95: normal games pit you through a set story, stock enemies, and a set of levels, in dwarf fortress you are pitted through a randomly generated story, randomly generated enemies, and randomly generated worlds, spice with insanity at needed

Nothing is happening in Tworampart. It's year five now and I've had no sieges yet, despite being at war with both goblins and elves. Just one measly ambush. It's driving me crazy. I've built practically everything there is to build, all that's left is a magma pump stack that frankly I don't even need and perhaps an improved cistern, or maybe a mist generator.

It's a vanilla world, default world gen settings, and vanilla DF. I thought the lack of metal might make it more challenging, but no; I'm pretty sure my fort is invincible, but I haven't had a chance to test it. Grrr

raise your wealth and trade a crapload of stuff, sieges should come in no time.


here at rock of ages though, we mauled some kobolds and some flaming skulls, the landmines dont want to be in their pastures, and I tried to pull the lever on some elves but couldnt because of the dwarves actually being busy.

I will be soon at sieges though, I should stop trading for a while, and I should also start my metal industry with only tetrahedrite.

the fortress of rock of ages has been quite content lately.
A migrant wave has been arrived and jobs have been given while others drafted.
Barracks and everythingpile is already finished
Rock of Ages has admired a fine pre-packed supersoldier millitia commander lately.
Rock of Ages has taken joy in the slaughter of kobolds and local wildlife.
Rock of Ages has been thinking of making a burrow lately.
Rock of Ages is traumatized by rich kobold thieves.

To preserve kobolds, you need to mod your entity raws to allow the butchering of sentients.  Then you can butcher the kobold corpses and make kobold meat and prepared organs, which will last forever on a food stockpile.  Otherwise, the kobold corpses will just rot.  Sadly, the secret of making preserved meat, that will last forever even when not in a stockpile, is only known to the subterranean animal-person civilizations.

This works too :]

Also, wouldn't using the kobold corpse as a building item for something like a modded in display case make it possible to store it without it ever rotting?
Museum of Kobolds :0

From what I recall, using an object that can rot as a building material results in the building deconstructing when the item rots.  So you'd have to preserve the kobold corpse against rotting somehow before you could put it in a display case.

*secret mood*

barrel armor! it wont rot!
and has an engraving of itself on itself

you could also demake their carnivorousness and make them farmers...
but of course pitting them forever and feed them invaders is a lot more reasonable.

on legends: "filter on string"

then you have to put a random dwarf/human/elf name or lastname, since they dont have a proper langauge

:O :D
I really like your style... even if it only exists because of that tablet not being there

cru- im not that insane

What could you possibly mean?

Crutches? Crumpets? Hmmm....

Crumbling, because the miner channeled on a 10z drop over the dining room, killing him and the other dwarves who were magically ALL eating at the same time

oyea, dual fort seems to be going
