I just realized that cooking plump helmets and other plants makes them lose their seeds/spawn.

No wonder I kept running out... I need to stop cooking plump helmets.

I finally managed a SAFE break in to the first level of caverns.

I also walld it off while I trained a militia out of the latest wave of useless immigrants (including a lye maker, a potash maker, a glazer, and a wax worker). Hopefully there's no building destroyers waiting for me to open up that wall.

I know -.- a tower cap just grew in the middle of a hallway.

Thankfully my hallways are three wide.

I can't seem to get hunting and butchering to work... there's lots of angry badgers outside of my home that keep interrupting tree cutting, fishing, and plant gathering. Are they just not edible creatures?

.....aaand now I'm being interrupted by a troll who is about seven z-levels down and unable to actually do anything.

Guess I'll give my militia commander an order to stand there and shoot the poor troll until it dies, seeing as it can't attack back with the z-level difference.

I solved my problem with a steel warhammer, myself.

My bowyer got into a fey mood and asked for logs and silk.

I have logs. But I do not have silk. However! I was about to go into the underworld anyway. So I might end up getting some soon. Course I might also let a troll into my fort.

Either way it should be fun.

I somehow managed to run OUT of stone while building an above ground fort extension to my entryway.

A problem easily rectified.

A conversation on the Bay12 forums.

Dear Urist,
Why do you come in waves that almost triple the size of my fortress population?
-- Overseer Melissia

Dear questioning overseer:
There be gold in them thar hills. ... Well, maybe not gold, but wealth to be certain. And it seems to call us...
Urist mcMigrant

Dear Urist mcMigrant,

Welcome to the militia. Here's your maple training axe and spider silk cloth hat. Now let's go hunting trolls.

-- Overseer Melissia

Dear Overseer Melissia:

Well, tha' was fun. Blighter got meh a few times wit' 'is fists, but they jus' glanced off me nice hat.
It may 'ave taken a wee bit, but I go' 'em all for ye!

-- Urise McLegendaryAxedwarf

Dear Urist McLegendaryAxedwarf,

Congratulations! You are now a valuable member of this fortress. This means that, though you will still be sent on suicide missions for the good of the fortress, you will receive one (1) 3x3 bedroom, smoothed and engraved by the many not-so-valuable members of the fortress. As empty bedrooms are not useful to the fortress, you will also be provided with with one (1) finely crafted fungiwood bed, one (1) finely crafted limestone throne, one (1) finely crafted limestone table, one (1) finely crafted limestone coffer, and four (4) finely crafted limestone statues.

Upon completion of an additional feat to the benefit of the fortress, you will be assigned one (1) finely crafted silver sarcophagus and associated 3x3 burial chamber. If you do not manage to complete an additional feat before you die, you will be buried in a communal chamber.

You are also permitted to eat and drink from the BLUE barrels now. You are still not permitted to eat or drink from the BLACK barrels. If the BLUE barrels run out, you are permitted to drink from the RED barrels, and eat from the GREEN barrels. If you are caught drinking from the GREEN barrels, you will be flogged. If you are caught eating from the RED barrels, you will be flogged, and then beaten. If you are caught allowing the food in the BLUE barrels to go rotten, you will be flogged, and then beaten, and then imprisoned.

If you are caught eating and/or drinking from the BLACK barrels, no punishment will be necessary, and may Armok have mercy on your soul.

-- Overseer Melissia

Thus the evolution of my character as a Dwarf Fort player.

I do this:

O, -, | = walls
S = statue
B = bed
H = Cabinet
N = Container
T = Table
D = Door
C = Chair

It's cramped, but most of my dwarves seem to like it, all except for my nobles. Having this kind of room tends to make the dwarves happier while being easy to arrange. I have excess stone anyway so building statues helps bring my mason(s) up in skill.

My mayor has her 3x5 office, a 5v5 bedroom, and a 5x5 dining room, all of which have statue gardens in them. She's happy. I left room to expand the bedroom and dining room for when Momuz Erithigath "The Malign Spear" the Axelady inevitably becomes the baron or whatever.

And yes, a legendary axedwarf is called "The Malign Spear". She got it after she killed six goblins in one battle dual-wielding an iron battle axe and a wooden training axe, WHILE she has a buckler and shield strapped to her arms.
