Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I always end up making forts in places nobody can path to, so I only get the first couple immigrant waves that are guaranteed. :(

What the game needs are aphrodisiacs to force love making so births aren't just totally random and rare. Every other game like this has some method of increasing your numbers at will. DF's natural birth system is way, way too slow.

Do you think dorfs are just out there laying pipe all the time? Who has time for that? Look at the daily schedule of a dorf.

Wake up, drink beer, pet cat, drink beer, mine, drink beer, move rubble, drink beer, pet cat, wait, where's the cat? RAGE, drink beer, sleep.

Where in all that busy schedule do you expect a couple of dorfs to find time to make love? For crying out loud, they spend any free time they have trying to figure out if that's a lady dorf under all that chainmail and beard. Besides, everyone knows children attract vampires

They don't even need to have sex! They can impregnate each other telepathically! lol

Lol yeah, when they're close enough to each other and not busy working they release spores

And deprive dwarven kids of a childhood?

I love it. Good luck with your latest immigrant wave. Looks like it’ll be a doozy to sort out.

Nice. I've never played DF but I've got a good thousand hours in Rimworld (rookie here obvs). I'm thinking when I get home from work it's time to update the modlist and waste all of my free time for the next month.

Good luck! I've been currently puttering around in adventure mode, losing all the geese I being with me to cause mayhem. The mayhem was short lived.
