What a Dwarf Fortress sentence

[brewer bob]

It was inevitable.

[Wilfred of Ivanhoe]

Year 38 of Heroochre

The underground ziggurat is having gold plates affixed to its surface. It'll all be inside a 30-z tall space underground with water flowing from above. I need to pull more gold from the earth.

Also, the necromancers have been pacified, and much land has been conquered for the dwarves. A new hillocks was founded after seizing the first goblin capital.

[TheFlame52]

Impressive

[Uthimienure]

The dwarfometer just hit 700, yay!

Busy busy still working on excavating the 10z deep, pillared open space above & including the first cavern.

Was working on the next chapter of Abbey of Blossoming and a Roc showed.  Fun times.  To be honest after dealing with so many dinosaurs and badgers a Roc is kind of easy....

Currently trying to fend off the death of my fort Angertrail. Flying death squads of giant pissed off bluejays are the main reason for this turn of FUN. I got a couple axe lords for that, but my hospital is flooded because I wanted a well for it. And I forget to construct a door for the upper level. And all the deaths means that my moral is screwy. The fort now has 28 vs the 34 before the bluejays messed me up. So, I guess I won't go outside anymore for my forts. It's in or nothing now.

I've started a game in a small world where I've inherited a nearly dead civ as a result of total world conquest by necromancers on one island and a coalition of goblins and demons on the mainland. The fort is in a nice untamed wilds forest/hills/mountains intersection with a brook running through it. I dug out a medium size pit open to the sky for a pasture and bee farm and walled it off. Then realized that was a mistake when the giant keas came. They stole a rope, some thread and a copper axe, several of them got hacked to bits, but one dwarf did drown after climbing up the walls and then falling off them while pursuing them.

That's the only death so far, and no sign of the enemy yet. 42 dwarves, six of those being children.

But there is an army of giant flying squirrels amassing on the northern edge of the map. Gonna have to put a stop to that as they are born adults and there's about 35 of them after only two years, and that's not gonna stop.

I made a dam in the brook near my fort. I made some small reservoirs and then made some pumps to farm on the surface. The dam wasn't secure on one side, so it flooded. Thankfully it was not that bad, and it cleared up the next time the brook froze over.



I have an artifact that's called The Yell of Contraction. It's a mug with a forgotten beast on it.



I'm in the midst of building a water megaproject, where the water is taken up and then dropped on my fort or wherever I want. I made this message as well.

It's hilarious seeing what look to be salmon swimming through your fort.

[ArrowheadArcher]

Yeah, the fish came to play in my fort. Too bad they drowned. I have a lot of shoes in my fort. Too much in fact. For some reason, I don't get any migrants after the first few waves. My fort is a duchy at 35. This was also the case at my other fort. I run a bunch of mods, which gives my access to some more options for booze and weapon/armor-smithing, such as brass and gold. And more weapons for me to forge. And the ability to make orchards. Anyway, here is some stonesense:

Haven't gone done much yet. Playing it safe.

Oilstreams is doing well enough. We had to expel one dorf because he was an unhappy anusface and threw a tantrum. Currently trying to set up a military with mace and hammer dwarves, and I got these on a human caravan 1 year back (currently it's 109 UCE in my world).

I'm currently breeding these. I'm up to about 10-15 of these, all of them are gonna be war grizzlies. As soon as I got them, kobolds showed up. The bears went to town and messed them up. They're even protecting me from buzzards. Dalevassals and Palacechampion are ones I think of that are named.

You should probably put your images in spoiler tags so theyre hidden initially. You can also reduce their initial width like this:

Code: [Select]

Then theyll be nice and small until the viewer clicks on them.


For my fort, I solved the giant squirrel problem. By capturing ~20ish of them and having my militia slaughter the rest. Now wildlife appear and roam as normal. Only been one more kea incursion in the past year.

Goblins and demons showed up, finally. Including one goblin "siege" of five crossbowmen that were dealt with accordingly. My militia doesnt have proper armor yet, but iron axes and shields proved sufficient. Well, no one died at least. But they took some injuries.

One child did get kidnapped by demons. And another almost got taken, but was rescued because the snatcher, a necromancer experiment, turned around to fight a woodcutter instead of running and waited until the militia showed up to butcher it.

Belltire: We exterminate elves!

Elves thinks they're so funny when they got chopped up by dwarven steel.

I provked them on this one. They brought in some giant tigers and war lamas (It's one of many mods I'm using.)

I lost one macedwarf, but they lost everything.

Apparently I butchered or reassigned the dogs that hang out near the trade depot, and the kids were alone when the goblins came.

Goblins have arrived many times before but usually the dogs or adults chase them off or catch them. This time, three kids got bagged and 90 dwarfs went after them.

One goblin was run down and killed, another got away, and the third one fell off the deep water project and drowned. A kid got out of the bag and started swimming up from the deep water, making it onto the project's platform but then died, apparently from water-filled lungs.

Will the kids stop playing out among the trees? Probably not. Will I stop them? Probably not, but maybe.
