    Is it normal that the entire population (except for the children) is above the age of 70?

    With all fotresses I've been through so far every dwarf I had was between the ages of 60 and 100.
    Is this supposed to happen?

    Or are my forts seen as great places to retire in the elder dwarven community.

    That's the mayor falling down the same pit, his skull and brain are now fused but he doesn't seem to mind. I'm just going to leave him down there until I capture some goblins, then he can be the arena champion.

    Since I dropped my mayor into a death pit and he survived, all meetings with the liason are now conducted in the blood drenched bottom of said pit.

    Also, I tried to drop the chief medical dwarf (also a vampire) onto the mayor's head, sadly he missed so now i've got two crippled vampires.

    Tried making a Necromancer Baboon armoured in Adamantine in the arena. I kept sending hordes of animals, from just dogs to elephants, at him but nothing stopped him and his army, which just kept getting stronger and stronger. I even sent 2 dragons, but they got mauled and added to the Baboons army (not before torching half of the zombies, but the lucky baboon was among the few to not catch fire).
    Finally I sent 20 legendary humans covered in Adamantine from head to toe, together with loads of warbeasts, a titan, and 10 giant eagles. It wasn't going well at all, until one of the humans cut the baboon's head clean off, ending his reign of terror (well kinda, with him out the rest of his army went down relatively easily).

    Yeah they seem to be, everything but the trees burned down.

    Is there any way to disable Vampires? I don't want any in my Fortress. I can't really think of any uses for them, I'm not bothered with them really. I'm fed up of getting really good dwarves and having high hopes for them, only to find out they're vampires.

    Plus, Legendary dwarves being killed over something silly is a risk I don't want to take.

    Wow goblins sure are determined to conquer your fort at any cost.

    Just had 2 sieges in a row, first siege was no match for my array of 9 iron disc traps and combined marksdwarves, however it got interesting because the hammergob squad rushed in and managed to jam ALL my traps with corpses, so the other 3 squads were climbing over these mountains of dead goblins to engage in mortal combat with my legendary military in the castle courtyard as my archers rained down bolts on them. Then a squad of trolls joined in and it got quite hairy for my military (they got exhausted of all the killing), so I sent 2 squads of militia to support them (Simple folk armed with a weapon, shield and helmet at all times to act as guards when people go beserk)
    It was a glorious battle and my militia commander bashed a spearmaster in the head so hard it flew off, smashing the goblin morale and they started the retreat.

    Before I could even get a chance to clean up though, the second siege arrived. Apparantly unaffected by the limbless, fleeing survivors of the previous siege they marched on. The trap array was still jammed so I prepared my military and militia for a grand melee once again. I set up a improvised hunter squad on the walls to act as a additional marksdwarf unit when I noticed a macegob squad dissapeared, quick research showed they were mounted on those giant cave bats adding a whole new challenge to the battle, as my archers wouldn't be safe. I quickly rallied the other two militia squads to protect the walls from flyers and ordered all other dwarfs to weaponize and suit up in case they were needed. Another amazing battle ensued where 3 squads of goblins were rushing over the piles of dead ones through the gate, to meet 26 dwarves in the courtyard (lost 4 militia during siege 1), whilst the archers where shooting flying goblins out of the sky and later on fighting on the walls too. Eventually after quite a long battle I lost 3 legendary axedwarfs, 16 militiamen in the courtyard, 7 on the walls and 12 marksmen. The battle ended when the wounded Hammer lord tried to get away from the fighting on his bat, when his bat took a bolt to the wing, breaking some joints and causing the two to crash 4 z levels down into the midst of the raging courtyard melee. Where a militiaman cut off his head as soon as he landed. Then the goblins ran and I could look over the remains of a amazing battle.

    All this time I had Age of Mythology's battle music playing in the background, it was GLORIOUS.

    This fort is under way and it's coming along bloody beautifully! I've got more copper than I know what to do with, a good amount of beautiful gems, loads of chalk EVERYWHERE (fuck yes for flux stone) and a good few veins of platinum.

    Going to work on finding a magma vent and then pumping it up to the forge area so I can have magma-powered forges.

    Got a lovely bedroom area dug out for my dwarves, all to be smoothed in the near future. Oh God this is going to be a lovely fortress.

    Been racking up wealth as fast as possible to get huge migrant waves. I need tonnes of masons, potential soldiers and smelters and stuff. Going to be great!

    I usually like to use my vampires as a unstopable digging machine, when you notice a vampire lure him into a 5x5 room using a burrow and a build workshop task, build a wall over the door as soon as he has the material.

    then channel a 1x1hole in the roof above the middle of the room anddesignate is as garbage dump. Mark a pick for dumping and as soon as it is in unforbid and make him mine a tunnel down. When you need big rooms mined order the vamps to do it, when its done order the vamps back to their cage and make them seal themselves in again by blocking the tunnel-room access. Once you have multiple legendary miners in there (build seperate rooms for trapping, when trapped remove walls between
    ) you can dig out huge rooms in minutes because the do not sleep,eat or drink. And ofcourse when it is time to breach the lava lake there are plenty of vamp. volunteers.

    Or train them into super soldiers by locking them up in a permanently on danger room with floodgates to the outdoors and when golbins arrive unleash them on the enemy.

    Another vampire, but they killed someone right in the middle of the meeting hall so it's all good, they got caught.


    Thing is I just happened to be looking through my health screen and saw someone who was "Pale". Zoom to them, they're not only pale but unconscious and in the middle of the meeting hall. Alarm bells went off at this point.

    I was digging about on the subterranean 51st z-level and I dug onto something and got the announcement: "You have found a curious underground structure."

    What the fuck is that?! I wiki'd it and nothing came up. It's a smooth wall! I can't see what's inside, I don't fucking want to! I haven't got a military setup yet so I can't investigate...

    You have found the circus. Don't worry it's all laughing clowns and funny jokes, wouldn't be called the circus if it wasn't, now would it?

    Seriously though you better have a good military.

    Like, really good.

    Just got invaded by a Roc (giant bird). It maimed my single, unarmoured dwarf in an instant.
    However it did not expect me recruiting everyone into the military and sending the entire fortress of angry dwarves armed with their fists. Even mothers carrying the babies joined in, they fucked that bird up in seconds.

    I think they're pretty hard to come by, your best bet is the magma sea I believe, and that's a pain in the ass to get to the surface. Mine was atleast 70 z levels down. That's a lot of iron, i'd rather just burn wood but i'd like to have it to melt people and things with too.

    Ah no, I'm willing to mine down and pump it up to the surface. I'd use less wood building all the pumps required than if I were to carry on making charcoal. It'd be worth it.

    The mayor who got caught sucking someone dry by a child, was all "nuh uh" and accused the child who saw him of doing it.

    not a very convincing defense.

    The mayor was involved in more cases than this. trust me children are on thin ice as it is, if I didn't know for sure he wasn't one i'd drop him down a couple z levels just on principle.

    I should drop my vampire so that he bleeds, then lock the children in a burrow with the only liquid being vamp blood. Release these vile children onto the next person who thinks it's wise to fuck with me (probably elves).
