I built a castle.
It started by building a wall around my fortress entrance. Then a barracks. Then another, much larger wall. Then a moat around that by channeling the river and building a drawbridge. Then I started on a second level so I could put fortifications up on the wall to slaughter invaders... but then I started paving it over. I needed more barracks space anyways, so I built up. Now I have an enclosed and paved area above ground with a roof. I'll probably build another floor up from there.
Castle tiem.

s**t. Dragon.
I had no idea this game could be so graphics intensive. Fireballs!
...seriously though, one of my champion wrestler/speardwarves managed to stop it at the gate long enough for the others to get there. No casualties other than an unfortunate treefeller.
Ridiculous though. The dragon got wrestled down.

I wish I would get dragons and s**t. Despite my best efforts to play in hard mode, I hardly get any legitimate threats.
Which is why I'm dicking around in the world generator parameters to make an apocalyptic wasteland of undeath and magma rivers.

I'm actually playing in the tamest place imaginable.
Now please excuse me while I drown some elves.

Either I'm doing it wrong or I'm too ambitious and the world generator lacks the ability to make a world so evil. It rejected like 3000 maps and said it couldn't create a map with the current savagery parameter.

I walled in my trade depot when the elves arrived. Then built a ramp. Then started dropping rocks onto them by building a floor attached to grates (which cannot be done). Unfortunately a few of my peons were lost at sea.
Not mourning their loss we removed the grates, built a floor with grates at the center, and designated it as a pond.
Every dorf grab a bucket, it's time to colorfully illustrate one of my favorite Chinese hells.

You need to capture dangerous fish and fill your elf pit waist high with water.

I like this fish plan.
It'd be like the famous parahna pits to drop your enemies into, except with carp and lamprey, and significantly more horribly deadly.

Okay. Elves eventually WILL go insane and attack you if you trap them in a room that's slowly filling with water and no way out.
It was a slaughter. From the look of his injuries the 4 dorfs in there each grabbed a limb and started pulling. Blood everywhere. Limbs right and left. And leveling up.

So I can't seem to make a map of horrors and damnation. Maybe I should learn how to mod creature files and turn goblins into something more challenging.

Or actually play a fortress long enough to get besieged?

Gets too boring before that. Any more than forty dwarves and I had shittons of slackers because there is nothing to do.

Try a good aligned map.
Apparently good maps are just as dangerous as evil aligned ones, and unicorns are effing vicious.
According to the starters guide anyway.

I think they fixed that. Elephants aren't mindless killing machines and unicorns aren't hostile.
