the vents.
Vent lava into it.
Fill the whole room with lava.
Wall up the door.
Place one of every trap outside the door of the room,and then make the hallway leading to the room collapse.
Never dig it up again.
Last of all,just forget about her.
She's dead.

Arent I missing several hundred feet of lead and a constant patrol of adamantine-eqipped dwarves?

Being the queen she must be the source of vamparism in the dwarven holds.  Shove her down a well with spiked bottom and create an army of the night with her pure blood.

 

Dear Children of Gravesaber-

We understand you do not like to be naked.
We understand you do not like to be shoe-less.
We understand you sometimes you get angry and punch a certain Legendary Weaponsmith in the guts, making him stop working to vomit on his forge. Repeatedly.

This behavior will no longer be tolerated.
You are right next to the clothes pile- Put some damn clothes on or you will be relieved of duty.

Permanently.

We mean it,
-The Overseer

P.S. Yes. Go ahead and tantrum all you want. Our local axemen would love the practice.

So, I'm finally getting around to starting a new fort, now on 31.13! World genned, embark selected, carefully prepared, all right!
But there's a bunch of questions I can't go without asking about the current version...and some things I just plain forgot and can't seem to find out via wiki. So humour me!

Firstly, do Caravans still arrive without wagons? Do I need to make my entrance hallway three tiles wide, or is a narrow passage equally functional?

Secondly, are the Dungeon Masters finally back in, or shall I just have any exotic animals used for marksdwarf training on the spot?

Thirdly, speaking of marksdorfs; Is military equipment working a little better now than it was before?

And for the fourth, something version-independent: If I hollow out some tiles next to a murky pool, will the rainwater still accumulate in there and flow over into my reservoir, or will a floodgate-less approach merely lead to rapid evaporation?

And the fifth...ah, yes! All I can see in my [c]ivilisation screen is the Ant-Men. But pre-embark, the tab-window spoke to me of elves, goblins, dwarves and humans. Is the s[c]reen so empty purely because I have not yet received any visitors, or am I actually (almost) alone out here in the wild?


Gentledorfs, I salute you!

In attempt to answer some of these,

1) yup. no wagons. Theyll go up and down stairs just as easily as dorfs
2) As far as i can tell, DM is still bugged.... alot of the time ya dont get it.
3) I.... dont know... I havent managed to figure out the military stuff quite yet xD
4) It can, however if its too large then evaporation will occur quickly. a floodgate probably is your best option, if not just for the extra control

But then we can give those Dwarves their own "Reign of Fire"   

Currently on level 9 of my glass tower fortress, and a combo of FPS and general dwarf stupidity is slowing the glass block production to a crawl ><

Just as Im starting the jail/FB-storage and handling wing (complete with self-destruct/ jailbreak lever). Next on the list are the residential pillars.
