I waited for awhile and nothing happened, so I decided to continue going on with my plans. The dragon refused to attack them, no matter how many goblins I fed him the goblins hovered on one side of the pit, scared out of their wits from the dragon, but the dragon just sat there cleaning its talons or something. I thought to myself, hey! This should be great, I'll just catch all the goblins in cages and then sacrifice them one by one to the dragon! I somehow managed to catch the dragon in a cage (a wooden cage, lol) and my dungeon master dropped him into a pit that I made. In this game sometimes you will get attacked by megabeasts who are able to destroy things like doors etc. I had a great fortress going once, complete with a moat made of MAGMA and tall walls with crossbow dwarves on them. while the front door is sealed and the barrier to the rest of the fortress is wide open.Ībout 60 Dwarves drown in their beds. Eventually, the crazy bitch opens the floodgates. If we ever lose the main gates, the entrance hallway can be flooded, killing everyone inside. I had designed a floodgate connected to a river as a last-hope defense mechanism. Now of course, all of this is happening during a goblin siege. She refuses to eat, and wanders the fortress aimlessly. The noble starves to death, and his wife enters a melancholy mood. He's quickly cut down by the militia, but not after causing quite a commotion. He finds the noble in his bedchambers, breaks both his legs while he sleeps, and leaves him there, locking the door on his way out. My craftsdorf sits idly in the workshop, slowly building up rage until he snaps. Unfortunately, one of the nobles has outlawed all turtle shells in the fortress. My biggest ever fortress had its downfall sparked by a dispute over turtle shells.Ī craftsdorf goes into a mood and wants to create something out of turtle shells. Although, migrants have arrived so I hope I have enough. I'm on my first fortress ever, I think all my dwarves are going to die from hunger very soon.Įdit: woo! I think my food production is finally starting now. Currently, two berserk dwarven children are haunting the dormitories and trying to murder workers in their sleep. The resulting tantrum spiral has dropped my population from 150+ to just over 100, and I've given up on coffins and designated one of the less-scenic valleys outside as a corpse dumping ground. Turns out the manager was best friends with the captain of the guard, and the mayor's brief reign ended when he was beaten to death with a crossbow. The mayor almost immediately threw a tantrum over the lack of suitable lodgings, and one-hit-killed my highly-competent manager with a punch to the head. Things were going pretty smoothly up until a short time ago, when I failed to noticed a new mayor getting voted in due to a flood of 'job cancelled' messages caused by a bottleneck in my production. Explains why my animals were dying all over the place. The last time I played was on 31.18, and I've just found out they have pastures now. I've never played a lot of DF, but noticing this thread made me decide to fire up a new fortress under the latest version.
