Darn. One necromancer comes in and destroys my fort. My marksdwarves say "hey, we have no bolts, let's just round out there and hit the guy". They all get slaughtered. I recruit more, and they all get slaughtered too. War dogs fight, die, and get raised form the dead. Eventually I happen to get a dwarf that's both a marksdwarf and a hammerdwarf, and he proceeds to ritually slaughter all the corpses. They come back. Uh oh. I think I'll be making a new fort soon.

Edit: yeah, it's over...

Edit 2: Looking at the last few dwarves running in circles, I think all the ones remaining are awesome. Tehy're all ecstatic, despite all of their friends dying, being worn from drinking crappy booze in bad weather on the floor, and continuously being chased by hordes of zombies. One of them is carrying her child as she runs in circles. I nickname them all as "survivor of Stonetower", and abandon. If I see them again, it'll be so awesome.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

nice page.

I ended one of my forts by rerouting its magma cannon into the dining hall and then pulling the lever to fire it.

1337ness bitch.

Doortufts is now 35 years old, my oldest fort to date. Did some really ugly rewiring so my mechanism-pump-pressure plate based text display won't allow certain things to be typed that could fuck up a potentially sentient fortress and destroy the world. Crisis averted.

....ok Evil areas(even when I only embark on the border!) are kicking my ass, but if I embark next to a tower, they seige after only one year. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MY UNDEAD FUN AND STILL HAVE A FORT!?

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Handle your ass kicking like a dwarf and try again :P

Learn why your fort fell and do it better next time.

Well, usually I'm doing fine until a large zombie(or 5) comes along and hands my militia commander his ass....

Huh, might need to embark with more than one military dorf then....(though giant zombies would still be a big problem....)

I appear to have caught a weresomething in a cage. I may throw the Human into a handy pit, line the hall out with cage traps, seal him with floodgates, and wait.

This could mean excellent things for my creature moat.

well, I've embarked on the edge of a sinister savanna with some non evil savanna and some non evil desert. It's raining vile slime, I've had to fight off several undead already, and most my dorfs are already unhappy.

So, business as usual then  :D

*facepalm* This is getting ridiculous. 5th fort in a row getting assr****d by the undead. I've currently down to the children, and there's a horse corpse with a name AND title(Skirthaunt the Phrase of Lashing) and another with just a name(Soundtruss). What is this I don't even

We're building a pump stack to draw water from the huge reservoir to convert it into a FTW machine.

Shiiit. I ignored the mood of one of my axedwarves and now he is berserking in the entrance hall (biggest meeting zone) with an adamantine axe. Fortunately, his long-time sparring partner happened to come across the scene and now they are dueling to death in the middle of the hall, armored in leather and armed with adamantine. There can be only one.
You should call together a band of Dwarfs with rock flutes and iron drums to play this

A tamed tiercel peregrine got in a fight with a peregrine falcon. The tamed peregrine strangled the falcon until she died.

One of the engravers is being attacked by a flying raven.

Hmm... if I pump vast amounts of magma on the surface of a thick glacier, will the results be as hilarious as I think they will?
