Okay, my update:
Note: Sorry, no pictures.
The fort seemed to be running quite well, apart from about 20 idlers. A good population of 100.
I started to get the idlers back to work, started expanding the wall, and started to make some copper weapons and armour.
Things were going quite well, a few snatchers, but nothing much else to worry about. Then:
An Ambush! Curse them!
Strangely, this ambush had only one invader in it. He chased a woodworker around for a bit, then left. A bit later, the same thing happened. Apart from these, it has been quite uneventful. Military doesn't have much equipment, will try to change that.
And then...
The Marsh Titan Ware Fepaetile Lebovoneca has come! A huge three-eyed pheasant. It has a fat bulging trunk. It has an austere look about it. Its moss green feathers are long and broad. Beware its
Fire!Oh Carp.
I sent the military out to kill it. They obliged. Finally all these privates will be useful!
They surrounded the pheasant, and started to kill it. Unfortunately, this was very ineffective because they were either unequipped or only equipped with training weapons. Why do we not have any axes? It is the 4th year!!!!!
They have mortally wounded it, but it just won't die. The fire it has created is almost burned out.
End of Spring
Nix and Urist McChops have both become legendary axedwarves and fighters, but they still haven't killed the pheasant due to their weapons. The pheasant isn't even fighting back, it's just staying alive.
I wish these dwarves would stop giving birth. Seriously, that must have been the tenth one during my reign, and it's still early summer.
Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have killed the titan!
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have experienced heavy losses, however. Our military is down to 7, not including the 4 recruits I just conscripted. Many are injured. It is time to get our healthcare system in order.
A child is tantruming. He just threw a bin full of clothes about 20 squares. I am amazed at his strength. Also, most peoples' clothes are in tatters. I am attempting to get a clothes industry going.
A marksdwarf that had been injured by the titan just died of thirst. I hope we don't get too many ghosts.
Ooh, another cavern. This one is above the first. It seems that we missed it when digging straight down.
Back to 25 idlers
NO! STOP GIVING BIRTH!
The only ore of a weaponizable metal we have is tetrahedrite. I wish we had iron ore. I need to get these legendary axedwarves some decent weapons and armour.
OK, a goblin weredeer just came. Just as I had finished recovering from the fire-breathing pheasant, too. He then transformed back into a goblin, which my military then killed. A high master axedwarf was heavily injured and Nix, one of our axelords, lost his left lower leg and foot, though. This fort really needs some armour. If a seige comes now, we are doomed. Some more marksdwarves would be nice.
OK, it is late summer. I was planning to update at the end of summer, but RL intervened.
Edit: I will be away next weekend, so I won't be able to finish. I will post my save, which is now in late summer, soon.
Edit #2: I must confess, I am not too skilful with technology. I could not figure out how to upload the save. Could someone please help?
