    Ah, yes, a Shadow Under Idnish. That Dwarf surely had the Idnish look about him.

    I love that you can get underground invasions now. Maybe in the future (or if someone is good at modding) we could see dark elves showing up with metal equipment and tamed cavern monsters and beasts acting as dark forces who appear underground rather than on the surface

    Took me far too long to get the premise, so very reminiscent of Lovecrafts work! Once it clicked it was like listening to his audiobooks all over again. Really liked this, more please!

    This is a fascinating video and a very interesting way to play the game. Im guessing you didnt stop the dwarves from going there while building it, for the sake of actually finishing such a project, but still the idea of building something in fort mode from the perspective of another civilization is such a unique way to play the game and i love it.

    There's no training like live training. Honestly something more people should do to get their military dwarves skilled up before a proper dark force arrives at their fort

      I think the aquatic races of men tend to stay in their biomes so generally you won't see them. Though I have seen Spongemen in rivers before.
