Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire

[Jacob/Lee]

When I ask people for a service, they say death will find me soon enough.

Lol, it means you're too insignificant for them to give you quests. Roam around until you find a lair/camp and beat the stuff out of whatever you find.

One of my marksdwarves is carrying two crossbows, and two quivers. He's sitting in my battlements putting wooden bolts between goblins eyes.

Died my first quest. How fun.

Time to try again with the same skills.

10 platinum says he doesn't make it a week. *drops 10 platinum bars down and breaks the table*

My masterwork!
Doodler Bearpuncher the God of War stabs Jacob Lee in the head, bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!
Jacob Lee has been knocked unconscious!
Jacob Lee has been struck down.

I took the feedback on my old bedroom design and have produced and better design.

It's highly expandable and the rooms are only 3x3.

[Jacob/Lee]

I highly suggest any common room be 3x3. It's small enough that you can fit many in a relatively small area yet large enough to cram a bed, table, chair, chest and a cabinet (my standard loadout for commoner rooms).

All the smoothed + engraved tiles makes for a pretty value, too.

[Littledude]

right now I'm just throwing a bed and cabinet in each.

[Jacob/Lee]

I do it simply because dwarves love throwing their clothes everywhere on the ground. They should pick up their stuff and put it in the containers.

[Frontrox]

Don't forget chests.

[Captain Crazy]

Now THEY are dangerous, stay away from them.

A little late, my army's murdered like a dozen of them without injury.

EDIT: Should I up and kill these elves? They've been real starfishs to me and want too much profit on their end.

I think a better question is why haven't you already.

[Captain Crazy]

Bearcrafts has broken into a miasma-filled tantrum-fest. Not even tastefully arranged platinum statues can calm the masses of dwarves...

[blaman]

So far my best anti-tantrum spiral weapon has been a royal dining/meeting room with artifact furniture near the entrances. Angry dwarves go in one end, happy dwarves come out the other end.

Also I found a use force my combined for of ~50 or so war dogs and giant war leopards. I just let them sit around inside the meeting hall when I'm being attacked, and anything that comes in while my military is busy is instantly mauled to death by dozens of angry war animals all in a 3x3 space forming a bloody quantum jerk circle around the victim. It's incredibly effective, most intruders who somehow get past my legendary army die within seconds of stepping into the meeting hall.
Also holy stuff. I have a Swordmaster who seems to be absolutely invincible. "She is unbelievably strong, basically unbreakable, very rarely sick and quick to heal."
This forgeter cleaned up an entire goblin siege composed of roughly 30 goblins and 20 ogres single handed, then walked back in to the fort with nothing but a mean appetite. I haven't seen her get hit in any combat reports, let alone get injured.

Goddamn, son. I'm gonna embark somewhere with flux stone so I'm not stuck in the iron age this time 'round.
