                                                                         Welcome to Beginfortess: A continuous story

This is pretty much a write as I play story. Its fairly retroactive; the date is logged when ever it is check via the announcements screen or other wise. Just have fun. My goal, ultimately, is to go for 500 UC. A 495 year fort to be exact. A mega project maybe possible, but i'm not absolutely sure. The population, as of now is 14. The invader cap is also the same. The baby cap is 7. Every 5 years, both pops are increased by 5. The baby cap is increased by 2 as well. Every post represents a year.

It is the 15th of Granite 5 UC and we begin(pun intended) in the middle of nowhere.

Sort of.

I mean, the area we inhabit is called The Last Hills. Kinda fitting; this maybe my last. And our site government is the called The Polished Tongs. I have no idea why, but whatever.

Lets get rid of this damned wagon and lettus dig down.

This is where our organic (Ie plant and animal-based stuffs) production place, will be. This is it's foundation.

I really hope not to piss off some elves this time. You will see why later.

If one really cares to see what the aboveground is, take a look:

Oh yeah, what day is it?

The same day. Oh well.

What the hell?

Oh. Ok.
Yeah I have lignite near me. On the surface. That's something special.

Finally!

Dig, dig, dig!




Its the 20th of Granite 5 UC and we basically just started. Nothing fun yet, but we are getting there.

As we can see in the post above, my dwarfs are getting to set the foundations for my food, cloth, whatever-organic mish-mash production area.

I sometimes don't get why the game tells me this. I really don't get, as if anybody really cares.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

More progress!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yep.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What the hell?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I dont really know why, all of a sudden, this mason, is in such a state. There's no battle, let alone enemies. Is this an omen perhaps? I'm not sure.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It is done! Finally! Now we get done to business.


It is the 28th of Granite, 5 UC and nobody has died yet or rather FUN yet. Yeah this starts rather slow, but dont worry, it will get fun once we have a military.

As you can see, we now have the foundations of our organic production mess. Now we place the buildings.

First, the farm plots. They are 2x2.

Im not showing every step; that would be rather pointless and annoying.

Next is are the workshops.

And finally are the stockpiles

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Done! Now all I need is some meeting zones and locations.



It is the 28th of Granite, 5UC and it's been a long time senic I updated this.

So, as I was saying before, im gonna be placing some zones.

Good!

For imigur, to get the images to show up as images instead of links you can copy the image location and stick it between the [img.][/img.] things. Also, could you elaborate a little more on what you're going for with this fort? Or is it just going to be a standard fort?

[ArrowheadArcher]

My goal, ultimately, is to go for 500 UC. A 495 year fort to be exact. A mega project maybe possible, but i'm not absolutely sure.

[stingpie]

I'm sorta new to the forums, so I appreciate just a normal fort.

 by the way, I think the enraging has to do with how the game handles units, I once had a miner randomly get enraged while mining. I like to imagine he just started to flail his arms about on the floor.

also, so far, I've found megaprojects to be surprisingly easy. (I made an overpass)
man... I can already imagine the amount of bards you'll get if you don't "harvest" them.
Edit: whats the surroundings?

[ArrowheadArcher]

Nothing really special.

[Toxicshadow]

The site you embarked on looks really nice, also really big. PTW, and might I suggest a possible design consideration- you should utilize the river in some artificial waterfalls down your fort. Obsidian farming is a possible project to kill a few years. Good luck!
