My woodcutter created a Limestone amulet and became a legendary engraver.

HOLY FUCK he engraves fast
Legendary engravers are really kewl. Only thing to be careful of is that when they are actually making engravings (as opposed to just smoothing) they frequently make Masterpieces. And the engraver will go fucking nuthouse fugue if you destroy, mine through or even get blood / vomit on his masterpiece.

The amount of happiness they lose is inversely proportional to the amount of masterpieces they have engraved. So more masterpieces = less caring if one gets destroyed.
And legendary engravers make a LOT of masterpieces pretty quick.
Hm, yeah that's why I ordered one. Okay, how do i get goods into a bin? I have the bin and one full season till the caravan shows up. i still need to make my trade depot but I still have time.

Tis why i'm not smoothing/engraving exterior walls that I may someday want to mine through

lucky you, my first Strange mood (Ever) was an animal caretaker who became a legendary woodcrafter...
...on a map where, as far as I know, has no coal, bauxite, or magma, meaning pretty much all of my wood not used for barrels, beds, or bins is going to the wood burner anyway...
On the bright side, I could always have him dish out a masterpiece or two to placate some noble.
A fisherdwarf went berserk after not finding some fucking adamantite and killed 4 wardogs and 5 dwarves. It took the fucking woodcutter with a goddamn axe to finally take him down.
One of the dwarves he killed was a goddamn wrestler.
He engraved an image of himself engraving an image of himself engraving an image of himself engraving an image.
What you don't understand is that it is like a fractal. hes celebrating the fact that he created something that celebrates the fact the he created it. but which came first... the thought of creating it? or the thought of getting smashed to celebrate it?
If you think on it too long your brain my ooze out your ears.
But my money is on "hey if i make something good, i can go get drunk!"
Is inter-species breeding in the pipeline for DF? Knowing Toady, there'll be mechanisms to work out what a half-elf-half-orc breeding with a quarter-dwarf-half-kobold-quarter-dragon would produce.
I just started a new fortress, accidentally on top of a human city. Daggergames seemed like it would have a rocky start.
I dug channels in front of all the doors of occupied buildings and waited for all the humans to starve to death. All the other buildings I tore to pieces for raw materials before digging into the mountain.
Yes, Daggergames shall be famous. Or infamous at least.
I can't get DF out of my head. Even at work. Lately, I've been working on this really complex SQL query and all I can think is:
"This is a SQL query. All codemanship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of case statments and is decorated with bands of SUM functions. This query is adorned with hanging rings of outer join statments. On the query is an image of a sales forecast. The sales forecast is predicting the future.
Theres just so much to do and little time to do it in.
I played for an hour this morning, it went by ridiculously fast and I feel like I got nothing done. My peasant hauling force is not living up to my expectations.
I asked this and was told no, it just doesn't happen. I guess it makes sense, since dwarves in fantasy settings of all sorts can live for a couple hundred years.
I think so, but their natural lifespans are very long iirc. Lemme look in the raws.
edit: yeah they live between 150 and 170 years.
edit 2: although I guess death from old age might not actually be implemented?
Considering all that is implemented, I can't see why that wouldn't be. On the other hand what are the chances of having a dwarf live that long, not to mention an entire fortress existing that long?
With the threats of carp, goblins and elephants. I'm surprised if a dwarf can live more than 3 years.
The most common threat I've faced so far? Going into a mood and demanding shit we don't have access to at all. So they starve or commit suicide. I guess these dwarves are like lemmings.
I updated lancediron in the DF map archive so you know what stockpiles are what. I saw a couple other people do this while I was looking at maps and thought it was a neat idea.

Wood weapons only do 50% damage and usually the stuff is better used on beds, barrels or even wooden bolts (for archery practice).

Also, migrants came, population is now just over 90. Yay! I guess. Hopefully some goblins will attack me soon.

Nice job there Rembrandt.

EDIT: Also I'm up to 6 Legendary Craftdwarves.
I see your recursive engraving and raise you an exceptionally designed carving of a dwarf carving a masterful work.
BUT THE LAUGHTER WON'T STOP.
god this is some epic shit
I look back on my arrival fondly because a gang of rhesus monkeys came up on my wagon like I was having a banana party, interrupting my dwarves.
The dwarves for some reason didn't do anything to the monkeys, but the dogs and cats stained the earth with the poo-flinging blood of the monkeys.

Well, think about it. That alligator was so badass that it killed off it's entire food supply.
On it is a Dog striking down a Goblin from my war last year. The dog is striking down the goblin.
Fucking. Epic.
Make it a front door, will make those goblins think twice before entering!
Yes, elves are known connoisseurs when it comes to the preparation and delectation of human provender.

He was standing down and just never went and got food. I can't believe he died.
Also I have so much stone its driving me crazy. I am just building gargantuan walls outside of my fortress.
