What should we request from the merchants for next year? And what should we trade with them?

Pretty much everything has been done. These migrants are of little help but they manage to get some things done. The smoke house is finished, everyone has a room with a bed. I will soon make the doors. I sometimes see this miserable herbalist. I heard she has lost her husband and her child. Must have been the 2 prisoners. Speaking of prisoners, we got 4 more with the new migration wave. They have been locked up now. 4 were left alive. An adequate fish cleaner, an adequate fish dissector, a talented engraver/proficient teacher, and an accomplished soaper/talented liar/novice butcher. Not like we have them any jobs or anything... The butcher does help me with making meat from the killed wildlife. Oh and look merchants! I may be disobeying orders a bit but I'm making a Trade Depot. We really need some goods from them that we can't get on our own. Maybe we can even get a pump working. But I can't choose what to trade. That's up to the queen. (The warriors can also choose but since the queen is the broker I must speak like that when writing.) well back to my jobs. We need a tanner for those horse leather shoes. Maybe we could make something from the cougar we killed too or the tens of groundhogs. Them things are fast and there's so many. Military has a real hard time catching 'em.

I hope I get to eat that cougar heart. make the hide into a nice cloak. Also, steel armor please, I wish to wear the metal of dwarves!

[ottottott]

Well I don't want this fortress to fail so I'm going ahead and requesting some stone for next time. Maybe we can give them some meat as we seem to have more than fits in our barrels.

Just as everything seemed to be going great, disaster struck. Some wild horses arrived and the squad went to kill them. But they accidentally got ordered to also kill the merchants horses. The merchants got mad and started fighting against us. I hid downstairs until it had passed. The merchants had fled and !!PANZER!! and Fil were dead. Metallis went crazy (Not berserk, just crazy.) and killed Di. (I am afraid this fortress might soon crumble.) And now he killed Urist too! Why on earth did he kill all of his friends and only his friends? Would he really want victory so badly? Well the victory is his but it seems he doesn't like something. he is running around killing everyone! I must stay out of his way! I can't imagine why this would be happening. It's over! He went and killed a few migrants and then died of thirst. Me and the queen are still alive but the 5 greatest warriors were struck down by 1 of their own. I guess Metallis really was the strongest but it's sad that he turned against us. Most of us don't seem to be too unhappy so I think we can still survive this. (What should we do now? Live on as a simple, boring community fort, get 5 new dwarves? Metallis won but now he is dead. Maybe we should build a giant memorial building to memorize the great fallen warriors?)

Spring arrived again and here are some pics. I won't continue for now as so much has happened. I really have no idea what happened to Metallis. He just killed everyone he caught. He was sad from the loss of his friends but took joy in killing them. And he hadn't gone berserk or anything.

Was there announcement of Metallis going crazy?
If not I guess it's called loyalty cascade, when you attack you own civ dwarves perorming that order become enemies of their kind and then are killed by other dwarves who now are enemies too.

As for what now, well I guess since majority of the players is dead this can be considered worth of savescumming (if you can). Or we could change goal. I don't feel like getting another dwarf for the same story. Oh and I'd like to see kills of warriors. And how did my dwarf die? Was it fierce struggle for a right to live or just onehit and next in line?

[ottottott]

No, Metallis did not go crazy, throw tantrum or anything.
What is savescumming?
The goal could be to make a giant memorial tower. A tower made of a 9*9*9+7*7*7+5*5*5+3*3*3+1*1*1 cubes. Bottom cube is where the 1st fallen goes. 2nd cube gets 2nd fallen and so on. But the tower would be made from stone so it's a big challenge on how to get past the aquifer. I already ordered stone but that would take another 9 months to arrive.
Kills and battle reports coming towards you now!
It is taking me a long time so I'm posting them 1 by 1. Starting with the shortest final battle reports. (The shorter, the earlier died. In this case at least.) Names in the end of the report.

Hey, it wasn't Metallis, it was Urist who killed me, looks like we had 2x3 brawl there (Di and Metallis against Urist and Fil and !!Panzer!!) 
And looks like I should have had some points in misc obj using or more in fighting at least. Looks like my dwarf failed to hit anyone so it was Metallis's victory. How could he die of thirst?
And savescuming is when you use save before unwanted event or just don't save after accident.

[ottottott]

Well I guess my player character didn't get a clear view of the fights so he made a mistake. =. Yeah that was the problem. Not me. Heh!
Well he was later struck by melancholy so he didn't eat or drink and as he was too busy fighting before to drink he died quite quickly after getting melancholy and didn't have time to get into many fights.
Winter came in the middle of the problem but no one was dead yet. I have seasonal saving so it saved then and even if I would have reverted back to there it would have still been too late.
