I tried playing long enough to get the migrants to arrive, but once they showed up, I simply lost it - everything is a complete and total mess, and I can't tell where anything is, let alone what actually needs to be done. I'm usually used to managing working fortresses, not utter disasters like this. I'd try and rebuild this one, but I simply don't have the patience.

You're on your own.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Sadness. I'll let KingMurdoc take a turn now, since NCommander's last turn was too recent.

Curious, what exactly was it you were looking for at the time that wound up pushing you over the edge?

Sorry guys, I was busy. And then away for a week at camp.

I'd be willing to do another turn of this, if nobody else is up at the moment. Might not be able to go for a whole turn, though - school's coming up quickly. Still, better half a year than nothing, right?

Shall I tack you on to the end of the turn list, or just remove you outright?

Curious, what exactly was it you were looking for at the time that wound up pushing you over the edge?
It started when I realized that there were 19 nobles that needed rooms, with a small number of existing rooms that might meet part of their demands.
Then I tried to find somewhere to build the farm plots, realizing that they were a long way away from the relevant stockpiles.
Then a strange mood happened that needed crystal glass, and I tried to figure out where to put the necessary workshops (a magma kiln and an ashery), at which point I discovered a back entrance into the fortress that had been infiltrated by kobolds (by which they stole THREE artifacts) and realized that the whole fortress was a complete and total disaster.

I normally exhibit certain levels of OCD when designing fortresses (planning in advance the locations of workshops, stockpiles, dining rooms, sleeping quarters, noble rooms, etc.), and with 23a it's driven into complete overdrive due to the fact that many mistakes are permanent (floodgates and wells leave Channels behind and thus cannot be replaced, excavated walls cannot be replaced because there's no Constructions, and careless irrigation can permanently flood a farming area or even the entire fortress).

I thought I would be able to overcome it, but I was wrong.

This isn't a good time because I'm currently driving cross-country with a friend and I have very limited game time. If its still available when I get to New York in 5 or so days, I'll grab it then.

Is your plan really to flush water into hell, and have the CARP marines fight them without threat of flame or disease?  If so, you are awesome, and one of the greatest DF military visionaries I've seen yet ( not that I've seen that many, or any, for that matter )
