====================AUTUMN====================
And we're back after a short break.
The caravan has arrived, bringing with it.... nothing useful, as usual. I get some cloth just because, and offer some of the excess cranberry wine we have. I've tried getting a small industry going, but the current area just won't do. I'm going to need to start digging deeper and more. Stone living quarters would be nice.
The stockpiles and workshops will only be temporary - they're an absolute mess. On the bright side, I've managed to move all of the starting items into the fort and have disassembled the wagon.
The mess:
(By the way, if these would be better if I wrapped them in a spoiler, let me know)
At last, some decent migrants. Two have competent in a weapon skill, must've been fortress guards. I've begun construction of a small barracks, just in case. The caravan will be leaving soon, but I honestly don't care.
Well, this is odd. It turns out I forgot to disable the hunting labor for one of the new migrants, and he managed to kill a weasel, which, since I had no butcher's shop, appears to be claimed by him and his wife. Trophy hunter?
We've struck galena, which means we can begin creation of lead war-hammers. Or silver. Soon, our competent hammerdwarf will be able to blash some heads in.
It appears that the pack of wolves from before has returned, and is waiting on the edge of the map. Our new militia might get some early training.
Turns out, you can't make lead hammers. I'll find something to do with it, I'm sure. I just don't know what.
The new living quarters are almost done. I'll be devoting an entire level to the sleeping area, and have all the other things on a different floor. Mainly so I don't run out of space. Also, I didn't really like the dining room.
At last, the season has ended. Oddly enough, the weasel corpse is still completely fresh, and nobody will go and dump it. The new bedrooms have been completed and are being filled with superior quality furniture. Just for fun, I'm going to try growing some cranberries. To make more of plaitmined's famous cranberry wine.
