i realized that, in DF coffins aren't good enough.... damned necromancers.... my fort didn't stand a chance...

[Splint]

Home caravan arrives with diplomat in tow, as the stockades go up around the settlement. I've managed to produce more honey and such than I can process so either I'm very lucky or humans are better at beekeeping than dwarves. The bank is roofed, the temple largely smoothed, and once trading is completed, Ill have the miners carve out the remainder, to be systematically flooded around a great copper mussel.

Still got plenty fo worn out and pottery shit to sell. Soon there will be piles of  modbold junk to foist on them too.

Machinegate



Dammit. Despite what my fortress's name might suggest, I don't have the front gate hooked up to an emergency lever yet.

Edit: A hunter I forgot to deactivate killed it, there's now a human corpse lying outside.

Son of Edit: That same hunter got a secretive mood and yanked three piles of water buffalo bone before settling in to work. And he made a bin worth 4800 dorfbucks. Bwahaha!

Still trying to generate the world with a necro tower as a glacier embark's neighbour. Dammit, sneaky book-man, Y U NO settle near glacier??

Because the majority of necromancers are human, and humans have more sense than to move to the middle of an icy wasteland if they want to pick on people.

After several years, the dwarves have come! Also known as I figured out why they wouldn't show up. Now I can make import orders for some sweet dwarven steel.

Am I the only one that found this suggestive?  Puts a new spin on "Now you will know why you fear the night."

No, no you weren't. You also weren't the only person who thought the attack of the wereass on the ostritch cock was suggestive. amazing, no?

[Deus Asmoth]

My weaponsmith got possessed by unknown forces, grabbed a load of adamantine and made a war hammer. I convicted him of a triple murder.

[Splint]

.... I have to sig that.

[HavingPhun]

Have made only one developed fort. Since I added the masterwork mod I have been getting people killed by random creatures who are supposed to be in the evil regions. But anyways its more fun a baby took on a centuar and kicked its butt. Then 20+ civilians had a fistfight with one and killed it while a caravan stood by and watched and then finished off a great bull that matierialized at the worst moment. This all happened in 5 minutes. Then some Jackal bunny thing lobbed someones head off in another save. Talk about !!FUN!!

[Ki11aGhost]

I put that annoying little fortress destroyer in the military, attempted to make him attack some monsters on the map, and he was almost immediately stricken melancholy.

Journal of Kotonoa, 11th Felsite, yr.452

The axedwarves convinced one of the children to "pull the lever" and allow the zombies to enter for sparring practice. I learned of it only when one militia came to me with a broken wrist and another with a cut hand. I guess we don't need that medical test pit anymore...

During the whole ordeal, one zombie charged and one zombie just squatted in the entrance hall. Two additional zombies also appeared, and one got past the cages. Our jeweler has dumped that lively one the remaining cage trap in case it rises. Now to go diagnose Nanaka, who got some of that acrid ooze on her during the fight.

Spoiler: Order of Operations (click to show/hide)

Migrants finally arrive. I feel like singing!

Then I realize; something like 25% of the zombie horde is right there, within eyeshot of where they spawned. I think maybe I can salvage it if the first few dorfs distract them all.

So I look to the escape tunnel to set them up for their glorious "hide in a hole" lifestyle. Only to find... mushroom trees have grown into the fucking tunnel and blocked off access to the fort.

Damnit, RNG, you are a sadistic motherfucker.

[Hurkyl]

I'm having the opposite problem: not enough fun.

I wanted to build a 11x11x11 fort (plus a little bit more), churn out a lot of wealth, pack it full, then have Fun. Alas, I've only had one pitiful siege, the minotaur died when I blinked, and the forgotten beast had already left by the time I got around to actually connecting to the caverns.

While I'm waiting for something to come and overrun me, I decided to dig down to Z level 0. Maybe I'd pierce the third cavern, and have Fun that way.

But no, I hit warm stone at Z level 84. There's (I assume) actually magma pool higher than half way to the surface. Darn it I wanted this fort to die, not give me a relatively shallow magma pool that makes me want to keep it going.

Just watch, as soon as I decide I want the fort to survive, *then* Fun will come.

[GHudston]

Does it count as "going on in my fort" if I haven't been able to build a fort yet on account of a slight zombie Emu problem? Admittedly, there's still some kinks to work out in my evil embark strategy...
