Finding out I dont need to wait for migrants to come with the skills I need. I just needed to use the little labor with healthcare and farmming and all that what not so that they can brew stuff if my Brewer was killed by a GOD DAMN TROGLODYTE BECAUSE THE SQUAD WASNT FOLLOWING ORDERS. Thus makeing a booze less fortress that was in winter causeing everyone to kill each other.Oh how Fun it was.

I dug a seperate tunnel down to the caverns to lure out a forgotten beast in front of my fortress and the traps.
It didn't seem interested and just crawled around, so I killed it. After I disabled the civilian alert, my dwarves started swarming into the caverns and started collecting the remains and body parts of about 20 trolls and goblins I threw down there......  :-\

When you have 50+ dwarfs you'll know why everyone uses DwarfTherapist. 1 mouse click and you can make them all Brewers!
I'm so glad I don't use the ingame clusterf*ck skills assignment anymore.

Custom professions in DT are the best. Miners, Soldiers, Nurses and Workers. I'm considering making a "Legend" class, but meh. So you made a cool earring? Back to work!

The Jolly Battle- during the year who-the-hell-cares in the month of go-the-F***-back-to-work-ya-piss-drunk-dorvzzzzZZZZZZZZZ, during mid Diggy Diggy Hole:

My dwarves....oh, my retarded...STUPID...DWARVES. I generated a level through the advanced level maker*.
I set the temperature minimum to -1000 and the max to 1000! Now, I'm thinking..."My dwarves can handle this!" so I embark...on a scorching area...hot enough to melt, MELTED metal!
anyway, So I'm just watching my dwarves dig...then a dog begins to do a most...peculiar thing. he starts SLIPPING AND SLIDING AROUND! BUT I'M NOT DONE! THEN HE BEGINS TO LEAVE BLOOD EVERYWHERE! THEN HE MELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS IF ON FU**ING CUE, THE OTHER DWARVES BEGINS DO THE SAME DAM* THING!!! I'M NOW SITTING, SLACKJAW, WONDERING HOW IN THE NAME OF ARMOK COULD IT POSSIBLY GET ANY WORSE! LO AND BEHOLD, TWO FORGOTTEN BEAST SPEARMEN SHOW UP AND THROW MY LAST SURVIVING DWARF, THAT WAS APPARENTLY DIGGING A DEEP HOLE THAT I DON'T RECALL ORDERING HIM TO DIG IN THE FIRST PLACE, OFF A FU**ING CLIFF! BAM! FUN FUN FUN!

*Ahem*...it was a sad day.

in adventure mode i was sent to kill a legendary dragon, after about 30 other minor quests, i was walking along then i was attacked by bandits, i killed about 3 of them when suddenly magma filled the valley i was fighting in and i died, spent a good 2 hours trying to find the area in dwarf mode before i finally gave up, a flowing volcano would be awesome

Got a pterodactyl with a knobby turtle shell composed entirely of vomit in my caverns. Apparently it moves deliberately. It's teamed up with a giant steam shrimp.

After the first attempt at obsidianising magma around a small candy tube (which succeeded but flooded the level above with water), I sent my best miner down to carefully chip out the candy without disturbing either magma or water. He was doing pretty well. So then I sent him to dig a staircase down to attack the next level.

He found a hidden pocket of magma.

"Erith Lolokthinstad, Miner, has bled to death" :(

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

"Why are all my dwarves starving to death! The food stockpiles are full! See, dimple cups, cave wheat, and quarry bushes! Plenty to eat!"

To think I'd played this game for so long without considering that there are some things Dwarves will plant, that they won't eat.

Blargh. The only one of those three that I ever keep seeds around for is cave wheat, but only because it's brewable.

A starving dwarf eats every thing. Proved to be wrong!

That one time when I was starting out and my only brewer never made any alcohol and was resting almost all day which was causing all sorts of havoc.
I finally figure out how to find and check the lazy bugger only to discover hes been permanently disabled and I've been repeatedly ordering him to get out of his death bed, poor guy. Then everyone died from thirst, I even built a well over a river that froze over after the freaking construction!
