Yeah, it loaded just fine. Since we got your save, I'm starting what I did over.

Ok good to know.
Hope you do not have to redo too much/

Let me know how noticeable some of my changes are, hopefully I've been able to improve efficiency quite a bit.

Oh and let me know if you use the TREASURE room for enchanting any masterworks.

Nah, I'd pretty much just started- we'd given up all hope of you coming back :P

I haven't seen much difference in efficiency yet, as i've pretty much just loaded up your save, haven't inspected much yet. Also, two miners appear to have been injured in a cave-in.

Sure is, it's just hot in the past few days. Too hot to run DF without my computer overheating.

Not in Alberta, I'll bet. Probably not even in Canada :P

Or in Michigan, it's been below zero the last week or so.

Maybe in California. All these reports of the Polar Vortex make me envious. That probably makes me sound weird but I like the cold.

I don't mind it, but when I have to do anything I prefer being able to breathe and not have any exposed flesh instantly freeze when I open the door  :P

I'm in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
It was 40C yesterday, and 38C before. We're having a fairly warm summer - a few weeks back it hit 44C, and Adelaide (a capital of another state) hit 46C and was the hottest capital city in the world on that day. My computer, while not too bad, seems to suffer from overheating problems, definitely exacerbated by heat.

I've got most of the stonesense pictures Crossroads asked for, but it'll be a little while before I upload them (internet's going pretty slow atm, 20kb/s down, less than that up)

Here I go.



So, Crossroads came into my office, and spoke to me.
"As is the Fort's few years of tradition, we elect our latest overseer. As it is now the new year, we original seven decided it was your turn to join us as a vaunted Overseer."

I crowed. I jumped in the air, because ruling is fun! This is what Reudh II was meant to do!

Crossroads signed the papers and handed them to me- i locked them up in a hide-bag and clipped it shut with a basic knot. I figure, I must keep my ruling powers safe from the unwashed and unclean masses, right?

I decide to wander truly around my own realm and take stock of what I own. The best thing for a ruler to do, one thinks.
I've never really examined it all that closely since we founded the place - it's grown up remarkably well, so very fitting for the first dwarven capital of the world.


A pretty place, right? That is for sure.


"Keep up the good work, fellers!" I yell after them. Noface says nothing, just glowers at me. I think. He wears a mask, so I cannot see his face, but he radiates displeasure as if he felt that I was foolish for implying he was doing this for me. The other dwarves nod and resume sparring.


It is amusing to see animals in cages. They seem happy, but they also lash out where possible. Our cages are infinitely strong, and hold them tight in a pocket dimension. Hence, Kol is totally safe where he sits.


Beautiful it is. Microcline is an under-rated substance - like a poor man's Adamantine, but beautiful none-the-less.


Amazing building, for sure. It still lacks a little, but it can probably be seen for a long furlong around.


Spoiler: The Glass Tower (click to show/hide)
This partially furnished tower is filled with large, luxurious bedrooms, I presume for when our king or queen and their entourage arrive. Firefly remains adorn the top floor.


I do so look forward to ruling this place.

Ah. We seem to have converted more of our courtyard to building. Which is glorious, though we must reduce dependance upon animal products if we reduce pastures thus. Shouldn't be too hard.

It's funny that neither Crossroad's adventurer turn nor his fort one were recorded. I assume Bhrian Bloodaxe continued his reputation as a man of mystery. Did the previous recorded overseer ever get married?
