I'm still trying to figure out how to fix the fact that a siege broke, some of the creatures disintegrated on arrival and now the game still thinks a siege is happening even though no enemy is left alive

Was looking at what will show up on a test embark, and uh...



They must have heard that dwarven forts love to put elves on wood working and wanted to get ahead of the competition?

I'm surprised, anyway.

There are still elves in the foot steps of Cacame Awemedinade.

Hire her, and make note of her actions. This is an interesting elf.

What could possibly tear someone up like that to require that much stitching.

Hmmmmmmmm

I thought deserts had tons of wind, why the reactor?
Nah, unless it has been changed with DF2014+, wind is based on latitude.
Also a waterwheel produces more than twice the power of the fastest windmill, and since I need nearly 600 power...
That's a lot of windmills  :o

Also a poison vapor spewing quadruped made of amber arrived to give me something do while I wait for the pool to fill. How considerate  :P

Well, you're fucked mate. D:

Meanwhile I'm hatching a plan to get the two confirmed werebeasts out of my hospital and somewhere I can control them.

EDIT: This motherfucker keeps either mandating bucklers, or insisting they not be exported.
Train up an armorsmith using some metal you too much of. Copper or Iron would be ideal, because if you have any you have extra.

You can melt them down to get a whopping 60% of your metal back when you;re done, or you can hand them over to the second-line militia.

The fountain pool filled no problem but I've abandoned plans to fill the moat.
Flow is painfully slow and water in the lakes isn't replenishing fast enough.
Plus a tree somehow knocked a hole in part of the moat floor and flooded my exotic war animal room. Thank goodness the animals had the sense to walk out the doors.

That feeling when you realize the animals are smarter then the dwarves that train them

You've got to hire them. Don't even care if wood-burners are literally only useful once. o3o
I did, though I dunno how to control that bit ^^;; Best way to get petitions I know is just to wait and pray, while having my mayor accessible and unchanging.

Now, I looked into legends, and it turned out they learned how to burn wood when working for Seduction of Bases, staying in a dark pit founded in desert.

Another woodburner elf who petitioned to join had exact same career path, though they were born in retreat and hated independence, freedom and quest for knowledge. Not surprisingly, both ended up Adequate wood burners...

Though a different goblin who showed up claimed to be great at burning wood, while not having any job experience on their CV. It's a freaking desert, there aren't enough Saguaros for an university of woodburners! And lets not mention the nightwings nomming on woodcutters (it's an evil desert - now normally, I'd say every desert is evil to elves, but these elves ain't terrified of anything) cutting town the lone few saguaros.

I don't think I'll keep the save long term, let alone the fort, but this is nonetheless weirdly entertaining.
Interesting. All my guests are bards, peots, mercenaries and various kinds of purple professions. Though they do have different skills, but I have yet to see one with other profession titles.
They're usually purple too for me (sans mercs, who never are). Athafi should be purple as well, since they're competent piker and adept poet, but c'est la vie

Wait? was it an elf Civ in a desert? Or a goblin Civ in the desert that had a lot of elven student's attending it's University of Ash Making?

True, though I knew they were looking to petition due to the first image of them you posted, where the visitor description said they were looking for long-term work.

If it was a dark pit, I'd assume it was goblin in origin.

Aye, with sea and 25 tiles separation. For someone who finds independence, freedom and quest for knowledge foolish and delusional, to travel such distance to learn an impossible blasphemy...

...It's like an atheist elf in Discworld. They didn't have literal tigerwoman mom, either.

That's why she went to get away from the other elves.

Of course they are likely a minute percentage of the elven population. But considering how fast elves breed, that means such individuals are more likely to occur, and they won't die of old age.


Also I made a fort on a small, 30 year world. I got a High Master Gelder  in the first migrant wave.

The expandition leader was attacked by a cave crocodile and fell into the lake.
But he managed to crawl out of the water and survived. Although he might need to carry a crutch for the rest of his life without a dfhack heal.

I had a dwarf titled the Brewmeister who was in an almost identical situation. He killed a dozen cavern critters, including a GCS, with his crutch. Then I gave him a lead one.

Don't you dare heal that dwarf.
