    Once the worst of my famine was over - Bam! A bunch of immigrants and a Dungeon Master, who is being treated to both an artefact chair and an artefact table, as well as a marble coffin and a bunch of pretty awesome statues my mason made before he died.

    And now I have 80 dwarfs, sieges should start to turn up.

    D: Fort Gleemetals has been sacked by goblins!!

    Hordes of Gobbos came rushing from the mountains, my military under Xtarath mustered at the front gates, and I put all my civilians on active duty and ordered them underground for what I was assured of was my final battle.

    Well, the civilian army decided to charge like retards to an arrowey death, the front gate was littered with their bodies. Then the goblins came inside and killed all the active military dorfs in a massive brawl. After my civilians and army were crippled, Trolls tore apart the area of water I had blocked off way back and my fortress began to flood.

    We killed all the damn gobbos, some trolls are chilling out by the old barracks, harassing my survivors, miasma and flies scour my fort. Titmouse was elected mayor and everybody is ecstatic, I gave all the administrative powers to titmouse and he is currently the supreme overlord of Gleemetals, a broken fortress filled with crazy people.

    The only sane one is the engraver, who is detailing the fall of the fortress.

    ;(

    One of my engravers, in a fairly self-referential fashion, has been engraving engravings of dwarfs engraving.

    Toady needs to incorporate art styles into the game. "This engraving is influenced by the elf T'luan. It uses the elf's perspective techniques into the engravings." "This engraving is made by an amateur. It looks like something a goblin would make.

    Same here. Looks like 31 dwarves is all my laptop can handle. The FPS has just gone down the drain.

    Just gonna have to wait until I can upgrade to some more RAM, 512 is not enough.

    I was thinking of taking 4 cows with me so that the odds of getting cow calves is greatly increased. Expensive as they are I'm hoping they will produce a lot of meat.

    Is it... Is... MY MAN. Take a look at this helpful picture. Another fellow linked it in the previous thread. I feel it is most appropriate.
    xlg_depth_scraper_0.jpg

    If that doesn't illustrate the wonders of the z axis, nothing can. Now imagine that depthscraper filled with dwarves marrying and breeding, choking each other to death in fits of rage and bathing their children in blood on the surface in fields of razor wire and spike filled trenches while setting trees on fire to send up smoke signals to the elves for giggles.

    We no longer simply build holes in a wall, we build underground cities. Dwarfholme is confined to no mountain. Dwarfholme is the world.

    Damnit, I was doing pretty good with this fort, and I had it layed out very well. But now I can't find any good ore for weapons and armor, and its infuriating. I might just restart, but I don't want to because of my success so far. Gwaaaaah!!!!

    You can just wait for goblin invasions and melt down their stuff. Or request metal bars and raw stone from traders.

    The next update will have dynamically defined ages. Toady went from the Age of the Elves (due to their population) to the Age of the Dwarves (thanks to a berserker axedwarf visiting elves.

    If you think that's bad, try building your barracks around a large central shaft. Sparring injuries are nothing when you have dwarves falling down a 12 level pit when they're dodging in combat exercises.

    Is it just me, or are dorfs a lot faster now? I always seem to have people idling while I wait for my miner to finish, even after finishing chair/barrel/bed/chest/door/mechanism jobs.

    How'd that invasion go? You live?

    The Crazytown formerly known as Gleemetals is holding on by a thread, goblin ambushers roam outside my fort, waiting for a chance to strike, but the last of the guard/military are kind of defending. Enough to break their moral. Once the next invasion comes, we're done for.
