Just noticed when my Queen went insane (stark raving), she was occupying the same tile as a guard, and the "insane descriptor" changed from "Running around babbing!" to "Crawling around babbling!" Awsomesauce.

Oops, she just went swimming in my roadside canals.

Deer chanting "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Is actually pretty in-character for DF.
This must be sketched. Now.
This is a depiction of Urvid Strangleshoes the dwarf, and a deer.  Urvid Strangleshoes is rolling up his sleves. The deer is chanting.  This event precedes Urvid Strangleshoes melting from striking down Olmhat the Destroyer, a magma man, with a single punch to the magma.

Wow.

Didn't imagine this thread would get THAT much activity.

Sadly I have nothing new to report, but keep it coming guys. Glad to see not all of my threads are abandoned.

ok. this needs a bump:

I just noticed that tigermen and the like that you buy off the elves can actually have professions. I have yet to see if I can get them to use said skills, however.

Also - the insides of goblin towers count as "underground".

I took a dwarf adventurer and wandered the world.  While wandering I stopped at a temple and talked to the priest/ruler for a bit. He did not have any quests for me, but told me to consider worship of Mela, goddess of the dawn.

I later returned the dwarf to her home fortress and retired her.  Then I checked the historical figures records there in Legends mode.  Under her record she now shows Mela as an object of dubious worship.  She didn't before - I've been checking her historic records in between adventures.  That is a really awesome bit of attention to detail.

I just burnt a tree with my frozen water inside it, then returned to collect the water. Thought it was a long shot but it worked!
