Only elite ones thankfully, but yeah if there are elite ones it would be better to engage them in some other way.
Also we have a serious vampire problem:
Vampire-related death toll is at 10 now (and that's just this year).
Edited:
One, who I suspect being a vampire due to his sudden aggression, has been struck down when trying to attack the captain:
Also Orkel's going to get an aneurysm.
-
-
Try locking 5 dwarves up at a time, and see if one of them isn't getting hungry. There's your vampire.
-
Well the problem is, we're nearing 190 dwarfs now, it would take ages.
-
Better than losing legendary dwarves though.
-
True, but it'll have to wait because everything is going to stopping the captain of the guard from exterminating half the fortress with his extremely harsh punishments (he punches them once, then kicks their head in in an extremely methodical fashion that creeps me out).
Next player will have to try to weed out the vampires, doubt I'll find any in time (mid winter already) unless I'm really lucky.
Edited:
Just when I though everything was going to be ok, a titan arrives.
-
I'm a complete vampire hunting newbie (well, they are new
) but I'll hopefully find the git.
-
Gits. There must be like 5 of them.I'm a complete vampire hunting newbie (well, they are new) but I'll hopefully find the git.
Anyway I sealed off the entrance with the bridge as I do not want to risk the currently weak military taking on a titan. Military is under training and I've ordered some iron breastplates and helms (which can later be melted when a better material is available).
Edited:
Aaaaand Spring has arrived!

I shall leave a few notes for my successor:
I shall return in 7 years.

Downloading it now, let's see how this goes!
(though it's getting late, I'll still get an hour or so on tonight)

OH DEAR CHRIST, THERE'S NO BOOZE!
-
Never has been either I think (I didn't see any production facilities).
On the plus side, that farm room should provide you with plenty of ingredients for the booze.
Edited:
I'm actually surprised because apart from the vampires draining babies every night, the captain being a psychotic mass murderer, there being no booze, being invaded by legions of giant mosquitoes every now and then, and a titan having forced everyone inside, I'd say it's going pretty well.
-
The booze shortage is slowing the dwarves so much, I think. I've ordered 3 brewers to cover, but will mostly be assessing damage today and maybe do spring today, then the rest tomorrow.
Also, I'm about 70% sure that the mayor is a fucking vampire
-
Forget the mayor, it's that fucking kitten I tell you. I already busted him when he cold bloodedly murdered 3 infants, the animals are plotting something and it stinks to the top. I tried exposing them by convicting that kitten but the less sharp dwarves saw it as a joke and got pissed.The booze shortage is slowing the dwarves so much, I think.

-
Oh god, 2 cold cases and like 15 unsolved cases. Justice may be for the next person, I'm just struggling to get some booze up before summer! (and ideally get that goose and gander breeding so we have an eggselent food production capability)
Oh god, every time a pot is made, it's used to store the plump helmets before the brewer gets to it. Then the brewer cancels the job, so no booze is made, thus production of boze slows again. I'm going to get 4 craftsdwarfs shops on pots alone, to try to outbuild the storage needs, so I can start brewing.
-
It's the mayor. He has multiple aliases. It was really weird when I assigned the office to him and the bowyer was also selected. I just realized that.
-
Just woke up, should have spring out by 9:30, and hopefully be done by 3:00 or so, though I'm getting some FPS issues due to ancient PC, and boozeless dwarfs!
Edited:
Well, it all started with no booze, and our wood situation was dire. Someone had ordered the creation of an industrial amount of ash, I don't know what to do with that, so I will relegate it to my successor.
Initial fortress shots:

Crafting Level (main level -1) http://imgur.com/rfGhz

Sniper Tower (main level +2) http://imgur.com/tPheS
The spirits of Urist Asmeldur and Tobul Stukonrovod, former miners are rumored to be lingering around the halls, I must order memorials engraved to them.
There is an ancient one-eyed gecko, with a long trunk, gigantic in size, foul spittle dripping from it's mouth. I must try to deal with that, too.
I begin orders for an excavation from the stairs down to the farm, to the kitchens for our great dining hall, hoping that this will expediate the process of brewing our plants. I also order a small room designated, to hold the goose and gander we own.
I also yell at a few of the worthless hands in the dining hall - "WE NEED SOME FUCKIN' BOOZE LADS, STUMPY, LAZY AND DOPEY OVER THERE, ALL START BREWING!"
I also gave orders to slaughter a load of the cats - we're going to need to brew all of the plants we can.
I also ordered two more of those slackers to earn their keep, chucked a pick at them, and hoped that it'd improve their productivity.
Dumat was found dead today, drained of blood entirely. This situation is truly dire. One of my little birds also informed me that the mayor was seen around the area. I'll keep an eye on it.
Kubuk was found dead immediately afterwards. We might have to quarantine the fortress.
12 Granite - We finally made some booze. Only 5 barrels o' rum, though, that gold's mine.
We really need a large communal dorm - that way we can catch these foul creatures whilst they are feasting!
The Child, Thikut demanded a load of stuff that we couldn't do, and went insane. Strange boy, the military had to put him down like a rabid dog.
Orkel's gonna flip a shit.
Oh fuck, another load of migrants (30ish)
I fear we'll lose them to the titan.
I sent out the military, and they slew the beast! We lost two migrants to it, and I fear that the axedwarf Zasit Ochrefin may not survive, as her foot was torn off by the beast.
Oh well, at least we can call off the burrow commands, and get some wood!
Spring is nearly over, but the alcohol production is slowly increasing, and we're grabbing wood from outside. Murder those foul trees!
I've ordered all non-noble or soldier beds to be removed, and am constructing a communal dorm, that way we can catch the foul vampires.
19th of Felsite: An elven caravan arrives, but shortly afer, a kobold ambush, and foul thieves come, several of our dwarves perished.
I sent out two of our military dwarves, and they slaughtered the kobold ambush, but the thieves fled. We now have a few more iron spears and shortswords from the scum.
Blah blah, all stuff aside, the FPS issues are starting to REALLY bug me, it's going 4x slower than I expected for some reason My dorfs are moving one square / 2 seconds, this could take all day
-
Yeah that was me, we were running really low on food so the idea was to then make a tonne of potash to fertilize the farms. Then I forgot about it when the farming kicked in and they've been making ash for an entire seasonJust woke up, should have spring out by 9:30, and hopefully be done by 3:00 or so, though I'm getting some FPS issues due to ancient PC, and boozeless dwarfs!

Also the captain of the guard is using an artifact hammer, so he should kick some serious ass.
-
Oh yeah, the captain of the guard's dominated a load of kobolds and the titan. We've not got an ashery and the carpenters aren't inclined to get off their asses and make a barrel, so I can't really make one atm.
We've got 200+ drink now, the titan's dead, and I've added a new bit to the entrance (a quick bridge) so that's a bit better. Also a few more vampire related deaths, but y'know.
I've been keeping it at 0 idlers somehow, despite the fact that next to nothing is being done. I honestly don't know what they're doing that they count as work, because it seems to me that they're doing shit all
Still only mid summer though.
Carved some fortifications in the captain of the guard's room (only good soldier, really) and that should stop vampires from feeding on him...
Edited:
Oh, I just realised what caused the FPS hit.
Our 87 giant mosquito friends!
-
They might deal with the titan, with any luck.
-
He's dead, all we lost was the left foot of a crappy dwarf and 2 migrants!
Now there's 187 mosquitos. Oh god, we're sealed in, and have wood, but it's slowing FPS to 6.
-
Mass produce iron weapons, recruit all the dwarfs in a huge mob, charge the mosquitoes head on. Heck by now the dwarfs should even have the number advantage.
Too bad it would end in a tantrum spiral, because it would be awesome.
-
I'm starting to suspect that the main blacksmith is dead, as I've not noticed him make anything for 3 months.
Then again, that's the duration it takes for a mason to make a fucking table on this fort! (it's glorious)
Er nope, he's definitely alive, just a lazy dumbfuck.
4 FPS. It's taking miners around 30 seconds to mine a rock.
-
Truly, these mosquitoes are both a blessing and a curse.
they'll deal with any threats, but they murder the framerate
-
They also crashed it, I only lost autumn to late summer, so hopefully I'll make the whole year and pass it on by 3pm or so.
Not much going on, I'm just trying to boost alcohol production, and see what I can do with metal production, but the dwarfs are doing next to nothing, it seems
Also, there's a load of unhappy dwarves, this might not turn out well!
-
Make a dwarf vault. Lock some happy dwarves who don't have many friends in a small section with an own little farm and water supply. That way if a tantrum spiral starts, at least those few will live to repopulate the fortress.They also crashed it, I only lost autumn to late summer, so hopefully I'll make the whole year and pass it on by 3pm or so.

-
I've designated orders, but the miners are a tad lethargic. It should work, though, as there is little to no chance of immediate dorf death, so they should be happy for a few months at least.
-
Fun fact:
There are 2 dead legendary miners floating in the cisterns. If you have ghost problems, that's why.
-
Solved them already, there are two slabs set up. I'm trying to get a slab for a stupid dead kid, but the masons are so slow!
I've just done the maths. At 100 FPS average, a fort will take an hour a year. At 4FPS, 25 hours a year
I'm going to disable weather and temperature, for now at least, as this is too slow to play.
I'm sorry, that only increased FPS to 5. I'm going to have to forfeit my turn, you can continue with the last one if you want, or if not, here's late summer on my one. I've managed to get some wood, kill the titan and get some booze. You might want to re-enable temp and weather in the ini, they only increased FPS to 5, it's those damn mosquitos!

Sorry guys :c
-
Will have to do an emergency fix, edit the raws so all the giant mosquitoes die instantly. No other way to continue, really. Downloading now.
-
Either that or get liquid helium cooling and OC the fuck out of the CPU.
-
The giant mosquitoes exploded into a fine pink mist. FPS suddenly went up to playable levels. I'm not using the tileset, so there are some strange visual errors like sand being Äs and trees looking like levers, but it's better than the tileset still.
Edited:
So many unhappy dwarves. A tantrum spiral is inevitably approaching.

Have you converted the saves back?The giant mosquitoes exploded into a fine pink mist. FPS suddenly went up to playable levels. I'm not using the tileset, so there are some strange visual errors like sand being Äs and trees looking like levers, but it's better than the tileset still.

-
Why the hell was there a dwarven child with an iron battle axe outside? He got snatched up by a goblin. How was he using that thing?
Edited:
What do you mean?
-
After applying the tileset Pokey was using (Phoebus), he had to run 2 bats to convert the inis and the savefile to be compatible with the tileset.
-
But can they be used to convert it back?
Edited:
Jesus christ, some previous ruler has ordered hundreds of stones dumped from spot X to the other side of the fort, and the only way to the dumps is a one tile wide corridor that is now packed with a hundred dwarves trying to push past eachother and nothing is being accomplished
There's more important shit to be done than to mass dump stone right now so I ordered them to dump no more
-
LNP could do it if I remember correctly.
-
FPS is still around 20 even with the dead mosquitoes, I suppose the fact that there are 226 dwarves and all of them are still hauling their last stones is causing it.
I recommend capping dwarves at 120 in the next succession fort, and cap children to 30.
Edited:
This is seriously unplayable with this fps
-
That explains why they were all busy and I couldn't figure out why.
-
Human caravan arrived, got ambushed by goblins. Every single human died to a brain hit >:I
-
I already said I'm thick, so surely you can stop ragging on about how thick I am.
