Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I dont see anything wrong with this but my woodcutters and miners will not pickup the stuff.
Their bodysize is too small, Picks and Axes are too big, Look at teh weapons and see waht their MIN_SIZE is and increase their size to or bigger then it. Or make new picks and axes for them

@ Dbuhos
Yes
the effect would be [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME] and then look at how syndromes are made

Ohh Thanks hugo! Thats funny that there so small that they cant pick them up :P

Your biggest problem is that you are trying to make a fort in a terrifying biome like you would normaly make your fort, though the strategy is 100% different.

It has to do with blocking your self off from the surface and living underground off farming until you hit the caverns.

I've been building an above ground fort in an evil/neutral biome for quite some time now, and it's radically different from the standard 100% evil embark.
First off, don't bring armor. It's far too expensive on embark, and the best it's going to do is turn a scratch into broken bones, because the undead are all grotesquely powerful. If your Dwarves end up getting hit by the undead, you can bet they're not going to last long for several reasons:
  • RNG spiting you.
  • Happiness drop amongst the initial seven is devastating.
  • Getting knocked over for a Dwarf is a death sentence.

Skip the silver warhammers. If you must embark with weapons, take wooden crossbows or copper warhammers. Copper warhammers are incredibly cheap, and incredibly effective.
If you're certain you can hold off the undead for the first few days, skip the weapons and instead bring the materials needed to make those weapons, which saves a helluva lot of embark points. This is pretty much required if you're going to pick crossbows over hammers - but I can say this, my normal embark with 3 proficient hammerDwarves was torn down very quickly by undead Dingos, and my above ground embark with 2 marksdwarves has lasted me to this day.
Marksdwarves are brilliant against the undead by the way. Build your fort (or dig?) it in the safe side, keep an armed marksdwarf or two on guard and you're set. You can even safely secure sections of woods to clear, and once your military is big enough - you can even actively kill undead roaming your map with showers of wonderful zombie bone bolts. Just make sure your butcheries are in the neutral side.

Those were pretty crappy hammerdwarfs cause i had a migrant come with no skills drafted him and he would not die!

I nominate Brightwater.
Brightwater: Community fortress of science, oceans, and animal taming-as author describes it. This is fortress journal story-but there are not only OP's part of stories but also other palyers claim dwarfs and make notes/daries/journals from their face. It's what makes this story valuable adding to beautiful writing style of Sphalerite and the idea of frotress itself.
Finally here is the link to this amusing ocean forepost-Brightwater!

I vote for Brightwater also.

Anyway a few nights ago i woke up to the strangest noise, Shufling in my room! I dident move incase it was a goblin or kobold, after a few minuits I herd my door creep open and then close. Thats when i grabed my shelf and swung but there was nobody there and nothing gone, it was the weirdest thing. Anyway now im going to ask around to see if anyone else has been hearing the same things, ill get to the bottem of this.

I'd say drop them onto the tracks, send the minecar through the course REALLY FAST, and count the gobbo bits that land inside!!

Sorta like that. I made a 20 zlevel high drop onto steel spinning disks. It also works for getting rid of children!
