    I just love the fact that Rigòth was apparently so heavy that the goblin snatcher trying to kidnap him couldn’t run away fast enough to escape.

    The slow suspenseful introduction of the Forgotten Beast was SO good... and I loved the reveal that the reason Northbridge has been having such "good luck" with Forgotten Beasts is that the Amphibian Men have been an unknown line of defense this whole time. I guess if your civilization emerged alongside them in the caverns, you have to pick up a few things. Maybe the reason they're so bad at fighting dwarves in comparison is just because they've never had to deal with them before-- technically speaking, Northbridge dwarves are an invasive species to the area!

    so... now we know why the frog people kept throwing their bodies into your defenses. whatever lurks in the depths is a lot scarier. also I feel like its time for a crossbow squad if the elves keep attacking with flying creatures, what also means the bridge entrance could be turned into a kill box.

    on your closing remarks of the lack of other DF creators even after the steam release: I will say, making stories out of DF ain't easy. You have grown acustommed to researching the guts of your generater world, to understand the politics, cultures, and to weave it all together into a cohesive story in your mind you can tell us, but the truth is after watching your scorchfountain series which I absurdly loved, I tried to let myself be carried away by DF myself (back before 1.0) and I just... wasn't able to. I downloaded third party tools to see the map, learn the cultures, I read about the music and dance my people liked, their gods and religion ,it was fascinating, but it was also so much information to weave into an story in the elegant way that you do as you narrate us. Regardless of the updated graphics, DF is a beast that in it's sheer complexity it's not easy to make stories out of, you just got lots of skill in it.

    I fantasize about creating videos like yours a lot, and I've been practicing playing forts where I keep tract of the stories I find in a little journal. There is still a lot of the game I don't understand so that's a big hurdle for me, but the other is that the biggest draw of what makes your videos so special to me is the art, and while I draw lots of landscapes and animals, I've never really gotten the hang of humanoids. So I need to figure out a style for drawing that is quick and comfortable for me. You had a lot of art for this episode! How much time did getting the art for this one take? And how much recording of you playing the game gets cut out?
    Thanks for the tips and encouragement. I will keep trying my best!

      "I fantasize about creating videos like yours a lot" - hard same, minus the art - I could probably manage some of the Artifacts, maybe the occasional Forgotten Beast, but the rest is beyond me. Likewise I've played DF on and off for years, but there's still a huge amopunt of the game that is a mystery to me - like the intricacies of anything beyond construction, survival and basic production, or what goes on in caverns - I've never encountered a cavern layer! And yet the stories still unfold! My current Fort has finally overcome it's Were-lizard problem (at a cost of 50% of its population killed or exiled), has a 'tame' vampire in the militia (we lock them in between battles!), and have just discovered bee-keeping, and are trying to construct a citadel of black jet over the entrance to their tunnels. I'd love to record it all and post it up, but it's a fierce amount of work - where and how to begin? Still, I have some time on my hands atm, maybe I should heed @Kruggsmash 's encouragement and at least try! Good luck if you decide to have at it - we'd all love more DF stories!

    How many dwarves do you have? Get a 60 dwarf military going and stop bribing goblins

    5 min in, stopping to comment. I have recently had so many flying elves in one of my fortress. I had never seen so many giant flies, giant cockroaches, giant butterflies. What I did to counter them was towers with underground access, so I could send archer squads and station them there.
    Post episode comment: fantastic art by Vanrikenstien there. That view from the western bank is just amazing!

    I'm really looking forward to seeing more of you on Kitfox

    Injured my hand on the job so now I’m in my comfy bed watching Kruggsmash, thanks for making my morning better.

    Hey Krugg, just wanted to send you some encouragement that this is one of the few currently running series on youtube that I will stop whatever I have playing to run. Its got everything I want in a Dwarf Fortress video, megastructures, roleplaying(? at least as much can be done in fortress mode) fun art, good editing. IF you keep making them, I'll keep watching 'em.

    I already loved the volcano fortress you did in the past, but this one here is even more awesome. I only wished, constructing above ground buildings wasn't such a hassle, I'd do it more often myself...

    Loved the look on the Snatchers face when he noticed that Rigòth was FAR to heavy for him to carry away hehehe
    Poor guy absolutly freaked out before the Guards caught up to him

    A longtime fan but infrequent commenter. Wanted to come out of the woodwork to say, l agree - Northbridge is a glorious fortress. ❤ The jewel windows alone must make living there quite visually dazzling. Like the impact of stained glass windows on the medieval mind.
