How do metal?

That's a relief.  Taking a break to do some homework and stuff. Just got a secretive mood at 20 dwarves and the guy wants blocks that AREN'T wood. Crazy, right? He's been locked in the leatherworks he asked for. It's not like woodcutters aren't replenishable.

Also, I think I have chopped down 75% of all the trees on the map so far, and it's been less than a year. Nice work, deforestation guild. I salute you.

Don't cut down every tree, or they will not grow back.

My fort has been holding up pretty good, I got invaded by gray languors.
They all died thanks to Willsauce the hammerer and the other 2 hammermen

I would have thought that artifacts were impossible with this challenge. I thought you had to mine a certain number of tiles in order to get artifacts.
No, its a population limit.
You need 20 dwarves, and your cap on artifacts varies based on how many tile have been revealed.

You chased it, but then it left.
So I sicked you and your 2 allies on a few elf merchants.

So I tweaked minimum volcanoes from 3 to 10. And that's pretty much it. The very first world I genned stuck a volcano right in my face throughout the whole generation process. In fact, the RNG is handing me everything I need on a silver platter.

Behold Minedclosed:

That plateau is basically the only flat land until the bottom of the mountain, way to the south (I used a 5x3 embark because I was afraid there would be none at all). The slopes seriously cut into the tree numbers, but I should be able to free up the wood eventually: that yellow dirt inside the wall is pure unadulterated sand. I'm looking forward to making one big freakin' green glass fortress.

So far, the RNG has been showering me with gifts. I'm anxious to see what else it's going to shower me with...

Year 3:
I finished up my fort, now it is simply a matter of holding out
I lost Another guy, some hunter (Rovod) to a bear.
MrWillSauce raped that bears skull with a Bronze warhammer, so to give him a treat for doing that... HE GETS A STEEL WARHAMMER!
also recruited another hammerdwarf, also we must be the last living dwarfs because we are getting no migrants.
Those caravans are costly, the elves wanted alot for that steel warhammer so they got taxed (If you know what I mean)
the population is 29 Citizens with 5 Pets/Livestock, I can only hope we can maintain that.
Here is the picture of the fort, I am signing off till tomorrow, Goodnight!
