Utterly Mad

Going to revive this since I've been getting back into Dwarf Fortress... and coffee. Dwarf Fortress as a coffee sipping game is up there with Civ5 and the first two Roller Coaster Tycoon games.


Anyway, my current project is my execution pit that looks like it came out of American Gladiator. Basically the concept is simple, I dig a huge pit to throw prisoners and evil shitlords down to the point that they won't be gibbed, but be bruised. The real fun comes with what the floor is made of, soap. Imagine if you will a platform suspended over some Magma Lakes, and the only way out is through a door that is unreachable for the prisoners. So they land, they go to get up, and then slide off the side and into the magma below.

Now the only problem is surviving that long and getting my hunters to do their fucking job. "CANCEL RETURN KILL: CAN'T FIND PATH BACK" the fucking kittens are better hunters then these assholes.

But I've been trying to find things to interest myself in, my fort is only two years old and I haven't had any baby snatchers. Only a Werellama Child the brutalized a human caravan that the outpost liaison was with, so I ended up getting some free shit out of the deal, but none of my Dwarves are brave enough to burn the thing so its just been festering on top of my fort now. I want to say one of my dogs started snacking on it, but I'm not sure.


It's the 5th of obsidian, in the glorious year of 126. I've finally gotten the basics down, and now my women are literally shooting out babies like its no tomorrow (one of my hammerdwarves was in a sparring match when her baby popped out. She's using it to block hits. She's a good mother. Ironically she's the one that killed the Werellama.)
