Whatever happened to the caged goblin that was listed when the goblins first appeared? I hope he didn't/doesn't cause more damage then the beak dog.

Still, were it not for the fact that the game presents a sheer vertical cliff of complexity to a starting player, this thread would make me want to play the game.
Try The Complete and Utter Newby Tutorial for Dwarf Fortress.

I was also too intimidated by the learning cliff to try this game, until I found this. It's an incredibly easy, step-by-step guide on how to start and build a fortress.

Most other guides and how-tos assume the player knows basic things, such as what the hell am I looking at?, but the C.U.N... um... that's not a great acronym... the tutorial I linked explains all of that in detail, in an easy to follow way.
Okay, my official stance after doing this is I hate you and Internet Kraken. This damn game is my new heroine-cocaine-meth. I can't stop playing it and worse still I don't know why I keep it up in the first place.

Because losing is fun?

I feel you though, I've literally lost entire days to this game. Like, sit down to play for a couple hours, look up, where the hell did the last 12 hours go?.

Oh thank you Root for letting us wear that good ol' bronze (or even worse) crap so we all died! Well that's one squad less to defend your sorry one-armed ass against the goblin hordes. Pah!
Hold on, I left specific instructions for the crafters to bedeck you with iron...

Oh...


There will be words had with the crafters. Pointed ones.

(OOC: Sad face :( )

No. Don't blame internetKraken for "wasting" time on the mandate.

Cuz you know what happens when he ignores it?

PsychopathMcHammerer, Captain of the guard, will go and MURDER a valuable metalworking dwarf.

Or a valuable something else dwarf.

Or some random dwarf at random.


The lesson here children, is don't mess with the mandates.

Ahahah, I never realised my dorf was so devious...that clever gambit with the statue was hilarious. Oh, and do you have any random siege operators lying around? Goblin hordes sound like a good thing to practice catapult use from behind nice friendly walls....

Stinthad can go on a rampage. Commander Root will be there to stop it.

Except here's the thing: Dwarven Justice means that the slaughter via hammering is the Captain of the Guard performing his duties.

So remember how when our narrator punched a war golem and was sentanced to a hammering (and it would have been lethal too, save for setting an infant as captain of the guard)? The thing is that failed mandates produce similar hammerings for whichever dwarf the game determines was responsible for the noble's request for lay pewter going unfufilled.

In this case, it would be a VERY valuable metalworker.

Be happy then, for bed-ridden dwarfs only bring misery, entropy, and more job cancellation spamming messages when the fort starts getting fun.
