Okay, I'll start later today. Can't vouch for my writing skills though.

EDIT- I'll put it up tomorrow if that's okay. (Although it might not be tomorrow for you guys.) I've started (haven't actually unpaused yet though), but I'm sorta tired at the moment and I want to make sure I didn't miss anything. Also I don't feel like copy pasting everything at the moment.

Yeah.

[Splint]

After the failure at narrative I did I don't think it'll matter as long as you can spell correctly.

[FlickerFly]

Okay, very basic overview of the fort-

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1st Moonstone

Okay, I figured it would probably be a good idea to get an overview of the fort before trying to do anything. So, I haven't unpaused at the moment...



We have plenty of food and a decent amount of dwarfpower (I'm impressed at the total lack of peasants). Which is fine. But we have no alcohol, which is... yeea. But that shouldn't be too hard to deal with.



The entrance (really kinda decorative). Phylite path to the... north? Bridge leads into the lobby room, with an outdoor farm plot (which doesn't seem to be growing anything), a fishery and a still. Brook access in a room to the east, Refuse stockpile outside to the left. And, the ubiquitous mysterious-pools-of-blood. Also, there's some sort of tower to the north-west.





The real entrance... The trade depot (with an animal stockpile to the east), chillout room. To the left seems to be bedrooms (everything reasonable there as far as I can teeeell)



That stairway to the north leads to the giant farm plots (Must be annoying to run to the southeast one.) I'm going to assume the southmost chamber was going to be either a stockpile or more farms. I'm not sure why the entrance to them is trapped.



Mostly workshops. Why is everyone hanging out in that dining-room type area to the southwest? It's not actually a dining room or anything. *probably missing something really obvious derp*. Also, there's a tomb near the top there.

Oh yeah, and some barracks.



Okay, why would you want to make the symbol of your civilisation a shoe?



This looks intriguing..




Okay, not all that much going on here.



Beyond that, it's mostly just mining tunnels. Oh yeah, and I miight have forgotten to make sure the raws were right before taking these... pretty sure stone isn't supposed to look like N's.

Okay I'd better actually start playing now -_-.

Graphical quirk. I'm positive that th original graphics were not standard as that's typically the cause. The road is meant to run east and west, but the west part isn't done.

[Orange Wizard]

I really like the aesthetic of this fort. It looks a lot nicer than my forts, which tend to be a symmetrical mess of massive stockpiles and four-tile bedrooms.

Personally I hate the entrance to the fort (near the trade depot) We're screwed if anything gets in there!

[Splint]

Same here. I tend to keep the depot on the surface or the way to it lined with barracks and stuffed with guard dogs/other animals. Plus we need a bigger dining hall. The current one is.... Sub-par in the size department.

3rd Moonstone-
I got some drinks & barrels, hopefully enough to last until we can get some more made.

4th-

I mostly just ordered food and drinks (can't hurt), and a little leather... We don't really seem to need anything much. Although I may have missed something.


11th-

I'm not sure why we need this...

14th-


And all these puppies are just running around everywhere? You're lucky we don't need meat.
We need a useless animal area.



16th-

Wait, that is the dining room. Facepalm. Project: better dining room and also figure out what that lever activates.

4th Opal-



Mining and smoothing work is going well. I probably should have put these in a better position though... Everything running smoothly. Wait, do we have a hospital? note to self- make sure we have a hospital.

12th-

Good for him.

16th-

Here're the opinions of a couple random citizens-


...I wouldn't call the dining room legendary.

22nd-

The useless animal area is ready for furnishing. Yay.

24th-

Hate. Keas.

19th Obsidian-
Remember when I said we needed a useless animal zoo? well, it turns out most of the useless animals are puppies.

I put 4 to a cage for the moment.

Dining room is finished enough for dorfs to start eating in it I think...

3rd Granite

Okay, fine. We have enough wood now anyway.

Here's the state of the fortress-

(Okay I should probably redo the tables so they're all mudstone)

Might get rid of the pillars.

Okay, in spring I'll have to improve our defenses. Should have probably been first priority actually.

I'm really liking the look of this so far. Especially the new dining hall.

[Splint]

Other than the mismatched tables and chairs colorwise I think it looks great; also: Disrespected the trees? How about we disrespect your head with a hammer. Vote yes on prop 34: WAR WITH THE HIPPIES! Them mounts make good eatin'.

[xana55]

Liking the progress so far, be careful with those levers though you don't want to accidentally release the ravenous vampire army on the elves  . Would like to put in a request for future progress, when you've mined out a z-level smooth out all the stone and engrave it as a massive monument to dwarven progress!

[Splint]

The relavant levers to the floodgates keeping that dickstain in are located next to them, as well as a crypt space for periodic sacrifices as population control.

[FlickerFly]

Most of spring-

I ended up having to play through winter again, but everything worked out pretty much exactly the same (except I fixed the dining hall)





12th Granite

You know what there aren't enough of around here? Badly designed bedroom areas. (or well designed bedroom complexes, for that matter...



Oh yeah, and I've decided to wall in this area (haven't designated it all yet...)



And the phylite path (tm) isn't even finished yet... Guess I'm keeping the masons busy.

25th Granite

I've ordered some ropes to be set at the entrance there (guard dogs).
And that reminds me... I don't see a prison anywhere.

28th



Oh, joy.
Around 20 dwarves and 5 more useless animals.
*grumblegrumblewheredoIputthesacrificesagaingrumble*

9th Slate



That's a meeting area?
Get out.

21st
Disrespected the trees, bla bla blaaa...

28th

The bedrooms are actually getting beds in them.


5th Felsite

The wall around the entrance is finally done-


17th


So they have.

22nd

I got us a hyena and a wolf for a few gems, but they weren't carrying anything else useful. So now the question is, do we kill all the elves?
(probably)


This thing is taking forever.

[Godlysockpuppet]

set our fledging military against thrm! Combat practice!

The vampires are hungry and elf is on the menu
