Oh god so many eggs. was flangaling around tying to find my food stocks and I though that the hens stoped producing for some reason. Then I found all the eggs sitting in a furniture stockpile. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of eggs.

I cooked them all into lavish meals ready to trade and where no one can eat them.

Here there be coming dragons.

My best miner fell in the water while channeling the last bit of land that separated the river from the channel leading to my well, drown and water pressure pushed the body against the grate under the well. Now I have a dead body stuck in the underground tunnel beneath my well, and the others are looking for him. Great.

My best fort so far though, 122 dwarves :D

I think you can just go and forbid all of the body parts and items and the dwarves will stop looking.

It's not a floorgate just under the well, it's a wall grate in the underground tunnel leading to it, I'm pretty sure my well is functionnal.

Oh, alright then.

Pro-tip though, try building a U shape in the tunnel which provides water to the cistern. Put a floorgrate over the top of the U on the cistern side. Building destroyers can't destroy buildings from below, so this acts as a filter, letting water in and keeping trolls or whatever out.

That won't stop trolls. Trolls can swim, letting them through the fortification, and then they can destroy the grate, assuming its on the same level.

after playing an old fort straight like a madman, finally lost motivation when the game crashed after I unplugged myself from a projector :| (that, and my Giant Peach-Faced Lovebird eggs finally hatched!)

I suppose I'll wait until DF2014 (or extreme boredom?) before maniacally playing DF again

I don't know any specifics, but if you want ascii art and the "losing is fun" attitude of DF, you're looking for a roguelike. There's hundreds, maybe thousands of them, and I don't know enough about them to recommend any specific examples.

If you want a complicated strategy game with things built by the player, look into Aurora 4x. Its like Europa Universalis crossed with Total War, in space. You manage basically everything about your galactic empire, from designing ships to colonizing and terraforming distant worlds. Its ridiculously in-depth, down to the fact that you have to deal with politics, in that shitty naval officers might get promoted to important ranks based on political trickery, not merit.

Heres the TL thread about the game, but its pretty outdated: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/games/326547-aurora-4x-dwarf-fortress-in-space?page=2

Ok first and foremost, set Dwarf Therapist to sort by migration wave. This will sort the dwarves in order of arrival. You can be fairly certain the vampire is in one of the more recent waves, as if he was in an older one, he would've struck sooner.

Second, look through the dwarves checking their thoughts. Any dwarf that has no thoughts about food, drink, or sleep is a suspect, as vampires dont eat, drink, or sleep. Another thing to be suspicious about is a huge list of previous memberships, (the blue text in thoughts and relationships menu). They tend to have lots of children, none of whom are in the fort. They also tend to have no relatives in the fort.

Once you've narrowed your search down to a few dwarves, wall these dwarves into small rooms. Monitor them, and if any get tired, hungry, thirsty, or fall asleep, they are not vampires and can be set free. If anyone doesnt get hungry, thirsty, or fall asleep after a year, they're the vampire.

the problem with your suggestion is that this has been going on for a while. I just started to care because he killed my militia commander.
