We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Oh right.... It does seem to rain that crap 24/7 doesn't it...

[Hanslanda]

I like that.  It gives the place a nice feel.  Oh, maybe that's what the mugs are for!  Bailing blood out of the well. And the moat. Wait, moat of blood? Note to self, moat of blood...

[Splint]

Yeah, but blood moats are a bitch outside evil areas.

[Terrahex]

Is spearbreakers on the very edge of the evil blood-soaked zone? I could've sworn multiple times that overseers have implied blood rained everywhere

[Splint]

It's like 2/3 blood pit. I was expecting reanimation effect so I left an area to put corpses.

[Aseaheru]

heres a idea: Bloody water showers! everyone washes themselves is warm, soapy, bloody water! with occasional bodyparts chucked in!

[Splint]

At this point, I don't think that'd bother the soldiers and anyone who works outside regularly.

[Aseaheru]

no, its for everyone.


we need to build a MASSIVE emergency burrow with massive royal dorms.

[Splint]

Ehhhh.... I think we have enough blood outside on everything. Don't need it inside too....

[Aseaheru]

in a small airlocked room? thats "technically" outside?

[Splint]

16th Galena, year I have no idea. Interm Entry.

Terrahex has brought it to my attention that Talvieno hasn't been eating well since Bombzero accidently fed her some cavy stew. As such, I'd asked her to go through and toss out any cavy meat. Shove it all into a magma furnace, or something. Shes barely leaves her room anymore except to get a drink of booze when she does want it. I've also sent a request to Mitchewawa to request a small number of cavies for Talvieno, in hopes they will lift her spirits.

I must say, Terrahex has been doing wonderfully as a messenger and, for lack of a better term, spy. He had managed to slip into my office and get behind me without my noticing. Nearly gave me heart failure. I asked why he hadn't gone to the Overseer, and he said he was busy with something.

I have hopes that the requests will be heeded, as having a dwarf all bent out of shape is bad for morale.

Let's just stick with the blood moat idea....

[Aseaheru]

ok. can we use dwarven daycare then?

[Splint]

Part of this is to let the little bastards live. Daycare would entail needless deaths. We're having enough population trouble as it stands. Don't need to be killing people and starting tantrums to compound the problem.

I know it goes against all DF convention, but we're trying to preserve lives while risking them (By using a larger than average army of well trained pikedwarves with other weapons serving as reserves and specialists.) I do expect deaths from mega projects some nutter starts, but I swear to god I will beat them within an inch of thier miserable lives if they get any soldiers killed over it.

[Hanslanda]

Will the moat actually fill with blood or would we have to pretend?  I'm pretty sure murky pools get refilled by normal rain.  I've seen the screenshots with blood covered fields, but does it add up over time, or do you just get 'A coating of mountain barbarian blood'?

[Splint]

I'm sure if we figured out a pumping system we could make an actual blood moat by killing things in the water.
