My mayor fits into this category. All of my mayors. I ignore mandates, all day, every day.

Unfortunately, it seems things have only gone from bad to worse, as this new mayor keeps demanding items we haven't the slimmest chance of producing. The old mayor, rest her soul, mostly just wanted quivers. Plus, she was a comedian and a legendary miller... :( It's too bad her bedroom was accidentally walled off.

If you get a crappy mayor you can just replace him in the nobles screen. Atleast in my game I can. I know hes supposed to be elected but I seem able to replace them with whoever I want for some reason... But then I'm not sure if nobles in my game are working right. I have a 120 dwarf fort with some massive number of created wealth and about 30k exported, but still no baron.

I've never had a baron and this is my first successful fort, but I'm not complaining as they seem rather useless from what I've seen on the wiki.

So my fortress has been stalled for 2 years because I can't fill my water generator with water, which I need to power my pumpstack. I initially estimated this project to take 2 seasons at most, and I wanted to achieve this before the river froze in winter. How wrong I was. At first I decided to be lazy and fill it with buckets and dwarven labor (give all those useless idle dwarves something to do). Unfortunately my fort is built a rather long way from the river, so it was very slow. Then two goblin ambushes came, and after losing about 10 bucket hauler peasants before my military arrived I decided this was too risky. so instead I decided to do it the hard but safe way by making a very long aqueduct. This required construction through one of the caverns. I then lost another 5 peasants to a troll and a cave crocodile. So much for that being the safer alternative. right now I am on the verge of a tantrum spiral. The cavern has been walled off and all construction suspended while I try to get happiness levels up before I lose 90% of my dwarves. I swear I will complete this goddamn generator even if I have to reclaim this location.

DF Modding / Re: Dwarf Therapist (LATEST 0.6.10 3/15/11 see first post)

I have encountered a bug, dwarf therapist thinks a few of my dwarves are dead when they are not. These are 4 military dwarves I sent to fight a forgotten beast with poisonous vapors breath attack. They got infected and were sitting in the hospital rotting and spewing miasma for a few months. However they all fully recovered except now they are all blind. I'm not sure its something to do with the missing eyes or the fact that almost every bodypart on these dwarves was wounded. I can provide the save if you want. I have also noticed that DT thinks that caged dwarves are dead aswell.

Deciding to fight a forgotten beast on the long thin platform I had built across the underground lake. I wanted to meet it before it got into the stairwell to save the civilians, but unfortunately I lost 3 of my best military drwarves as they promptly dodged or got knocked off the narrow bridge to drown. The FB also killed another 2 before it was taken down. I would much rather have had the beast slaughterer a few civilians and interrupt a few jobs than lose half of my crack military squad in which all my best dwarves are assigned.

So some migrants arrived. I figured that it would be something like 7 or something, the usual sort of small band of migrants.... My fortress population went from 14 to 40 in one wave... Though they DID bring some new tame animals, luckily. I don't have a hunter and the only meat I've had for a while was bought from a caravan and cooked into meals (I actually have quite a few of those left too).

When I get a megawave of migrants I usually draft all the talentless slobs, equip them with goblinite (or nothing) and send them to fight the first thing that comes. Usually out of a crop of 30 raw recruits you'll get 1-2 decent fighters left alive after a few battles, which can then be recruited into my main military force. Great training for doctors too, and permanently injured dwarves are executed to avoid a large useless cripple population holding the fort back. Since they are migrants none of my dwarves care when they die and its much more entertaining than trying to find work that doesn't exist for an extra 30 unneeded dwarves.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Dorf Bath Help! >,<
« on: May 12, 2011, 03:41:44 am »
The last time I tried to create an automated dwarf bathing system failed miserably. Unless something about blood has changed since .12, attempting to bath dwarves results in endless duplication of blood creating a massive bloody torrent instead of cleaning anyone.

My system had a waterfall going through grates on the entrance to my dining room. I would NOT recommend this as it is simply a blood production machine. If anyone figures out a cleaning system that actually works I'd be interested.

Things were going well in my budding fort of 45 dwarves until I decided to drain a murky pool down 7 layers to create a well for my planned medical area. I have no idea how this happened but somehow my idiot thresher dwarf decided it would be a good idea to jump down a 7zlevel chasm. he has no mining labors and theres absolutely nothing to collect, so I have no idea what he was doing there, but he probably got swept down since he splattered blood everywhere before there was water to break his fall and then promptly drowned. my best weaponsmith also decided it would be a good idea to try and retrieve the precious socks and so managed to drown aswell. I had to deconstruct the well resevoir to get the dead dwarves out of my now contaminated well water, which then had to be drained. So now I cannot complete my well until the next rains come.

Its a reminder that fun is always lurking around the corner, even in the most seemingly harmless tasks. Had I been draining a river instead of murky pooln what was an annoying inconvienience could have turned into a catastrophe.
