Never played the game, but I have to say I am highly amused by this thread and the reports :D I can only imagine a coalition of angry dwarf mothers petitioning the mayor to get rid of that obsene, dangerous baby-killing machine, only to have shawty dismiss them with a curt "Still worth it."

^^This inspires me to make a fortress wide 'danger room' system for a sparta style fortress. The weak will be culled by relentless wooden training spear! Everyone will be drafted into the military and fight when there's an invasion. Better yet, I should bar myself from building any sort of fortification so that my dwarves have to face every danger head on.

You know I actually thought the fort was just going to end in that last fight. I still don't really know how the beast died, and none of the remaining living dwarves had gotten the kill, so it was either an act of valiance by a dying dwarf lol, or the beast knocked itself into a wall.

Things are looking dicey at the moment. A siege arrived just two game weeks after I started playing. The drawbridge isn't working.

Drums... drums from the deep.

They're coming!

:-) How is the military looking? Must be fairly unskilled after the last year?

Scratch that. I took the role of the militia commander and she/I was caught outside the malfunctioning drawbridge when they attacked. While I lost about 30 civilians and half the recruits, the commander and two other elite soldiers took down everyone by themselves. I fucking charged into 8-10 goblin bowmen, accompanied by trolls, entered a military trance and didn't even get a scratch.

That was amazing.

Shitty news, guys. My computer had the poor manners to bluescreen a few months into the game, meaning the all progress made since I loaded the save up was lost. Since I won't have time to play that much until tomorrow evening (was planning on finishing up and posting the report later today), perhaps it's better that the person next in takes over. I'll either skip to the end of the queue or right after the current one.

If the person next in line wishes it, I can send what I have written to him/her and have it incorporated into some fever dream or such.

If SpectralFremen doesn't show up I'll take over the fort for the year.

I am so confused but the thread is entertaining nonetheless.

So, did anyone pick up the save? I've got some time starting tomorrow otherwise. Just let me know!

alak, it doesnt look like anyone has started playing (lankill said he would but never said he had started) . iirc its your turn anyway. if you have time tomorrow i think you should play (try to finish) then. thats alot easier than trying to negotiate someone taking over for you.

apparently the tl app and my phones auto caps dont work together

Can't believe it killed everyone. Previous beasts were slain one-on-one. I'm glad this report contained a lot of FUN

I actually pictured it as

But yours works too. :p

So much FUN! Hahaha, good luck next dwarf king.

Alright, I'll get right back to work. I'll be able to fix that drawbridge and the causeway of death, at least.

i don't know how this game works but do you think you could have killed it with minimal losses if u shot it with a bunch of bow dwarves?

Looking forward to the next installment of the chronicles of horsemurdered Alak.

God I wish I could play this game properly and join in.
