TIME TO PLAY THE MAP!!!!

[shali8]

I believe that sackhead did get past the aquifer even with my utter failing still in effect. Props to him for overcoming my incompetence.

Excerpt from Javier's Journal
(spring)
My work in the hellhole only known as ancient bushes has only just begun, and I am receiving reports from the east, "WereSkink!!!" they say.
I immediately stationed all of our troops at the gates, yet all they saw was a lowly human sitting on the ground. who proceeded to run away.

I immediately surveyed the fortress, it was very strangely layed out, and had only the necessities.
So i began work on a wall,and a corridor for both traps and the merchants.

On the 23rd of Felsite, I also recieved reports of a goblin lasher party raping eviscerating fishermen. I stationed all our troops again, yet only the markdwarfs went out, and thanks to their intelligence of not knowing how to shoot, we lost 3 good military dwarfs. After sending a direct kill command the warriors repaid the goblins in full.
Luckily afterwards, a migrant wave appeared giving us much needed morale and man power.

In order to secure the fort i prepared some defenses, such as removing the ramps in our vicinity, and finishing the wall.
At the end of spring, our dwarfs finished our weapon traps.
They are filled with:
    10 Iron axes blades
    10 Iron discs
    Random siege weapons



(I'll be working on the fortress again tomorrow)

Yeah, the pierced the aquifer. And apparently couldn't plug it.

[sackhead]

yeah the layouts weird because i didn't like the original, the workshops were too far away from the stockpiles and fairly messy. So i moved the wood metal and stone industries and there stockpiles to the top of the fort and trade goods to the bottom including the cloths of the dead which are great to sell to the caravans.. you probably nead more bins, How is the mine cart route working by the way?

[jesternario]

How does that make sense? should you put your metal industry closer to the bottom? In case you strike magma, it'd be easier to move everything that way when you make magmaforges.

[sackhead]

by top i mean north, and i just did it there because there was empty space

this was also before i went round the aquifer

[javierpwn]

Everything is pretty weird, and dying

At least I made traction benches
The minecart is working pretty well, but not enough organization

Quantum storage ftw?

[skullking]

If this is still going can i be added to the turn list and dorfed? 

[javierpwn]

Dorfing yes, preferences?

[jesternario]

Don't worry about dorfing me. I'll dorf myself on my turn.

[skullking]

Ch.2 Summer
 On the first of malachite, another migrant wave came to the fort, this one was used strictly for hauling and other random jobs which needed filling in.
 On the eighth of malachite however,  our exploratory miners breached the caverns, this one without trees.
On the seventeenth of malachite, I offered about 40 or so stone traps to be made in front of the main entrance, so our enemies would be weakened and the fights would be easier

In other news, our people are happy, I fixed part of the well problem( It was not a designated water zone), and a new farm plot was installed(with pigtails)

Grim news, on the 17th of Galena, a vile force of darkness arrived to the fort. Ten or so goblin axe-men and the general a flashers, sitting upon his Giant toad mount.I ordered everyone inside, and the drawbridge closed.We shall deal with them in the fall.
