Alrightyy, we got spring.

SPRING

Ingiz Edtulnish, the Clothier

So, here I am, to rule this hamlet for the next year. I immediately became the expedition leader, as this site require one.
First off, I've checked the stocks – disaster! No bookkeeper is assigned yet! Of course, I've choosen the best person for this task.
I quickly ordered the building of the new housing for our brand-new 'book-menager', and after a week or so, It was done!



In the meantime, someone has married!



But there were no party, sadly.



Some migrants have arrived! 17, to be precise.
Our next step was making more houses, obviously, and a dining hall.
I also made some makeover on existing houses, to make them look nicer.

(pro paint skillz)

SUDDENLY, A FEY MOOD!



HE CLAIMED THE CRAFTSDWARWF'S WORKSHOP!
HE TOO 3 OF OUR SWEET, PRECIOUS BITUMINOUS COAL. HOPE THAT WILL BE WORTH IT!
AND HE CREATED...




A FUCKING DRUM?! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT?!

On the bright side, we got a skilled stone crafter!

Elves have arrived!



They didn't brought anything interesting, so I just ignored them.

It is not yet the time to fight...soon...

As I was not paying attention, the fight(s) emerges beetween our animals!



They're all fine, don't worry. Just a few bruises...

And so the spring end.

Notes:
-The rest will be probably tomorrow.
-My first time doing succession. Is it bearable?
-I'm veeery sorry for my english.

[Kolnukbyne]

A drum... Well, at least it's not a... no, a drum's pretty lame.

[alphaBeta]

The rest of the year:

SUMMER

At the start of the summer, we get another wave of migrants – 8 of them this time.
I decided to start building something more than apartments.
As I was planning the walls, the buzzards came and started to attack our hard-working miners!
In my bloodlust I immediately created a squad, which consisted of the best marksdwarves walking on the earth and they quickly vanquished the enemy. The town is safe!
I  also decided to put some.... dolomite windows inside the upper apartments. That should look nice.

And so the summer is gone. Pretty quickly, I have to say. Humans decided no to come. Also, almost no progress.

AUTUMN

At the start of the autmn I finally menaged to lay down the walls for the dining hall and for some storages.
I also decided to make the drawbridge more drawer and more bridger.
Generally, I was preparing everything to make it from the stone.



I will try to use the same pattern for workshops, as for bedrooms.
Migrants! 12 of them!
And, at least, the dwarven caravan. I have prepared some stone crafts alredy, so let's see how it goes.
Just after that arrival, one of the miners make a small collapsion . Hopefully it was only one tile of floor.
From the outpost liaison I ordered some leather, chickens and gypsum plaster.
Just after I closed the screen, a thief appears! He didn't take our drum, we're safe.



Meanwhile, on the trade depot, I taded all of our crafts for cloth, leather, food and some misc. Junk.

Here's trade agreement:



Another thief appears

WINTER

And here we go, the last season.

Nothing interesting happened, really. Just polishing some stuff, placing more walls etc.

WRONG

At the end of my turn some fisherman decided to be taken by a fey mood

AND

A thief came.
And another one.
At the same time.
AAND we have first blood on the kobolds! TAKE THAT!
And another one, escaped.

Also, this guy wants metal, and we don't have a single bar.

Some screenshoots at the end of my turn:





I get pretty lucky, just after I hit "Save game" the DF crashed. Lucklily, it somehow saved progress! THANKS ARMOK! Prepare for unforeseen errors, however.

And here we go! next!

EDIT: Put everything in a spoiler.

[bsnott]

Zombi got the skip.

[Kolnukbyne]

*Cracks knuckles* Alright, it's on. I will begin soon.

[Kolnukbyne]

Nearing the end of my turn. Once I've finished and then edited my notes and sorted my screenshots I'll upload my post.

[bsnott]

Nearing the end of my turn. Once I've finished and then edited my notes and sorted my screenshots I'll upload my post.

Good to hear. Thanks for taking your turn.

[Mouseshy]

Turn me.

[Kolnukbyne]

Stokershoots. What is this abomination that I have inherited? The dwarves are bathed in sun, constantly. They deny the cold embrace of the world's stone heart and choose to live above the stone as the Tall-ones do. But they are set in their ways and it is my responsibility to make their lives comfortable and productive - if only for a year.

SPRING

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1st of Granite, 128.
My first day on the fort and Sarvesh Dorensolon, a fish dissector, is in the mason's workshop screaming for metal bars, rough gems and rocks. I hope that the fort has the supplies needed to satiate his hunger for creation.
Taking notice of the many idle dwarves I decide to assign some to gather plants. Perhaps we can begin growing some above-ground crops.

9th of Granite, 128.

Metal! We have struck galena! Hopefully Sarvesh will be pleased by this and finish whatever the hell he's working on.

10th of Granite, 128.

A Kobold within the walls?! Madness! Our squad, the newly-renamed Dudes of Hittin' are on the case. The poor blighter barely moved before being brutally shot down.

16th of Granite,  128.

Sarvesh, the determined man of steel has begun his mysterious construction! There's a large roach in the food stockpile, euch.

20th of Granite, 128.

It is done. Sarvesh has completed Stalkfray the Band of Squashing, a dolomite millstone. While the object itself is underwhelming it fittingly honours these pioneers of a new way of dwarven life by depicting the founding of our glorious Stokershoots.


It's also worth a mighty buttload.

In less exciting news I have begun construction of a new wood warehouse as the current one is full and not very efficiently placed. This new one will be placed close to the current workshops and will also connect to a wood burning furnace.


15th of Slate, 128.

Buzzards are harassing the dwarves and interrupting jobs. This is no good at all! Our above-ground crops have begun planting. Soon we shall drink the wine of strawberries and prickle berries! One of the buzzards has fallen into our cage traps. We'll probably eat 'im.

21st of Slate, 128.

Migrants. More come to live above the earth. Twenty-one of them! Let us hope they contribute well to the fort. We are now only two dwarves away from out goal of one-hundred citizens of Stokershoots!

18th of Felsite, 128.

We've struck native silver! I have also decided that as the fort is beginning to become a bit overcrowded I will begin construction on some more traditional homes, not connected to the main building.

19th of Felsite, 128.

Elves! Tree-trading point-ears have arrived wanting to trade with us. We'll tolerate them, for now, but if they think that just because we're above the ground we're going to welcome them like the humans do then they are sorely mistaken. Let's see what they've got.

They have nothing interesting. We buy some alcohol and a little bit of food (you can never be too prepared!) and ignore them until they vacate our lovely home. I wish they would listen when we tell them to leave instead of just stand there smiling at us.

SUMMER

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1st of Hematite, 128

Summer is bearing down upon us and I place some tables and chairs in what I believe was intended to be the dining hall. Chow's on, boys!

14th of Hematite, 128

Well these dogs have been fully grown and untrained for some time. It's time for them to be trained for WAR and placed around the fortress grounds to detect and attack intruders.

25th of Hematite, 128

A new wave of migrants! A smaller wave, only thirteen, but that has brought us to over one-hundred citizens! Rejoice!

27th of Hematite, 128

What is this?! We have a Mayor? Morul Litastigam is our mayor and he is mandating the construction of amulets! What's more he's requesting HOUSING and LUXURY?! The nerve! Well then, I guess we'd better hop to it.

2nd of Malachite, 128

Excitement! Id Esshorast, Metalcrafter, has been taken by a fey mood! Unfortunately he's not moving. I believe he wants a forge, yet we have no anvil to make one. This does not bode well.

12th pf Malachite, 128

A kobold thief runs afoul of one of our hunters. A rattlesnake watches. Id has moved a single tile to the south-west.

19th of Malachite, 128

Zulban Esavuz is on a roll, Masterpieces all over the place!

24th Malachite, 128

Id hasn't done anything, still. Our new Jeweler's workshop has been constructed in a FABULOUS purple room, as I forgot that Gabbro was purple.


1st of Galena, 128

Miraculous! Id has given birth while standing around like a munchkin and doing nothing. Perhaps she'll use the child as an anvil.


11th Galena, 128

Oh no. The Savanna Titan Sod Sodgitnuk has come. I will try to bring everyone inside the walls and bring up the drawbridge as I don't believe our military is currently strong enough to repel him.

Oh no. The bridge hasn't been linked up to a lever. I send the military dwarves out to hold him off and hopefully get the bridge working.
SHIT. The windows. Those windows were a terrible idea; he just bust right on through. He's rampaging'.


16th Galena 128

Sod is still about, a few dwarves and dogs have been killed. Id has finally gone berserk, her lack of a forge to use has destroyed her. Will we survive?

YES. We will and did. Geshud Istrathalath delivered a fatal brain-bruising kick to the titan, endings its life. Three of our Marksdwarves were slain in the battle. Avuz Uzolamal, Erith Ralkikrost and Ushat Nazomoddom, may you rest in peace.

17th Galena 128

Id has been put down. Our war dogs were vital in keeping her at bay while the remains of our military arrived.

21st Galena, 128

In all this carfuffle I failed to notice that human merchants have arrived! Hope they have an anvil.

AUTUMN

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

7th Limestone, 128

Autumn has come and I didn't even notice. We finally have an anvil, however. Rejoice!


13th of Limestone, 128

I have noticed dwarves shedding their tattered clothes: I have begun manufacturing of new clothes.

I have also begun manufacturing of equipment for soldiers, albeit low quality equipment: silver maces and copper armour. It's better than nothing, at least.

19th of Limestone, 128

A new squad, the Earthen Boulders has been formed. I am contemplating how I should create a barracks and where. Possibly separate from the rest of the fort: if they are outside the walls they are able to quickly respond to threats.

20th of Limestone, 128

More migrants. Wahey! Our population increases by fifteen.

5th of Sandstone 128

After the earlier disruptions the mood has finally quelled and work has begun on the all-important mayor's house. Lets hope it pleases him. Likewise, the barracks is underway.


21st Sandstone 128

I've decided to add some gem windows to the Mayor's house and some of the other houses to snazzy the place up a bit. They're in places that won't compromise the safety of the fort.

Oh my! The child Olin Likotud has suddenly been taken by a fey mood! I shall watch her closely. She has claimed a craftsdwarf workshop! Wood… wood… leather… trek into the mines for some mica… more leather… BEGIN!


2nd Timber 128

Olin has finished her work: Belalmorul, the Famous Pages, a… Birchen cup.


Tragedy! A different Olin: Olin Kolrab, dwarven baby, has died of thirst!
We're in dire need of more non-economic stone to use and a place to store it all.

14th of TImber, 128

The outpost liaison and caravan from the Mountainhome has arrived. It is near the end of autumn and I soon will be entering my final season as overseer of the fort.

20th of Timber, 128

Barracks is functional, if not nice-looking. The Earthen Boulders are scheduled to train 7 soldiers at a time for every month, to allow for break time.


25th of Timber, 128

The caravan has refused to trade with us due to a poor appraiser attending to the depot as the Broker was too busy doing everything but his job. Unfortunate, but we have not lost anything great.
From the Liaison I have requested the import of Iron and Steel, as we are currently unable to fashion higher quality metal goods, Cave spider and pig-tail cloth, alcohol, Leathers and coke.

WINTER

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2nd of Opal, 128

I have begun an expansion of the central fort by adding a second level to the dining hall and finally adding stone flooring. While I was tempted to make the upper walls out of silver to make use of the excess of the metal that we have I decided to stick with dolomite blocks. Likewise, I have started patching up holes in hastily constructed areas of the fortress. Consider this my term of cleaning before the next overseer steps in.


7th of Opal, 128

While viewing construction of some roofs I find mysterious spattering of kobold blood. No combat reports or kobold sightings can testify to its origins. Perhaps we should improve security against skulking filth somehow.
EVERYWHERE! This blood is flipping' everywhere! Jastayldin, I don't know who you are but you have a lot of blood for a kobold.


12th of Opal, 128

Our supply of Dolomite blocks is running low once again. Fear not, this problem will be short-lived.

2nd of Obsidian, 128

The year is ending, as is my time with the fort. In my final month I am simply smoothing up any constructions and making sure that everything is working as planned.

2nd of Granite, 129 (Whoopsie!)

I somehow accidentally went two days over (I swear I was checking the date every two seconds >_>) but all of a sudden… the end of an age?







The save file: http://www.mediafire.com/?aiob5rodp9lz78f

I hope I have done well in the time I've spent on the fort. I probably could have done more, but I guess it's too late for that. My advice to the next player is first and foremost, investing in a stronger military is probably a good idea. Also we have a bugger-tonne of silver and lead, maybe find a way to use that. Build the harbour out of it?

I quite liked it, actually. I expected him to run around and go through the bridge but nope! Busts in through a window. I think it helped, too, he sorta got trapped in there once the military dwarves closed in on him.

[Mouseshy]

Here's the first season. Rest of the year will posted tomorrow(hopefully).

Right off the bat, the butcher gets possessed.

And starts working at a craftsdwarf workshop with only this.

Apparently he was possessed by blandness.


I set up a cistern fed via pump. Well is built directly above it it, near the back of the fort.


The dwarves are tracking this one kobold's blood EVERYWHERE. It's rather impressive.


Did a little work on the barracks. I removed the beds since I find them unnecessary; no reason they can't go sleep in one of the normal houses. I built lodgings for the captain of the guard to the south(I gave him the shitty coffer the butcher made). Moved the weapon/armor stockpile into its own room to the west. Also built an archery range to the east.
