I have a had a miserable time dealing with the dwarven merchants. This bloody fool wants >2k profit margins for anything made of steel, and kept trying to take all the steel goods that were lugged to the depot whilst awaiting being melted down. I'm importing the stuff for a reason, you dumbass!

but really, >2k profit? I know I've exported nothing but luxury items like figurines and stone harps, but come on!

The mountain homes aren't getting any offerings this year!

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

I have a dwarf with 735 happiness who doesn't even have a bed.

The traders at my area kept trying to take my bins and bags after I sold the stuff in them.  Come on!  It's not like THEY needed them, I took tons of crap from their stores.

As an aside in regards to the Jeweler, I shortly thereafter finished a fully smoothed and engraved burial chamber with a Limestone (it's a very common stone here) coffin and four limestone statues for my poor jeweler

No ghost for me! 

Course it took me a while to remember to change settings so they'd actually bury the corpse.

Yes, but there is no rank of happiness over ecstatic.

The weather has finally cleared, the last of the chesnut admin of the goblin's blood infection is going away, coffins are slowly being made (even for pets due to said infections), and a few people decided to go on a military spree. One of said murderers was the military commander who, after being imprisoned, broke free and tossed off his command to return to being a cook before starving himself to death. Things are looking up though with only ten cages of goblins so far for the future military when they're rebuilt after a few migrant waves. Otherwise still working on getting to that captail status.

How long is this berzerk dwarf trapped behind fortifications going to take to starve to death?  He keeps causing job cancellation spam.

Expanding my radius of gathering goblinite, as I'm starting to suspect it's huring my FPS. The best time for this is apparently when the caravans arrive, as that's hwen I can get EVERYONE working on it, even children. Very slow going though... there are a lot of dead goblins around.

Also found the source of the ghost. Apparently it was an old dead outpost liaison, and "miner" was just a decoy title. He's now buried.

Not mutch else is going on right now. Butchered some elephants, making lots of copper barrels, and I'm getting close to having a masterfully made steel short sword for everyone in the fort. I'm still wondering about worn out clothes, as they tend to clutter up bedrooms, but I'm sure I'll find a way to dump/destroy it all. But right now there is so much more goblinite that it's not really a priority.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

There's still milk all over the stairs and mister channel. And now there's some fisherman trying to fish from part of the mister for whatever reason. I think she's just using it as an excuse for a second break... with the waterfalls...

There's also a few wild mountain goats running amok through the grand halls. Only one cancellation thankfully. I'm thinking it was generally a good idea making all the major routes so spacious, considering the volume of wildlife that invades my fortress at random while my militia is inactive. Damn trogs always kill one of the sheep though...

Hell's belles. After the final siege where desperation happened I went from duchy to mayor placement. Time to start building up again.

Started a new fort.  "Windmirrors" has been established in the Desert of Riders.  A flat plain of sand, sand, sand, a bit of limestone and chalk.  Sprinkled with a few cactus and other plants.  The camels appear to like it.

Tunneled down in the sand and hit an aquifer.  Tunneled west from there and found the edge and went down.  First wave of migrants added three dwarves.  Second wave of migrants added three dwarves.  So everyone very busy for the first year - all three caverns located as well as the Magma Sea.  So some upper level smelters that ran off lignite sit idle while a new set started up in the depths.  Miners have found galena, tetrahedrite, nickel ore, and some gold to drive the metal industry.  Which is pretty important given the lack of wood.  Which for some reason the first dwarven caravan decided to skip bringing any wood to trade.

A third migration wave just turned up - with twenty-six more mouths to feed and house.  At least I have haulers now.  And as they came in a honey badger turned up, enraged and chased an armorer around - until the armorer *bit* the honey badger and tossed it about.

Man, that is one hardcore armorer.
