I think green glass is my new favorite material. With a Grand Master Glassmaker, fucktons of haulers, and magma glass furnaces, I can make almost everything useful, in a magma-safe material, for no cost but dorf labor. Almost everything because I can't make beds out of glass, unfortunately, because I decided to make the monarch's rooms. Since I can't pick the monarch according to appropriate favorite materials, I'm going to have to magma one that likes slade or whatever like I decide to magma the king for. I can make everything the twerp wants out of glass except the bed, though, so it'll still be largely salvagable if I do pull the lever.

Also, green glass = fr33 serrated discs.

Managed to survive long enough to have my first siege ever for any of my forts, by a necromancer and around 30 or so zombies.  During the chaos the necromancer was caught in a cage, and I released me horribly unarmed and unarmored just drafted dwarves to beat the zombies to death.  First I stationed the marksdwarves behind the gate, when it opened, approximately 3/4 of the zombies were gunned down before they could even get past the four tile bridge, then while the archers were being mauled, I sent my wrestlers to start crushing skulls.  They decided protection wasn't enough, and went outside to start killing everything within range. 

None of it mattered though, because winter set in and we were out of booze, and when I tried to dig down, I couldn't find a single cavern all the way down to z-level -29

Ignoring mandates and my mayor altogether, and I've added a few coffins to compensate. Instead I'm focusing on getting general rooms ready, 10 along different walls, and 3 stories high. 90 3x3 rooms should be enough before I start building things like town halls and such...

I got a progressing alpaca farm, used for cheese and wool, and a fair-sized war-dog training ground. Well, compact, but fair sized for how much room I have available.

My next projects are to finish the apartments, lined the entire top wall with cage traps (damn keas... I'm giong to tame those freaking birds), and clear out the trees that keep blocking caravan carts.

Doing a dry run (heh)  of the water clock for my megaproject.  For once I'm trying to get the water to flow at a slower rate rather than faster.

Ònul Domaskokeb, Strand Extractor cancels Extract Metal Strands: Needs raw adamantine.

Well now.

[Lielac]

So I made appropriate lodgings for the monarch. I haven't fitted it with magma plumbing but that will come in time. Now, all I need to do is wait for the dwarven caravan, dump 7500☼ worth of mugs on it as an offering to the Mountainhome, and I am golden.

Oh, I should probably make a lavish jail.


Lolwut, human diplomat. In Autumn. (And it's actually human and not a beast or demon, more's the wtfery.) Still, the dwarven caravan has arrived as expected so I'll proceed as normal.

For my entire Dorfin' history, I've never once noticed that. My challenge : Raise this child from this day forward to a death by old age.

SO HELP ME, MY WILL SHALL BE DONE, OR THIS CHILD WILL SUFFER FOR IT.

Good luck!

My current goal is just to get my fort to Mountainhome status. Also to successfully create a dwarven checkerboard to clear out Hell so I can use the addy, but mostly Mountainhome.


EDIT: Y'know what's really annoying? When the second cavern of two turns out to be right in the middle of your dwarven checkerboard plans. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I'll probably be able to manage, I've got four levels between the bottom of the cavern and the magma sea, but that's exactly how much zspace the board needs and I just know I'm going to be beset by damp/warm cancel spam because of the cavern lake above and magma below.

Got my stone stockpile dumped next to the workshop room.
Got no spare time for dwarves until I get migrants. Everyone is planting,dumping,mining,brewing,crafting,breaking,etc...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Speaking of migrants, they come.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A couple and their one daughter. They get in through Migrant Tube #1 just as Wild Boar Corpses spawn on on other side of map.
I wish there was more migrants. I need more dwarves.
I convert them to one brewer and one stonecrafter and everyone is still hella busy.

...

I finally get the militia going with their bronze battle axes.
They celebrate by sparring. Next for them is armor, because they are rusty in armor skill.

The child is helping me pick all the plants from my fields. Very good.
And wow I'm glad the migrants came earlier, there's a tone of death outside for some reason right now.

Lastly, I take that one leather from earlier and I make a bag.
I will need more bags to hold all my seeds.
Otherwise, the dwarves put one plump-helmet-seed in each bag and then all the other seeds don't fit anywhere.

recently forgot to dissarm a practice goblin for my dwarves to flail at. it ended in one of my dwarves losing an arm. shame, that.

[azrael300]

whats going on in my fort you say?

well  10 ... miner faints 9 ... 8 soldiers are beating up a cave crocodile in a cave and 1 was injured and the other was important so its 8 people beating up a cave crocodile and no other were injured besides the crocodile.the crocodile had about more that 100 injuries and is sleeping from a few hits in the head and is not nearly dead .after a hour still not nearly dead so i disbanded them because some other creatures were stealing my stuff he got through the children and animals at the front door, then i told them to go and kill the crocodile. i told them to get weapons before the crocodile had 100 injuries but they just kept on beating it so when they came back with weapons in one second the crocodile is dead.funny thing is... i set the speed for dwarfs to 1.and now i have a miner that has a speed of a really slow dwarf.

I've got a goblin siege that's come to a dead halt around the river on the western side of the map as they form up around their swimming/drowned leaders and just sit there, a freshly dead vampire who was the first victim of the dwarven justice system, a troll in a cage, and a deranged !!science!! project to produce a chicken-based weapon, just because I think it'll be funny. And very, very messy.

How was my month, you ask?

Digging designation cancelled: damp stone located.

Soggy and heavily micromanaged. How was yours?

1/2 tanks dug out, starting on the second one now (18th Granite 105). The only way I survived digging directly under the lake was through having turned off pause-on-damp-stone.

Thanks. Narrow cavern layers can be a pain. I've dug 1/3 the entire distance of my map, and haven't even bumped into the first layer yet :d

Oh, and my resevoir has been filling up for two years now. Still not full. I think I might have over done it just a *tad* bit.

[Orky_Boss]

I've embarked on a Terrifying biome. It's currently raining frozen dwarf blood (Snow's still on the ground), and I'm trying to get everything form the wagon underground before the undead grasshopper parts get close enough to hurt someone. Eventually I might be able to make an atomsmasher simply for the sake of smashing dead parts, but for now I simply have to hope I can try to survive without going to the surface (With the exception of wood).
