I've actually traded a lot more with the elves than the humans lately. I get loads of bears, booze, logs, and barrels from them while the humans bring shit.

For some reason it takes my doctors months to apply a plaster cast. My Captain of the Guard needed three (courtesy of the horrific goblin weapon known as the iron whip). She lay in the hospital for a year waiting for the idiots to get the casts on before finally just getting up and leaving without them.

It's been ages since I've played fortress mode...almost 2 years. I decide to get back into it by building on a cool cave I found and cleared of its hydra occupant with my elf adventurer a few months ago. The dwarfs touch down a mile from the cave so there was a lot of hauling to do ere the monkeys come and steal all our shit.
Apparently everything in the caves hate dwarfs with a passion, since trogs, crocs, and giant toads come boiling out of the caverns as soon as I set up. Even the underground horses come up for a little ass kicking. I had a guy with weapon skills and armor set up for spelunking though, so no worries. He dies to the first trog. Fortunately, Risen (with a funky i) the Smith rises to the occasion with the spare axe, coating the cave walls with blood.
Door construction was interrupted by a giant spider while Risen was napping, with two casualties. The last one managed to kill it before bleeding out though, so the dwarfs have been safe for the past year aside from the occasional troll.

I don't know why I stopped playing this game.
