Hang on. You're trying to build stairs down to the ground, in an area where you have ice walls but a non-ice floor? This sounds an awful lot like something I've noticed on my many glacier embarks: I can dig stairs down through ice just fine, but when I get to the LAST layer of ice before hitting rock (i.e. I have a rock floor and ice walls), the dwarves just leave a hole instead of digging stairs and all subsequent attempts to build stairs in that area, no matter what material I select and where it is, give me "cancels blah blah; cannot find path". I've always had to use ramps to get down through ice because of this. Once you are down there though it's no problem. Try digging a second access down using ramps, dig into your stairwell, build the stairs, then wall it up again. Did that make any sense?

This makes no sense at all but i can confirm that it is true - i noticed the same both in frozen aquifers and in glacial embarks. Use ramps and channels to get to the lowest layer of ice.

you know, dwarves die, that's how it goes. so it goes

be sure to fire your CotG

How do I fire him? the only option is to replace him and "nobody" isn't a choice

"Leave Vacant" in an option iirc


EDIT: also, you can understand that literally

tell me about it. I have had 4 adventurers killed by the same goblin. he has full steel armor and a silver whip. I always kill his whole crew then he kicks the crap outta me.

Become a superhumanly agile and strong legendary wrestler.
Bash him to the ground with a charge, grip his throat, choke it and srtange him. No armor saves from this. After he passes out, you can do whatever you want.
That's 3 wrestling moves and most likely he will have a chance to make an attack or two, thus you should have some armor or good blocking-dodging skills or at least some willpower not to give in to pain instantly if he chips a bone.

Well basicly the idea is:
If you play nice then good arean are safe and tidy... if you start doing baaaad things like killing off wildlife ne masse, mass deforestation and/or abuse of magma cannons... then sooner than later the whole area will rise against you... trees would become ents and attempt to siege the hell out of you. Maybe some good titans and local elves could join the struggle to get rid of you and your dorfs.

Hey why shoult ents and titans wait until you mass deforest land, kill everything and make magma cannons out of their ash and bones? Don't they read the forums and don't they know for sure that you are going to do that anyway?
Instead, every log in your wagon should be animated and start crushing your dwarves' skulls at the very moment of their arrival!

By the way, does bronze colossus throwing yours dwarves and dogs across the map count?

I think good areas must be hostile toward dwarfs even more than evil ones are. Dwarves are definitely not good - They dig, they build huge aboveground structures, they burn forests for coal, they maim the land in every way possible. Forces of good must fight them until the last dwarf is crushed under the toppling debris of their last fortress!

Actually it would suit fluffy wambler more to demand elf bones from your. So that he can no longer be so spineless
