We're also beginning to have a kitten and puppy outgrowth. All of these are new puppies and kittens. I order the butchering of two of the kittens, to keep the numbers down, and to provide us some meat.

Dwarf Fortress is so cruel.

I'm not nearly as talented as the other people who've posted music, but here's my own little effort to pre-emptively commemorate the sacrifices the militia will be making for Bronzestabbed.

JimmyTheD is a glorified accountant, in a fortress that already has an accountant. He knows not this "smelting" business, all he sees are pretty numbers and babies.

Not only that, but if you make it from the ores, you get a ton of bronze with only one unit of fuel, instead of smelting the tin, smelting the copper, and then making the bronze from the bars.

I've never seen so many births next to each other, is that coincidence or because of a migrant wave with pregnant dwarves in, or what?

Good to see that my lack of empathy and poor understanding of social situations doesn't get in the way of my enjoying them.

I think dwarf me is going to grow up to be one of those people who blathers on and on about their favourite subject. I hope you all like hearing about voracious cave crawlers!

Lego Digital Designer + Photoshop Elements (AKA "The Cheap Version"). Fairly quick and dirty.

I don't like hurting kitties (even in DF), so here's the alertnative reality version of what just happened in the fortress with cats left unchecked:

I promise to get my legos out. I'm sure I don't have enough to do the entire fort, but I'll at least do the parts we've dug out. This is such a wonderful idea.

Also, if you don't know what to do with the cassiterite, put me in charge of it! Cassiterite ore is super valuable for an early military.

If legos turn out to be this fort's Thing, it would be really cool.

A nice update! It's cool to have so much babies in such a short timespan, it fits with the theme of a young fort.

Now it's just important to keep the babies away from the murk, lest we get zombie babies sieging us.

Well, that's not strictly accurate. It's highly possible i'll be abducted, though. And then presumably returned very quickly.

20th Granite, 273

Leperfish has organised a party to celebrate our freedom from the KESTREL. Considering the grave nature of the situation that faced us, and our mysterious freedom from the threat, I feel this is entirely justified, although the drain on our industry is troubling. That our woodcutter will not go out and cut wood is also troubling, although I believe I know why... my grandsire always said: �Axes to the military, then the people, child. Safety before outdoors work.�

It's PARTY TIME!

I shoulda' put a "missing kitten" poster up there too.

Thanks! This is my first DF thread and I didn't want to not contribute in some way. I'll maybe make one or two more as the LP progresses, since that's my thing. Obviously anyone wanting to use any music I make in any way for the purposes of any creative stuff in this thread, go for it.

edit: And the music everyone else has made is pretty good too, of course. Better than mine.

Leperflesh: May 17, 2007

I always just mash every kitten and puppy into the a (single) cage in the great hall, because no dwarf will adopt them in that state and they give dwarfs good thoughts and occasionally they're useful for experimental purposes. But sure I guess you can just butcher them...

Anyway JimmyTheD is doing fine on update frequency right now.

I'm home from my trip, fairly shattered, but a good night's sleep will put me right. 3rd post is updated. I've put in the three lego things so far but if it winds up being a huge number I may switch to just linking them, or perhaps build a gallery to link to if I'm feeling ambitious.

I also have a fuckload of legos boxed up somewhere so if I'm really feeling ambitious I could perhaps re-create the fortress in lego. Probably not though because I'm lazy.

Internet Kraken: Apr 24, 2010; slightly amused

Leperfish threw a party to celebrate our "victory" over the kestrel. Leperfish needs to wake up and realize that we didn't accomplish jack poo poo.

An undead fleeing from Bronzestabbed is not a success. It is a failure. To fight evil, you must crush every source of blight. We need to destroy every undead and slaughter all of the wildlife, for it is only a matter of time before all animals become infected. We have done none of this. The kestrel has escaped, taking the foul murk with it. And though it alone is not a threat, we must think of the creatures it will inevitably infect. It starts with a kestrel, but because of this there could one day be a murk zombie dragon charging towards us. Oh they don't believe me though, saying that such a tiny creature could never cause so much harm. Clearly they don't understand just how big of a threat evil is. Nobody does, and that is why we will inevitably fail.

Several children have been born in this fortress already. These children will be raised on ignorance, like all dwarves before them. They too will do nothing, unless something happens to make everyone in this fort realize just what we are dealing with.

For those interested - LDD's FOV is an absolute bitch. It's like having a digital camera with a 200mm telephoto zoom at all times.

Also the "dwarf" legs are immobile, so I'm going to have to find a creative workaround for any action. I think what I can do is have a "default pose", then remove most of the minifig and just manipulate the legs somehow, capture that, and then superimpose/edit the images.
