Bucket brigade, Hyndis already explained it.How do you get them to dump water closer to the map edges than constructed walls are allow...oh.
The good news is dwarves can't (currently) freeze to death from exposure. The bad news is that if you don't like blizzard men, you're really going to hate ice wolves.Oh, crap...
Legendary Liar: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0767.htmlExcept it works in anti-magic fields.
Plus I got a legendary weaponsmith! Only way this could've gone better was a platinium war hammer.Actually, if I recall, maces have the same stats as warhammers.
Draft the remnants and attack. If you win, great, more migrants will arrive to replace the losses. If you lose, do a reclaim and come back with more and different stuff. What you had now will still be lying about for the taking.I want to keep the last 4 functioning dorfs alive. Plus, after...one month, one week, and two days of strangling my expedition leader, the BM would likely be scary. Not to mention all the other times he's had to practice his combat skills...*shudders*
I like trying to keep my forts alive. So sue me.I'd wall off and wait for a caravan to come with armed guards. Or, you could go the dorfy rought and attack him head-on with the remaining dwarves.No reason to. My woodworker would get spooked and possibly attacked, and that would remove my expedition leader's last reason to live.
No reason? What?
Also, look at Stoick the Vast, for instance. Giant dwarves. Stoick alsoI've never seen that movie. How does it remid of dwarf fortress?Dragons fly around everywhere, then kill everything. The locals reaction is to get drunk and beat the crap out of everything.
Go ahead and make an ice tunnel to the edge of the map too for caravans. I did that when I was doing my ice palace. Put a few traps in it for the occasional gobbo squad that spawns inside and you're set.How do you do this?

I think he's suffering through just to keep the fort alive until the blizzard man wanders off.
Try:Srsly, a line in one of them was "Let's have fun with science"No, this is DF commercial.
I heard that and thought: "Hey, DF has commercials now?"Quote from: Toady One"Let's have Fun with !!Science!!"
You can't have flooding accidents with booze. Enough said.
What's my prize?
Strangely, in-game, the dwarf civ is listed as "having no important leaders".What an anti-human snub...
These guys have [DIFFICULTY:2]. Lions are just animals.In case you couldn't guess...I didn't know that.
