Haunted places are good spots to live, settle there.

The n's are actually hills and stuff I think. Or they are grasslands or something. Purple is a haunted place.

I've figured this much already!
I instantly saw that purple area and chose to embark there! When I saw that it was sinister I knew that meant it would be completely safe!

Terrifying places are the best! It's terrifying how much fun they are!

Sinisterly safe. Who doesn't like fun haunted houses?

Well...your dwarves won't when they get multiple devastating injuries because of mysterious occurances.

Otherwise, everyone loves 'em =D

How to train military dwarfs easy.
1. Embark (or go to if you are in adventure mode) a haunted place that can have zombies.
2. Recruit some guys into the military and look around for a zombie herbivore.
3. Have your dwarfs wrestle with it so that they will max out their wrestling (Zombies don't need to breath and since they are herbivores they won't attack your dwarfs).
4. Now they are able to be good at using hammers due to wrestling also training strength, give some to them and train them.
5. You now have a competent military that can fend off most attacks.

Bonus: Get some marksdwarfs or some siege weapons.

Extra Dorf Bonus: Scrap all of the military and make a lava cannon to stop invasions.

Uninstall because i cannot find out how this works.
Re-Install next day because i want to have crazy stuff happening.
Ragequit the same day because i cannot find out how this stuff works.

And yes i know there are tutorials.

I just started playing adventure mode again. Made two new dudes, both died in first battle. I keep getting stuck with sucky wooden spears and quests 8 day away.

Well that's the end of this fort.
An incredibly fast, incredibly powerful Spider Titan from the mountains attacked my fort. It slaughtered my entire military when I sent them after it, then after I closed the main gate it found its way through my underground water reservoir, then into a channel which lead straight to my medical bay.
Shortly after the fall of my soldiers:


Oh and this was just after the elves launched a siege against me which I just barely defended, and about 5 minutes after the titan spawned goblins also launched a siege. Somehow the titan scared the goblins away or something, because after the titan killed two of them the entire army ran and left the region.
The 3 storage areas outside to the right are for dead things. Ran out of dead thing storage inside the fortress. :P
Also the stones are there so my masons could work quicker when they were building the walls. Never got around to removing them.

That's bullstuff, zombie and skeleton everythings are hostile.

I got a question.
Does that count you saying it in that post and do quotes count?
