Don't worry, someone will fix that.


Nice to see it's still going.

Guzzled booze? This happens? A referance to something having to do with polar bears? It is undead, that makes it all much more suspicious. Has anyone been doing any naughty modding in a succession fort?

I just had a picture of the corpses lounging outside and guzzling our booze just waiting for the fort to self-destruct.

That's basically what seems to be happening.  I actually got essentially this same message about 10 times at various points.  They also like River Spirits apparently.

It only seems to be the polar bears.  You would think at least the Dwarf corpses would do it too.

Bears have a token that makes them guzzle booze. Apparently, it carries over to undead ones. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

I find this set of statements extremely amusing.  And thanks for the most excellent update, Catalyst!

I think the fort being functional is a good thing to happen after, ya know, there were only two able dwarves in the whole fort, whom took up half the dwarves living here. Besides, some overseer is bound to go monsta and kill off 71% of the fort. You've got to bring it up to mark it down.

Yeah, I can't go berserk if there's no one left to kill, you know.

Plus it's hard to build unnecessarily-large and questionably-safe machines of indeterminate purpose with only three dwarves, one of which is an infant. Just imagine how much faster accidentally dropping the fort into the magma sea will go now that there's a viable labour force to do it with!

By the way: If this fort ever survives to my next turn (20 turns from now if no one skips), then I'm making Faliday Device v2.

I actually built something like that once.  It didn't drop into the magma sea, but it did drop into a cavern.  Unless a sacrifice was made...

I didn't actually know bears could drink from booze barrels.  That zombie one's gotta pretty well preserved by now.

If I can get enough of the miscellaneous stuff done soon I may devote my last month or two to laying the groundwork for a massive magma pump - just to give a headstart to whoever cares to make use of it later.

As for the bears, looks like "[CURIOUSBEAST_GUZZLER]" is the cause (as Deathsword pointed out).  Wonder what would happen if we added it to dwarves...

Strategia's title should be "No-Legged Prophet of Cheese" now. :P
But if there's anything I learned from my time spent with the save, it's that Strategia is hardy as fuck

Am I the only one that finds it amusing that the fortress is haunted by a ghostly innkeeper with a serial killer name?

I'm fairly certain all I've been dwarfed as were babies. So a ghost baby just tore off the legs of the Prophet of Cheese....

Can this game get any better? Even better, can this fort get any more crazy?
