Hah, oh man, harsh.


I had four silver spears made for practice for the smith and for a neat dainty little weapon trap. But now some of my militia have grabbed the silver ones instead of (better) copper ones. :(

Getting angry at the number of dwarves dying of thirst when I have over 3,000 units of alcohol available...

Then I noticed the pile of corpses on the ledge beside my digsite... Apparently they channeled from the wrong side, and trapped themselves...

Note to self: check the death reports more often.

Just embarked bordering an evil area(AGAIN, I must be a glutton for punishment!) I'm actually doing ok, not too many undead attacking. I'm currently subscribing to the chop them into tiny bits that don't get back up way of dealing with them, but it seems to have backfired. My mason was interrupted storing something by a louse man first right upper arm...so what does he do? He immediately falls asleep in the middle of the brook! His subsequent death by a freaking ARM crawling up to him and jamming his skull through his brain(Or what is in PLACE of his brain, since he doesn't seem  to have one  :P) made me just facepalm

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.

HOW can you ignore the bright pink "Bomrek Bomrekbomrek, metalsmith hath snuffed it like a candle in the wind" reports? :o

Sometimes in adventure mode I try to find a way around a river. Then I remember that I can swim.

I did that once, jumped into the river.. and then I could not get up.
Luckily the fish were harmless but drowning was the only way out.

Not for me, but for my forgotten beast...

Urist McForgottenBeast has come! A hideous duck made of snow! And he has appeared on a small ledge that is in my third cavern level! And because of a bug in my worldgen, there is magma flowing from one side of the ledge in and then off the map on the other side! The magma is at least 1/7! And HE IS MADE... OF SNOW!!!

I didn't worry about him. Fort death by zombie spiral later on.

Embarked in haunted, ordered my dwarves to build a wall, placed a burrow so they'd all go inside, finished the wall. Ordered some digging, nothing. Removed and redesignated, nothing. After several several SEVERAL minutes of trying to figure this out, some crazy fog hit and hit pretty much every part of the dwarves (I didn't have a roof, apparently the fog was multiple z-levels high since it got in).

That was when I remembered the burrow.

Just found a way to safely breach a magma pipe without going into the cavers where the top is.

Except my miner is dumb and jump in the tiles that will soon contain magma. 1 death, face palm 1.

I also didn't think it would fill my reservoir that fast, it is flowing very fast and I didn't have the time to close the flood gate to the "safe" path. 3 death

Now, my magma industry is under 3 levels of magma, guess I can truly call it magma industry now...

When I decided that my cloth industry can use some sheep wool.
Well, first I sheared a sheep and then an invisible necromancer rised this wool from death. Nothing deadly but scaring the whole fort
It was possible to kill it and spin it into thread (it will be one bloody evil shirt :D) but head of that "creature" was constantly coming back from death.
Seems like industry using pets will be quite the fun with necromancers around.

Luckily sheep milk resisted this necromancer's sorcery. :D

Up to 169 immigrants, needing to finish off the last block of bedrooms to accomodate them. So I order the manager to make 30 cabinets and 30 coffers.

I come back over later, start building... For some reason, not a single coffer.

Then I notice all the coffins in my stockpile.

I'm trying to imagine the dorf making these coffins...looking around...thinking... "Why in Armok's name is the manager having me crank out THIRTY coffins???  OOH! Break time! Off to the bottom of the rum barrel!!! ^,^"
