DWARF FORTRESS GENERAL

Why can't they follow orders? I've got them to train this month and they have barracks.

I used to-

1. Wall off my entrance apart from a little 2 tile wide part, channel it a few z-levels down and build a drawbridge on it and attach it to a lever.

2. Build stone fall/cage traps all around the entrance, this will hurt/kill/capture gobbos as they try to sneak in

3. while this is happening, make the best armors/weapons you can and make a squad or two of dwarves. if you cant make them, then trade for them asap

So my fort has reached a point of very good stability, defeated 3 goblin ambushes, 1 goblin siege, 3 forgotten beasts.

Dug down to the lowest Z level, found adamantium (but I'm not gonna pierce that shit, fuck that).

Not sure what to do with it next.

You'd need a dungeon master to tame them, since they're exotic, but he doesn't arrive in the current version, so you'll need to tweak their raws.

So what's everyone's current project? I'm putting the finishing touches on a ceiling over my entrance with the fort's name in Germanic runes.

Also, making a blood altar: pic related. Once the river unfreezes, I'll fill the area beneath the room with water. Then goblins will be dumped into the watery pit in the middle, to be slain by spear traps (and if not by the traps, then drowning). Their blood will spill out and lace through the water. As the water runs openly along the walls of the room, my dwarves can truly enjoy the spectacle.

If not, d->n to remove the wall, then wall it back from the other side. Don't forget to make another wall on the other side, and suspend it. That way they won't wall themselves out.

Well, the only "solution" to the problem that I found was that my cooks appearently used up all of the tallow before I could even get my hands on it. So I disabled auto cooking, and I was then able to make soap with lye and tallow.

The other problem persists, though. I can't make rock nut paste oil at a screw press, even though I have made rock nut paste at the quern.

I'm kind of new to Dwarf Fortress, and I had this idea that I've been trying to get to work.

Ok so here's the idea, I make a ton of blow guns and equip one to each dwarf in my entire fortress, except for the ones in the military. I give each dwarf a single dart poisoned with really any kind of poison, Giant Cave Spider or Giant Desert Scorpian if possible. The idea is that this would mean that if my miners run into a cavern with a monster in it, they will shoot it with their blow gun and poison it and kill it before it kills him. Basically, just give each and every dwarf in my fortress the ability to competently defend themselves if something unexpected happens within the fortress.

My question is, is this possible? and how do I do it?

My current project. A solid platinum and silver tower. I've got the map height set to 100, so that's my goal. Doubt I'll reach it, though. I've also got a volcano in the corner, if someone wants to recommend some neat things to make with that.

So I've decided to start a new fortress. My previous one was successful, but after defeating my first goblin siege (that was just standing around a pond because their commander fell into it and couldn't get out) I felt there was nothing left to do there, as there was not a lot of space for cool projects and megaconstructions and the like. And with my newly acquired experience I could set up a new (and fun) fortress.

So now, The Blameless Rags are set on an adventure to create OceanConstruct off the coasts of an untamed island filled with dangerous beasts and (hopefully) goblins hellbent on destroying us and our legendary effort to build a true bastion of the Mountainhomes, worthy of the king (hopefully not).

I'd be bored out of my fucking mind if there were no goblins. I always pick a location that has a goblin fort close by for some goblinite. You can see how close it is in your civilizations part of the embark screen. It has to be as low as you can on the list to have them show up as late and in smaller numbers
f.e.
dwarfs
elfs
humans
goblins--------------------
this would be ideal for you besides having no goblin civilization at all
But wealth and size of the fort has a big impact too

This is serious. The badass baby is becoming dehydrated.
She received water once before, but she is literally dehydrated now and nobody is giving her water. Which is strange since they FED her.
What do? I'm considering using Runesmith to turn her into a child temporarily so that she takes a drink, and then turning her back into a baby.

You should learn to send out scout parties made out of unarmed peasants or just use them as a lure. Or station your military squad for defence
Or even better, build small tower with traps on every corner of the map with kittens for baits so that dumb goblins show their asses before reaching the fort
Or place high observation dorfs into those towers with enough food and drink

How about dropping her off a 2z level fall? Hopefully she'll tear some skin or something and will be taken to the hospital, where she will hopefully not die, and will hopefully receive some water since she's now technically wounded.

THE BLOOD GOD HAS ANSWERED!

This goblin fuck is the leader of the goblin armies that have taken many a dwarven life. And in a showdown of epical proportions between him and my brave last founding dwarf, this craven goblin had another crossbow soldier sneak up and shoot the brave champion in the back, and cruelly killed him as he staggered to his knees.

And like any craven, this goblin "king" tried to escape the fields of battle with the rest of his army.

Every goblin escaped. It was a day for mourning as they lay down the last of the ancient founders in his final resting place that was a golden sarcophagus.

The god himself wept, and in his fury had lead the craven "king" called Axmu Sealdoom into the only cage trap in the wilderness, and soon this prisoner was brought in, his punishment yet decided.

But soon, the perfect fate shall fall upon him. As his name implies, he was cast down into a pit filled with water, and on it's way, magma.

Sealdoom shall forever be sealed away, to his doom, forever standing as a testament to the will of the blood God.

I guess he was a legendary woodcrafter. I say guess, because none of my children are legendary woodcrafters. So either he didn't learn anything, or a snatcher took him. I don't really care either way.

That happens in a way so that the most important areas are finished first and are scalable to accommodate for more dwarfes later on.

Wait, I know what could be causing this.
I couldn't bury her mother since she drowned. Maybe she turned into a ghost and the game thinks that other dorfs shouldn't feed her, since her ghostly mother is going to do so.

REJOICE EVERYONE
MY TIRELESS DETECTIVE WORK AND BABY IMPALING HAVE PAID OFF
IT WAS ACTUALLY EXACTLY WHAT I HAD SAID BEFORE
She simply couldn't bear seeing her mother like that, rotten on the bottom of a pool, in the dark bellies of the earth. She lost all will to live, she would not have a single drop until her mother was honored like the eye-hammering warrior she was.
Nobody else could see her, not the bookkeeper, not the guy behind the crystal glass window on the sky, not the units screen, but her mother had come back as a ghost. And she was incredibly disappointed at her daughter for being such a punk and piercing her ear. It was the only thing in her mind.
And so, when a slab was placed in order for Hammerdwarf Ducim Treatytunnels, nobody saw any difference, and nobody wasn't even sure a ghost had even been here. But they felt the relief inside, and a brave animal keeper decided to finally put all of his wasted years at the dwarven veterinary for an use, and grabbed a nether-cap bucket to give the prophetic baby a cold gulp of water.
And everything was good.

well, tantrum spiral is the term for the whole thing.
And dwarf throw a tantrum if they're unhappy enough. in the course of that, they might injure or kill other dwarfs and their relatives might, as a result throw a tantrum as well. Repeat ad infinitum and you've got a tantrum spiral.
I don't know if children can throw tantrums, though.
They can be taken by a strange mood. So, maybe?

On Eral Azikirit's life and death.

"Eral Azikirit was the star soldier of Kuletsedil's swordsdwarf division. Single-handedly fighting off entire sieges and crushing kobolds with her bare hands. Once, while she filled her waterskin, she strangled an attacking carp to death with no injuries. Legendary in military, crafting, and social stats, she sped through the fortress with confidence and visible power.

However, one day, during an ambush, a goblin bolt struck her square in the spine. After the battle, she was brought to the barracks and unceremoniously dumped in a bed. The once all-mighty Eral Rewardknife became a babbling invalid.

Then things turned around for her. Her son was torn apart by wolves while cutting wood. As she grieved, the mayor ordered her beaten for being unable to create some arbitrary trinket, after being discharged from the military. Eral was pregnant, and her beating caused her to have a miscarriage. Unable to live anymore, she became suicidal, and crawled (somehow with a broken spine) to the moat. Perhaps hoping for a quick death, she instead starved to death at the bottom of the dry, sandy channel. Her bones still remain there today, and her friends and husband are all still ecstatic."

On Thorig Ashcun (1/2)

Thorig Ashcun was a young hunter eager to prove his worth to the fortress and bring home a meal. Armed with his crossbow and his two trusty hunting dogs he traveled into the wilderness. Young Thorig forgot to bring his bolts. He was attacked a wolf by bashing it with his crossbow. Needless to say that did not go well and his left eye was gouged out and his right leg was hurt. His hunting dogs managed to save him. He was carried to his bed were he lapsed into a coma for a whole year. His dogs never left his side. When Thorig finally awoke, he picked up his crossbow (and bolts) and decided to go hunt. He chased a wolf across the map and when he finally cornered the wolf,
