Yup, everything is perfectly normal here.

But hey, you got a silk factory captured either way!

Also, I curse at myself for forgetting to re-add the symbol for all those "untoward" words Toady removed that I for whatever reason kept anyway.

Nice to see things are going to hell and getting better at the same time. No, those don't cancel each other out. They both kinda have their own individual parts.

In other words, the fortress is still Battlefaileding. :P

I am glad my dwarf's squad was not chosen for door duty. This fort gets the oddest guests...

Generally, when one is conducting an experiment, it is worth noting that the observers went insane, killed each other, and then rose from the dead.
It's like DF inhaled a peanut.

With the entrance clear, the only two surviving migrants are free to enter. Kaamen makes her way inside, followed by Jorlin being chased by a terrifying entity.

Our second mood of the year. Mego is already a legendary mason, so we won't be gaining much from this. Nonetheless I intend to make the most of it...

Behold, Mego's finished artifact:

A recursive artifact door worth over 70000 dwarfbucks, which is more than the entire fortress itself! If this doesn't attract migrants/goblins I don't know what will. I'm not sure where to put this thing, so I'll just make it the front door for now.
Mego really likes his Gizogins.

Those fuckers tried to shoot me with a copper bolt. Little do they know that I am IMMUNE TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So many ideas... Must make the image in my head real... Stone... Stone is good... ALL THE STONE!

What's this? Spish is trying to trade me adamantine for my preciouses... INCONCEIVABLE! I MUST USE MY PRECIOUSES!

Oh... I feel dumb now.  I didn't actually realize you could steer what materials a moody dwarf uses by forbidding things.

Today I learned something very, very useful.

Well, I'm glad I haven't been dorfed yet now.  That titan zombie fight sounded quite horrifyingly failed.

I just realized, that golden door is going to be the first thing migrants are going to see of the fortress proper, right? Well, that's certainly not symbolic, in any way, shape, or form. Nope, not at all.
Also, why does it say there's an image of a "badass" Gizogin? Did this game suddenly join a gang when I wasn't looking?

It says that because I added "Gizogin", among other important historical figures from the battlefailed series of fortresses, to a descriptor shapes file. And one of the possible adjectives I gave his descriptor shape was "badass." He actually got two entries;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is in direct relation to the manner in which he died, as Failcannon's last-dwarf-standing: I ordered him to retreat from a horde of kobolds, and his idea was "Why don't I throw off all my ☼adamantine armor☼ and ☼weapons☼ and go streaking for a while? Nothing bad could ever come of that!"

So he ran back to his room and stayed there for a while until I said fuck it and ordered him to enter the fray once more. Turns out kobold women react EVEN WORSE than human women when some wacko jumps them in his birthday suit. He didn't last very long at all.

I can attest to the reaction of human women. How do you know that?

Oh nice... I just realized the huge advantage to having an artifact front door - if I'm not mistaken artifact doors are the exception to building destroyers!  Not only a beautiful way to attract migrants - but a relatively safe way of getting them inside!

Sadly, I'm not exactly brave enough to try that... But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't whip out a +iron short sword+ and lodge it in your chest.
