So, I finally negotiate peace with the elves and they give me a tree-cutting quota because, honestly, I don't have time to deal with them and my ranged defenses are currently imperfect.  The elf diplomat proceeds to leave via the main entryway and gets slaughtered by my civ's dwarven caravan which is currently trading there and, apparently, still at war *facepalm*

Surprised your civ didn't declare war on you. Negotiating with elves.... tststs... you should know better

Nothing's truly dwarfy until it's been weaponized to kill elves with magma.

some creatures, like earthworms, have their brain in the body.

These piss me off, how easily they get one shotted.  And frequently by kicks too, interestingly enough.

Aren't kicks really powerful, or at least they used to be? I remember several dwarves getting killed by a rampaging horse that just kept kicking and biting them once.

Look elsewhere, reader. There is nothing for you here.

That might just be because it was a horse. Hooved creatures hit really hard with their kicks.

I think it's just because my lasher was unbelievably strong, so it felt less like a kick and more like a brick to the face at mach 10.

My hammerer has just been sentenced to 1 Hammerstrike for violation of a production order (it's not like you can just tell them to make bracelets...).

I'm excited to see how this goes down.

EDIT:

I was playing all afternoon. Brought the laptop into the kitchen to refer to a recipe, and didn't stop playing (I was trading with the Mountainhomes! New weapons for my traps!). Laptop battery died one minute before I was done to bring it back to the charger. Lost everything I'd done today. Too disheartened to keep playing for the moment. *sigh*

I'm sorry your husband had a strange mood and ended up making a useless trinket out of useless materials without gaining any experience in the process.

Seeing my first megabeast ever  ( minotaur ) get randomly shot to death by my only huntress that wanted to take a bath... Freaking pervert... If you only saw the terror in his eyes when he was fleeing her. :P

I had a minotaur visit my fortress, only to get his head bashed in in a single blow by a macedwarf...

I had two minotaurs visit my fortress. Both were burned to death and eaten.

Gee, minotaurs are so underwhelming...

Well, I recently caught an ettin, so... HOW SHOULD I WEAPONIZE IT?

I've had a couple of minotaur children visit my fort.  The last one got dismembered, his teeth punched out, and his head crushed.  I feel really bad for him.  Minotaur children.  Reminds me of that D&D game where I put kobold women and children in the dungeon.  Don't ever do that.
