More importantly than all this: Have I died again?


Edit: Also my towers are not "broken". They are stunning and elegant and totally as I intended them to be. How dare you belittle them, dying goblin!

I like how our main healthcare professional is completely and utterly indifferent to the unconscious patient waiting for medical care. Deal with the unholy monster [Edit] Get someone else to deal with the unholy monster [/edit], have a drink, do some architecture, have another drink, then maybe see if the patient is still alive. Repeat until medical emergency is over, one way or another.

I was having issues getting DF to work on Linux (Ubuntu 12.something), but I'll try again this evening and should be good to take a turn.

I believe Cutey will appreciate the glory of Meng's architectural triumph+Triaxx2/Wastedlabor's continuation of my perfectly not-insane designs.

Right on top of the hospital and temple there are two drains for manually pumping in rainwater. There's no anti-flooding mechanism tho.

Why wouldn't we want to flood the hospital?

Is this save for me? Well I’ll try to get around to it.

Yes it is.

Do old saves work on 0.40.01?

Almost certainly not, but you could try a test if you like....getting new migrants would be pretty awesome. Plus since 0.40.01 is brand new, it's likely to have the usual fun set of bugs. Probably best to stay on the old version until we breach hell and kill the fort emerge victorious, then do a new fort in the new version once it's working reasonably well.

Edit: At some point, I'll do a retrospective on 20 years of Moltenchannels....since we've now reached that milestone.

Worth noting also that Urist McKiwi managed to die four times in 20 years.

Three times actually. The second one legged it (actually renamed to McZombie, then renamed back to McKiwi IV) with a wheelbarrow of stolen treasure. Possibly the most sensible of our overseers. Can you make sure my fancy armor/sword gets passed on to McKiwi V as well? They've been used by 3 of the McKiwi's so far, and I'd love to set this up as a tradition (unless V isn't a swordsdwarf, in which case the sword can go to someone dashing enough to use it properly).

Edit: Pocket guide to McKiwi's:


McKiwi 1: Drained by a vampire before I ever took a turn.

McKiwi II: Not very dashing siege weapon operator. Learned necromancy from a book stolen from Udib, left fortress with stolen candy leaving behind "Undead decoy" to seek a life of prosperity and not getting killed by horrible abominations.

McKiwi III Dashing swordsdwarf. Originally naive, but eventually became an actually competent leader. Somewhat immune to the possessive effects of McDuck. Tried to expose Udib's scheming to the King and her protege shortly before her death. Completely co-incidentally, unless McKiwi IV decided to keep the letter, everyone she told is now conveniently dead. Died of old age at the same time as UristTheGreyII. Quite dashing indeed.

McKiwi IV: Promising new recruit in the militia (actually a re-renamed McKiwi II) picked out by III as a successor before her death. A fairly normal soldier, with some leadership abilities. Died horribly and painfully in battle just now. Not especially dashing, but probably managed a moderate sprint at least.

Mad Meng: Honorary McKiwi for services to bees.
 

HAH! I knew that giant bushmaster was an excellent purchase. Did it kill any of them, or just weaken them?

...too bad we couldn't save it though. Guess we'll just need to buy some more from the elves. There's a tigerman pastured at the West Gate near the trap corridor that you can also bring in as a reinforcement if you need it.

So our king is slowly going insane, and we've gained a cult. Fantastic!
