Fractal artifacts... It happens. (Been spending too much time at Bay12Forums)

I made a fortress after a long time not playing this great game and now I already have snatchers running and watchtowers being built.
Also, my hunter one-shotted a giant eagle. I'm so proud of him :3

When/if you make a marksdwarf squad, always let them hunt more than train. It levels them up a lot. I have a marksdwarf hunt for a year and he's somewhere near expert.

EDIT : Also, Genesis mod is fun.

I think I'll stick to the vanilla. Also, is making brass useful? I've got some magma and the ingredients for making brass.

EDIT
OH MY GOD AIMED ATTACKS
/nerdgasm

When The Toady One releases the next version I'm gonna make a badass axedwarf and kill the ♥♥♥♥ out of every elf I find. With cool combos.

EDIT

My expedition leader is a true dwarf. She's just drinking dwarven beer and trying to make some sense about the stockpile records while she should be trading.
I guess she's not interested in trading. Also, the outpost liaison is just nagging there right in her ear.

What time is it?


Adventuring time!

Night creatures, aimed attacks, civilization street cred, lairs, etc etc etc.

Adventure mode is so much win right now. Biting a human chieftess in her hand.

She's stunned.

Running through one of the new Fortresses at night.
Weapon attacks don't wake the guy you attack, and have a 100% hit chance on sleepers...
And only sometimes wake up allies.

I ran through the fort, collecting the weapons because the armour was too big for me, cutting the throat of everyone I encountered.
Next up: Attempting to take someone's guts out with my teeth. Or a toothy decap.
Already killed by throat-shaking. And taken hands and feet off with my teeth...

Are there any graphics packs for the new version yet?

So, I recently took Dwarf Fortress up again. I have building, making things, other actions nailed, now I just have to get my head around the seemingly tangled web of the micro-management. Any tips for me?

Get Dwarf Therapist. It's a little helper program that will make managing your little dwarves 10 times easier. Dear god, I couldn't play without it.

Me neither. It's good that they update it to be compatible with the new versions pretty quickly.

I always read that thing as "Dwarf The Rapist", the name left me wondering for the first time I ran it.

cannot unsee.

The new mayday pack is so clear and pretty. I absolutely wub it.

Decided to try playing again today.
Dug a tunnel.
Tried to figure out how to designate a dump site.
Got frustrated.
Gave up on DF, once again.
