Welcome to Gaia! ::

My latest fortress is the exact opposite of my last one. To start off, my huntsdwarf was eaten by wolves right off the bat, shortly after training the dogs I brought along to keep him safe from wolves.

...

Regardles, the dogs have killed a kobold or two and mostly just mill around. The point is that I have 3 layers of silt and sand to get through before I even find stone, meaning my fortress has a value that is abysmally low. The first two waves of immigrants passed with nothing. With 6 dwarves I had to manage digging, chopping, cooking, brewing, farming, processing, thread and cloth and rope making, furnishing, carving what stone I do have into something useful, burning wood into ash and charcoal, making fertilizer, more farming, fending off bears and kobolds every now and again, and pissing off the elves.

Needless to say I was looking forward to the first wave of immigrants and getting 4-6 more dwarves to supplement the 6 I have.

End of spring, year 2. I went from 6 to 30 dorfs.

I'm gonna need more beds.

o.o

The kobolds were just looting stuff from the corpse of my hunter on the other side of the map. I never bothered burying him. There is no tolerance for failure.

The dogs would just harass the kobolds while running back and forth from our hole.

As for the bears? ...well, there was one that came to sniff around the trade depot after I offended the elves and told them to get the ******** out if they weren't going to trade. Axebeard, my treefeller, put it in 3 pieces before I had a chance to pause.

Looks like I'm well on my way to failure.

. . . . 'Snot working. Can't open it. =|

Do you need more dylithium crystals?

It's for Mac too, but you need to learn to read the matrix, so ******** that.

If you computer can't run the game to some degree, you need to buy a computer not built in the eighties. The only taxing thing of the game is the CPU draw for when you have 600 units trying to pathfind in a gigantic map full of crap.
