So I decided that since I've updated my ADOM mod and that I'm very bored, I think I'm gonna try to recreate the Caverns of Chaos in a dwarf fort, obviously the chaos gate needs to bean artifact door.

Well sometimes horses, and I assume donkeys too, get poop in their vulva (some mares have a vulva that extends out too far or is slanted outwards towards the bottom, trapping feces that falls in, its a common problem) and being as they cant get it out, they sometimes get an infection, which may incite flies to lay eggs (only if it progresses to tissue necrosis I'm pretty sure)

I'm thankful that my two mares never had that problem!

Eric you are banned. You are banned eric

[King Zultan]

Why are we talking about this?

[Imic]

why

[pisskop]

Well you see, sometimes the mommy horse and daddy horse love each other very much.  And sometimes they just cant express that love the way they used to and they want to rekindle that love.  So they . . . .

[Imic]

WHY!

[King Zultan]

That makes it worse, and there's probably someone that thinks that kind of thing is sexy.

When McUrist Blank, legendary animal caretaker, is socializing with the drunk dwarfs in the tavern, they will howl in laughter and in disgust.

Ours too. Its only our gelding finding ways to cut his legs on things that aren't sharp. I have a habit of skinning my elbows on countertops accidentally, so I can sympathize with him.

I am so sorry if that was too much info guys...


But anyway, my fort has expanded into the third caverns and I'm digging what I hope will become a waterwheel power generator loop from the only edge of the map where water can enter, then I'm going to establish a tree farm up above in the enormous solid space below the eastern half of the second caverns (I'm guessing the great 80 z-level chasm in the middle represents a transition between cavern biomes from the mountains to the west to the swamps in the east, which are much lower in elevation? The other caverns don't display elevation change this but maybe they ramp down slowly.) Almost everything has been moved down, and I've decided to go with communal bunkhouses shared for the non-noble dwarves because it's easier and one giant room full of 100+ beds with different owners and a couple cabinets and coffers actually counts as a very nice bedroom, plus anyone spending time in their bedroom instead of the tavern will actually talk to other dwarves and thus socialize. If we can get those water wheels going maybe I can run a mist generator for the tavern...

I decided to ditch the CoC idea, because I got bored.

[Naturegirl1999]

What did CoC stand for?

What did CoC stand for?

Caverns of Chaos.

Many projects going on simultaneously:

Trying to breed elk birds. Got 2 females and 1 male holed up in a nice underground pasture with nest boxes but the eggs keep coming out infertile and it's been months. I am starting to question whether they find him not good looking enough or whether he's into other types of elk birds >.>

I decided fighting a fire breathing forgotten beast with my whole army of 6 squads, including the the female axe lord I renamed "Thousand Dogs" Degled, due to assigning all dogs to her. However, she slept throughout nearly the whole ordeal. In the meantime, one of my other female axedwarves who became mother thought it was a good idea to have her child tag along. Due to incendiary problems, he saw at least 4 people die in front of him. It was a bit of a tough fight since I believe the beast racked up kills in the first cavern where it was sealed for a few years and loved to swim around. His mother also caught an infection that later on took her life while carrying him along. I decided to name the child the "Scarred One". I can't wait to see what he'll be up to once he grows up. Weirdly enough, neither his father nor his sister seem to pick up his mother's job, so the baby is just roaming the outside and inside of my fort.

I decided that I really wanted a waterfall. Going from my small river down to the first cave, I thought that it would be fine to let things just happen and I ended up flooding a large portion of it. Rewinded to an earlier savefile quickly. I need to find a way to drain the water and I thought maybe building a channel up to the map end, but I can't dig on the map end. I'll have to get creative somehow.

At the map edge, smooth the stone, then carve a fortification there. Water will drain off the map.
