Sorry for the DP, but this is a different question: I just killed the elves' diplomat so I can be at war with them since the gobs seem to be afraid of my fort (Seriously, in 5 years only one siege by one squad of speargobs, and my wealth is at 2 mil!). How long until I can expect the first siege of elves?

what's the best way of speeding up candy production? putting a small stockpile of raw candy next to the craftsdorf shops? Or putting a craftsdorf shop next to the forges exclusively for strand extraction?

just got a poisonous gas FB in the second cavern...that was composed of mud. He promptly went after the group of batmen hanging out nearby. Now I have a friendly named bat woman blowgunner! Is there any way to induce her to come into my fort?

how good is an artifact leather buckler? My best leatherworker just finished making one out of badger leather, some granite blocks an a couple of logs(Sadly was a possession, so not legendary, though he's only a bit away from it though)

......well, the point is moot now, as I MAY have managed to accidentally wash half my starting 7 into the gorge while trying to use pumps to divert the stream....(Note to self, divert stream much farther south next time)

crap, already abandoned(well, actually, used dfhack's die utility). I'll have to copy the world and run it to find that location again, when I get around to it., however, I can post worldgen parameters if you guys can tell me how...

Will water falling on a catwalk from above wash anyone off the catwalk? I have this sweet embark with fuel, flux and iron with a stream falling 8z levels into a river; I'd ideally like to dam the smaller river with floodgates for waterfalls on command to wash away any sieges that get past all the traps on the catwalk

I was looking for a good, high river embark, perfect for long, winging walkways into watery graves below, and I cam e across THIS:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


.......I'd say THATS a river. It's 50 friggin tiles wide(I counted!), and takes up most of the 4x4 embark! too much work for me to put a walkway across, but I thought I'd post this for your veiwing pleasure

my mayor is actually a dwarf who has his priorities straight! He's been mandating the construction of serrated discs for the last three mandates(and a ban on serrated discs as well, but oh well), so I'm actually gonna keep him around; he give me an excuse for glass industry, and he like silver as well, which I have by the bucketloads(galena and tetrahedrite are my most common metals)

I forget: If I embark in a salty biome, would the water in the caverns ALSO be salty? I'm not sure I want to mess around with desalinization, especially since My fort would likely be beneath a hefty aquifer....

Shakenarch just got its first siege today! Only a single (large)squad of lashers, so nothing to even sortie my militia over; I just let my traps take care of them. They hit my first line of cage traps(I've been REALLY needing some live training dummies, thank you!), taking out 4, leaving about a dozen more. A couple cross the bridge singleton, and hit my first line of weapon traps, resulting in goblin Cuisinart thanks to 10 green glass serrated discs in each one. Then, the main body crosses over. Did I mention my bridge span the caldera of a volcano? AND that I have a pressure plate set up to retract the spans in case of invaders(plus a manual lever of course!)? the leader hit the pressure plate and all but three became sacrifices to Armok! LMFAO

I finished moving the lever to my main bridge into Shakenarch(the one that spans the volcano caldera) from the dining room to my new statue garden, so I decided to test it to make sure it works....right when my bowyer decides to haul some wood from outside and is crossing over it! Good thing he was actually relatively useless...I've been making crossbows out of the plentiful iron I have, and a bonus! He discovered candy on his way down!
