I may actually be able to do a generational fort in this version.
In v43.xx I rarely got one kid.
now I've got two dwarves that cannot stop pumping out the kiddos. And artifacts. I am going to try to build my fort around them, with a primary family, migrants, and others that get the work done while the prime families get to follow their preferences as much as possible.
In this family alone, Fath Shellarbor (creator of Yoretwinklle the Land of Weathering)--currently dual-wielding dwarven babies--and her husband, Melbil Coalpleat (creator of Guardheavens the Unseen Winter), are the parents of 4 of the 6 children that have been born to our fortress:
Ral Stoppedmountain (Age 2, Slate 6th Spring Year 3, daughter and just-now-declared Heir to the Fortress. Future Noble and.....Bracelet maker?)
Kubuk Shadykeys (Age 2, 27th Opal Winter Year 3, creator of Nastyfill the Future Floor, daughter. Future Legendary Weaponsmith, Leatherworker [Short Swords, Quivers])
Thob (9 Months [Granite 3rd, year 5], son. Future Legendary Weaponsmith, Clothier [Trousers, Enormous Corkscrews])
Ducim Defensetowns (Born today [Moonstone 7th, Year 5], daughter, future Legendary Weaponsmith, Armorsmith, and Siege Engineer [Prefs: Maces, Gauntlets, Siege Parts)
Secondary Families:
Onul Girderscribe (Herbalist, needs a new job)
Kib Packedbolts (Bookkeeper, Manager, Broker)
Iteb Salveorders (Age 2, Slate 7th)
Avuz Crystalbalance (Age 2, Obsidian 10th)
Obviously Melbil and Fath are the ones I'm honoring, with 3 artifacts in the family ALREADY, 6 members of the family......and hopefully more because they're about to be sequestered away with the non-grazing animals, a butchery, a tannery, and all of the raw plants the fort ever gets.
They will be required to keep the animal population in check, cull the weak from the herds so we get the strongest animals possible, and produce metric Boatmurdered-loads of booze. Airlock stockpiles will be created to give them more glass pots and plants, as well as exporting of meat products.
Kib will be stripped of his Broker role, and along with his wife (stripped of her Legendary Herbalist role), will be packed into their own, personal vault, with all the dye, dye plants, cloth, a Quern, a Clothier's Shop, thread, etc that we have (with airlocks to send in more), along with copious amounts of booze. They will be reponsible for punching out babies, and keeping our fortress clothed. Their vault may be next door to our webbing FB's future home. And a GCS cage if I can manage to capture one (or a breeding pair).
The two sets of parents will probably share the same Vault for the time being.
