Using "pacifism" against necromancers and demons 

Imagine a fort with a self destruct mechanism that empties a huge lava pool in case of such a massive raid..

D&D prompt: “The most delicate glasswear in the realm is heated and carved with such precision and care that it could be considered magical- glass vanities being able to hold infinite amounts of makeup and hygiene items, and glass coffins make their held deceased immune to spells that would cause them to rise from the dead. A great Storm Giant king can only be brought to its knees by a Dwarven-made axe of this green glass, but the greatest blowers live in a society of pacifists, honoring their heroic ancestors by living in a place where no one else thought possible. They’ve recently lost two children to marauding undead.”

"That's going to need to be a closed-barrel funeral" This was pure entertainment.

Ah...The good old ATOM SMASHER Dwarven tech that can kill the very gods

Just want to say that, aside from your great narration awe-inspiring challenges in the already pretty challenging game, I really enjoy your architecture. It's not just ingenious traps, as in this episode, but room shapes and arrangement - it's just aesthetically pleasing. I hope you'll continue making and sharing amazing stories like this.

This was lovely. Interesting constraints that made for a compelling narrative.

Ah yes, the boatmurdered defense strategy

Trap making is a game of precision. A lot of mistakes I noticed were corrected later on but the lost time started to add up. The first trap was a bit larger than it needed to be to stop the first waves of aggression. After that a universally lethal project should have been undertaken at a new point to connect both the surface and the depths. A multichannel pitfall trap with magma and a failover is usually the best way to ensure no matter how big or vast your enemies they all get cooked to a perfect 165°F. Would also recommend stationing a permanent watch stander with live in quarters near this point to avoid accidently deep frying guests. A tertiary failover/backdoor can be built to enable access while still forcing invaders through the bottleneck. As for trying to play DF pacifist, existence is an act of violence and if violence is going to be the final answer you should endeavor to get there first. Raiding parties is the only way to ensure the undead hordes don't grow to the point the world itself dies. The only way Godmirror could have lived was for the necromancer tower to have fallen. Best lesson to learn here that you never touched on, build failovers into your traps. All of them. Better to have it and never need it than need it and never have it. Also cage traps can be a fun and exiting way to both voluntell guests what to do as well as prevent possible workplace accidents that dwarfs are prone to. Would enjoy seeing you try this again while expanding upon what you learned with a goal in mind next time of destroying the necromancer trade center.

It does amuse me that the pacifists stylise their rooms after arrowheads. I look forwards to watching more of your work!

The way you play has helped me incorporate more imagination to the stories I create

Not 100% sure tossing your enemies to crash into the ceiling then covering them in magma so their flesh burns off qualifies as pacifism... but you do you.

I would be interested in the part where you talk about doing some role play in my own runs :) as always looking forward to the next video

Another great DF video! Keep up the good work.

As a new player these videos are inspirational

Love this content! I await every new roleplay DF shenanigans as a DM/GM, flawless execution for roleplay, maybe a couple fumbles on defense this round; but tons of cool new traps to try!

with the pace of things i glanced down expecting the video to be almost over and there was still 25 minutes left.

These DF videos are great! Keep it up!

Wow, this is some of the best DF content i have ever seen Everything from narration to editing and execution is of the highest craftsdwarfship! Pls, for the sake of Armok, continue pumping it out!

You know what you missed when designing all these traps? A red, glowing water feature that is turned on when an invasion or elf caravan arrives. They are extremely tricky to get right but that mist gives a great mood buff to the defenders. It's also not dependant on enemy size. Bonus points if you safely put in windows to the emergency burrow on one side of the entrance chamber so your citizens can watch those violations of the Geneva convention that are keeping them safe.

I love the roleplay guide idea, I’ve kinda had problems with getting into my dwarves heads.

Guess youtube recommending small channels finally paid off. Keep up the good work

I'M ADDICTED TO THIS CONTENT

This was incredible. I saved it for later, I definitely have to try implementing those traps myself. I wish you would keep making these, it's fast, ingenious, and entertaining. Subbed for sure

"...there is no peace, for in the grim darkness of the Dwarf Fortress, there is only war."

Would love to see the full vods of these playthroughs.

0:45 ...Yes-yes, definitely undead spies and not servants of the Under-Empire.

"Hm? What's this?" *touches dangerous pressure plate and gets vaporized by a bridge*

The kid is -1 years old... thats a fetus that crawled out early

dude you give me the old ambiguous amphibian narration vibes, definitely subscribed

Nice one and thanks for uploading it despite losing at the end

bruh this video was amazing this the typa DF content i’m tryna see

such a great starting location,

The Serpent Person: 'He felt uneasy after not being able to take it easy for so long' 😂

Absolutely loved this, please tell me you've given another go at a trap fortress, I crave ir right now lol

Love this so much! Enjoying the imagination. You totally lost at that accidental murder but im glad you continued.

Keep the Dwarf fortress content coming, only Krugsmash is doing it better and he's dedicated to the game.

dude, you have got to have more content like this ..

Love your vids and the little stories you create

was waiting for Dwarf fortress bro

Nice. I have been looking forward to your upload.

Okay I just dwarve fortress so thank you for all these advices

This was really good! I enjoyed the trap variety and the cruelty of the world.

You should try to do an undead fortress with necromancers and thralls from the dwarves

The plot of this world reminds me of the Myth RTS series by Bungie... "Casualties"

The fact that the undead can vommit is super weird to me.

Forgotten beasts make really bad guard dogs, since they are usually made of fragile stuff. I would have used one of the demons you can find encased in obsidian

Great story telling, awesome video I liked it a lot

Really liked the tragedy, great variety!

pacification chamber --- lmao!

YES more DF content, I’m here for it all my brother

Love that map! Wish I could find something similar

do these videos use mods? or is this all vanilla df? I saw the glacier video as well and I have no idea how you would even generate a world that has all this stuff in it, pretty new to df, a reply would be greatly appreciated

Also if you're actually in the year 2000+ it's unlikely any new book will ever be written. (Aside from ones about recent forts probably?)

If you had increased your wealth faster would that scale both the forgotten beast and the undead raids levels or just the forgotten beasts? Because that might actually be beneficial...

What is that troll doing just running around not attacking? How? Why?

This video was amazing

Love your DF videos. I know they are for a really niche audience but I think they are cool. I would really like to watch a full series of a world were you can try wathever you want. War or whatever. Not just challenges. Because your role-playing stories are so fun. Also, could you link a video for custom world gen like this? I would love to learn how to tweak the world much better.

Sludge. Its dookie colored man.

what music did you use for the beginning of the video? sounds banging

how did you get a strong river next to a volcano? lucky. . only thing better would be a waterfall next to a volcano! XD gimmie yor map seeeeeeeed. . . please

I've heard you can use coins for dwarven shotguns's ammo. That doesn't count as weapons right?

Another day another banger 🔥

More interested in runs than guides, but I did just, straight up sub to this channel for Dwarf Fortress. Can't say I've seen much else that interests me here, if I have I don't recall.

ahem...... and one goblin for some reason

How did you get a world like this? A world where necromancers will fully take over i mean. Its basically an apocalypse inside DF. It seems preety sick

Retry this but without pacifism? Maybe w/ a proper dwarf army you could do it

Can't you make permanent burrows for the children so they stay safe till they grow up?

Can you show how you build a world with advanced world gen pls

What Tile-set do you use?

I turn off wear creatures. I've had too many forts destroyed by a single brawl that spreads to infect all my dwarfs in two moons

really nice content

Your second link to Twisted Logic Gaming's magma mister is accidentally still referencing the shotgun. I believe you meant to link to this one? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ceOL5KM_MLk.html

Epic video

Pacifism can only go so far. Lesson learned.

Actual question: Is potash pronounced po-tash or pot-ash?

I blocked off a spot that had olm people in it (half had steel gear 🙃) and forgot about them until they destroyed a forgetten beast. Luckily the beast had fumes that killed ~20 of them but when i opened it i was attacked by like 50... so many losses... on their part 😂 i only had 3 dwarfs injured, a dead dr, and 2 fighters dead

Excellent

nice video

Fortres of peace, love & pacifism aka Boat murdered new try 😂

Very nice 👍 only point: not easy to listen to. I'm not a native speaker, probably that''s the problem

GOOD DO MORE HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

I would like to see that kind of tutorial.
