Started a new test fort to check out Modest Mod, and to fiddle with tilesets, and color schemes, but the fort grew on me. Everything is so awesomely named, one way or another. (Okay, overstatement
)
In the year 15, the Ardent Mines, of The Ship of Armories, founded Fleshmetal.
I underestimated my booze stockpiles, thanks to the seasonal crops mod, luckily the moment we reached zero drinks, the elves came to the rescue with their berries, and a couple of barrels.
I have only found silver and lead so far, metal bars have to be imported, but no one has iron.
Had a small skirmish with Cave Swallow men, and a Molemarian, a hunter and a planter died in the result. Uvash Calmfountains decided to become Uvash Berserkfountains, and started shooting at everyone with his bone crossbow, a loyal dog tried to stop him, but he shot the dog in the head, had to assemble a miner militia squad to deal with Uvash.
Beat back some goblin ambushes without losses, two heroes rose from the battles, Ber Granitefather the Savagery of Racks (pity it's not rocks
), and Cerol Murderedhalls the Roasted Beard of Quietness. Also there's a god of revenge named, Bim the Ignited Disemboweler of Throwers.
Accidentally released a troll near my chained giant cave spider, it took quite a lot of time to the put the troll down through the constant web spraying.
Found a magma pool, and started paving it over with microcline, to hold a magma industry.
Realized that keas can be nice, and sometimes clean up a battlefield after you, other times they rush headlong into your fort.
I'm in year 18, now.
