Oh my gently caress I'm in the 7. I can't wait to find out how I die. Hopefully, it will be making fungi more fun.

Unless you don't have native bees. In which case, whatever.

Bugkeeping should be made to work with every hive insect, regardless of if it has a useful product. That way you can be "Beekeeper", Keeper of Ants.

I hope you're planning to encourage adventure/legends mode shenanigans in between the main fortress updates. Adventure mode has really expanded lately and I'd love to see all that new stuff in action.

That's how I'm gonna have prospective overseers audition for the main fort's job. In this sense, we'll be able to see more of the world than just our fort. Exciting isn't it?

Curses, I thought of a better job after completing the form. Part of me was hoping there were some basic checks in there so I could just submit the corrected form and it would fix the existing result rather than creating a new one.

so my last fort got completely wiped out by demons within 5 minutes of breaching the pits so I decided to make a new fort in the same world and take my revenge. 40 fully trained military dwarves in full steel equipment holding a chokepoint filled with weapon traps, surely this will be enough...

to last ten minutes instead. D:

I managed to kill a little more than half of the initial invasion force at least:

A nasty woman, I think you should try is, Jess.


Currently hacking my game to allow me to train untrainable animals, the Hungry Head experiment seems to have gone well so will now try it on Reachers. Not sure what will happen when I do it to Gorlaks as they are partially sentient and I'm at the population cap where no more babies are being made so even if they join the fort they won't be producing tame children. I got Blind Cave Ogres and a Cyclops in cages as well to do experiments on.

Come around now, have a seat on the floor,
And I'll tell you all how I made the door,
The door to the throne room of King Urist McBeard,
By the righteous he's revered, by evil he's feared.

The order came down to my workshop one night,
On the finest of parchment, 'twas a glorious sight.
I knew in the storeroom quality granite did lay,
And so it was there that I started my day.

By scabbling the imposing outline was freed,
A great leader an equally great doorway would need.
With chisel the plane of the surface was hewn,
I knew that the true work would begin soon.

I polished that rock face 'til brightly it shone,
You could see your reflection so clear in that stone.
Then long did I work at that slab with a drill,
Carving the hole that the doorknob would fill.

The handle was basalt, carved straight from a dike,
And this I did sculpt with most menacing spikes,
The hinges I hacked out, the pins I did mold,
From only the finest karats of gold.

The basics were finished, the art could begin,
And it was to that end I started therein.
Beautiful pictures from my tools soon did flow,
Ever more detail with each passing blow.

One of our founders, who struck earth for ore,
One of myself, as I created this door.
One of a particularly delectable cheese,
All of these things, I carved into the frieze.

I stepped to admire this fine work indeed,
Treated myself to a flagon of mead.
Perfection it was, captured in stone.
At the peak of my craft I now stood alone.

And now here I am, hearty and hale,
Entertaining you all with this wonderful tale.
An order for stonework I never will fail,
Now pour me another! I need some more ale!

When the night is calling
