After a long argument among the nobles of the fortress, we have decided to continue to build the tower. Despite the fact that it only started as a result of the mad queen, the new queen demanded that we continue to build the tower ‘in her legacy,’ whatever that means.
The queen also demanded royal accommodations for her new royal self. I have decided to give in to her demands, and the current plans for the tower are scrapped to build her royal dining and bedrooms. Praise be to Queen Fath Splashcrafted!
She has no immediate family at all.

A dwarf got a strange look in his eye today. He immediately walked into our dining hall and started shouting at the top of his lungs that he needed a jewelers shop. I was about to ignore him and let him go mad, but the queen ordered a workshop built.
We also discovered the magma sea today! Of course, the queen has forbidden the use of magma forges unless we move the magma to the tower, so I do not believe we will use magma forges any time soon.
More importantly, we have also discovered adamantine, which will be important if we ever decided to start using armor when our military fights.

Our great and wise queen has demanded us to make bolts. It is good to know that our noble queen wants us to make items that will be useful to the fortress in the long term.
We have begun to dump the large amount of bodies we have in the refuse pile in the magma sea. Hopefully this will stop people from having mental breakdowns every time they leave the tower.
Oh, and the screaming dwarf finally finished the artifact. Congratulations on producing the most useless artifact I’ve ever seen.

Crap.
I order the entire military to go defend their fellow soldier from the beasts of the caverns. With unmatched bravery, each dwarf charges forward, screaming with the ferocity of a berserk troll. They see the giant cave spider, and with all their power rush to attack it…
And all of them immediately get stuck in the webs.
The militia captain does not survive.
None of the rest of the dwarves fare so well, either. That is until Shipcat decides he’s had enough, and kills the beast with a single swipe of his axe.
Typical.

A second dwarf starts running around, but without the screaming this time. He runs straight to the mechanics workshop and starts building. Maybe this will be something good.
By the way, did you know the symbol of our government is a forgotten beast? I didn’t, but I gained a lot more respect for the founders of this wretched place.

A dwarven caravan has arrived. It just occurred to me that no humans had come to our fortress to trade. Anyway we traded to the caravan in exchange for some food, blocks, and metal bars. Nothing really special happened.

Wow, this is actually a useful artifact. I immediately placed it in one of the queen’s rooms. The queen is the greatest and noblest out of all of us, it seems only fit that she get are most prized possessions.
Also, a troll killed an axedwarf today. Shipcat killed it in revenge. That’s two deadly beast kills for Shipcat.

A marksdwarf died from infection today. I assume she was injured fighting the giant cave spider. That makes four military dwarves dead during my rule. It also means if you’re in the military and your name is not Shipcat, your survival chances for more than one year are about 50%.

Due to poor planning on my part, part of the tower collapsed. Luckily it was only a minor setback and no dwarves were seriously harmed (well, one dwarf’s legs were “torn into loose shreds,” but I don’t consider that very serious).
Also, we were attacked by a cave crocodile, but Shipcat killed it before it hurt anybody.

The queen spoke with me today. Apparently, she disproved of my “poor decisions which led to the death of half our military” among other things. She told me to step down as overseer of the tower. She would put someone else in charge.
I begged for her forgiveness but she stood firm in her decision. As a message to the next overseer: please add more wealth to the queen’s rooms. They are almost up to her standards, but not quite.
Other than the queen’s quarters, the top floor is a new mason’s workshop, with stockpiles for both stone and blocks.
Praise be to Queen Splashcrafted! May she live long and prosper!

So a pretty boring year. Other than the queen dying and being replaced, nothing really happened. Endlessblaze has been dorfed as a farmer, the last free dorf from the starting seven.
Also, a note about the FPS. It is insane. I could be cruising along at 100 fps, then it suddenly shoots down to 20, then back up to 70 ten seconds later. The average seems to be around 85-90, so nothing horrible. If you don’t like it, you will need to kill any birds that arrive right away, because they will lag your game down. Closing off the caverns could also stabilize it.
Good luck! Save is here:
