Yeah, just don't try to solo a GCS with that thing.

[DarkArtemisFowl]

Update: You must bear with me, I just built a completely awesome new computer and I must transfer the DF copy to the new computer. I'll have my update within the next four hours.

Also, did Bay 12 go down for anyone else too?

[ShadowHammer]

Also, did Bay 12 go down for anyone else too?

Yeah, it was down for me too.

Spoiler: Galena 5th, Eighth Year of Armok (click to show/hide)

Many changes have been made. As per Mask's request, I have deactivated the Parity of Roughness from the military. I am also tending to the task of creating new iron resources, for use in armor first and foremost. Then, we shall focus on fielding new weapons for the good military we have here. The traders on the horizon have also kindly identified themselves as migrants. All is well.

I have dug out a small room for the coffins. A burial chamber of sorts. After some deliberation, I have decided to leave the gold on the walls to be smoothed out; it only serves to bury the riches with the dead. It was an honor to have our wrestler, Doren, serve in our military for his time. He shall be remembered and celebrated with great ardour. The bedrooms have also been designated for the most part, and new bedrooms are being smoothed out at the moment. We still have yet to finish the warehouses. Oh, and the possessed boy has finished his artifact...

A granite ring.



For the love of Dalzat, would he had not made an actually USEFUL artifact?! After all, its name is "The Defensive Sounds!" You would expect it to be a shield or armor of that sort, but NO! A granite ring, encircled with donkey leather and rings of granite! Worth only thirty-six dubon! (3,600 dwarfbucks for reference) This belongs in one of the junk bins. All that time and deliberation, using up a craftsdwarf's workshop for a ring... I'll go take my anger out on the native gold walls. Hopefully some of that enery will be put to good use.

28th Galena
Doren's body is being put to rest now. The burial chamber is not yet smoothed completely, but we are working on it. ShadowHammer did go to say his goodbyes to the body before it was taken away. Mask looked somber but continued with the training. A good man he is. I have also neglected the production of drinks; I am correcting that at this moment. It helps that we also have someone who works with stone, so that he may produce pots with which to fill wit h wonderful drinks. I am also working on choosing someone to work in the mines with me. Help would be appreciated, but... we cannot construct any weapons, tools or armor. We still need an anvil. Traders, why do you not arrive sooner?

2nd Limestone
We've encountered a kobold. Luckily, it was ShadowHammer who spotted him. He then proceeded to bash his skull in with much grace. Lovely!



22nd Timber
Much time has passed. The caravan has arrived and we have received much wood and an anvil, in exchange for some of our blocks and a pot of wine. Using this anvil we shall craft the weapons and armors of the gods! First, we need to smooth out our future legendary dining room, along with temporary makings of a hospital, and finally the warehouses. Things are going fantastic; much, much better than I had expected originally for the fortress.

28th Timber
Oh my Dalzat. The gods have blessed us. We have been sent an artifact worthy of use on the battlefield! An iron war hammer of the highest craftsdwarfship. While I would have preffered a steel or silver hammer, this truly is a blessing.



It shall be used to bash the goblins' skulls into dust and ashes. I shall assign it to ShadowHammer immediately. I do not care for his copper war hammer; we need to have our military equipped with the highest of all weapons and armor available. Onward, my friends. Onward we tread.

6th Opal
We have seen an increase in the number of golbin thieves and snatchers. This may be because of the caravan. Ah well, the military made quick meals out of them. Shadow has a beautiful artifact weapon and Mask now has an exceptionally crafted steel battle axe. I am also seeing to it that they also get armor of appropriate qualities. At least breastplates and helms, if not better. Let us brave out the winter and construct a beautiful future.

28th Obsidian
Damn goblin snatchers! One of them has gotten lucky and caused permanent injury to our marksdwarf. Our hospital is barely set up be we should be able to get him back up in no time. Steel production is well underway, as well as other materials. I wish I could have had the opportunity to designate another miner, but I'm afraid my time as overseer has come to an end. I have finished my work transporting the workshops into the warehouse area, as well as managing the food stockpiles. Unfortunately one thing I neglected was the alcohol again - the next overseer must take care of that. For now, though, things are not looking too far off course for the fortress. We have managed make sustainable inroads to the sand mountain, as well as found an extensive amount of gems, metals, and productive services. We have had little disturbance from the wildlife, and the goblins and kobolds were taken care of easily.

To the next overseer, I wish great luck. May Dalzat be with you.

~Zekariah

Save should be up next morning. Sorry for the wait guys; I did the best I could with the fortress. ONWARD!

[ShadowHammer]

Artifact war hammer? Nice. So it turns out that I can, in fact, unequip the copper one? Or did you just get me to dual wield somehow?

[DarkArtemisFowl]

No, you unequipped it. "Attaching" to items only works if the uniform allows for it, say, individual preferred melee or any type war hammer. I deleted "indiv pref melee" and replaced it with the selected war hammer.

Oh, and here's the save: region17
I would use DFFD but it's being stupid and not letting me validate my email.

[ShadowHammer]

Oh, that's how attachment works. I always manually assign specific weapons to my soldiers, so I never have problems with trying to give them new ones.

My turn shall begin tomorrow, as I am still finishing Volcanic Musical Chairs.

[ShadowHammer]

This is about the first half of the year.


Well, at the very beginning of my reign, another weaponsmith had a fey mood! This one made a copper crossbow.
To better train myself and Mask, I have decided to spar for a while without a weapon. Hopefully, this will help us if we are ever disarmed in battle.
Two dwarves died of thirst in hospital because of lack of a water source. I immediately demanded that the caverns, which were discovered but not mined into, be breached.
The dining hall was just finished, as were the statue gardens in the centre. Also, the current Greek cross bedrooms have been filled, and another section has been designated to provide housing for the booming population, now numbering 83 in all.
That’s odd. A migrant arrived today, and he described his skills as “rusty”. All of them. Including talking. What?
As part of the unarmed training program, me and Mask tried to kill a camel with just our shields. I figured headshots would be the most efficient way, but it still took ages to kill. I'll make sure to grab my artifact hammer next time a real enemy comes by.
A Giant Cave Spider has breached our defenses! The cage traps closing off the caverns had been filled, and the spider took advantage of the temporary lapse to run up the stairs. It nearly reached the dining room before the archers arrived to slow it down. If it had reached the meeting hall, it would have been carnage. Virtually every dwarf in the fort would have been webbed and helpless with a venomous monster rampaging around them.

[4maskwolf]

Well hey, an artifact copper crossbow isn't so bad.  Also, a. how did the dwarfs get injured and b. what the hell is filling the cages?

[ShadowHammer]

Well hey, an artifact copper crossbow isn't so bad.  Also, a. how did the dwarfs get injured and b. what the hell is filling the cages?

A. I have no idea, they were already resting when I was looking around before unpause. B. Troglodytes. They were like a dozen of them.

On another note, we have only breached the first cavern level, but somehow a blind cave ogre was caught in the traps. I thought those were third level only?

[4maskwolf]

Okay, OOC, DarkArtemis, care to exain how two of our dwarfs got injured? I think one of hem may have been my fault, actually. Was one of them a ranger?

[DarkArtemisFowl]

One of them was indeed the ranger. The only injury. I viewed on my part was yet another injury to the ranger. Other than the wrestler death, I didn't see anyone else get hurt.

[Grimmash]

I'm down for a turn if you'll have me.  I'll figure my dorf out later.

[zlob]

Will there be an update soon, cause I am getting a bit impatient? 

[Giver99]
