It's gonna be fun explaining the deaths of the dorfed guys to the rest of the committee.

"I regret to announce that Our Esteemed Co-member, who recently opposed my proposal, has been tragically killed by an badger. What a shame....muahahahaha! Now, for my latest idea....."

Arguedpains the depths of despair? We ARE running this by committee, after all.

Nah. We need a name that is truly epic. One that makes all who read it on their transfer papers say "right, we're dead". A name....of Fun.

Shadowy conspiracy of doom? Sounds cool.

Urist McKiwi.....Mad Scientist (hmmmm. To mix things up, a mad ecologist[/].)

Location: somewhere fun, with forest and a decent surface water supply. Oh, and somewhere wild. My ecological doom schemes require suitable supplies of wildlife!


(How can ecologist do doom weapons? Quite easily! Just breed something that completely destroys the balance of life. Like kudzu and dwarf fortress players. Or badgers.....lots of untamed badgers, ready to unleash on the hapless huddled peons of visiting caravans! Muahahahaha!)

And so the great fortress of Ardentdikes limped on.....

Great to see it still alive. It's the fort that convinced me to start playing, after about the second or third cleansing by lava.

If all else fails, just run the windows version through Wine. I ended up doing that after weird stuff happened to my Linux version.

Try untamed wilds with a cave going down to the cavern layers.

Trolls, cave crawlers, badgers, giant badgers, giant tigers, giant eagles, elk birds, giant bats.....

And that's before the FB's turn up and make right for the surface.

I heard somewhere that the "vortices of purple light" and/or "dark clouds" in the Hidden Fun Place might make an actual appearance. Not entirely sure where I heard it though.

Latest facepalm: Having an idea for a Stupid Dwarf Trick using gaseous zinc, lava, an aquifer, nobles, menacing spikes and triggered cave-ins.........but having neither a computer on which to build it, or paper to write down exactly how it would work.....so I've lost about half the concept. :(

Let's not forget the Mists of Fun (cursed mists are gonna be awesome)

Or the "enhanced experience" when breaching the HFS...which I think uses the same mechanic.

Auto-zombification of corpses in some evil biomes.
(Hi! You know that forgotten beast that wiped out half the fort last month?.....)

He got killed by a zombie dragon. The end!

...Or is it?.....

We need a thermal shock mechanic...that way we can make magma-immune FB's explode on demand in a cloud of burning infectious toxic blood/ichor/rock salt/whatever.

Bad for fortress health, but possibly a decent weapon if confined and channelled correctly.

Would'nt this make genociding the clowns easier?

Just build a ceiling right across hell and collapse it on them.

It also makes mass-farming strawberries in hell possible. Huge fields of the things.....surrounded with slade paths engraved with images of your conquest.
