Wait, I didn't die?  I thought I was the head of the military. (insert confused face here).

Yes, you died too.  will post whole unit list later

[4maskwolf]

Crap.

[FireCrazy]

Did i die too?

[peregarrett]

Did i die too?

No, you led the miners squad and have one elf score. Athel has three. But you're miserable due to loss of friend, draft and miasma.
Here's the current fortress population, 25 total. I'm expecting a strange mood soon.


The difference between old-style and new-style annoys me a lot... So I'm not really sure that I can carry this long enough. But till that I'll try.

EDIT: FireCrazy gone stark raving mad. So, we have NO named dwarves left. And a stonecrafter got posessed, took three obsidian boulders and a lobster shell and began his work.
Also we have a tantruming dwarf here who destroyed the depot.
Artifact is an obsidian ring, nothing very special.
And we got human caravan here.

FireCrazy gone stark raving mad.

Dangit!

[peregarrett]

FireCrazy died in his own room. Actually, we locked him there so he won't crawl over whole fort naked.
Athel, his apprentice, is the leader now.
Things are stable but not really good. We're somewhat short on food and drinks, we have copper as out best armor and we're too small in numbers. Three guys are bedridden and I doubt they ever get up, and we had no migrants this season.
But we have a dwarven caravan.

[peregarrett]

We were attacked by goblins, twice, and both times we repelled them! We lost two dwarves in a battle, though, but at least now we have Iron! Many fortresses survived on goblinite, so do we.
Also we got some steel from traders. This is what can made our army unbeatable!
Here's the sketch of our entrance after the ambush. Dead goblins and their stuff everywhere. Also, we have a few elf skull totems, that's the most useful thing they are good for.

If all the named dwarves are dead, requesting redorfing as a military dwarf. Preferably marksdwarf.

Ok, I just wanted to set up archers squad, and you'll be the leader then.

That would be good, my version is from "Previous versions" page of bay12, so I think it's plain 40d one.

A fresh DFHack-40d build can be found here. Note that unlike version 0.34.11, DFHack-40d does not load on program startup - instead, you need to run the "dfhack.exe" loader after DF starts in order to inject all of the necessary hooks. If necessary, I should be able to write a binary patch to permanently insert the hooks and make it automatically load DFHack on startup.

Do be aware that not everything will work - the C++ plugins should be okay, but the Lua and Ruby scripts likely will not work because I haven't gone through to fix/delete the ones that are broken or irrelevant (most notably, you will get an error about world.cur_savegame being undefined when it tries to run raw/init.lua). The two most important scripts, "fix/stable-temp" and "fix/dead-units", though, appear to work correctly and should help protect your fortress from early FPS death.

Thank you!

Back to the fortress:
After another group of migrants arrived and our numbers come close to 50, the massive preparations were made. Our military squad now consist of 5 fighters, 3 sword- and 2 axe-dwarves, who train at the barracks next to the gate. But sometimes they put way too much efforts in their sparring and receive injures. Like now - Led Amostzagod, leader of squad whoa lready have 6 kills (two elves and four goblins) and receive the title of The Torrid Snake of Bristles, so, he clashed with Erith Lekmafol, and now they take their time in the beds - Led with his arm and Erith with his leg injued. Moreover, since Led is the leader, the rest of the squad spend most time at his room instead of barracks!
So, to enforce the defences we made an archer squad, and the leader bestoved the nickname "Masked Wolf II" in honor of first military leader killed by elves. Miners and masons made the shooting range for them. Also the shooting range has fortifications carved towards the gate, so if (when!) enemies arrive, archers start shooting immediately.

Also, Lorbam the stonecrafter got secretive mood and spammed me with pictures of cloth. The pigtail cloth that we have here didn't fit him well, I guess he wanted spider silk, but we have no silk here. So, after a month or so he turned berserk and was shot by one of archers. RIP.

And somehow we have food shortage again. Shit. We had to butcher all our horse foals before they grow up... But on the bright side, Tosid the weaver who lost his right eye and was bedridden for a year or so, finally got up! He still ocassionally drops unconscious, but at least he can move and work! I guess that's the hunger therapy that worked. Now we just need him to not starve, before we can trade with humans who just arrived! Hooray, we're saved!

We got a big load of food and drinks from humans for hunreds of stone mugs (plus clothings left from elves and goblins) and the hunger crisis is delayed. I thunk we should build more farms and more farmers.
And after that one of smiths got fey mood and made copper high boot decorated with nickel and oak. Single boot isn't so useful, but at least he's legendary armorer now! So good, our copper armour should be of the highest quality!

[peregarrett]

Dwarven caravan arrived today. We got two steel plate armors from them, and various stuff.

But what I heard from the liaison turned me nervous:

[peregarrett]

We just got ambushed by goblins, but easily massacred them - sworddwarves entered martial trance and chopped them into pieces. The only loss we have is a stray horse that was tied at the gate as a sentry.
And suddenly our entrance receives new decorations:

This is felsite fortification. It is decorated by goblin right lower leg. It's ecrusted with goblin lower body. It menaces with goblin head. It emits superior quality miasma. It smells like victory!

Amd here we have a new bronze bracelet called Whirlscribed. Nice and valuable thing, but Dastot would better have took gold or nickel or something, since we need bronze for army.
