A Gigantic sauropod arrived, with a huge belly. I should beware it's deadly dust.[/QUIOTE]Emphasis mine. Some dust attacks are treated like cave-in dust, blasting everything in range around. Since the creature is itself in range, it also blasts itself about. Fighting one of these with conventional military is going to be a disaster (all melee dwarves in range suffer cave-in effects every time), unless you can hit it from range with bolts/ballistae.

Such dusts can also be poisonous or necrosis-inducing, as in your lizard people.

Lol, took me a minute to find your post

My first phone was nokia and it dropped on the floor repeatedly since I wasn't used to it on the cabinet next to my bed. It survived untill I fell into a river (long story). Even then, the phone still worked, but the battery didn't last more than an hour or so.

The ericsson I got after was destroyed by a raindrop. Literally. It seeped inside the casing and caused the thing to short circuit.

Ftfy

Lol, these are great.

I once had a tundra Titan appear, well, my baby cried at the same time, so I *thought* I paused it, and ran upstairs to check on her. I come back to seeing the titan corpse being hauled off.

Checking the reports, my 4 hunting dogs kept latching on firmly in sequence, one after the other, while my very green 3 Marksdwarves placed iron bolt after iron bolt into its lungs.

It eventually suffocated. Those guys should've gotten an automatic legendary for that, lol.

Brand new world.

But it's ok, the moment they attack my dwarves seem to know what to do...

You know, I was going to comment about the same thing.

I just noticed there's an engraving of a Dwarf on the crown.

It cannot be unseen.

My current world seems filled with goblins from what I'm previously used to.  I unfortunately only have nickel on my map, and I play with a minimal trap policy and I refuse to shut myself in.  My 2nd siege was pretty big, but only 1 elite bowgoblin thankfully.  A passing werepig crashed the party and took on the bowgoblin squad, delaying them long enough to spread out the attacks.  He didn't kill any of them, but they took forever shooting him.

My 3rd siege was brutal, it was 6-7 squads, 3 of them ranged and 3 elite bow goblins.  My crossbow heavy defense was pummeled and my paltry 8 unit axe squad only partially equipped in armor couldn't withstand the onslaught.  I will have to revise my building plans if I want to keep playing with the front doors always open.

Being very honest here: Please, please, PLEASE embark in a terrifying zombie biome and chronicle your open door policy there:p

I'll be rooting for you all the way

Maybe he's a necromancer. Saw a post about on of them moving in and eventually his ghost brought down the fortress in the facepalm forum :p

Heh. Trollfish. Naw. Anyway, I thought vermin fish (like shad) disappeared when water levels grow too low?

(shrug) Not for me, anyway. My dwarves came and collected them. I'da gotten a pick of that, too, if it hadn't been for the cats...

And ya, I like my waterfall, lol. None of those corpses or trolls actually made it into my fort... They all dodged the dogs stationed in the entrance and fell over the waterfall :-D

EDIT: Of course, if it was a different type of fish, last time, then vermin might disappear. All I know is, they were still there at 2/7, and it was at 1/7 my dwarves came at got em last time. Dang cat. Winter's almost over. I'll try again:p

PS, fort population is down from 120 to 79... I think i just might survive the tantrum, lol.
