In my current fort, the Chamber of Smoke, my intent is to fortify in the caverns, maybe take in some new migrants just to join the military, then lay siege upon the underworld. Safely. To become comfortable with more challenging scenarios. May try a siege fort soon too, finally.

The Chamber of Smoke - Current fortress. Again, using the strategy of making an efficient starting base to grow population, and now I have a King and most of the world's wealth (small, young world), so I'm focusing downward.

I don't do sieges yet, just mega beasts and such.

Starvault - still had some bad habits, but I figured out how to get super rich. Got to 2 gem pillars.

The Duchess had the King consort killed, Queen died of sadness, so no Mountainhome. Sealed vault of divine treasures. Duchess is living it up.

Slingweed - I didn't know what I was doing yet, but I was starting to learn. Every citizen had a wooden house, big buildings had basements up to 3 levels. Everyone lived by where they worked. Lots of fishing. Elves *hated* me. May resume one day.

Godbasements - abandoned first attempt at mega underground engineering. Made the artificial river and cavern to move into and seal off, but wave after wave of giant agitated elephants pounded the surface, and I moved to a better map.

Searchinks - my very first fort. I started right at Steam release, watched 2 BlindIRL videos.

It went OK, until a weremarmot or wereocelot or something bricked it. I didn't know how to deal with them, then.

It's painful to look at, but I did get down to magma.

Icyrelic - my first natural challenge fort. One tower, maybe 30 levels down. Had a pond fill zone on top of the staircase and grates for mist all the way down. Trapped a polar bear. Fun but messy and limited! I didn't know how to manage aquifers very well back then.

Posting because I honestly cannot figure out what I just saw. Two emergency pickup trucks with full flashing lights and sirens just sped down my road, both pulling trailers, one with a 4 wheeler and one with a john deere riding mower, they turned off on different roads...
