Okay, my turn is finished; here's the update for y'all.
Here's some pictures, in half-assed order:
http://imgur.com/a/lEQPn/allSo, it was a rather uneventful year. We lost a miner, while I was channelling out the drop pit. Somehow, while my attention was elsewhere, a snatcher made off with one of our babies - but happiness isn't down, and we had a few births.
We now have exactly 40 male dorfs, split into 4 squads; 2 hammer and 2 axe. I've also set up a couple uniforms, but we don't yet have the materials to replace clothing yet, so they're 'over clothing' right now.
There was a minor food and beverage crisis toward the end of summer; turns out the main stockpile was set to take from links only. Derp. All is well, now.
I've started to claim the way to the river, at the south edge. We keep getting fisherdorfs; if we need to use them, hopefully we'll be able to have a secure fishing jetty.
I didn't quite get the purpose of having both an airlock and a long, twisty entry corridor, so I dug out a stockpile for tradegoods, and a bridged shortcut to the depot. We didn't manage to offload all our crafting crap on the dwarf caravan; the pathing was ridonkulous. Now, once a caravan arrives, we can drop the bridge and move our stuff. The lever just to the left operates the bridge.
I built us out a hopital, and set up a few beds, tables, and traction benches. I also but beds, cabinets, and coffers in the main barracks. There is also a new barracks for my squad, guarding the front airlock.
A few thieves have wandered in; they didn't make off with anything as far as I can tell.
The forges have been set up, and melt orders have been assigned to everything I could find in the stocks menu that didn't seem strictly necessary to the fort.
I was in the process of getting the cisterns filled when spring arrived. If you have any questions about the pictures, the state of the fort, etc., just ask.
