Ill take a spot on the turn list, as well as a dwarf (Stonecrafter, Mason, Miner, Mechanic, ect (NOT Farmer/woodcutter/hunter/animal caretaker).

I have had plenty of experience with frozen fortresses (My previous three forts were on glaciers or in tundra).

I must make a note to buy some cats from traders at the next opportunity and see if I can chain up a breeding pair someplace clean. Having kittens wandering the hallways will be a good way of identifying patches of paralytic poison that still need to be taken care of.

I'd like to join too, please.  Will take a turn (hope everything is setup by then because I have no glacier experience at all  :-[ ) and a dorf - a peasant called Clint.

My update (will be extra long to make up for the wait) will definitely be up in less than three days.

Does anyone have any requests/suggestions for the fortress? I would be nice to get some ideas for semi-megaprojects that can be worked on each turn.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Ice sculptures! Made by bucket brigade bringing water from below to above surface.

Give my dorf profession "Closet Mason"

Secure a big rectangle in the middle of the surface by digging a moat around it, please. About the maximum stockpile size, 31x31, will be good. A tower could be built there.

It's a glacier. Spring doesn't apply.

I'd like a turn and a dwarf: Tevish Szat, an Engraver, and ideally either not skilled in military skills, or else a Lasher, though really Engraver is the only requirement.

A medium-sized humanoid fond of fantasy and science-fiction.

Tevish Szat likes books, computers, board games, and cats for their aloofness. When possible, he prefers to consume hamburgers and macaroni and cheese. He needs caffeine to get through the working day.

Right, here's the rest of my turn. I didn't make quite as many dorfings as are on the list, and I couldn't start any of the semi-megaprojects. Actually, I've done bugger all. Running a succession fort is more difficult than I thought...

Journal of the Mad One, 21 Hematite
The migrants arrived. They didn't have anything worthwhile with them. Even the animals they brought were useless! We're not allowed to eat them because they're 'pets' or some nonsense... oh, hey! That's a yeti!


Journal of the Mad One, 1 Limestone
Autumn has come to our tomb, and with it, new life.

Not much else has happened. Well, we got more migrants. But they're all useless. Useless! USELESS!!

Journal of the Mad One, 24 Limestone
Now we have space to store our food! The Stockpile Hall, commissioned by Myself, and filled with the finest Rock Salt Doors made by our very own closet mason!


Journal of the Mad One, [date]

... we're screwed.

The miner has been possessed. Everything is proceeding as planned.


She has claimed a Mason's workshop. Excellent... I hope something good comes of this.

I have drunk the last of the booze. Everyone is complaining of thirst. Well, except for that miner, she seems absolutely fine.
We brought the flutes to the flutes to the merchants. I think Peregar is trying to trade them for booze at the moment. Next, we'll - HEY WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!!??

wattrer! Yay!


--------------------------------------------------

That was actually really stressful. I would have conveyed it better if I wasn't so tied up with Christmas-related nonsense.
I ended my turn in midwinter, in direct contradiction of my own rules, betraying my word and all that is good and right, because that fortress is awful to manage. The dwarves disobey my direct instructions, haul when they're not meant to, build flutes instead of other instruments... Ugh. I believe it's Tirion's turn now.

It's not a hyperlink, sorry. I'm bad with those.

Anyway, have ‼Fun‼.

The record of the following events have been preserved only in speech, and may not be totally accurate.

Entry 1

So...thirsty. Everyone rushed to the caverns for a drink of cool water, alcohol preference long forgotten. But something rushed up against the tide of parched dwarves: a Troll, great and terrible. It rushed into the main stockpile area, and ran around roaring. The more expandable of the dwarves were gathered in a militia, they cornered the beast and had beaten it to death with their bare hands. Who felled it is a mystery to the ages- some say it succombed to bleeding inflicted by the dog's bite upon his head.

Entry 2

A cat was slaughtered for it's skin, because even the poor possessed miner refused to do anything with the Troll. With it, created Lurkedally, a fairly nondescript rock salt weapon rack. The entrance bridge is raised until the yeti outside goes away. Dralthas are spotted in the caverns. Construction of rock blocks starts, with the eventual goal of walling off some of the caverns for farming.

Entry 3

Peregar is appointed manager and bookkeeper. Kiera is appointed broker, for now- not that anyone knows a thing about appraising. A dining hall and quarters are designated to be mined out, along with future noble lodgings.

What happened to the merchants?  Did they bring flutes to trade too?
I love the entrance design, this looks like an architecturally pleasing tomb to die in get-beaten-to-death-by-a-troll-on-the-way-for-a-drink in.
