The last fort I made had pretty ridiculous forgetups (good and bad), I'm just sad I was never able to get over the 200 dwarf population lag to finish the giant magma-death pump tower. Oh yeah and the elves were starting to get hissy fits since I cut down something like 2000 trees to build about 400 windmills for the damn thing, not like they could have done anything about it anyways. The Death Squad count was roughly 10 dwarves last time I played, basically unstoppable adamantine-artifact/mastercraft using dwarven monsters. They get kicked out of the squad if they die, but I haven't seen this happen yet. The Siege Team was also pretty damn impressive with 6 legendary operators and a legendary engineer making mastercraft ballista stuff.
But not all was well, a notably Bad forgetup was with the Mayor, he adopted the loving Dragon I captured in a pine cage. Normally this would be considered bad-ass but the mayor was a tremendous friend that I wanted to kill pretty badly. I was planning to collapse a few dozen Z-levels on top of him for no adequately explored reason but I guess he knew this was coming and he decided to get a little protection. forget I should have never put that dragon on the Buy-able Pets list until AFTER all the nobles were dead.
But all of that is only mildly interesting compared to it's best quality, which was it had a Goblin King. I'm not even joking, the king was a loving goblin. He was naked, purple, and hung around the dining room and commons all day long, drinking out of the little water hole in the corner every so often. It was weird, he had no desires and was perpetually content and did nothing notable except refuse to wear clothes.
This was a fun game, I feel like getting back into it. I doubt I'd have much time to play a succession game though.
