[Strategia]

Very nice. So thus ends the fourth year of hellcannon's existence. You kept the fort alive after what I would say would be better called "The first battle of hellcannon" as there will surely be many many more.

Third year, Mormota asked to be moved down the list. And the First Battle of Hellcannon wouldn't even have occurred if I hadn't been overconfident and careless. Then again, I'm not an elf.


I did get one thing right; I may have caused the deaths of 2/3rds or so of the fort population, but I'm leaving it a better place. There's metal production with the magma smelter, the first cavern layer is sealed off against anything that can't fly, the second cavern layer will be sealed off as soon as the masons get in gear, the third cavern layer is absolutely 100% guaranteed impenetrable, trust me on this, the food and booze supplies are stocked and if the carpenters and masons stop twiddling their thumbs we'll have enough living space for three times the current population easily. (However, it's still only the clay layer, and room quality is hard to raise unless you dig out the walls and replace them with stone/metal ones.)


P.S. Mind the rear entrance. It's usually pretty safe, and you could even risk sending some dorfs out to collect weapons and other useful miscellaneae that still lie in the snow, but keep a sharp eye out for skwildlife if you do. There's a partial wall around it, for safety reasons, although it isn't finished yet. I'd recommend keeping the doors tightly sealed at all times unless specifically watched, lest some hapless nobody lure a herd of skelks into the dining room.

You didn't make nearly as much of a mistake as the time I thought this drawbridge was a wall when goblin sieges came. If we hadn't had a well trained militia...well a lot more dwarfs would have died. And it's not like I did any of the work putting that together either.

Stuzang, you're dead. How are you still posting? Or is this that Eldritch monster thing behind your existence doing the typing?

[arcangelsd]

It just makes me wonder what kind of noise is it typing.
For me, it sounds like a cat purring.

[stormtemplar]

For me it sounded kinda like a zombie, which makes much more sense, though still very little.

Stuzang is Aussie Dwarf in disguise.
I just made up this, but then it would make a lot of sense (By a lot of sense, I mean in my headache-suffering brain, it does make sense now)

[MagmaMcFry]

I think it hasn't quite got the hang of cause and effect yet.

[saltmummy626]

I prolly wont get a turn so I wont bother, instead can I please have a dorf? my preference is towards engraver, but im not picky. any dorf will do.

No-no-no.  Stuzang was a cheap costume worn by Aussie Dwarf in an effort to scare off the population of Battlefailed so he could have the fortresses' mineral wealth that went horribly wrong.

[gamewizardinnc]

So the costume of Stuzang gained sapience, forged an alliance with an Eldritch being, and ascended a plane of existence despite being fake?

Sounds like Majora's Mask to me.

[Gizogin]

Fierce Deity Gizogin to the rescue!

I downloaded the save for a quick look, and it gave me one of those moments where I suddenly realize everything that's wrong with the world.

There seems to be a burning ogre sitting happily in the middle of the magma sea.  I'm not sure what to make of that.

If I might humbly suggest a dwarf to become the next Gizogin, I would like to put forward Momuz Dutybells, a butcher, or Litast Heatedkeys, a stoneworker.  No matter which dwarf I become, he'll need to be drafted as a hammerdwarf immediately and given the profession of "Rawmancer."

[gamewizardinnc]

has anybody alerted sinpwn yet?

Meh, don't bother with Stephen King. IT was pretty good until the end (the movie actually doesn't do the full story any level of justice, but the endings are perfect matches). The books of his I read are interesting, but the ending is ALWAYS a cop-out. It is like he gets bored writing the book and finishes as quickly as possible. I'm not much of a horror fan either, but IT was more suspense than horror anyway... until it tries to become a cosmic horror story.

Don't bother with the bulk of Stephen King's work, but he is actually a good writer with a select few really good books.  The Dark Tower is entirely different from everything else he writes, in style, in content, in quality  -I recommend it highly.  The Stand, Insomnia, and Needful Things (as well as his assorted short stories and novellas) were standouts for me among his other work, but nothing compares to the Dark Tower books.

Edit: I don't think my last redorf request had a chance to go through so - any chance of me getting the legendary bone carver?
